These Ramblin Shamblin threads are like Town Hall Meetings ... kinda interesting and totally lacking in content.

No - More like Viet Nam and Iraq. Everyone says they've won the moral victory. And there's no clear exit stategy.

I've always felt it's more like debating the Law of Gravity - which one party insists is subject to legislation because it's a "law".

Well, if we repeal the Law of Gravity, then we can rise above it all.

That means the BS section would rise up to be equal to the 'non-BS section' ... I don't think we would want this rabble to be parallel to the non-BS .. or would we?

Dunno, Roger. As I see it, I sometimes disagree with people, but I'm not combative. It's the combative stuff that causes trouble at Mudcat. and I do believe that needs to be controlled.
Joe Offer,

Shambles, go whine somewhere else, or maybe we should start threads about you and the sheep or something.

But Shambles believes in this sort of thing, so I think that maybe this would be a good opportunity to smear his reputation. Shambles, I'm sick of you and your shit
Joe Offer.

Ah, Shambles - we make an exception for you, since you seem to think it's a good thing to have personal attacks. We want to keep you happy, after all. Your whining is so annoying.
Joe Offer
------
Yes, I think you may well be first on the list, my friend. It's time for you either to shut up, or to use a name and take responsibility for what you have to say. If you continue to refuse to use a name, you will be come a non-person around here, and every single message you post will be deleted.
Free speech is fine, but you're just a pain in the ass.
-Joe Offer-

Joe I know that you do not consider that such posts are combative.
I know that you do not consider that such posts are setting an example that other posters will think acceptable and follow.

However, I suggest the evidence speaks for itself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This forum has ALWAYS had rules, and posters have ALWAYS been expected to follow those rules.

The main one that I have always followed - but which some of our posters have never have or seemingly have never been expected to follow - is that posts containing abusive personal attacks are not acceptable. But given the example set in practice by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team, (some) other 'moderators' and their few but noisy supporters - perhaps we should not be too surprised?

These are my fellow posters - who despite such conduct really feel themselves qualified (some anonymously) to impose their judgement on my contributions, have some right to question my conduct or expect me to leave..............

I think not.

Oops...

Yet still Shambles, you continue to act like an asshole.... and then try to cry 'victim' when the whole world calls you an asshole.... Then you claim that you're not getting a fair shake when people call BULLSHIT and tell you you're not a victim.....   You don't LIKE what goes on at Mudcat? YOU make it go on....

Holy crap on a cracker..... At least Martin Gibson KNEW he was an asshole.... and he wasn't a suck about it

Sham's "Fun Quotient" as far as egging him on goes can be extremely low. So low in fact that he's insulted at compliments! No shit!

A couple of times he has taken me to task for "involving his family." The reality was that I had actually said something to the effect that his wife must be a saint or a great woman or something like that to tolerate him if he acts this way around home as well as Mudcat. Anyone as shallow as Shambolina is just too damn easy a target......but I agree, a whole lot of fun!

So.....................

Did you see that Sham's wife posted on the thread regarding "Are Women's Asses Getting Larger?" saying that in her case she HAD noticed that Sham had gained a lot weight.....so she had to say "Yes."

Jeri says,

...Conditions at Mudcat are becoming such that Max is going to have to find a way to limit trolling...

Funny isn't it, THIS WHOLE THREAD is a troll and for some reason Shambles is getting all the flack. If the usual suspects all hadn't come along for the ride, the thread would have died out long ago.

So admit it, you all love Shambles, for without him to pick on you would all be sitting around all day scratching your arses with nothing else to do.

I think it would be a good idea to have a TROLL section like the BS section, then everyone else could leave you all alone in your own little heaven.

Oh, Bertdarlin'...hardly that! If we can get rid of stupid threads like this, we might get folks to focus on the more creative side, as we used to...*sigh* one can only hope.

OK, this has gone on long enough. By popular request, this thread is closed. It's getting nasty, and "Nasty" is indeed suitable grounds for thread closure.
