BS: Tom Ridge Infiltrates Mudcat

Well, danged! Last night we were have a rather civil talk about welfare in the US and then.... poof! We weren't! In the past when threads have been shut down, I can at least access the thread up until it's being closed. No more. Seems Tom Ridge, or someone, has brought *new and improved* methods of keeping the discussions *mainstream*...

There goes the neighborhood...

(How long do you think this thread will be around, Bobert?)

Nevermind...

It's still here, Bobert, just fell off the list. It's not even been closed.:-) Don't forget, sometimes you have to set the age filter back a bit to refresh threads which have not had any recent postings.

Bobert, Stop fooling around and get on over to the thread about the degradation of language. I'm counting on you for an opinion.

That's not the thread Bobert's looking for. I also knew something was missing, but couldn't remember what. Now it all comes back -- the "Swiss" troll - where is this thread?

Well, danged.... Iz an idiot...

Ahhh, firgot the "age" thing. Maybe 'cause I got too much of that "age" stuff on me... Danged, I feel a blues song...

Deregulation of language? I didn't know it was regulated. Don't worry, if there's a buck to be made, the Repubs will deregulate it...

So, where is the bloody thread that the swiss troll started? I may be old, but not yet so feeble minded as to misplace a thread that Wolfgang addressed in German -- Tom

The thread Bobert refers to is missing, it was called US Welfare System, it was started by GUEST Emil, he said he was Swedish?
and suggested that Sweden was better than USA, Wolfgang had posted to it, explaining that Emil is a famous comedian.
It may have been deleted, or it might have been lost by mistake.

Therefore, Bobert was right; Tom Ridge came in and stole one of our threads!

Here is the actual missing thread title: "American's welfare system "

I can't open it.

Maybe Joe did it just to get an abject apology out of Bobert...
