> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Falcon \* > \*\*I was going to come post, but I see PLG has said it all for me. :)😃 \*\* Falcon, what is your deal? I’ve gotten the vibe that you don’t like me several times, but every time I’ve met you I’ve tried to be nice and see if it was just me… in NYC you sort of snubbed me, but it was a huge gathering so I blew it off. You showed up to my birthday get together, so I figured it was just me. I like you just fine. Now you say this? Wtf? I don’t get it. How long does it take you to put makeup on those two faces in the morning, anyway? ---

Hey Coldfire, Opal just called you a wuss too. Are you going to let her get away with that? Are you? ---

::::: chiming in with her opinion :::::: Why can’t we all just… getalong. Ya know? Opal: I always find your posts amusing, and deeply human. You fight for what you believe is right, and can create uprisings around what you believe to be unfair. This is a talent, a skill, that I admire you for. You stand for what you believe in, at all costs. Obviously, this comes with its dangers. Coldfire: You’ve always been helpful, comical, and insightful. I appreciate your input on all matters. From all I’ve seen, you’ve handled things in a professional way, as much as possible. Why not agree to a truce? 😉 I’ll even _draft_ an agreement for you 😉 and with some luck, you won’t continue sendin’ the mortar crashin’ down on each other… C’mon, guys… no need to start trying to cyberassassinate one another. Man… I can never stand gloomy threads… wanna see me make funny faces? Huh? I can make you all some animal baloons… and… errr… Back to your regular programming… Elenfair (who used to be nicknamed U.N. when she was in highschool) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SPOOFE \* > \*\*[it’s been done before](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31483#post594697). \*\* Awright SPOOFE, I’m calling you out. I _will not_ put up with you saying it’s been done before. In other words: Oh you’re right. We don’t have any new posters since 1999, this is totally redundant. :rolleyes: And I have over 27 e-mails of support all of which state that you’re wrong and I’m right, one person (a delicate, flowerlike soul, who’s far to dainty to _ever_ consider flaming anyone) says you’re a poopy-head _and_ I have 55 **more** e-mails that state that you should bring back the “bo Diddly”! So the weight of public opinion is clearly in MY favor, not yours. But this isn’t a flame or anything, I was just getting stuff off my chest. Fenris ---

It’s been awhile since I posted - but dammit - there are a few (well, a couple of) posters who I wish would just get the fuck over themselves. The rest of us have. Opal, Techchick - any **TAKERS?** Yeah that was bitchy, yeah that was petty. So the fuck what. Pepper, Falcon, and the others (you know who you are) - you ROCK. And thanks for saying it better than I could have. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TwistofFate \* > \*\*wow. I didnt know that “Waiting for Godot” starred a Pot and a kettle. \*\* **Twisty** , that gave me my first laugh of this entire sorry-assed thread. Here, lemme yank on my hip-waders, I have something to add. I’m going to do the unspeakable and agree **PARTIALLY** with something in the O.P. The idea that someone would post a similiarly themed thread is pretty much inevitable. Yeah, if I start a thread in **G.Q.** entitled, " What was the first episode of **Star Trek** to air on television?"- I would expect some medium-to-well-done ass flaming. A specific question with a single line answer that ( I assume ) has been done before. I chose that query out of thin air, I’ve no clue if it’s been asked and could give a rat’s ass what the answer is. My point is that it’s kind of hard to slam any member for posting a thread of similar THEME, or a tangent of another thread- especially an old thread. I’m sorry, but while I surely try to live by the rules here and would do a search of some serious effort in the archives before posting a new thread somewhere, you have to believe that some people are going to post similiarly-themed threads without being malicious/irresponsible about it. I’m not siding with either one of you, I’m just pointing out that eventually the same idea does float across the board. If it’s not a purely factual query, odds are it may become a wonderful layered thread in a way that the OLD thread of similar themes didn’t. Isn’t that a good reason to allow people to post without exhausting every single possible connection to any thread ever posted on SDMB? My two cents. Have a lovely day 🙂 Cartooniverse ---

You obviously didn’t read my explanation very well, **Cartooniverse**. But to make it clear: the OP posting a thread that had already been done was **not** the problem. It was the subsequent bickering that didn’t belong in MPSIMS. Are our rules _that_ hard? ---
