I don't expect the stupid threads to disappear. I also don't expect stupid, dull witted posters to disappear. I accept that the stupid and dull witted rule this forum, as is demonstrated by the sheer numbers of their posts, and their dogged determiniation to remain in power here.

But that isn't all there has ever been at Mudcat, nor is it all that this forum could be, if anyone decided to police themselves, and control their "on a whim" posting behavior.

Let's just be very clear about that.

I could care less about the so-called humorous threads. Not my brand of humor, although I do accept that it is just that sort of humor which dominates the forum. It is quite rare to see any decent, intelligent humor around here, just like in the 3D world.

I'm fed up with rude and obnoxious members (and we all know very well who they are), interrupting decent conversations with pathetic attempts to be funny and get noticed by the people they obviously want to get noticed by--but don't because the people they want attention from generally don't post to the moronic threads.

It is that simple. I am complaining about rude and obnoxious members who keep interrputing otherwise decent conversations, just to get attention. I understand they, like all immature adults who engage in these sorts of behaviors to get people to notice them, interrupt these conversations in such grossly inappropriate ways because: 1) they don't have the required social skills to get noticed any other ways, and; 2) they are out of their league in terms of knowing the subject matter being discussed.

Yes, I ignore them when they do it. I only started this thread, because so many other members whom I consider to be well mannered, good natured, and to have a decent, intelligent sense of humor, are bitching about how pathetic the forum has been of late too.

They will likely remain polite (and be leaving these parts for greener online forum pastures soon because of the insistence of everyone here that this is the way Mudcat MUST be) because they are invested in relationships with a few people here. I, on the other hand, believe that more can be gained by making my displeasure known, than by being polite. Which is purely a style difference, because we are in agreement the way the forum has been going this summer, has made for a piss poor Mudcat experience for us.

But not, of course, for the morons. They have been truly enjoying themselves here of late. There is no doubt about that, just like there is no doubt in my mind that complaining about the moronic Mudcat majority here in the forum with any expectation that it will change anyone's behavior, would be as productive as shouting into a hurricane.

That doesn't change the fact that I'm getting a tremendous amount of satisfaction bitch slapping those of you who so blood well deserve it, though.

Thanks for your cooperation.
