"As a tribute to skeeter, innovative blogger and top-rated chess player, we are introducing a brand new
General Forum word game -- The Wheelbarrow Game.
To play, you must respond to the previous post simply by posting the word wheelbarrow. The game
proceeds in the same way, continuously, ad infinitum. In fairness to others, we ask that you refrain
from posting any non-wheelbarrow words (e.g., ennui, intrigue, mashed potatoes).
Our objective is a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records, and to have fun at the same time.
Happy gaming"

@Crowley:
"Sarchasm
1. (n.)
The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
Go to any of the forums to see this phenomenon in action.
Dealing With Trolls:
Rule #1 - Don't feed the troll.
Rule #2 - Seriously, just don't feed the troll. I know it's difficult.
Rule #3 - See Rules #1 and #2.

Words to Ponder:
“The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression. When you see actions taken with integrity, instead of words only, you will then know a soul’s worth.”
―Shannon L. Alder
“Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it...Don't allow his anger to become your anger.”
―Bohdi Sanders, Warrior Wisdom: Ageless Wisdom for the Modern Warrior
“Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.”
―Thomas Jefferson, Letters of Thomas Jefferson

Memo
To my friends, for personal reasons I've decided not to renew my subscription which expires on January 6, 2016. To my almost friends, this will be my final thread on this forum for the foreseeable future. To Russ and his Admin Staff, thank you for an enjoyable experience since July, 2007. Kind Regards, GB"

"This thread is a self-made Grampy Bobby vehicle to attract attention to himself by pretending he is going to leave the site."
“All of us take pride and pleasure in the fact that we are unique, but I'm afraid that when all is said and done the police are right: it all comes down to fingerprints.”* ~David Sedaris, Holidays on Ice
*"fingerprints" which we leave with every post on an internet public forum, eventually to be archived for posterity.
Originally posted by SuzianneWould you describe yourself as opposed to "inflammatory forum combat" and, if so, is this opposition reflected in your own posting history?
This isn't against "those I don't like". This is against a couple of veteran "forum combateers" who engage in rather inflammatory forum combat against a person they have decided was weak.
