Egad. I’d always thought Bible thumper meant that they thumped you upon the head with their Bibles. I stand corrected. ---

> [@Evil Captor](#): > > I am sure that the OP meant “Almost all Republicans except for a few who **should be Libertarians and Democrats anyway**.” To be nuanced and all. You have some reason you don’t want these people to be a part of the voice of the GOP? Seems to me that more of these so-called Libertarians and Democrats should be members of the GOP.

> [@SimonX](#): > > Seems to me that more of these so-called Libertarians and Democrats should be members of the GOP. Oh, blech. I should be a member of a party that would impose upon me its picayune and hypocritical morality, its hegemonic lust for cultural domination, its black-hearted dismissal of whole classes of people as subhuman, its fetish over red-white-and-blue rah-rah rags that it holds to be sacred, its oppression of dissent, its narrow-minded and Neanderthal comprehension of patriotism, its irresponsible disregard for fiscal restraint, its advocacy and implementation of mind-boggling bureaucratic growth and sprawl, its endless and boundless interference in the private lives of peaceful honest people, its War on This and its War on That? Thank you, but no. ---

What a mess this thread turned out to be. **gobear** , do _not_ dredge up old user names. Refer to posters by the names they’re known by now. To do otherwise is confusing to newer posters as well as any hapless souls who haven’t kept track of long-standing grudges. Do _not_ do this again. TVeblen ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > Can you fix the HTML problem, **TVeblem**? I have no idea what bad of tricks you have access to with your mod functions that we lowly mortals don’t see. I looked at the source code for this page. There’s embedded table-closing codes in **gobear** ’s quote of **Liberal** ’s post-full-of-evidentiary-links-to-threds that are not present in **Lib** ’s post – but look like they somehow embedded themselves accidentally in the middle of a “a href=” code (what the “url=” code is translated to by the VBB software). Editing out the sentence about the terms of the 1991 ceasefire from **gobear** ’s quote of **Lib** should fix the problem; it’s embedded in the middle of that. ---

Good one **Poly** , I was afraid they’d have to edit the HTML generated by the software, which they may not be able to do in a clean manner, or at all. If the fix is simply editing a post, that’s obviously a standard thing they can do. ---

Correct in essence, if not in specifics. If any mods care, **Mockingbird** first refers to Joe as **goboy** in post #23. **gobear** responds in post #24. In other words, he really did hit him first… ---

Why do you chastise me for responding, yet say nothing to the person who actually offered the insult first in an unprovoked attack? Typical moderator favoritism. It was not favoritism. I simply didn’t catch it. My apologies for that but it _was_ just an oversight. I’m taking care of this from work, which is something I very rarely do. I have a night meeting as well so fixing the html thing won’t happen until tomorrow at the earliest either. **Mockingbird** , you are hereby warned in your turn to not dredge up old user names, for the same reasons explained before. Sheesh, this inanity would shame a kindergarten class. TVeblen ---

Sorry, the SDMB has banned peanut butter due to the fact that the gerbils could suffer an anaphylactic shock from a flying sandwich. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 😃 ---
