Could we please have a sticky reminding folks not to incite wars with other message boards? ---

Because people need to be reminded of that? And if they were reminded, they’d stop? Interesting concept. Could be applied elsewhere if it worked. ---

You’re best bet is to report the post, **Darth Nader** , and let a mod handle it. Otherwise, did you have something recent and specific in mind, or was this a general concern? You’re welcome to PM or e-mail me if you don’t want to get into the specifics of it publicly. ---

I say we sever diplomatic relations with the Cheez Whiz recipe board on the Kraft website. It will serve as an example that will send a clear enough message to all our enemies. ---

While we’re at it, can we have stickies reminding members not to leap into wood chippers while wearing tuxedos, not to launch kittens with a trebuchet on Thursdays and never, ever lick a running chainsaw. Thanks! ---

The safest option is a decapitation strike and occupation. A strong InterBoard military is the clearest and safest way forward during these troubled times. ---

I, for one, am not willing to sit down at the table with Yahoo Answers! without some very strong preconditions. ---

It’s true. Going into battle armed only with lumber is fruitless.
