I tried getting on the conference call yesterday but you all gave me the wrong password! Seriously, I had some dastardly plans to discuss.
Here's my agenda for next week's call.
1. Sell more liquor to patrons.
2. Collect more dollars.
3. BAN EVERYTHING.

No, I think I need to work on my Monty Python and Spiro Agnew quotes. That will "seal the deal." Can you give me some pointers?

I remember reading Neuromancer decades ago and being horrified by the scene where the protagonist is strapped up to some machine that shows his brain cells being slowly blotted out one by one.
That's the effect reading this poast has on me. One can't help but walk away from it feeling a little dumber.

Is this a case of you censoring yourself?

Moderators, can we please enforce that people correctly spell the word "POST"? It's not a tough word really. Emphasis on the correct spelling of the word "definitely" would be appreciated as well. Sure, it's the internet and maybe abbreviations and slang are commonplace, but I think all of us that POST here use English as our official language. It's never too late to keep learning correct grammar, right?

4. Develope specific criteria under which a users account will be disabled, then deleted and when IP address banning will occur.

Kosmol, you are proving yourself, indeed, to be the Fleetwood Mac to my Sex Pistols.
Once you start banning it becomes an addiction. Absolute power and all...
I forsee the end of the bboard coming.

I defnitely agree with this.

Seriously. This is hilarious.
Are you going to start quoting Rev. Martin Niemoeller now?

I think most of us would like our boots of FREEDOM to go uncensored on your crotch.

i for some reason enjoy surly's outbursts. i'm not sure if this is the case but when i write i tend to want to spell certain words (theatre, colour, poast, shoppe, ect...) as if somehow connected into a pre-british invasion of that anglo language of long ago. is it to convince one's self that it appears that of a "higher speak" like those old throwback, fifty-cent words i somehow feel are necessary to learn?

No, I'm only waiting for you to start comparing us to Hitler.

Dupek, you can't be a martyr to free speech advocates everywhere when you practically beg to be banned from the site. It's bordering on pathetic at this point.

And why would you think that? Do you have Hitler on the brain?
A long time ago in a galaxy far away, hoya said that we shouldn't use the 'H'-word unless speaking about genocide. I agree.
And by facist, do I mean Hitler???
No, there are a slew of them available.
By 'facist' I mean you.
-
you can get banned from this site?!
:eek:

Yes, I am a facist.

it may come to that... if same attitude and behavior were to repeatedly displayed to a 9:30 staph member in the club, that person would most likely find themselves being shown the door.

alright, I feel a *little* better

This may be a bit of a stretch; according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "post" was spelled "poast" only during the 1500s and 1600s.
"Theatre" and "colour" are standard UK spellings today and reflect the influence of French, from which both words derive. (The lexicographer Noah Webster strove to rescue English from what he saw as the corrupting influence of the British aristocracy, opting instead to spell things more like they sounded.)
The OED doesn't even list "shoppe," except to note it as "an archaic form of SHOP n. now used affectedly (as in the names of tea-shops, etc.) to suggest quaint, old-world charm. Cf. OLDE a."
To me, the spelling "poast" implies some kind of combination of poaching and posting. For some reason I don't mind it. ;)
