Is RSF on the rag?

It's actually been raining quite a bit. Cooled things down considerably.

[Chris Fleming]

Raining like a mofo off and on for about a month. Messing up my trips to the park but I do like that it has cooled off the place.

very close to where most of ya'll (see, I'm using my "ya'll's" more)

Did you have to see the neurologist to switch from you'in's to y'all's? Darn Pennsylvanian horse and buggy quaker stating coal miners.

It's actually been raining quite a bit. Cooled things down considerably.

that's true. but one thing i've found disconcerting is the public threats to ban people and then announcing when you do it. one person was banned who i had met up to practice with. i thought this was bizarre because even if we don't like what someone has to say, if they are down to meet and practice they should not be banned.

why not just take away their posting privileges temporarily (or even for good) so at least they can sill PM to coordinate meet ups? or just delete their posts if it's so bad. in general i've noticed that mods on all kinds of forums seem to enjoy flexing their muscle in a public fashion.

also there are some people who are clearly last word freaks and must be trippin' if they think someone is going to read their ten page rejoinders to every little thing.

what's even more silly is how intense some things can get because you know damn well if, for example, we went to the same school or lived in the same neighborhood, the vast majority of us would be friends. but on line the bitterness is palpable.

just my ten cents. if you don't like it, i will email you and death waiver in PDF format and we can get it on.

[Michael]

How many pages is your death waiver? Mine's 27 on LGL sized paper, which is usually enough to scare away my opponents right there, so I win.

Where the fuck is this thread going now? SFMike, I think he was talking about the temperature in Austin right now.

[Michael]

Since the sniper thread was a setup, this is where he's being honest and upfront.

EDIT: Mike's post is on topic for this thread, and there has been one person banned that I didn't want to see go, but this thread has taken a positive turn so it might be good to let it keep going that way.

Yo Brother Pat,

Run the date by me early so I can input or adjust. I am
still stuck out here in SJ. I offer up my place for a culinary fiasco also.

....Thong-Stretching Society's monthly Suck It Up....

hmmmm.... how very interesting...

[nianfong]

I believe we still have the Dunce Cap group to eliminate posting privileges. however I believe most bannings have been appropriate.
Mike we don't take kindly to trolls around here. doesn't matter if you meet up with them in person and they're ok. troll the forum, and you're banned. period.

[Muad'dib]

Also, if you meet someone in person and they are a POS, they still might have posting privileges.

to do if forced to take the vaccine. Dr. Ken O'Neal has had over forty
years of practicing medicine and has a wealth of understanding of both
natural healing and conventional medicine. So come on down to the
bookstore this Saturday at 7pm to see this talk live.

Just curious. Does it seem like we are getting really snippy and argumentative on the forum here?

I rarely post. I rarely have anything to add, period. But I have been reading and hanging out less and less due to the way things smell around here.

We usually run on a cycle around here. We get on a BJJ kick, then a Taiji thingy, then Wing Chun, then something else, so on and so forth.

Do we do this with our attitudes also? Are we gonna get back to giving hugs and being nice? I like hugs and nice. Do you guys?



PS- And this is not directed at the mods or the guys who keep the lights on and pay the bills for our lovely and FREE board (free to us, anyways).

Chris and Micheal- I had an outstanding time hanging out with you guys! Plus the guys here in Austin need to all get together and break bread sometime soon.

I think we call all learn a lot from Arthur!
