I was thinking about SteveR this morning. Thinking about what his job description must be. He probably has reports he runs, coordinates delivery and distribution, answers customer queries, and the famous addition to all job descriptions across America, the dreaded "and other duties".
Forum Sitting is probably one of those "other" duties. Overall, the forum has been tamer since the January meltdown. Sort of like hemorrhoids- right now you are fine, then things get uncomfortable, then the inflammation hits, and it all becomes a pain in the backside.
I don't envy SteveR on this aspect of his job, so I thought to myself "how could this be made easier on SteveR"?
I came up with a personal attack thread. A one stop shop for all the complaints.
Let's say for instance Bloody Spaniard calls me a balding, scum sucking, child molesting, wife beating, cattle raping, poor tipping (or he could combine the last two and call it Cow Tipping)trailer park living, redneck, turd, Kennedy-lover.
What I could then do is copy & paste the thread name, the post number, and the verbiage onto this thread. This accomplishes two things:
1-SteveR could just stop here to get caught up on things.
2-It would make for some interesting reading.
Now most people probably wouldn't use this quick and easy service. MACS doesn't believe in ratting people out, and others would rather just battle back- that whole "eye for an eye" thing.
Attack each other's ideas all you want- its part of the fun. But if we REALLY want to eliminate the personal attacks from the boards, here's a good place to start.
On that sunny note, time to go out for a big cup of coffee.
Enjoy your day, my B/SOTL!
