All this beating around the bush is making my head hurt. \*\* I’ve got no beef with **Twist**. My point in starting this thread was to define (for myself) what the boundaries are and what is/is not the purpose of this forum. My apologies that it’s getting turned into a spin-off, if you will, of another thread. ---

I beg to differ. The OP may not have been a personal attack on **Bossk** , but many of the replies contained personal attacks. Hell, one kind poster even told me to commit suicide, remember? To the end that _this_ thread is turning into a spin-off of _that_ one, and the fact that my questions posed in the OP of this thread have been answered to my suffice, I’m discontinuing my participation. And no, not because I don’t want to answer the teeming millions’ rebuttals, but because I don’t want to subject more innocent people to this nonsense than we already have. ---

I helped with the hijack, and I do apologize for it. That doesn’t belong in this thread. Hopefully **Lynn** answered your questions. If you have any other questions, I’ll be helpful and leave other issues in the other thread where they belong. Sorry again. ---

Oops. Simulpost. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Devil May Care \* > **Hell, one kind poster even told me to commit suicide, remember?** Actually I don’t remember, but I’m not the most reliable person memory-wise. I do remember the thread, though so I’ll take another look, but that comment seems out of line. ---

FYI, you can email a mod to request to have a thread closed if you feel it has served it’s purpose. ---

I hadn’t realized I could request that. I just figured when they thought its time was up, they’d do it themselves if the felt it was necessary. ---

Yep this is the place. Yep we have a secret handshake and if you have to ask then you aren’t in the’clique’. But I must warn you, violin music is extra and must be requested in advance. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-this-not-the-right-place/92147.md?page=1)
