Gun thread must die!

I've tried my best to kill it. I failed. Or at least bung it in the political ramblings forum or nothingland. But it's just name-calling circles now. not exactly the first thing you want newbs to come across. Well jmho anyway.

Sometimes people need to argue - what's so wrong about that? It's cathartic. If you don't like it.. blah blah blah...

I'm not trying to be shitty to you specifically monster, but sometimes the argument is interesting. What is never interesting is all the people chiming in to say stop it and tell everyone how immature they are.

Let 'em go at it I reckon.

I skim read them or dont bother at all...its that simple.

If newbies read them and judge the whole of the cellar on those kinda threads, they arent going to want to hang around long anyways.

Any forum worth a pinch of shit has volatile topic threads, I like them because it shows different sides of the *characters* I have come to know and love

its more of a whole picture.

Damn Brits and their censorship.

I'm kidding, Monster.
Hey, I don't complain about the fru fru threads.

Aliantha · 05-27-2007, 08:29 PM

You'll be pleased to know there's been a significant thread drift today.

I'm sure it'll be back on topic before long though.

monster · 05-27-2007, 08:35 PM

Fair enough.

bluecuracao · 05-27-2007, 08:59 PM

Sorry monster, I screwed up your efforts by being the next person to post. If I hadn't, then UG would've been the bottom burper. LOL

Just don't go in there. You are not the only one in here.

monster · 05-27-2007, 10:30 PM

thanks, rkz.

I don't understand this trend, bitching about other's threads. This, people whining about Cloud's threads & being real assholes about it, mine and others... so what, really, are we supposed to care what you think?
What is the point?

bluecuracao · 05-27-2007, 11:19 PM

That was some helpful advice, there.

(just poking fun, rkz)

I think it is excellent advice, don't like it, don't go in the thread... it is very simple.

People are always going into threads an leaving stupid comments like, In The Coffee Thread... "I don't drink coffee". It takes a real genius to do that. A real contribution.

Aliantha · 05-27-2007, 11:21 PM

I think we should all just stop posting new threads. That should solve the problem.

Ibby · 05-27-2007, 11:29 PM

My only question is, what is it about guns that make perfectly reasonable people into complete ASSholes?

A lot of us do similar--including you and me. Jeez, not everything has to be a genius contribution. The Cellar would become The Graveyard.
