Default I can see why some of you hate OT posts

Because so many of you are so incredibly stupid and malicious on any given
topic.

Consider me converted.

<snork>

Hope you realize that people who have filtered out "OT" in the subject
line probably won't even see your post.

Carry on.

BTW, you forgot the OBFood bit.

So when your self described angry rapid "educational" methods don't work
out it must be because everybody <except you> is stupid?

As I said before you just don't realize how all of your anger makes no
sense to anyone except you. Most folks will listen to an opinion if it
involves some sort of thought. Angry rapid posts just turn folks off.

I think there's an optimal level of off-topic posts, and I'm not sure
what that level is but it's not 0%. (It's probably in the low
single-digits though, and lately the OT stuff here has been running well
over 50%)

Not on _my_ server...

I'd say maybe 20%, but I've only been back for 3 days...

I apologize for my OT contributions, and I'll restrain myself
in the future.

At least though I've been discussing important matters of
social policy rather than partisan politics.

I think most is because of the political season.

Once the election is over and the Children are back in school the OT's will
calm down.

That's true. But some of the political views that have come out in these
latest threads have completely changed the way I think about a number of
people who post here. While many would say that I do not suffer fools
gladly, I now believe that I give people wayyyy too much credit. I must
because I am continually surprised when they show their idiocy.

In defense of OTs

Sure, we could take our political/social rants to a more appropriate
site, full of strangers. Here,we are at least aquaintences. We've
talked about soup and rice and dog nose what else. We have some
context (Even if, I confess, I can't always keep straight who said
what)

Better spew from an idiot you sorta know than spew from a random,
annonymous idiot.

Think globally, argue locally.

And, we are generally polilte enough to make separate threads. Don't
read 'em if you don't want to.

It kinda changed the way I thought about you too.

I used to like you and think you were funny.

Now I know you're just a, well, nevermind...

You read me wrong. I don't hate the OT posts, I am disgusted with the
idiots. Jay writes that "muslims are scary." Omelet writes that "affirmative
action gets you a free education." George thinks Obama stands for power
flowing from the goverment to the people and not the other way around.
"Chatty Cathy" thinks you have to have borne a child to understand anything
about children. The foam-flecked ****williger assumes that those who support
Obama "get more from the system than they pay into it." And "Goomba," where
to even begin? She thinks, among other unbelievably asinine things, that the
girl's room and the boy's locker room count as sex education.

Ob food, I'll have whatever these dickfaces are NOT having.

No, I wrote, "I don't receive NEARLY as much from the government as I give
to it". I said that's why I don't favor socialism. I didn't say anything
about whether that favors one Presidential candidate over another. Is it
your intention to state that Obama is a socialist? I would ask you to read
more carefully, but I think you're already comprehending as much as you're
capable of comprehending.

I *will* say that people who leech off the system tend to favor the
Democratic Party in general and Obama in particular. There are also
perfectly respectable people who like Obama -- but you're not one of them.

I'd say 90% of the posts in this group are OT, and are never marked as
such.

Can we get some consideration here?

If you're gonna get uptight enough to start another thread, at least
refer back to the original thread which started it so those of us
who missed it can go back and see who got reamed and why.

ObFood: Emergency can of 25% Less Salt SPAM (from desk drawer) on
peanut butter crackers (from the vending machine) for dinner
tonight. They actually don't taste too bad together.

Does your server block Andy's 10 OT threads a day and all the other
shitheads?

Gee. If people didn't spend so much time on OT threads, imagine how
much time they'd have to type about cooking? (assuming they know how
to cook in the first place).

Mee too, lately. That's why I've been pouring on the charm lately.
And I'm home all weekend, so expect the wurstz.

Heck, Maybe OM will swing by and pick me up to go shopping this
weekend... Maybe she can smack some sense into me with her whips
and chains.

Not wanting to research every post to every thread... but wondering
what transpired that I've missed. It seems to me that posters have
stayed in line with their public persona. I haven't had any big
surprises lately.
