BFM, point taken, thank you.
Surely sometimes the mud has to be "moved a little", just to see what lies beneath it?
BTW, I am English and really do not know what the term "deep-sixed" means. If I don't know what it means (although I have my suspitions) there are probably others who also do not understand, KISS, remember?

what is this? another proof of thoughtlessness??

Yep, "Ordnung muss sein!"

Do not question their validity!
Do not think that logic, ethics or common sense has any bearing!

Paps,

ACK! Second [public] warning of the day, you get three with me in a week and you get a real warning. But remember I am trying to be the nice guy.

The thread is controversial, yes, but limit your comments to actual events. People trying to be pundits, make predictions or expressing opinions - whether positive or negative - will be deep-sixed.

The ice - it is thin...

Surely a public warning should serve as an example to all, however only if the comment is visible. I cannot find what Pappy wrote to upset you, so assume you deleted it. So what was the point of the public warning?

Ian,

Good point. But that one had to go.

This forum is getting more and more confusing. Not sure what Mr Nice Guy is trying to say here, deep-sixed?¿? Like in; throw overboard? or, get rid off? or, move? or, displace? or, propel? or, impel? or, discard? or, fling? or, toss? or, toss out? or, toss away? or, chuck out? or, cast aside? or, dispose? or, throw out? or, cast out? or, throw away? or, cast away? or, put away? or, to dispose of, discard, or get rid of: “The board of directors deep-sixed the proposal without even reading it.” This phrase is derived from the noun “deep six,” meaning burial at sea and referring to the depth of water necessary for such a burial. The term was later used as slang for a grave (customarily six feet underground) and, by extension, as a verb meaning “to kill.” or, or, or…

We are not supposed to express our opinions no more or what? I mean, if we are not supposed to express our opinions, what the heck are we doing in a forum then? I thought that a forum is a place were people meet to express their opinions? Of course, I may be wrong…

I asked the same question about the "deep sixed" thing, it appears to have been overlooked!

Nah sjb, moddies are just busy deleting posts elsewhere…

[stilljustbrowsing]

I kant believe you're serious, didn't you see the chalk dust?

[stilljustbrowsing]

Oh yea! This is good! "we are the one, we are the world...." A post within which there appears to be an element of unity!
