Well there ya' go......Just like I said, "Art Thieme, whatever he is," and as you can see, there ain't no tellin' what he is......and damn little seein' for that matter.....Not that you'd want to of course.............ya' know?

AND NOW,ZIZ......You said:

"......I'm wondering why it is that those who are opposed to an analytical discussion of the ways that Mudcat posters in general interact on the public forum wouldn't just disregard this thread and leave it to those who were/are serious about such a discussion. I'm curious why folks would do this."
Okay......Why? Because I can. I make fun of, joke about, ridicule, whatever, damn near everything just for the hell of it. I do this in 3D as well. In 3D you can better show the actual tone and intent and for awhile around here you could do the same. At first everyone misunderstood, then we all got to know each other pretty well and knew the nuances. Except for gnu who never knew. That time though was pretty short as the growth made it next to impossible to communicate the real thing. So at times it seems cliquish with insider jokes but again let me ask.....Why does this affect the other discussion? You say I should disregard the thread.....Why not just disregard me? Many happily do!!!(;<))

"Regardless of the reasons why posters decided to railroad this subject, to paraphrase Becky's comment, the way this thread has developed shows how some folks communicate when they don't like what some other folks want to talk about."
Long ago there was an understanding that the Music threads were to be left alone and those of us around then agreed to it. The Bull Shit on the other hand was wide open.......post whatever but don't bitch about it and don't dis The 'Cat which provides the Litter Box. Its BS.....just BS.....period. This is still first a Music Site......the BS is Bull Shit!

"I think that's too bad {with "bad" here meaning "not good"}."
Sorry you feel that way ....... I don't though ....... We disagree....I still like you and hope you like me. But the joint is what it is.
