TGIT
Hi guys 'n' gals. Mind drifting as usual on the way in this morning when a nice fluffeh idea occurred to me.

When the occassional /talk-boarder climbs over the fence to OT with some ludicrous suggestion or disruptive teen-behaviour, I think we should pelt them with left-over cakes rather than flame them. Maybe even jelly too.

What do you think?

I think they should get...
The Comfy Chair.


With extra cushions.




That'll learn 'em.

Just let me at em.
The threat of a 40+ year old women with a raging libido should get rid of them pretty quick.


Edit - Well apart from Woodside industries that is.

Or quote large sections of the Encyclopaedia Britannica at them.
Or the Grove Dictionary of Music (I have access to that at work, but not to the EB).

I sometimes hang out over there
And depending on the time of day it's a laugh...very fast moving and really quite nice.

That said there are a couple of people I do avoid...but the same can be said for qotw, the main board and even the lovely fluffeh links board too...Nowhere is excluded from tossers sadly.

Release the kittens.
The really grumpy ones.

Edit - Oh I see chickenlady, your a double agent. *winks*

@ BGB
Yep, I mention kittens and cake at every available opportunity. Some of them keep mentioning this Barnaby Bear thing.

Strange.

Maybe...just maybe
We could push through a motion in parliament to ban morons from the internet. Make them do an exam before they are given broadband.

That would be like
banning morons from government. Imagine what a tall order that would be...

Some of the morons can be quite entertaining
It's some of the intelligent ones I have a problem with - far too clever for their own good and full of their own superiority.

Arrogance I can deal with, it's the smug superior gits I can't stand, with their, "Oh, I'm so much more intelligent than you"

You don't know me. Twat.

But I shall name no names because I'm a martyr.

Or maybe I'm just scared it'll turn into a flaming war and I won't be able to find the Off button on my laptop!

the ones
who make me laugh are the ones who say "oooh get him/her, watch them wobble, stop taking yourself so seriously, it's only the internet, are you getting upset, Online, on the Internet, blah blah" - but then clearly take it far far too seriously themselves!

In the absence of an Encyclopaedia Britannica
How about the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics? (the Rubber Handbook, to those of us in the business). I could quote the ionisation potentials of rubidium to them!

I'm all for quoting random bits of technical text at people for fun and profit.

Nah.
Me, I'm happy to see them- there are actually quite a few nice and reasonably clever people over there. If they want to hang out here it's fine with me...
