Disassociated banter and homeless chit-chat thread

Cyclefrance · 03-30-2006, 10:13 PM

Being the kind of guy that tries to find win-win solutions to sticky problems, may I suggest that this location might suit our three newcomers who seem to have penetrated deeply the nostrils of many longer-serving incumbents - and for that matter it could also be a place for anyone else who wants somewhere to vent such communications.

This way the established topic and thread structure that makes this forum such an enjoyable place to be remains intact, and at the same time there is a place to accommodate the style of belonging that our newies enjoy. Result: everyone achieves and retains Goldilocks standard of presence (you know, the one she found after trying a couple of alternatives that ended up being just right...)

See, we old buggers can come up with interesting ideas and solutions on occasions.

I hope Messrs Flint, Steve Bsjb and Dev of AG consider this proposal in the spirit it is given and intended and (to continue the fairy story theme) actively ambrace its intention to allow us all to live happily ever after (all together now.... aaaaahhhhh....! - and also please note Brit bods diehard attempts to refrain from splitting any infinitive!)

Seems that yoo hoo may have already establioshed such a location - can therefore also use old age as an excuse for making an unnecessary suggestion....

I tried that already, Cyclefrance. There's a whole thread about it down in the Internet Forum. They ain't buying. So much for fantasyland. Speaking of, they remind me of those aliens you came up with in our little fiction project. What did you call them, again? Where's Sheila's grandmother when you need her? And me with all my crochet hooks already packed! (sigh)

They do SEEM to be settling down - sort of.

I can't think of a polite way to broach the subject of these chronological age references.

Well Cyclepants... I don't really understand why it is you feel the need to segregate me to a certain thread or lump me into any particular group... I find little to no pearls of wisdom in these post by you that gives you any authority what so ever to dictate where anyone can post or not post...

Why don't you take a deep breath now and regain your heart rhythm... and peddle your ass around this forum and find out how many threads I've made and post that were idle chit chat... you act as if you've been here forever... but your born on date hasn't even left the brewery...

Last time I checked... I'm able to post where I want... when I want... and how I want... administrators can put and end to this here... and I'll just go elsewhere... until till then... I'm in control of what and where I post... I don't need anyones help in dictating where or when or how much that will be...

there... was that long winded enough for ya... incase you were wondering... that was a rhetorical question...

If this lasts too long, most people get sick of it and leave on their own. A very few start to get resentful, and become abusive and nasty, and have to be removed. This story happens a couple of times a year, which explains why a number of regulars are so quick to get annoyed.

Speaking of high school... 20 year class reunion this year! Woo-hoo!
