I see no difference whatsoever between the Mother of All BS sorts of threads and the Rubbish/Shite threads and the many variations of the Mudcat popularity contest threads (birthday threads, prayer and hug threads, etc). They are all of the same ilk. I've never even opened the Mother thread, so that in itself ought to tell you something about where I spend my time in this forum, which is in both music and BS sections, but not in the threads of those ilk.

Now, if the posters to those threads would behave properly in the non-mindless drivel threads I regularly participate in, there would be no cause to bitch slap them when they get out of hand. But they all got a good virtual bitch slap coming to them, and I'm happy to give it.

Treehouse, you've missed a lot of far-reaching good natured imaginative fun by not reading the MOAB. It is a bit of a job to catch up, but if you go back a few hundred posts that should be enough to take the measure of the site.

Little Hawk, if we count all of the Shatner posts, you aren't exactly a stranger there yourself. This appears to be the MOAB pot calling the MOAB kettle black.
