So. Who do we have to submit our posts to now for approval prior to actually posting them?

How about you say to yourself "I am an intelligent, interesting person. Does what I am about to post contribute to or at least show appreciation for this thread, or is it vapid drivel more appropriately placed at TCC?" and we all take it from there.

I don't know about everyone else, but the reason I like this board is because when I arrived it was full of intelligent, interesting conversation. Seeing those conversations derailed with inanity is worse than the flame wars that occasionally erupt, in my opinion. Flame wars can be fun. Vapid inanity is only fun for the vapidly inane.

Or, I could just continue being me and letting those who are offended by it get the fuck over themselves.

The only reason I'm butthurt is because I don't think I cooked that chicken long enough.


Oh, and all the pegging.

I think the lame flirting and boasting about perversions is probably just as annoying as the puns.  But anyways...

You know what? I TOTALLY AGREE. In fact, I think a tantrum or two was thrown about that last month, and it has been publicly shamed into scaling back a bit, THANK FUCKING FUCK.

No one can be expected to maintain a high quality signal all the time. When I think I have some good things to say, I am quick to say them. Since I have been here Apple Talk has always been this way, so as far as I can see it's not going to change anytime soon.

Oh, totally. Fluff happens, and that's fine. But injecting fluff into threads with actual content is bullshit.

It actually used to be a lot worse.  I am also glad it has toned down.  Unless someone wants to flirt with me, in which case... giddy up.

Even my NICE moments - rare as they are - are badwrong.  Why, just last week, I was greeting some Mormons at my doorstep, on my best behavior, and they walked away mid-sentence.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I want to come film this.

Oh? Since when have you thought it was cool to derail content threads with inane stupidity? That's a new one on me.

Nigel, you just made 2011 for me... this is incredible.  I especially like that the song had nothing to say about Saskatchewan, so it just named the province and moved on.

It's not that YOU made one bad pun in one thread.

It's that it's become a trend. One that has hopefully stopped now.

You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable

Yeah... I wouldn't pun it if I had a better feel for the humor climate.  My forum reading's been dropping off lately, normally I have a better idea of what's tired.  Anyway I apologize.
