This thing will just not freeze. Maybe all the posters have been drinking anti-freeze?

You'd think that "Mrs. Goulet" instead of "Ms. Goulet" would have been enough.


Anybody out there that can score some Ice-9?


This is how we do it here in Upper Baja. Local boy Ted "cold as ice" Williams.


Will remove on request. Ssome things are just going too far.

OK, just got the first request (from a family member). Use judgment in approaching this webpage.

Dear Forum,

We have added a new administrative policy: freezing threads that have devolved mostly into personal attacks.

This is looking like an excellent decision.

Nice work, Chris.

I liked hearing the SuperTaco climber side of political beliefs once in a blue moon but it seemed too easy for some people to go off on other people on the computer since they are not in their face in real life. It's like having road rage from the safe confines of your vehicle when you would never do that to the persons face, maybe. Another good idea + action by CMac imo. Rock Talk should be the fuel that stokes the fire in this campground.

Guns are not allowed in the civilized parts of Marin county.

Civilized debate about income inequality isn't countenanced in Marin, either.

three or more outbusts and your house burns down,


I had a roommate in my undergraduate days who was getting tired of people interrupting science classes with political tirades. He proposed that if it happened once, they get a pie in the face. If it happened twice, their hair was set on fire (this was, after all, Berkeley), because it was hard to take someone seriously when their hair was burning. I didn't want to tell him that it seemed to have the opposite effect for people facing Blackbeard.

It's not that hard to carry on a ruled debate or conversation. Really no need to attack people or their positions.

A few dumb as#$% cut down our victory tree in high school. It was an Orange Tree, our High School was Orange High, and it was planted in the center of our student quad area. They were a few rebellious kids from the senior class. I was a junior and our entire junior class suffered the consequences of their actions. They graduated but we no longer got the rights and privileges they had.

Long story to say it's kinda what's happening here. A few steal the privileges and threads from the rest of us. The great content contained in some of these deleted or frozen threads is lost to us because of the thoughtless actions of a few.

Jess sayin' on a beautiful Wed. night. Cheers, lynnie

Well we have lost some very enjoyable discussions because a couple people do not like the topic. SO they now use this new policy to get rid of the topic. They actually are behaving worse due to your efforts to make thing better here.

Chris I feel for you, generally speaking this policy has made for a more pleasant atmosphere here. However it does appear that it has allowed a couple bullies to simply get anything they want removed.

I don't like being bullied by childish individuals. I really don't like seeing people I know bullied that way either.
