Is it just me, or does he look a little like Ben Stiller in this photo?
DaleWisely:The toughest part about being a moderator, especially one who preaches about civility so much, is that one feels contrained from being able to occasionally tell someone to go jump in the lake.
Ha! It sounds like you’ve found a way to get the message across, Dale.
S’funny… yesterday I was being congratulated for my 1000th post, and today the moderator is telling me to go jump in the lake and deleting my thread. Dale must be getting kick-backs from Weekenders or something.
TomB:
This might be a good time for you to take it up with Dale in a PM or something, and not argue with him here.
Don’t look at me… I didn’t initiate a public discussion on the matter.
I know, but Dale always tells folks when he is deleting a topic.
I’m just advocating discretion.

Damn. Busted.

No – Ben Stiller is much taller.

That’s ok, Dale. I’ll be watching to see if this policy is dealt with fairly.
ah - and if it “isn’t”??? It IS Dale’s board, you know. As Grand Puhba he can do whatever he wants.
(I just thought with that current avatar, Dale should be referred to as Grand Puhba!)
But he does consider hiself to be a fair person, does he not?

DaleWisely:I just deleted a thread that begins with speculation about psychiatric illness in the President. I’m not a fan or a support of President Bush, but I object to this kind of gossip and armchair diagnosis.
That’s ok, Dale. I’ll be watching to see if this policy is dealt with fairly. I may be wrong, but there have been other articles posted here based on speculation that haven’t been deleted.
Go ahead. Do your research and, please, by all means, “watch” me. But I could just save you the trouble by letting you know that I’m sure you’ll find examples of inconsistent application of judgment on my part.
Noted. My comment was rhetorical… sort of.

Yeah, Gilder NEVER gets personal, sort of.

You’re wasting your spray… no flame was intended.
Cut it out, you two.
I’m just sad I didn’t get the time to have a good ole argument about something Jack said. It’s my favorite pastime!
If I can find more moderate and less spiteful and speculative evidence that George is a couple tools short of a full shed, can I post it, or would that be deleted too? hypothetically speaking?
If it were my own personal opinion that the president is a sociopathic homicidal narcissist, and my basis for making that judgement is a pattern of coffee grounds I saw in the bottom of my mug, would I be able to say that here, provided I revealed my sources were, you know, say, Maxwell House and Lactancia cream, so others could verify my story? Or is any speculation whatsoever about the mental health of an incompetent leader taboo?
Just curious.
(Not that I’m any big fan of slapping mental illness labels on people we don’t like - but it’s too bad I didn’t get the chance to say so - I love arguing with Jack. Boo hoo.)

But I thought you only enjoyed arguing with me when we disagree, Kerri.

Dang. Now I’ll have to substitute silly string.
