Do your fingers twitch when you get to the end of a thread?

Do feel your eyes glaze over, your brain go on Auto, while reading a thread, thinking of what you will say at the end?

CAN you read a thread all the way through and NOT post to it?

If you answered YES to the first two quetions and NO to the last, you may be suffering from Compulsive Posting Disorder.

If you enter into a Contract for Treatment at the Compulsive Posting Disorder Clinic* or CPDC, you will learn to

1) THINK before posting a reply;

2) ask yourself, if what you are about to post is really necessary;

3) determine if a thread is even worthy of any comment.

Mental health can be yours! Just take your hand off the mouse, look at your telephone dialing pad, and reach out to CPDC.

With ONE PHONE CALL, you can be on your way to HEALTHY posting. Just dial 1-555-2723, that's 1-555-CPDC.

Help is just a phone call away!

Hey! I called and they helped me! saved me from a long stay at the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead, call the good phoaks at CPDC, today!

Kat, I can safely say I am not guilty because I have been absent for some time. But I am worried by the spirit of censoriousness you display. I have seen this in the mudcat before - remember the thread "Has Gargoyle got piles"? Probably all of us post when it is not necessary. But what is necessary? Is any of what we do here (on this site) necessary? Would imposing too rigid a test lessen this forum? I suspect so. Tonight I can sit and post (a funny way to wait for the millennium, if it is the millennium) because my wife went into hospital earlier today so she can't stop me. So this reading and posting is helpful to me. Would you censor or disalow that because what I asy may not be necessary?

Or, perhaps, has someone else got up your nose? If so, why not spit it out? (check for correct colloquial meaning before replying to the sexual innuendo which is not the required meaning in context).

Have a good next thousand years.

Dear Richard,

Just a couple of comments about your post (hope you come back more often!):

1) I do believe that Kat is just trying to be funny; especially since she is one of the more vehement supporters of free speech on this forum and always has been;

2) I've been sitting here, trying to contemplate HOW someone would spit out of their nose -- and I've been sitting here trying to figure out WHAT sexual innuendo you were attempting -- I can't figure it out, however. Illumination on my quandry would be appreciated . . . because I'm burning brain cells imagining all KINDS of things . . .

Hey Kat - is that the place that delivers Guiness with your pizza? Make mine mushrooms and sausage, and please, guys, snot's not funny, just gross! Maybe I'm just too innocent for my own good, 'cause I didn't see any sexual innuendo in Richard's post, even though he suggested there was one.

Ah, Áine, you've got it right, 'twas meant to be a tongue-in-cheek bit of sarcasm.

Richard, I am sorry to hear about your wife, but it is nice to see you on here and Áine is correct in saying I am a staunch supporter of Mudder's right to be free wiht their mouths, other than GG, who, IMO, should really follow the advice above.

As for anyone getting up my nose, well....that is NOT the preferred orifice, but yes, I've had my back up a wee. The labourious and unending back and forth on thread content and certain peoples' obvious displeasure at my being here and being vocal has pissed me off to the point I am thinking of usurping the Curmudgeon for the Day title, for the whole next year.

I have come here and been myself, which is the only way I know to be. I won't say I am sorry about that. I followed-the-leader, when I came here a year ago, and played nice, before sticking my neck out and letting some of my views and personal experiences be known. Based on the positive reactions to that, I continued. Now people are pissed off about religion and philsophy being here, amongst the music, and I do NOT want THIS thread to turn into one more endless bunch of crap about to BS or not to BS, so I'll just say that I am pissed off, too.

I wouldn't stop unless the whole lot told me I wasn't wanted and to fuck off, so you're all stuck with me anyway. Too bad, huh, Gargoyle? Just can't get rid of me.

Maybe I should have named this the Rant & Rave thread, but I really do seriously think some people should really think before they post some of the things they do.

Thanks for listening and frankly, I don't care how they did it way back when. This is now and nobody will stop anyone from going Back to the Future of Threads for some good ole' reads.

Aine,Kat

Yes, I used to be here quite a bit. Likewise my friend Legal Eagle. But he is I think gone for good. Time.........!

I wanted to understand why it was necessary to remind people not to post. Do we not mostly (with some exceptions) learn or potentially learn from postings? (off to the Bobby Sands thread next - an exception to the rule). If people post unwisely they will be pilloried or worse ignored. Why restrict them?

As for GG - I still want to know what drives him. Some of his stuff is helpful and intelligent - some just nasty (but enough about marriage). I was upset when people jumped on the "piles" thread.

Date: 31 Dec 99 - 06:49 PM

Richard, I do remember you being on here and also Legal Eagle; you've both been missed. Please understand:

The first posting to this thread, WAS A JOKE! (And, I meant the last bit to be in small print,went the wrong way wiht html code.)

I do NOT believe people should be censored. I DO believe people who post deliberately vicious, personal, thoughtless and hurtful crap (see GG's post on the Suicidal Friend thread) should think twice, even three or four times, before hitting the submit button.

As for GG, I am with Mick, his redeeming qualities are far surpassed by his mean and vicious bullshit.

I really don't get it.

I remember a thread not too long ago started by a person who chronicled details of her middle-of-the-night visit to the bathroom. And now we are being concerned about the appropriateness of thread context?

I am not one to add to threads compulsively. But I do get my hackles up when anyone tries to regulate anyone's posting behavior other than their own. I guess I just don't get it.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN CENSORSHIP I was only saying I believe it is a person's responsibility to think before posting something which may be personal, vicious, and hurtful.

Sorry for the caps, but I did say before that I was just poking fun. The ones who've been bytching about thread content, usually point to me or Spaw, as those who post so much that they consider fluff! I am just getting in their face for it!

Hope this helps to clarify things.
