Also, there is plain rotteness. They cannot stand to have even differing MEANS of discussion exist, let alone differing discussion. It's like simply conducting an adult, flame-free discussion is treason itself.
I'll repeat...don't feed their egos. All they are here to do is stroke themselves and get "High-Fives" from their buddies. Every time a flame-baiter or troll is responded to, it only encourages them to stay, and continue. Let them be.
This thread , despite the beliefs of the Purists, is NOT and was NEVER intended to be, some kind of "Kill Terri" thread. It was intended to provide for a decent, adult, reasoned discussion of this and other issues that tend to get lost in wild emotions and hysteria. The manifesto makes no mention of any "preferred" stance; it only discusses the means of debate.
It has been quite civil here thus far. A few lapses on the side of the WPPFF's, and a whole lot on the "other" side. We are showing far more decency and maturity than the trolls ever can. Let us continue.
I'll bump to that thank you. I posted a couple of hug smiley gifs rather than pop my cork, I hope that doesn't fall too far outside the bounds of civility. :)
Anyway, I have no Wild Turkey in the house, so I'm going to pour myself a shot of that fine Elmer T. Lee bourbon that's calling to me from the kitchen. What a day.
HI LC.
Bumping what you said.
Tell you true, though, I have about had to sit on my hands and bite my tongue not to respond to some of the flame-baiters!
(And I am Pro-Life fer cryin' out loud!)
You are right: flame-free thread is not allowed anymore!
