I suggest the instant Carol herself posts to this thread, everyone just abandon it. Anyone who posts in response to Carol is, I trust we can all agree, a troll-feeding moron who should be beaten with a pool cue as foreplay to being sodomized with it. ---

If **Carol Stream** actually posts to this thread it’ll get serious in a heartbeat. Maybe even lead to a meltdown, (and not necessarily **CS’s** either.) Otherwise it will be a joke thread until it sinks out of sight. If I were you **LB** I might hope for that. I’ve seen these kind of threads a million times. Everyone recognizes **Carol** for what she is, (or what they think she is) the important thing to keep in mind is that people that respond to her aren’t necessarily actually responding to her. They’re talking to the thousands of lurkers, (generally like myself as I rarely make myself know in threads of any consequence), who may be swayed by such empty rhetoric. ---

Carol won’t be posting in this thread for awhile since she’s banned from posting in the pit for now…or did a few of you miss that announcment? : p ---

Not just all _over_ it (which implies the surface) but isn’t there a dead mouse in there somewhere too? I’m going to start checking my butter. ---

I had a longer post typed out, but then I concluded I was being whooshed. ---

And since \*\*Carol Stream \*\*can’t defend herself here, I’m going to close this thread. Sorry to pee out the campfire. She’ll be allowed back into the Pit in two weeks. At that point, someone can start a new thread, or report a post from this one, or PM or email me or **Miller** , and we’ll reopen it. **Gfactor** Pit Moderator [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/from-now-on-can-we-just-do-this-when-carol-stream-shows-up/519273.md?page=1)
