Trust me, no you wouldn't.

How dare you suggest Bill Summertard is a softy who would not be able to keep you animals under control.

How many “softy” conversations are we going to have?

It must be exhausting.

Bill Falltard (note the seasonal play on words theme I am deploying) ponders ...

At this point you two are boyfriends....

Bill is a strange one but I tend to like people that dont take themself too seriously. I'm 100% the opposite, or use to be. The last few years Ive meddled out a lot. When you become boss at 17.5 years old and been boss everyday since, kind of set me up to be and take things serious. Not shite like this board but life.

Thank you, my good man.

Oh my, bill and I are boyfriends.

No offense, BTF, but if the straight, strappin' and stallion-esque Bill Springtard were going to transition to gay or bisexual ... he would prefer a man with this appearance:

What have I told you about posting my pic on the interwebs?

I wonder what the over & under will be for how many votes will be cast in this Poll.

If I had to guess, it won't be more than what's voted. I'm sure there'll be a recount.. Someone will want to eliminate the Electoral College... Minorities were suppressed... Someone's gonna claim we gotta wait for the mail in ballots...

Bill Man-Soft chuckles.

A lot of this could be solved by rational people. Not the people that are here to argue for the sake of arguing.

Before I reply to someone, I look at the user and ask myself is this someone who actually wants to engage in a discussion on the topic or are they militant in their belief on the topic? If it's the latter, it's not worth even engaging in the conversation. Most of us have been around here long enough to know the topics that are going to bring the zealots out, just don't engage and it doesn't become a poo slinging fest.

Some how I dont believe you actually took the time to click the link....

FWIW, I post here mainly to release steam. I do not expect to convert the Dems into patriots and rational people, nor shame them into rectitude.

Exactly. If posters would mind their manners a little better (put people on ignore if you can't get along with them, it's not weakness), and the Mods would practice a little more patience when posters occasionally forget, we wouldn't even need this discussion.

And yes I know I've been as guilty as most anyone at times, but I've also gotten more than a few unjust warnings. I never argue, I just wait till they expire. *shrug*

Not questioning the moderation, just making a point.

And just in case you Mod people haven't realized, I'm really pizzed about TB4E being banned. He's far and away one of the best posters on here.

Wait, what?

TB4E has been banned?

FFS he’s easily one of most honest, mild mannered and level headed guy around these parts.

I’d hate to see this board being shut down, I really would.

But if TB4E has crossed a line of some sort that got him banned? What are we even talking about?
