I just played my Jabba option ... you down with that?

Well rather than let this descend into a spiral of questionable posting and most definitely SPAM, I'll just shut this down and we can use our active imaginations to wonder what this thread could have been ... FLoSD.ObE

Thanks :D

Ok we'll try this one more time. Could we please try to stay on-topic. DL has made the case that perhaps one more try will work ... so let's try to post constructively - or is that wishful on my my part?

The point of pointless arguing is to wake me up and get me off of the Roost? /subtle warning ...

Well heaven forbid should I ruin a good chatter-fest ... but every dissertation needs focus and intentionality. I suspect that this thread has become more distracting than productive for DL ... and rather than feed one another with SPAM, I say we move this to the fridge of AotS ... FLoSD.ObE

No actually as a paradigm, sarcasm is to be avoided as it leads to SPAM. The discussion, though heated, has been generally constructive. I am hopeful it shall stay that way ...

I'm not fond of SPAM ... /subtle hint

Well I think that we have arrived at the point of departure from remaining on-topic. Let's hope that whatever changes occur for Michael that they are positive for him.

Well heaven forbid should such a warm greeting not be warmly embraced, kindly welcomed and finally closed. Welcome to WoT - respect the mods, fear the Big Green ... the rest is trivial ... FLoSD.ObE

Thread Pruned ... obviously with the hope that there will be no further derailment ...

Hmmmm .... I smell SPAM ....

Yep yep ...

Life on the Roost ...

Could we please not avoid the language filter? There are much more articulate ways in which to place emphasis on a position.

Paranoia is good for the cynicism that breads so well in WoT ... /insert appropriate music from The Prisoner at this point ... FLoSD.ObE

I know this does not need to be mentioned - but I know you will all humour me - please refrain from baiting/insulting one another. Discuss the topic, not the member. If that is too difficult, I can arrange for a Cone of Silence for anyone needing a timeout. FLoSD.ObE

Well ... if in doubt, I would think that is AotS material ... Be sure to tune in for the top 100 when I suspect this thread will be reborn ... FLoSD.ObE

Thread Pruned: OK - we'll try one more time to encourage constructive posting. Consider not doing so at this point as an invitation for posting privileges to be reviewed at the Big Green's Roost ...

Welcome to the forum. Please do make use of the existing discussion in this regard.

Thread pruned. Please try to post in a constructive manner.

And then there was silence ... I think it's time for a breather ... AotS bound ...

AotS in ... 5 ... ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

I suspect no amount of pruning will help this thread ever stay the course. Sorry for the emotional distress some have experienced, please feel free to find a private fora somewhere in which to commiserate loss with one another. Respectfully, Fionavar

Part 2 Let the discussion continue
