I’m pretty shocked.
Okay, I’m a little shocked.
Would you settle for not shocked but quite amused?
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused.
uber goober. brickabracka. Heh.
oh, I’m very amused by it - they are truly ‘fine representatives’ of the ‘truth’ - and to think I apologised for assuming he was a JW with his ‘defense’ of dougie_monty.
I am always ready to end something peacefully. I regret that the circumstances could not have been better. Perhaps sometime in the future.
And goo-goo-g’joob to you too. 
Need some more coffee?
Don’t give anyone any user name ideas! :eek:
Making fun of the departed isn’t kind.
You know what? Upon further review, I misread who was being made fun of.
Thread reopened.
nm - the comment was funnier in my head then it was in reading.
So you mean we can get back to bashing the OP???
Glad this thread was re-opened so I could say “huh?”.
I imagine TB is confused by your phrase “thrown the first shot”. s/thrown/fired/ or s/shot/stone would make more sense.
You don’t think the thread had become anemic?
Oh fuck yeah!
Absolutely would’ve. I blame… yeah, lack of coffee works. 
Original statement from moderator announcing closing:
<<Making fun of the departed isn’t kind.>>
So, Mr. Moderator, color me clueless, but, if I may, I would like to know, please:
-
Who was alleged to have made fun of the departed?
-
Who was the departed involved?
-
On what basis was your decision changed?
Thanks very much.
