We can deal with rude people, it’s just the revolting conmen that everyone hates that should be banned if necessary. Darth Id, or Ghimli for example…

I agree. I don’t mind the occasional troll, but when they start trashing every conversation and nobody wants them around, it’d be nice to be able to give them the boot. If we have moderation, I would like it to be very light, just to keep the really bad trolls in line. Some trolls are fun, though. I just don’t like it when they start to take over.

I just realized that my post might sound critical of you, so sorry if it came across that way…

You may not be the only mod, but you’re the only one who’s really active, as far as I can tell. I should probably use the “report” button more often, though… I guess sometimes I subconsciously assume that the mods are aware of everything that’s going on.

Regardless, that still doesn’t solve the problem of Off Topic being entirely unmoderated. It used to be just fine, but we keep getting trolls and other idiots popping by and abusing that freedom.

Hang in there, Possessed. I can’t say it’ll solve all your problems, but breaking free from your addictions would probably help you at least somewhat. I wish it was an easier thing to do, but I really don’t think all that drink and pot is doing you any good.

I’m positive that these addictions are the reasons for the lack of fulfillment he described.

No, they aren’t. I don’t feel like getting in to all that at the moment though.

Your biggest problem is that you don’t think your addictions are a big enough problem to fight. There may be other stuff going on in your life as well, but substance abuse only worsens the problem, and is no doubt part of the reason you’re stuck in a rut.

I mean that as someone concerned for your wellbeing, not someone trying to lecture you.

Maybe we just need to enforce the rules a little more? Personal attacks, excessive profanity, etc. are all against the rules, so a few violations of them should get people banned. Even in Off Topic, though perhaps a little more leeway could be granted here, especially as regards profanity. Personal attacks just aren’t cool in general, but people seem to get away with them all the time, simply because they’re in Off Topic, or they’re only borderline offensive.

EDIT: And by “we”, I guess I mean SilverWook… 😛

^Thanks for clarifying!

I think he meant to say “its course is rough,” which, in the case of salmon, is indeed true.

Especially in my house!

Don’t know about the coarse and rough part, though…

I just thought Young Guns didn’t really leave room for a sequel. Ric Olie, on the other hand, did.

They did not originally plan for a sequel, but it did happen…and it was every bit as good as the first…shall we watch it this weekend?

Sure, if I’m not too busy.

There’s a sequel?

…Uh, yeah…that’s it!

Yeah, I can’t hear “know” at all.

BOTH Bill and Ted movies are on NETFLIX… AWWWW YISSSSSS! Keanu… O.O

Hmmm, I haven’t seen the second one. Is it any good?

Nice job! The timing is perfect throughout. 😃

The Force Unleashed’s face? Which one? (Incidentally, all four are from this site.)

The snow is virtually gone here. This is the earliest it’s (completely) melted here since I was born and I’m hoping it stays this way.

Why don’t you try it and find out?

I remember liking it, but it’s been a couple years since I saw it.

Why the plural? I see exactly one poster who thinks it’s crap, and he’s clearly not worth listening to.

Eh, I wasn’t really counting. I thought someone else had said something, but I guess I’m wrong.

Sorry to hear that. 😦

As promised, I’ll say a prayer or two for you.

On the bright side, that bar doesn’t matter for Frink’s edit. He could do something creative with them and it would only be a good thing…

i should get singing lessons. I believe I have the larnyx for singing, but my social anxiety disorder has hampered it.

That might be good for you, especially if you do have the talent for it.
