I whole heartedly approve of this pitting. I faced the issue this very day, wanting to argue about some sacred cow or another.
Glad to see you Zev!
Your experience on other boards is a karmic nudge that you should grace us with your presence more!
On one of the other points, my local newspaper has permanently turned off the comments option. I whole-heartedly approve of that editorial decision.
I see what you did there. Now please excuse me. I need to rant inside my head about people who put the punctuation mark outside the quote, but I won’t here because you are Spanish and you [del]were taught wrong and don’t know any better[/del] are trying to manipulate me with your sexy, Latin ways. My mother warned me about your kind.
Well, to be fair…we do have a few dipsticks.
Even our dipsticks are a cut above.
I read that as “Even our dipsticks are a cult above.”
Works either way. 
Serves you well, Zev. Never step outside again. It’s crazy out there.
The addition of a couple of newish moderators, Jonathan Chance and **engineer_comp_geek **has added a bit of freshness to the board.
They have not yet allowed their own personal slants to sully their moderation efforts. The older termed mods have mostly succumbed to personal bias, but not these two yet.
God bless their naïve hearts. It is becoming possible to actually discuss issues without the shout down from the echo chamber. I hope it continues.
My dipstick is bigger smarter and longer than yours.
Or UD. It could go either way.
Commas…always remember the commas.
Perhaps we could have a forum that serves as a halfway house for members who are thinking of posting to other message boards. It should be easy to establish; merely run a script that generates responses to any new thread along the lines of:
“FIRST”
“lol u fag”
“no u”
“i8ur mom”
“rofl”
After a few days, one will be sufficiently acclimatized to the environment of the rest of the internet.
Suck it up, bitch.
