Finally! A thread about beef and pork in the BBQ Pit Forum! What are the odds? ---

So she didn’t read the user agreement before posting. Who does? Shit, I’ve been here twelve years and I haven’t read it yet, and I am sure many here can say much the same thing. I vote to let her post, as long as she doesn’t try to sell any more overpriced cow parts. ETA: (remembering many of the posts in this thread) Er, if she still wants to. :eek: ---

Oh sure it’s all fun and easy to ridicule the spammers of this world, but are they not people too? If you prick them, do they not bleed? Simple Linctus, dropzone and I are going to take a courageous stand today and say, “No more!” We will not tolerate the banning of Kate and her deliciously mispriced beef! We will not tolerate the squelching of free enterprise and those who would say, “Hello!” We will not go gently into that good night! ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > What a horrible name for a cow! He was probably glad to be put out of his misery. The cow likely deserved it. You know, a lot of people think cattle are just a bunch of slow-witted cud-munchers. Maybe so, but most cows also have a terrible mean streak, often stomping on smaller farm creatures, purposely causing havoc with expensive agricultural equipment, and even kicking over pails and spilling milk that some poor maid needed to sell for her family to try and pay off their crushing mortgage. Ugh, cows! The saying is really quite true. You gotta be cruel to be kine. ---

I love small business. What I hate is spammers. But look, after I banned the OP, I went and made a bunch of cole slaw, because everyone was having so much fun. ---

Oh, I see. You know who else hated spammers? Hitler! Doug Hitler. He modded over at the Brown Shirt Message Board for a while back in '42 and he was \*always \*taking down spammers. For Adolph, who hated them just as much as Doug, but was too busy with other things to effectively moderate the forums. Nice company you keep, Lynn. ---

Well maybe if you hadn’t so hastily deleted Katie’s link, you could be shoving a nice grass-fed brisket into a gas oven in 5-7 business days. I’d say “Your loss,” but really, it’s all of ours. ---
