Slan,

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

He does seem to be a bit excitable lately...

Gary, time to check your meds.

Gary didn't exactly squeal--it was more of a grunt.
And he didn't exactly run--is was more of a trot, in the manner of satyrs. Or a scurry. In the manner of gollums.

...Change of topic...



Okay I was thinking of thread Hijacks lately and wondering.

One of the moderators may lock the thread if the hijack becomes so out of poor taste that they feel that it is no longar useful to the forum.

Inevitably, some one will cry censorship. My question is, can thread hijacking itself a form of censorship?

I am thinking back to jsluder and dubhlin’s attempts to side track some political threads.
It was all in good fun and harmless. However…

At times it seems like some one going to well planned rally and when the speaker of the day starts talking someone with a blow horn starts yelling and disrupting the rally. Some threads become so inter laced with insults being tossed back and forth that the original topic gets lost in the noise. This to me seems like a way of censoring topics.

Been thinking about this for a while, just my thoughts

I much prefer Pepper Jack, but will settle for Kojac, if the tootsie pop is chocolate.
