I prefer when someone participates in a conversation that they have started. ---

I think most of us prefer that. ---

True. If you ask people to educate you, and they do, and that was actually what you wanted, I think you ought to say ‘thanks’. Partly because it’s polite. And partly because not doing so leaves at least some of us wondering whether that was actually what was wanted, or whether what that poster thought they’d get was either a whole lot of agreement along the lines of How Dare Anybody Think Black People Are Disadvantaged Compared To White People And That White People Ought To Do Something About It, or some miscellaneous weak noise that they thought they knew how to easily argue against. But it is possible that a person is that clueless about history and modern society. And it’s possible that somebody that clueless about those things is also clueless about how to post on a message board. (One of the cats typed 36 in there. I’m clueless as to what he meant by that, and have removed it.) ---

“Fhtagn” is the sound a cat makes when they cough up a hairball. ---

Maybe Cathulhu will be nice to me if I scratch their ears properly and make an offering of cat food? ---

No, though I used to, I had some of his books once upon a time. He and Sergio Aragones were my favorites in _Mad_. I’ve more recently read Lovecraft… ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > [note - image above is one of my cats, photoshop addition of Lightsaber by @wolfpup] That looks more like a pencil than a lightsaber. (now I wonder what’s cooler, a cat that can handle a lightsaber or a pencil?) Cool cat anyway. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > In fairness, most cats are trolls. Oh, you’re correct about that. The behavior we put up with from cats (and children for that manner) would absolutely be trolling by any rational human standard. > [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > That looks more like a pencil than a lightsaber. (now I wonder what’s cooler, a cat that can handle a lightsaber or a pencil?) Cool cat anyway. Wolfpup threw it together when I mentioned (back in the cat avatar thread) I had considered using the base image with a bit of cropping and cleaning as “Darth Kitteous” to offset the new Kenobi-Kat. And another poster said the paw position was purrrrfect for a lightsaber. I’m sure if they or another poster wanted to do a more detailed piece of work they could.
