This thread breaks the rules.

This thread, though a good attempt at humour, doesn't follow the rules.

I'm right there with you, Keyser. Seems like it's about time to stumble upon a non-existent post, eh?

It was a good attempt at humour? I thought it was just some weirdo being an asshat.

I

don't understand

the referenced post and I think

that it should go

although elsewhere in Metatalk

people are calling for bans.

WTF is up with that?

I think Landover is hilarious. I like their crusade against tampons ....

dancingbaptist: obviously, you are aware of the anti-

tampon faction. why then do you persist in trying to make

money from it when there is the entire weight of the

landover baptist church against you? Are you just being

stubborn?

Yes, a dumb post. And the overwhelming desire it gives to reply in double-spaced fashion has proven too much temptation for us all. The cancer must be destroyed before it spreads.

Aah! Too late!

I agree with Brother Keyser, except for the "good" part.

Bans? Fuck that. Motherfucker needs to be taught a lesson. We need some hard pipe-hittin' niggas up in here.

I agree with language hat, but then I'd have to add an 'n' to 'a', because I'm an anal-retentive pedant!

Just curious but why are posts deleted from the Green no longer available but ones gone from the Blue remain accessible if you know the URL?

It is as it always was. "Where were you when I coded the world?" Thus spake the mathowie.

billsaythis: Different versions of the MeFi codebase with different uses, database thingies, and portability. I get the feeling that only one version of the MeFi codebase can run on a server, but multiple versions of the MeTa/AxMe codebase can run.

those database thingies always cause problems.
