Izzy, this is not MY thread. It's here as a public service to all chiffers in need of a good primal scream.

Emm, are we allowed two? Primal screams, that is?

emmline · Post by **emmline** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 6:10 pm

I'm not setting rules...just opening an opportunity. Scream all you want!

<-- Primal Scream

Thanks for that opportunity, Emm!

Yeah... I rather liked that too. I couldn't help but use it for a siggy line.

I dread the time that shall surely come when I need a catharsis. Incontinence is the badge of all our tribe...

No, it's just an idiosyncratic etiquette issue. When a whistle maker starts one of his/her few allowed threads to promote his/her business, it strikes me that that thread is not the place to weigh in with negative opinions about that person's products. (unless he/she asked for reviews.)
I'm all for free discussion of opinions about whistles, and open reviewing, but how about posting an independent review, rather than highjacking a craftperson's promotional thread?

edit: I've been chastised gently for this kind of snarl before...I think it may be a peeve that's unique to me. I'm not trying to derail the cherished C&F uncensored, free-posting ideology. (nor do I intend to behave offensively toward the chiffers who've expressed the negative opinions I refer to here--they are chiffers whose opinions, I'll add, I tend to respect.)

I shan't chastise, I agree completely." Shan't " a contraction of shan not, as in I shan not go swimming or giving unsolicited negative jibes ( hardly reviews ) on makers limited approved announcement threads today. Today I also shan't eat biscuits and gravy, nor stand on one leg.

I shan not hang around C&F too long today....too much to do.

I shan not receive my new whistle today for the mail shan not be delivering on this All Hallow's Eve, which falls on Sunday. That falls under the "primal scream" category as well for I'm none too happy about it

Oh, golly . . . I can't wait to see what kind of innuendo this will drag to the surface.

Cool! So I wasn't the only one who felt that way.

Don't really need to vent, but I have to admit that that thread did make me a little uncomfortable.
