[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 189888, member: 3"] OK guys. Yes it could have been a thread where 27 different people respond "Yeah!", or "Nice pipe!", or whatever. There are other forums for that, places where actual threads of conversation are hidden among a multitude of "Yup"s. What happens when we try to take a simple topic starter and expand on the original idea, where the conversation grows and takes on a life of it's own (you know, like actual conversation in real life) is it's sometimes succesful, sometimes a failure, and sometimes a situation where one guy says "Well F U pal!" and the next guy says "Yo momma mofo!!". Unfortunately, in this thread, where I beleive most everyone intended a respectful response, the respect due the original post got lost in the rhetoric. I appologize, for myself and for BoB. When we're so used to taking a cue from one topic and expanding upon it, it can be difficult to refrain when the situation dictates. I wouldn't want this place to become a Yup forum, to lean towards political correctness for fear of stepping on toes (really, do we need another like that?). Hopegully we can realize that the idea is not to repress dialogue, but to restrain from inappropriate timing. Perhaps a Sandbox, a "Yo Mama!" sticky thread in the Rubber Room where grievances can be aired when they would be better not aired In Medias Res. A simple "Take it to the sandbox boys!" could help keep threads clean and keep them from constantly being moved to the rubber room. [/QUOTE]
