I came home today and was lookin for this thread but i couldnt find it. I was thinkin WTF did the mods delete it! I didnt realize it was renamed, gotta love the new title.
Lets keep this goin people...!
This thread has served its purpose and should end right now!
What do you think? Next!
I called my Congressman (whom is on my speed dial) and left a message to see if this thread is OK to continue. I've called him in the past about TV shows that are iffy to watch. Old movies that aren't PC. Talk shows that contain violence. Cable movies that show adult situations. Each time he has told me to "turn the station" but I would come back and tell him "it's my right to watch these and complain"
I just hope this isn't one of their "2 day work week"

Dumb question what was the original question that started this. It looks like this is the latest reincarnation of what ever this was.

Ah, once again you prove you're far too clever for the likes of us. We don't deserve you as a moderator.
And since it seems anything goes in this thread, and I've been biting my tongue for months, let me blow my bilges. It's about time someone said something to you in return. I'll assume constructive criticism travels the opposite way down the pipe.
A few days ago you locked a thread with this:

Since when does a volunteer moderator make policy for Kalmbach's forums? I'd like to hear the above from Bergie, if that is the policy.
If I worked for Kalmbach, any volunteer moderator that was telling my customers to take a hike if they don't like what one individual -- not an employee -- has decided would be the standards, he'd be the one taking the hike. And while I may be a jerk, I still don't like your oft-condescending attitude to members, either.
If you're so attuned to resolving complaints by members about posts, what about complaints about moderators? Who handles those?
Now I'll see how long this lasts before the warden takes it down.

I waved at the neighbor gal today as I drove by her house. I saw no one trackside today, the police seem to be doing their usual fine job.

We have three wimen, Nikki, Lisa, and Tara. They keep the men at bay.

ummmmm, which Hector? The one who lives by de sweetch?
You know, last Thursday I went to work early to get a jump on the day and two things happened that I felt were sad commentaries on the human condition.
Thingy #1:
I walked up to the job trailer to unlock all of the padlocks (it's Milwaukee - you can't keep them out just slow them down until they figure it is too much work to rob you and give up) and I looked over to the east side of the alley and discovered that in addition to the used baby diapers that have been sailling down from the apartment building next door they decided to just throw out the whole crib. So now I get enjoy baby poo and baby cribs. Ever needed a snow shovel in July? I've got a reason, if you can't think of one......
Thingy #2:
My day was almost over, and I was helping our guys take out the garbage (except we actually put it dumpsters, unlike the local folk). While outside next to a row of 4 outhouses that were set for the construction workers, I noticed some movement in between 2 of them as I walked by. I asked the guy what he was doing, and he told me that he was taking a ****. I told him he was trespassing, and that if he really had to go he should at least GO INTO ONE OF THE OUTHOUSES AND PEE and not lay down a big puddle that we all got to walk in at the end of the day on the way out to our trucks. He looked at me like I was retarded and finished up, and the left the site. After my incident in the morning (see #1), I wasn't surprised at all.
Why the stories? Well, I thought I would swing by the good ole' train forum for a laugh or two and after reading this thread I feel that I am still in the hood of Milwaukee. Glad to see that we've accomplished so little in so much time.
I'm waving with one finger.
Now we're a hood?
Very cool. WEST SIDE!

Last hood I was in got shot up. Actually, the only way I survived that hood was by wearing a hood. Tis why I am in Iowa now, but not on the West Side.
