She whupped your asses raw,
hahaha..
Nope.
Lois was rude and clueless on the Sobriety thread. Happi could take care of herself, but she made a good point when she said that some folks could be turned away because of someone like Lois.

That was my thought Moosie and Sullly - the sobriety thread.
As I watched it unfold yesterday I was thinking "LEB is gonna get whacked". People warned and she kept on and on and on. And then she was whacked. Not a surprise to me at all.

I have to say I agree with Chris's statement about the fairness of one member being able to dominate and sway all threads in their direction with a large volume of posts. I don't think any forum needs that kind of person around, regardless of the quality of their posts.
Although, high post count users seem to post the most crap.

Ridiculous, if inevitable.

The ending of the last days of the wild west are here as the Taliban has taken over the internet.
Jesse James, Bonnie Clyde's and other outlaws are all being taken down.
All that will be left is the drooling sheep patting each other on the backs.
The police state is alive and well.
Lock all the wolves up to protect the sheep .....

What did I miss this time? Holy Frijole, I can't keep up!
She always has a very tightly controlled "quiet" emasculating approach to everything...
Was it a sheer post count thing or a specific statement?

CMac has his limits. You mess up his threads with political crap, or mess up a serious thread like the sobriety thread with 'it's all about me' posts, you get shown the door. Consider yourself lucky Rox, you detracted from that thread as well.

Brilliant summary from the legendary Karl Baba:
The Loising Point
I have an internet friend named Lois.
She just doesn’t “get it” sometimes.
The truth is we all don’t “Get it” to different degrees about something or another.
But Lois embodies obtuseness in such a way that I realize that a certain threshold of blindness is a cosmic principle in human relationships. We can talk until we are blue in the face but some people will never, ever, ever, ever, Ever “get it”
Get used to it.
“Hey Lois, can you see the nose on your face?”
“I don’t see it. Everybody else’s face seem to have a nose but I can’t see one on me”
“Lois, look way down above your lips, you gotta see it.”
“All I see is a blurry blob. It doesn’t look anything like the nose on your face.”
“Come on Lois, when you have a cold, what’s all the snot come out of?”
“Oh Lord, when it’s cold season my cat gets a cold and her nose drips all over my clean sheets. But me, I’ve never heard anything about any nose that might be on my face”
“Yeah Lois, but I searched on the internet and I found 12 examples of people telling you about the nose on your face.”
“You never can be too sure of anything. I heard of a man whose nose was shot off by his ex-wife, I bet he still get colds and he didn’t have a nose. What do you mean by nose?”
I could go on and on,
and it does go on and on.
But the point is simple.
And that is
When you’ve gone around and around trying to communicate something to someone, made your case clear, logical, documented and presented it from every conceivable viewpoint.
And that person can’t even acknowledge the issue to disagree on.
And when their responses inevitably turn into a self-referential feedback loop
That person will never get your point
But you’ve reached theirs
You’ve
reached
their
“Loising point.”
Any further discussion will only deteriorate into the “Loisification” of the subject.
The self-referential feedback loop will imprint excess bandwidth hum over any further progress in the debate.
The topic is lost and the subject reverts to "Me, Me, Me"

I was MUCH worse on that thread, I was delibertly an asshat; annoying and dismissive of the thread, its purpose and its posters
Wow. Dissing the purpose and the posters?
That's fukkd up man. What gives you the special right to do that when people are trying to find a better way forward in their life?
