How anyone can imagine that jokes about William Shatner could harm a forum or its participants is beyond me. The beloved Catspaw49 (otherwise known as Spaw) has perpetrated much similar humour on this forum, but not so much lately because he is stuck with a slow computer. How do Shatner and the WSSBA differ substantially from the NYCFFTS, Paw & Cletus, the Reg Boys, Cleigh O'Possum, the Little Pissant, voting for Millard Fillmore, and various other silly running jokes that Spaw put on this forum...all of which drew their own audience of adherents who laughed along with the joke...while some others didn't.

I am a folkie. So are numerous other people here to whom I assume you are objecting when they don't meet your expectations.

However, I don't think you've said nearly enough, Treehouse. No, not nearly enough. I would welcome a 5,000 word post from you to further explain your position. Even a 15,000 word post. Tell us more, by all means! Get it ALL off your chest. It'll keep you off the streets for awhile, I figure.
