Re: Reconciliation

One of the most difficult bridge to cross is the simply, at root, but challenging, at heart, "let's just agree to disagree". But there are some much more serious issues that would need to be, well, fixed isn't really the word, but I am not convinced that they possibly can be. The basic principles of...

Re: Dragged into the Slimepit

I'm with Skepcheck on this, I am really kind of baffled too.

I think Franc's points could be quite vaid, but I just don't think we have enough data to really make that determination with certainty.

Re: Take it outside

Personally, I think a new tagline should be something sort of sensible and meaningful, not necessarily just a bit of quick wit -- nothing wrong with quick wit, but if we go with wit, let's find something applicable. We can let this ride for a while and see what folks come up with. I'll probably come...

Note to Stefunny et al.

Re: Stefunny has paid a visit

Using Stefunny's own definition of cyberstalking, she has proved her cyberstalking skills to be in tip-top shape. It is also clear from her post, and the comments attached to it, that even if we changed our language to be something akin to Dick and Jane books (See Spot run. See Spot catch the ball, ...

Access / Non-access to Admin Forums

Do you think it might be a useful idea to make the forums listed under Admin accessible only to registered memebers? I see no reason why anyone who is not a member would need to see the boring nuts and bolts of daily fixes. I understand that this might be a slippery slope type of issue -- if today w...

Group and Forum Descriptions

General forum Group suggestion. It might be practical to have a very brief description, under each Group heading, of what the group is for. And the same might work for each individual forum.

Perhaps the group, Forum, could be renamed to something like Specific Topic Forums, or Specific Topics, or something like that. After all, all of the forums under all of the groups are forums.

Re: Justicar's CAPS LOCK FORUM

Oh, it's just a bit of snark directed at Justicar, who sometimes gets quite worked up about some of his opinions and starts throwing in a bit of ALL CAPS to emphasize his point.

You know, all caps on the Internet equals shouting at someone.
