Jesus Randy, please write this down beside your computer somewhere so that you can read it each and every time you scrutinize one of my posts.
"Leto is full of crap".
The sooner that you realize this (not just superficially like you may have understood it in the past, but really embrace the essence of it), the sooner you'll realize that it is all the ebb and flow of the MB and that in reality, no one is really ever satisfied.
That way, you know that you are doing your job.
I work 12-14 hours a day, nearly 7 days a week, and I approach posting on this forum as something less than on a serious level most of the time. That does not mean I do not have respect for it. But I do use it to amuse myself (and apparently, the Coil, as we seem to be each other's greatest - and only - fans).
I also do not hate POS at all, but consider him somewhat of a pet like my dog, but just not as clever (trust me, my dog is smarter than I am). And much like my dog, POS is both a M8 and someone who every now and then takes a crap indoors when he can't make it to his real doody duty area.
And as with my dog, I play with him, wrestle with him, and eventually demonstrate my dominance over him, showing him who is the master. Again, almost exactly like with POS, although I dominate old Mick on the CM battlefield and play fetch with him on the MB's.
Mick may at times clamor for attention (okay, understatement alert) and troll and bait and post sheer nincompoopery, but he is as loose as a goose as he does it. He also only uses claims for protection or punting of the hooligans talk, placing you as leader of the brutesquad, because he knows its a gag, and that it gets under the skin of some here (and some no longer able to post here). In a nutshell, Mick can look after himself, and I think anyone that meanders into a waste deep in self aggrandizing ka ka that is a POS thread, one should, as you have so aptly pointed out, realize this fact, and toss the grain of salt over shoulder and wade right in.
Now I understand that some people may be emailing you as to their distaste for this hooliganery, but these people really do need to get an enema and or good gummer, perhaps simultaneously.
All this nonsense about 'childishness and unbecoming talk' is truly unrealistic and over the top just wrong. The term adult should be openly defined as 'someone larger in physical size', as we all regress into childishness and nincompoopery. Just look at our political leaders for evidence. All grown adults trying awkwardly to act like grown adults. Only a very small few actually ever pull it off.
If a society of MB dwellers need constant shepharding, you shouldn't just look at the sheep. You need to consider the shephard as well. Much like you have said in the past, we can avoid any thread we don't want to read. There is no bully with a wrench holding your arm at an odd and painful angle making you read stuff.
Chances are, if you read a Coil thread, you know what you are going to get (if you don't, then the Coil has probably got a nice big diaperfull he can show you for an illustrative point). If you open a POS thread, same thing (the diaper is much bigger and is a bit runny down the sides). Open one of mine, and you probably don't want the explicit graphic of it elaborated upon as to what it represents, unless your stomach is made of iron.
If someone is fluffing up a good constructive post that many people are contributing to, delete the nonsense, no questions asked. That I support. Continued malicious trolling, get rid of it, that I support. But when the nature of what time we invest here becomes a look over your shoulder set of propositions each and every time we post something inane and askance, then that is just plain wrong.
I guarantee you, outside of this exact post and most of everything else that I write on this board, people actually enjoy reading the jocular and sometimes even marginally witty travestations of MB etiquette (yes Coil, you again).
Now, I must return to the cold hard science of academic crapola from which I have been spawned, and continue plying my efficacious skills in boring even learned people out of their mind.
Cheers!
Leto
