I feel that if every thread is going to turn into a slanging match this place will die very quickly.

the cellar won't die because of this. it will become less enjoyable for awhile as the more mild mannered posters choose to back away for a bit. but they won't go away. if you look at old threads you'll see that there is always someone who is drawing the ire and flames of other posters. Marichiko happens to be the only one i'm aware of that has done it for more than two years straight, was banned, came back and is still a magnet for hostility.

Isn't there a special award for infamous longevity?

Will you give me the apple?

I checked. I hope it isn't a double quote. Except for Bri's signature line.

I use the Cellar for whatever I need at the time....

To learn something new
To find out what's going on
To see what other people think
To learn about somebody
To help somebody
To get some help with something
To piss and moan and pretend my opinion actually matters
To crack a joke
To crack a head
To restore some order
To wreak some havoc
To jack my post count :-)
To make fun of Lumberjim :-)
But, mostly, to stay sharp.

I mostly hang out in the corner smoking a cigarette and like the idea that I can step out of the shadows and get involved whenever I want without feeling any pressure to do so. What I've learned to do is pick and choose my entry and exit points. Its like being at a very interesting party and being able to turn invisible or visible at will.

The Cellar is many things: A news source, an art gallery, a novel, a soap opera, a kangaroo court, a debate you observe or engage, a soap box, a history lesson, an evolving and slightly unstable social structure, a helping hand, a pity party, a confession line, an open-mic night, a talent show, defender of truth, an advice line, a support group.

In the end, the Cellar is the truth.

Well put Beestie.
