PROBATION!!!
Every day life becomes more enjoyable!
Petition to Threadmaster in re: retroactive probation for poster "C3PX"
The subject of the thread during the period in question was "William Shatner". Poster "C3PX" responded in post #4 with "KHAAAAAAAAAAN!" - presumably referring to Shatner's line from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Strictly speaking, this line of dialogue was not solely delivered by Shatner. It was given in a similar way by Jason Alexander on Seinfeld (c. 1996-1997) and again by the ensemble cast in the movie Free Enterprise (1999). As multiple performances of this line of dialogue can be confirmed, it was the responsibility of the poster "C3PX" to specify which one he intended, but there was no accompanying detail providing such specificity.
I appeal to the Threadmaster, for great justice, to retroactively pass a judgment of PROBATION!!! on poster "C3PX" for his neglectful ambiguity in this matter. Though I myself opined - correctly - that every post on every thread all across the internet is ultimately about William Shatner, the burden falls upon the poster to provide de jure proof of this, not de facto proof based on my ultimately correct supposition.
I only hope I am not out of turn here in suggesting punishments for thread participants, but it occurred to me that action must be taken and nowhere in the thread is there a resource availing one of the opportunity to take such action. If I have stepped too far, I am prepared for the consequences. The greater good of bringing more Shatner into the thread must be served.
Sincerely,

Boy, this is a tough one. I shall deliberate on this question, as I don't want to rush to judgment. I also invite C3PX to present a defense, which will be taken into account before final judgment is rendered.
Incidentally, Ric Olie could be questioned in the same manner. The kitty cat did not specify a source either. What say you, Ric?
VFP, you are not outside the bounds of reasonableness in your questioning of another thread-member's supposed on-topic post. Your diligence is commendable. However, your post contained one glaring error...violation of Rule #1!
PROBATION!!!
Mmmm...that was delicious.

Just a reminder to anyone who wanders in here and is thinking about posting without reading through the thread - the Rules are posted in the very first post. Read them closely, or subject yourself to...
TORTURE!!!
Oops, sorry. I watched Teenagers From Outer Space recently and got carried away. Anyhow...
Read the rules closely, or subject yourself to...
PROBATION!!!

Oh lordy, where to begin.
First off, you don't get to put people on PROBATION here - only I can. See VFP's last post for how to request that another's post be reviewed for rule-breaking.
Second, you should read a little closer:

Also, if you had looked at the first post before going on a PROBATION binge, you would have seen this:

Finally, if you read that same post now, you will see this:

That's right...
...wait for it...
PROBATION!!!
(violation of Rule #1)
You have thus become the first repeat offender. Congratulations! It may take you a bit longer to get off of PROBATION this time. I suggest providing a humorous reason why I should take you off PROBATION.
-Threadmaster
Incidentally, I await a response from either C3PX or Ric on why they should be spared. Ric's case is particularly interesting. Since he is currently on PROBATION, a retroactive PROBATION would put him in violation of Rule #5.
Oh, and while I'm at it...

As multiple performances of this line of dialogue can be confirmed, it was the responsibility of the poster "C3PX" to specify which one he intended, but there was no accompanying detail providing such specificity.
I hereby present this defense to the Threadmaster:
Those other usages, by Jason Alexander and from the movie Free Enterprise, and any number of other forms of media that may have quoted that line, were all referencing Shatner.
For example, if I were to make this quotation:
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
And attribute it to one of my old college professors, you'd likely accuse me of either being ignorant or dishonest, and correct me by saying it is a quotation from Albert Einstein. If I were to say, "No, no, really, my Under Water Basket Weaving 101 professor said that in class one day." Your logical conclusion would be that my professor was quoting Einstein. In the end, no matter how many people repeat that quote, they are still the words of Einstein.

Oh, man. I see nothing about Scientology in that post.
PROBATION!!!
Perhaps this is a good time to repost Rule #1, since it has been frequently violated.
TV's Frink said:
1) Whatever the thread is currently about, your post must at least have some connection to that topic. So if the thread is currently about ugly cats, you can post an ugly cat picture. You can also talk about your ugly cat. What you can't do is post about William Shatner, unless you're going to tell a story about his ugly cat, or post a picture of an ugly cat head on his body.
Anyway, C3PX and VFP have stated their case. I shall rule after careful deliberation. And since C3PX is now on PROBATION, he is in danger of a retroactive induction into the Hall of Shame, just as Ric is.
How about it, Ric? Care to defend your use of Khaaaaaaaan?
Ric Olie said:
That cat is angry.
Cats had their movie/TV rights revoked in 1985. Well before Seinfeld and other copycats (pun intended) used the line. Therefore, this post could only be and shall forever will be in reference to Shatner's Khaaaaan.
Oh, and just to show you how to correctly defend yourself in this thread:
His Excellency The Threadmaster has rendered judgment:
C3PX and Ric Olie are both hereby found not guilty. All charges are dropped and they are both free to go. However, the previous unrelated PROBATION remains in effect.
VFP may appeal if he deems it necessary.
Sorry to respond so late, but the message was late in getting to me here on Rura Penthe, where I am serving my probated sentence. I realize you didn't send me here, but I figured I better find that hot chick that could turn into Shatner. That way if my probation was permanent, I have already made the best of it.

Thank you, ferris, for restoring order to the thread. I can't believe it took Tom Cruise to bring us all together again.
Now, for the business at hand...

Same question.
VFP and ABC, as you were already on PROBATION, you are hereby notified that you have been nominated for the HALL OF SHAME. Should you believe this nomination is in error, you may appeal. You are given 24 hours to state your defense. Otherwise, you will be inducted into the HALL.
And since you both are having so much trouble with Rule #1, I will give you a friendly tip. Your defense better include a connection to Scientology (even if it's just a pic of Tom Cruise looking up at Katie Holmes), or I will have to create a new level of shame beyond the HALL for your third consecutive violation.
