*Sung to the tune of David Alan Coe
"You Never Call Me By My Name*


WELL, IT WAS ALL
THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM POSTIN’
SOMETIMES IT SEEMED SO USELESS AND INSANE
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME POST potato, POST potato
YOU NEVER EVEN REPLY TO MY SHADE

YOU DON’T HAVE TO PM ME LIBRUL MEANINGS
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO PM ME TO YER SIDE
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO PM ME TROLL/ANYMORE
TIME WILL LET THIS OLD THREAD SLIDE

CHORUS:

AND I’LL POST AS MUCH AS SKUZZ WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER LIKED BEING PNG'D
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME POST potato, POST potato
YOU NEVER EVEN REPLY TO MY SHADE

WELL, I’VE SEEN MY SHADE
A FEW TIMES IN YOUR IGNORE BOX (Hello, Hello)
AND I’VE SEEN IT ON LOCKED THREADS THAT I’VE PLAYED
BUT THE ONLY TIME I KNOW
I’LL HEAR "YER JUST A POST HO"
IS WHEN SKUZZY HAS HIS FINAL JUDGMENT SAY

REPEAT CHORUS

RECITATION:

WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED KARAYA STARTED A THREAD
AND HE PM'D ME IT WAS THE PERFECT THREAD TO GO ALL WRONG
I PM'D HIM BACK A BIT AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT THREAD GONE WRONG
BECAUSE IT HADN’T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT ANYONES MAMA,
OR BUSH,
OR GUNS,
OR EUROS,
OR POSTIN’ DRUNK

WELL HE LAFfluffied AT ME AND WROTE A REPLY ABOUT THE THREAD
AND HE PM'D IT TO ME,
AND AFTER READING IT,
I REALIZED THAT KARAYA HAD PM'D THE PERFECT
THREAD TO GO WRONG
AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT IN THIS POST
THE LAST PM WENT LIKE THIS HERE:

WELL, BUSH WAS DRUNK THE DAY BRITAIN JOINED US
AND WITH GUNS WE HUNTED DOWN OL HUSSIEN
BUT BEFORE WE COULD GET ALL THE OIL WELLS SUCKED UP DRY
THE WHOLE DAM WORLD JUST WENT INSANE

CHORUS:

AND I’LL POST AS MUCH AS SKUZZ WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER LIKED BEING PNG'D
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME POST potato, POST potato
YOU NEVER EVEN REPLY TO MY SHADE
WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON’T CALL ME
WHY DON’T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME

At least your mind is all over the place and not just focused on any one thing.

One reason I'd like the ability to block individuals, and yea even whole threads, is that certain people in here post with deliberatly inflammatory intent.  That's ok sometimes, but the problem is that occasionally I actually respond to these people because what they post bugs me that badly.  They participate in discussions that are otherwise intelligent, but their inputs are intentionally irritating or distracting and they either shut down the discussion or divert it into flames against themselves.  They do it on purpose, but they are usually careful to not break forum rules.  Plus I wouldn't necessarily want them banned 'cause, you know, pot, kettle, etc.  But it would dramatically increase the signal/noise ratio if I could block a handful of people.  It would help me stay on topic as well.


Why thank you, Eagl...It's not easy being a troll, ya know...everyone hates you, nobody takes you seriously...You have no idea how many times I've wanted to just quit, but posts like yours lift my spirits and give me the strength to troll onward. Just...thank you, man. (sniff)

eagl...you forgot someone denouncing the idea as evil, because it is mildly communist.

Followed shortly by one or two ardent defenders of communism posting about how good it was in the good old days in Soviet Russia?
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

I don't wanna step on anyone's toes but ya know it is possible to ignore a thread without a "v chip". Might even build a little character to exercise some discipline in just not revisiting a particular thread that gets yer dander up. No offense intended.

<edit>

Oh yeah, those cold war days were the poop. Everyone knew who the bad guys and good guys were.   ;)
