Hmm... So what are you gonna do when some nasty whack-a-doodle starts high jacking threads & spouting racist non-sense but it's a slow week and you can't round up enough votes to deep 6 the guy? Say you can email enough of us to form a quorum to vote the guy off the island, it's still a 3 or 4 day process...what do we do in the meantime? And what the hell do we (meaning I) do when a couple of posters go to the mattresses over some nonsense, set their allies on each other and start bombarding us (meaning me) with PM's and e-mails demanding I (oops...we) join the brawl or be forever consigned to outer darkness? Why set up a procedure in the first place that just begs to be converted into a BN style meltdown? Personally, I liked the old benevolent dictatorship just fine, thank you very much. Seriously, some systems just do not lend themselves to overly democratic procedures. This is Oz's site and, if he's going to have a forum, then he's just going to have to put up with some occasional kvetching by posters who have taken a dislike for each other. Or maybe delegate the headache to you, LOL.

RA1, I would have thought that the Libertarian candidate pulling 6.5 % of the vote would have cheered you up. That's got to be a record (or damn near it).

Our dear Mr. Oz is the master of conning folks down his yellow brick roads. Just remember, always look behind that curtain!

Newark?

LOL, so now the guy knows not to use unpaid interns to ghost his speeches. Surely he's got the cash to stump up for a professional writer. Tempest in a tea pot, imho.

Me too. Even if I do get a little envious at times, lol.

Thank you, AS. Nice to know that at least one person here took my plea for help seriously. Now if I can just give up cokes, straws, my nicotine gum, chew more slowly and fix my dentures, folks might be willing to sit on my side of the table down at the coffee shop. Of course it might help too if I took a shower a little more often.

---- "The Finding for Suspension shall require a vote in the affirmative by at least 50% + 1 voting with a minimum of nine votes in the affirmative. Consequently, a minimum of 19 members must participate with at least 9 voting in the affirmative." ---- LOL, and what are the chances that 19 regulars will voluntarily jump into a very public brawl here on BoyToy? Oz, you sneaky old dog, with that as the threshold criteria, we would be hard put to evict Attila the Hun. So you've effectively banned us from banning anyone while simultaneously seemingly shifting the full onerous responsibility onto the membership. Thought you'd slip that one by me, did you? Hahahahaha...I thought you were supposed to be busy doing something important in India with the programmers? [Hmmm... I guess none of them has a cute ass...]

hahahahahahaha...ahahahahahahahaha...oh, my sides hurt

Precisely the point.

hahahaha... spot on exemplar of "good enough."

I always get a kick when whack-a-doodles project their own inclinations onto their opponents. LOL, just you wait, let those faggots get married and the next thing you know, the Moslems will be imposing Sharia Law on the good Christians of Chatanooga, Tenn.

I'll put $10 on Mississippi; Oz will no doubt take Alabama; so South Carolina & West Virginia are still open. Anybody got any other states they are willing to put money on?

Or, phrased more precisely, got so hammered last year he could puff crack and not remember doing it... and then got hammered in public again last Spring... and then got hammered again at his office in August... or so it's reported.

Interesting article.

Shouldn't this post be relocated down in the Health & Nutrition Forum?

Hmm...my post in your prior thread about Hillary (inviting her to run) was made just before news started to leak out. Go for it, Hill, baby. you know you want it. Coincidence? I think not!

NCBored, please note there's an evil stepmother involved. The story of a throwaway child often involves a step-parent.

Hahahahahaha...exactly.

See, AS, your fundamental misapprehension is that you being a clever ape will somehow stop me from popping a cap on you when you fuck with my bananas.

Because we are status obsessed apes quick to brawl over a snatched banana? Because genetically programmed behavioral traits well suited for small closely related clans don't work so well in a world with 8 or 10 billion apes all prone to snatching each others bananas. Because in clans with hundreds of millions of members only apes driven quite mad by ambition will claw their way to the top.

LOL, as do I, RA1, but sometimes the old dears make it awfully difficult to be tolerant. ---- I suspect you are quite correct about the 99+% but the point is that nobody who counted much cared what the 99% knew or thought, at least as long as said 99% didn't get their panties in a knot and start chopping off the heads of those who mattered. Hmmm...not so different from today LOL.

No, no, BigK, it's more like "LOL".

LOL, and giving it to Lucky with every ALL-CAP, "quoted", bold face and randomly capitalized Word in your arsenal. Good on YOU! ---- Still, I am old fashioned enough to think that "quoted" bold face & all-cap BOLD FACE is just a smidgen over the top. Sigh...I "suspect" we'll Just have "agree" TO DISAGREE.

Basically there are two reasons we can't quit burning fossil fuels: 1. A shit pot load of folks find nuclear power plants scary, and 2. We're kinda addicted to eating more than a starvation level diet, having the lights come on when it's dark, the air conditioner work when it's hot and being able to travel places at more than 4 miles per hour. Oh, and we haven't even started to discuss the true cost of green power. Like the Easter Islanders who cut down all their trees, and then starved for lack of timber for canoes, we'll keep doing whatever is most convenient...until it isn't.
