What were you THINKING?

I agree with leaving the thread title alone. I think it captures the intent of the thread nicely.

And with a fourth vote to leave the thread title exactly as it is (with “THINKING” capitalized for emphasis) I think we should consider the issue closed!
:slight_smile:

I think you should change it to something having to do with begonias. Like ‘begonias I have known’ or ‘begonias:history and myth.’ 85 posts on that topic will attract curious looky-loos wondering why so many people are obsessed with begonias. Then - profit. Maybe.

I’m not bothered with sidetracks in this thread, although this last one did go a bit long and then veered partway into something else again. I just take it to mean that there haven’t been any offenders worth mentioning in the thread, which is a good thing.

But we wouldn’t get to read any messageboard drama. Isn’t that why we’re here?

I thought we were here for the free arguments and gratuitous insults!

No, we’re not, asshole. :wink:

Come on, I already moved a 65 post hijack out of this thread today.
Can you keep your off-topic silliness to other threads without any real purpose.

This thread loses a lot of value when more off-topic posts are made than on-topic.

I’m of mixed mind about the title. The regular users of the thread are used to it. But we do get lost drive-bys from time to time.

If we are of a mind to change it, I propose:
“What were you THINKING? {When good posters break bad}”

EXCELLENT observation. One of my pet peeves for sure!

I propose that when somebody does post to this thread and it’s evident they didn’t read the OP, we regulars roundly excoriate them with a chorus of

Didn’t read the OP, eh? What were you THINKING?

That’ll learn 'em.

Shame. I liked him :grin:

I’m really hoping @The_Librarian can refrain from attacking people outside of the pit. A suspension doesn’t have to lead to a ban. We have examples of that.

I’m hoping so also. They’re not somebody I want to lose.
