Saint Peter

('Pete's sake'. I have always wondered who pete was .)

I always thought it referred to Saint Peter, the alleged gatekeeper of Heaven.

That seems to be the story going 'round online, too:

St Peter of course! Thanks Tiassa, it saved having to open a thread on the matter.

 

[hypewaders]

Oh, fer Pete's sake.

Off Topic.:itold: Pull yourselves together, people.

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

That was a nice one Hypewaders. Maybe you can help pass some of that spirit through the forums.

 

[hypewaders]

I'm gonna try.

We Can Be Together

[Gustav]

actually string
it is you guys that are providing the entertainment
a cause for mirth and..... embarrassment

lets recap

galt's banning: bad cos it was done for the wrong reason
elevate the rhetoric: good cos it is self evident
good faith: ambiguous to say the least. best left alone
locked threads: indiscriminate>bad. cherry pick>good

you guys are like bulls in a china shop. peasants really

/sneer

 

[hypewaders]

/grrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[Gustav]

This thread worries me.

/cackle

dude! get a second job. smoke crack. feed the hungry
as for this incessant touting of your managerial skills, i aint that impressed at what you have presented here in sci so.........do yourself a favor and stop tooting.

 

[Gustav]

/grrrrrrrrrrrr.

cmon hype
nothing wrong with a few barbed comments b/w friends eh?
no need to get yer panties in a bunch

 

[hypewaders]

/fart

mmm:m:chewchew

 

[Gustav]

We fully understand your subjective reasoning as to why it was wrong,

oh?
pray do tell
furthermore, what would an objective reasoning look like? right as opposed to wrong? who claims this honor?
you?

/snicker

.....as well as your penchant for melodramatic hyperbole (the second fact is why few, if anybody, can actually take a thing you say seriously beyond the impetus for a good chuckle).

dont blame ya at all. you do what you can. it does take an effort to look past the rhetoric and find a pov behind all that verbiage. in any case, the chuckles is a reward in itself. thanks

"it does take an effort to look past the rhetoric and find a pov behind all that verbiage."

Look who's talking.

pardon, m'sieur, you do know i was referencing myself, no?

i got a thank you note from galt in my inbox and i will never ever ever forgive sci for that

/frown

 

[hypewaders]

"you do know i was referencing myself, no?"

I'm sorry.

"i got a thank you note from galt in my inbox and i will never ever ever forgive sci for that"

 

[Gustav]

please nooo
not guantanomo bay!

hmm
a neuron fired...

Why was my post that contained the image of the Iraqi woman, in my thread, deleted? That post was not insulting... so why was it deleted, well after the thread was unlocked to boot? I reposted the image with a different text, in case that was the problem.

 

[superstring01]

It was removed. By re-posting it you broke forum rules. You're lucky that your account wasn't suspended. I'm sure this will garner some diatribe about abuse of authority or other somesuch, but suffice it to say the discussion will not include diatribes and pictures of whatever beautiful woman you feel like including.

~String

 

[WillNever]

Nay, no diatribe.

But why the deletion of the image in the first place? That image was removed halfway through the middle of the night by somebody. That was a good image, and there were no rule violations in any way whatsoever. Was it the image or the text that spurred that deletion?
