[split] Peanut Gallery Commentary-and the drama over the nudity thread continues

RE: Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.
Men, it's time we started fighting fire with fire!

All bachelors are now allowed to marry and gestate!
With modern advances in technology, all squares are now permitted to fit in a circle! (yes, many squares have died fighting for this right)

If you actually want to discuss the issue rather than dismiss it with a joke, have at it. Heatheness has a good point there, and waving it away with ridicule doesn't change that fact.

Come on, Thump... it WAS a joke/troll thread.
Who, in their right minds, would bring up such an issue?
Why would it be an issue on an online forum, but not... say... on the beach? Why is there an industry of bikinis, instead of just swim-panties?
Before attempting to "fix" it on the internet, better "fix" it out there, in real life. If real life society has deemed things to be as they are, then just leave them be the same online.

Isn't the whole point of the adage that you can't fight fire with fire?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You can light fire with fire.

Especially if you're a bored firefighter.

Uh, they can get married. That's never been illogical.

But can they remain bachelors? That's why controversy rages@!

RE: Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.
actually, you can probably fight fire with fire. Build a bigger fire, closer, and watch as the other goes out from a lack of proper oxygen to keep it running. Tongue
