Why do "we" need to be "schooled" on using a message board?
i have been a little too busy to mess around with this whole AG invasion pissing match, but this quote from Flint sticks out a bit. i think there is a very basic misunderstanding here. Flint (along with some others) has lost a place to go and post in the way that he is used to posting. he (or she - i haven't paid much attention) stumbled into the cellar and saw all the meaningless BS we talk about here and assumed that the cellar might be a good fit for his posting style/desires.

Here is the real rub - we cellarites, in general, don't see the cellar as a message board. It is a community. Many of the people know each other IRL. although folks from all walks of life are welcomed (car guys, computer geeks, trannies, blue collar, white collar, addicts, and egomaniacs abound) we generally have something in common - a desire to hold somewhat intelligent conversations with a group of people that combined have a tremendous amount of knowledge. as is true of all groups of friends - we spend a lot of time talking about stupid pointless crap that makes us smile or laugh. but we laugh at many things because we "know" the person sharing the message.

if i just wanted random snippets of meaningless drivel in bitesize morsels i'd go to the local sportsbar and listen to the banter. i'd prefer not to see thread after thread started for no apparent reason. it makes it harder to find the gems when i am sifting through the BS (like this thread).

just my take on things. Flint - if you want to be a part of the cellar then Welcome. pull up a chair and join in - please just don't shit on the carpets. Tony just got them cleaned.

I think YOUR threads are BS!





(see... if I don't add a note that the above is just a joke, some of you may think I'm instigating here. actually what I'm doing is a little third grade humor: "You're a jerk?" "Oh yeah? Well I think you're a jerk!" "No, you are!" "No, you!" If he can say this thread is BS, than I can say his threads are BS... and of course not even mean it. Which makes the whole thing funny... to me. Although now I've ruined it by explaining.)
