C'mon man. There's no need for that. Nobody wants anyone to leave. I know I don't, and I'm one of those cry babies, I guess. (you got something to say Egan, you know where my pm box is, don't sling crap and expect not to get called on it)
Seriously though, Peckery, many of us have stepped over the line, purposely or not, and now all is forgotten. This is a very forgiving crowd, and honestly, that whole thread was out of my mind a week ago.
I will say this, though it may get me in trouble; that last slap you got on the wrist, I wouldn't have made that call. Sounds WAY over the top to me. But I'm sure he's got his reasons.
I just wish we could all go back to two weeks ago and move on.

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."

There isn't one person here who at one time or another hasn't said something that wasn't side tracked just for the fun of it. I know I have done it many times myself.
Some people takes life too seriously, some people doesn't take life serious at all, but there are more of us who takes life both ways and we get along better because of it.
I have thought of starting a thread called "Side Tracks" so if someone wants to post something in it and it got side tracked to another subject, then another, then another, then so what. That way when ever you post something in it, you won't be side tracking from the subject at all.
So just hang in there, everything will get smoothed out soon enough and it will all blow over.

Richard, one of the Thunderbird boards I frequent has a thread like that. Hi-jacking is against the rules over there too, but this one was just crazy. So the lead admin let it go and renamed it "THE MOST HIJACKED THREAD IN HISTORY"
8 pages, and only 6 posts were on topic. I'm afraid it's getting too commonplace over there now though.
C'mon Monkey Boy! You're part of this forum. No matter what anyone else thinks of your posts, I've always enjoyed the wacky, off the wall stuff. I hope you reconsider.

Normal is a relative term. For some reason it is not a term my relatives use to describe me.
What would a monkey do at the polar ice cap???? Who will darn his little sock eyes when the polar bears bite them off?
Better come back down here where it's warmer and Sockabelle can darn your little monkey eyes.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
