At least I get text wrapping.
Make that a dunce cap.
Every thread is an implicit poll - if the community thinks it’s worthwhile, people will post to it and keep it going; if not, it drops off the front page pretty quickly. There’s no need for moderator action unless actual rules are broken.
I’d bet 5:1 he watches shemale porn.
And the Queen probably has to improvise. I’d bet she uses an electric toothbrush. Probably named it Gerard too.
Previously addressed: “this place is so full of JHS+moonbeamer/libertarian type
s that it might be no thread was ever locked if it were up to a poll” much less if
it were up to an implicit poll, or whatever.
It is time to close this thread.
This post reminds me of the Colbert Report where he learns about the decision-making process of Occupy Wall Street. See starting at 3:40 or so.
I sense that Inner Stickler is casting a “block” on closing down the thread. However, I am making a triangle thing with my fingers, which requires everyone else to make other finger motions to make no decision in a consensus sort of way that will lay out non-rules for nobody to enforce the will of everyone who agrees to be bound by the feelings of those who are not the moderators.
We are the 99%!!
So stop posting in it. Problem solved.
My posts are not the problem. Ergo problem unsolved.
When Dopers go on and on about how the SDMB is the smartest and most intellectual message board on the Internet (often when defending the board against some change they see is “juvenile” such as avatars), with rarefied, intellectual discourse akin to what they think must take place behind the closed doors of an Ivy faculty lounge, and every member claims to have a genius-level IQ …
Only if the idea of a thread existing in the abstract bothers you.
Stupidity bothers me, whether concrete or abstract.
However, it is incorrect to say that a thread I do not reply to can only be abstact.
When scrolling around here or in any other chat room it is impossible to miss the
thread titles, right? And as I said earlier: “I have seen plenty of thread titles so disgusting
I would not want to look at them.”
Got it now?
That seems like your problem, not ours.
Many of them have wisely been closed, making them nobody’s problem, except for the JHS-moonbeamer/libertarian types.
Apparantly not.
Seriously, if a thread title bothers you just roll your eyes, continue thinking how much better you are than the rest of us and then mosey on.
Just because you have a problem doesn’t make it the rest of the worlds problem.
The solution to that problem is be a fucking adult.
Soon I hope.
That’s what I usually do. Since someone started a thread on it I thought I would contribute.
Much of the rest of the world does have problems I don’t have. Take the guy who started the thread referenced in OP…
Last post for me-- to many JHS caliber replies.
That means the people who started the threads I have in mind could not possibly be part of the solution, although their critics might be.
OK. I’m wearing socks.
