I was into that once, but then I realized I was just beating a dead horse.

You know, we've seen that in this community before...

Ponyamory? Oh, yes, I remember: the day that I called up my friends list, and couldn't immediately tell whether the community post I was reading was from polyamory, stupidpetowners, or bad_sex.

Good times, good times.

Really? I thought all the previously-referenced Close Encounters of the Equine Kind featured *live* animals...

I'm wondering how many posts on the same topic we're going to have to cover.

Because this is three so far. Do you think there's a chance we could hit five?

My bet is that we're going to keep having additional posts--every post is straying further and further away from the original issue, which means eventually there will be a post which most people will agree with, and then the OP can go "HA YOU GUYS WERE ALL MEANIES THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THIS UP I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT"

It's like watching the Michael Phelps coverage, only sucky.

You leave Phelps alone, man. He is singlehandedly restoring his good surname (since there's another Phelps and his family doing their best to trash it) and even if he (and his team) shave five whole seconds off a world record and no one gets close to him (or them) ever, it's still awesome.

And after the supreme disappointment that is our entire gymnastics complex this Olympics, we need Michael Phelps more than ever.

Oh, no, I was only alluding to the breathless counting-obsessed coverage, not Phelps himself.

The swimming, the swimming is AWESOME.

Oh wonderful, that fucking prat again.

I wonder how long until they lock comments or delete the post. Shouldn't doing that be justification for banning because it stifles the discussion in the community?

Actually, yes, freezing or disabling comments is against the rules. Users who do so are notified and given a chance to re-enable, and if they don't, they are banned. We don't just ban people off the bat.

I had to translate it into "hitting dead animals" and then remember this was in reference to the poly community of "my wife says neigh" fame. Then it clicked. And whinnied slightly.

You've got to work royalty in there somewhere because we've definitely got a not-so-inner drama queen at play here.

"Must we SUFFER?!!?! OMGWTFBBQeecummings!!!!"
Not necessarily.
"But... but... we're oppressed and tormented and..."
Not really.
"You're oppressing me!!!!"
Not even close...

I am thinking of the children! I care about them so damned much (but not, y'know, in a creepy Michael Jackson sort of way 'cuz that's all gross and stuff) that I am putting myself in the spotlight center of attention line of fire so that they can avoid the admiration adulation ire of the community as a whole!

I CARE, DAMMIT!!!!!one-ty-teen!!1111!!!|||
