Despite what seemed like major problems back then, it was still possible to have a BS discussion that was mostly fun and respectful. Not these days. I've read Jim Carroll call this a "debate forum" twice. Well no, it's not, but when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The fundamental problem I have is that people don't seem to care about Mudcat or the people here enough to modify their behavior. Never NOT say something if you can. I can't do anything about it, though. Just post when I'm inspired and piss off when the oblivious, egomaniacal flamers start humping the thread to death.

Or maybe that's being vituperative. I hope my snowdrops will be warm beneath the major poop-load of snow we're gonna get tomorrow. Snowdrops = hope.
