Discuss what is the question.

There's not enough of it at 6500'.

Isn't it supposed to be "Gayer than a treeful of monks on nitrous oxide"?

I don't think so.

"Gayer than a treeful of monkeys"? Surely not monkies?

I don't hold misspelling against her.

At least I manage to capitalize and use punctuation.

Apparently you've never read Neil Gaiman.

I have a few question if that's ok. Nothing specific, but I would like some clarity on a few things:

1) Is it against the rules to ask a particular group of people why they don't move to a location, be it state or nation, whose views are more similar to theirs?

2) Also, can you be breaking the rules for quoting what someone else says (directed at you), while the person who made the original comment end up with no issue at all?

Thanks.

Oh, GOD no!

surely The Monkeys weren't gay! please! say it ain't so, mickey! say it ain't so!

my lame-ass topic didn't post and/or was rejected by teh forum gods. 

oh well. it was silly at best, my mistake a best.

it's more than i deserved, really. 

i hoped to spread a little humah, at the mod's expense.

i willingly confess my sin and expose my genitalia for the mod's divine retribution.


oh, wait. here's the magnifying glass that allows me a modicum o' grandure.

"This topic is locked?"  It was even replied to before it was rejected by the "forum gods," as you put it.

I know you missed it, so I'll just tell you what the reply said. It consisted of four letters: "I am just so original!."

And it was meeeeee!

oh lord!

That's not the point. When I spend a lot of time discussing an issue and some troll comes along on page 6 and ends up prompting a lock, that's not fair to me. Trolls shouldn't be granted so much power.

Sometimes it looks like Oatmeal is looking for any pretext to lock certain topics. That Bush faith-based initiatives topic has been locked twice. I'm getting really fed up with spending a lot of time and effort in topics only to have them arbitrarily locked whenever the mod feels like it.

There is only one topic that I find myself doing that in: Creation vs. Evolution.  There is no way, IMO, that that issue is EVER going to advance unless God incarnate steps in and says "This is how it was."  Even then people will still say "I don't think that was really God." 
People on both sides of that issue are going to butt heads until they pass out from it, and then someone new will take their place. They're frustrating to the point of tearing my hair out; thank goodness I keep it too short to get a good grip on it.  As they tend to reach 10+ pages, it's pretty clear that I'm restraining myself there.

I do my best to follow the line in the rules about not closing a topic to win an argument.

I understand that you often put a bit of effort into your threads.  Hell, I even phrased rule #4 the way I did because I'm not unaware of it.
