Say hi to Lazs over at the Flamers. Been a while since he posted here. :)

Thought flamers were everywhere on the internet, like electrons. Do they have a specific address? :devil
-
lol, will do.

Come on over and say hi to him yourself. :D

Sorry, TxMom, Lazs said he's too busy between fighting with his seatbelt and shopping at Walmart to say 'hi'.
:D

You should come on back. You'd like it better now.

Yeah all the porn is tucked away in its own section now. :lol

And for some strange reason, there are more posts going into the love your pets section :O
-
That's because all the gun-totin' republican hard-liners are actually soft-as-chite ghey boys!
:lol :aok

Yeah. That's because everyone loves my Rottie, Gretchen. You have to really admire an 11 year old Rottie that has emergency surgery to have her spleen removed and is up walking and eating an hour later. I've had some great dogs, but Gretchen is the most loyal and affectionate I've ever known, and that's saying something.

Nope. We just admire incredible loyalty. And nothing is so loyal as a great dog. :cool:

Actually, I have to admit the flamer experiment has gone far smoother than I ever thought possible, except for one small infraction that was remmedied by Nuke very well.
-
That's cause you're part of the Fluffly Bunnies usergroup that gets the PG censored puppies and sunshine version of the forum. FYI
-
LOL and TxMom sez the hotwings at H00TERS are the worst she ever had...
TxMom we don't go to H00TERS for the hot wings.
*tips hat* Hiya Mom

Yes After the initial rush of freedom exploration. folks seem to have mellowed considerably and apart from some of the language used. Most of the threads I've seen there lately for the most part would even survive this place. (prior to its castration)

Poor thing. Is your poutine out of season or just out of place?

:rofl poutine...

I was wondering when that would tone down.

It had to. human nature.
Friend of mine when I was in my early 20's once worked at an Ice cream joint. The employees were allowed to eat all the ice cream they wanted.
Within a couple of months he was sick of eating ice cream.
Candy has always been readily available at my house. Never stopped my kids from eating it.
Now, neither one of them are big candy eaters and candy usually goes stale before all of it gets eaten.
Which is a pretty neat trick considering the shelf life of some of the candies that are out there.

I don't think so. The posters simply have something to lose, now, and a lot seem to simply have run out of arguments and/or will to upset status quo. Good flaming isn't something you just lose taste for.

Such as?

m00t, I put your line there in my signature yesterday. I'll put it back in there later.
I gotta admit, I do miss being over there a little bit; but it probably makes me a nicer person not to have an outlet for using the F-Bomb every three words. *grin*

Nah. I just don't drop a 4 letter bomb in speech or type much anymore, even though I can in many places. But it doesn't make me a bit nicer.

which line?

It's not disagreement. I have MT, Airhead, Sandman... RPM (who I dont think I could stand for very long IRL) and a lot of others (well, anyone with brains basicaly) not ignored. I have anyone who repeats the same freakin thing over and over, or whose posts I can bet are a waste of space 95% of the time. e.g. MG42 is ignored too, but every now and then I unignore to see if he has something interesting to add, something cogent or insightful, which is what you never have to add. So yep, you're in the same bin as Beetle, the "never worth it" bin. It's not that I dislike you (tho I reckon I would), you're just a waste of my time. I'm not saying everyone ought to think so, just that my reading is better off without your vacuous contribution. Idem Weazel.
You're neither hot nor cold, just lukewarm and tasteless. You don't fuel converstation, you're a catalyst for stagnation. Reading these forums is what I do to let my mind somehow work out the important or difficult stuff (work etc) in the background while I read stuff that, even if it's very meaningful or complex (religion etc), I don't have too much or even any stake in. I'm not going to waste that time on junk text.
Such as?
Some kind of cred or safe stability.. I don't know exactly. People don't like upsets and constant flux. They like to settle down.. What is a 2 day old joint worth, versus a 2 year old place where you've been having conversations and have built a kind of history? You wouldn't mind anything in the former, but the latter has value not worth risking over some flames. "something to lose".

Hiyas Mom it has pretty much mellowed out.
Think you'd like it now.....
Come on back and see.........

Some of the stuff I post may be off the wall at times, but I still try to inject a little bit of truth in every post (most of the time). It may not be explicit, but it is there. Most of the time it's a reaction to the society we live in.

You're a self-admitted troll. Trolls NEVER add anything of substance since their whole intent is to enflame. If you do on occasion add something of substance it is lost in the sea of BS.

No I'm not a troll. I am a self admitted quirky person. I approach things from a different point of view than most of you. I hate the status-quo and try to work around it. That's the way I've always been. I like to have fun.
It's so LAME that most here are so uptight and take life on this BBS way too seriously. This should be an escape from reality and stresses of daily life. It's a place where imagination can run wild. This is not real life, therefore why even treat it like it is? It's the internet for god's sake. Anyone can be anything here. That is how I view this game and this forum.

Yep... and you choice was to be a trolling nupty. Well done... Bravo. :rolleyes:

The Beauty of the FW is the fact I can get into the same type of arguements/debates with the same people there as I used to here.
The history is already in place. For me its really just an extension of this place. Just in a different tab.
The only real difference is the rules, or lack thereof as the case may be.
I dont think having anything to loose has anything to do with it.
I think people ran amuk for a while because they could. Like a kid set loose in a candy store. After a while the candy looses its appeal and instead of constantly gorging himself. He just has a piece here and there.
I think the fact that there isnt anything to loose by running amuk makes it loose it appeal and causes folks to settle down.
Its like the forbidden fruit here. Therefore because they have something to loose. they have to push the limits to walk the line and see just how far they can go. Once the forbidden fruit is no longer forbidden. It looses its appeal.
Either way. post here, post there. It doesnt matter to me. Either is just a tab click away. And I find folks no more or less thought provoking, entertaining or annoying there then I found or find them here.
the only real difference between FW and The O'club now is the subject matter I talk about. And in some cases. not even that.
So for me I've lost nothing.
If anything lost. It been the O'club itself. It lost alot of the flavor that made it great.
But the powers that be want a more bland place to be. kinda like mashed potatoes without any toppings.
But thats the way they want it and I respect them enough to respect that wish.
And hey. Even mashed potatoes without topping isnt too bad once in a while.

Ok, so it's a big complexion but it still starts with "something to lose" :) The candy analogy is nice but the truth is that people run out of funny things to do or say or trick others into saying, and so they're stuck with making good points. At that point it's back to square one and your ability to hold a conversation is directly related to how credible (or how interesting) what you're expected to say is. At the very extreme end of this, you get ignored.
Fruit and candy analogy breaks down because forums like fw aren't about someone taking something but about people bringing something. The forum is a blank canvas, not a horn of plenty to get stuffed with.
