This is a protest thread. People are upset about **twix** , and by extension the others mods and by extension the SDMB - so now we are occupying the SDMB! We are going to keep this thread going until our demands are met! note: our demands still being formulated ---

There was a time when I found the SDMB online and thought “Holy shit this is cool”. Now I wish that this black hole of mental masterbation was nothing more than a bad dream and that I had to go to my local book store to get the latest in the series of “The straight dope” paperback books. It used to be simple and, Cecil was the man. ---

I’ll occupy if someone brings brownies and hot chocolate. Also I don’t want to sleep in a tent, it’s too cold here. I’m going home every night. ---
