"Punished For Talking About Bill's Features" Topic

Bill,

And by "feature", I don't mean your looks either.

Thanks a lot! A sign of the new PC-nuts times, is it?

Either call it something different, or else don't punish* others for talking about them.

You know, I've always defended your right to be wrong . . . until now.

Listen--hear that? Yup it's quiet now, the baby Jesus has quit crying! :)

What exactly are we not suppose to discuss so I will know what I am not suppose to talk about.

Anybody got a link or has it all been purified by Bill's thought police?

LLC aka Ron

Bring it on.

If you speak about the feature, you will be made to disappear!

Cool!

So Bill's thought police are making your thread disappear if you talk about the thing you use to make others disappear from a thread.

Wow! That's cosmic dude.

LLC aka Ron

Yep.

Bill's website, Bill's rules.

Bill's website: Understood
Bill's TMP features: Understood
But, all of a sudden, you can't mention them?: Dumb

Like I said, I've always defended his right to be wrong . . . until now.

So what could not be talked about?

I still like your posts!

Today I don't even like my posts!

I am pizzed, like I have not been in a very long time . . .

. . . ever since I was grounded for borrowing my brother's car (with permission, mind you). And after filling up the tank and washing and waxing the damn thing. Made no sense.

This makes no sense.

Might be a small thing, but it is clearly stupid, and I won't simply "take it".

CC

Bill's website, Bill's rules.

It wasn't my idea, but the TMP community did vote to have a moratorium on the subject of It.

Thanks goodness CA is gone and all strife and discontent with it. Everything is happy if you just make it disappear.

LLC aka Ron

*sigh*

This one is not a question of "Bill's House, Bill's Rules" for once (which people seem to like or dislike as and when it suits them, chanting it like idiots when they agree).

This one was democracy in action, as voted on by the membership. The moratorium proposal won by a single percentage point, 42% to 41%, I believe it was.

If you don't like it, then go live in Russia, or whatever the equivalent of that phrase is nowadays. Florida or somewhere, I imagine.

THE PEOPLE have spoken. God bless/save America/The Queen (delete as appropriate).

Bill,

And since when is this a democracy!

Your place, so it should be your rules! Since when are businesses a democracy?

Even corporation members don't all get the same voting power.

Don't go all PC on us. I can't take any more PC krap. I deal with it too much on a daily basis and this is one of my very few refuge sites anywhere.

CC

You sound like a tabloid newspaper. What the hell does this have to do with political correctness?

Folks were just sick of all the whining and bitching about… that thing we must not speak of.

I dream of the day when I see a topic that says:"The topic about it being removed has also been removed" ad infinitum.

I had a dream about Kelly Rowland the other night.

It was a good dream.

I would have preferred a dream about Jamelia, but it would seem my subconscious and I do not agree on that point. Anyway, it was nice.

meh

Hey, since we aren't allowed to talk about it how come we can still do it?

Or has it been relegated to back seats of large American sedans and alleys?

Sorry. Businesses are businesses and not democracies. Hurray capitalism.

I guess it's different with socialists who all think they have the same rights.

CC

"It is. And it is not. When it is, and when it is not, is the question or the answer or both or neither."

LOL. Goldwyrm, do I have your permision to use that?

CC

Thou shalt not utter or whine about the "S" word.
But here's a nice picture that should explain everything

Note: that link is possible NSFW

That explains nothing. I don't care though.

Ohh, it's that this were not talking about here. Got it.
I don't understand why anyone talks about it anyway.

The rules say don't, so don't. It isn't hard really. Watch.

I got 100+ BF Evo troops at GenCon for $20, that was cool.

See, didn't mention it at all.

Goldwyrm, do I have your permision to use that?

I'd say of course. Words are free.

Regardless of the thought having arrived in my head and being expressed through my keyboard, you may also have to ask Bill's permission to use it per his copyright rules since it currently resides on his website. But wait…just for you, I'm deleting my comment so you can freely use it elsewhere.

Tin Dictator,

Love that photo.

Goldwyrm,

What have you done!

Now all those who think they have an equal say on what is done in TMP are also going to want an equal share in the royalties!!!

They are going to kill you now.

The first rule of (snip)…

so AFTER the 'moratorium' can I add 'the word that must not be said'….sorta like he who must not be named? to the 'naughty' words that you CAN say on TMP without being 'bleeped', snipped or DH'd?????

sorta our own personal version of George Carlin's '7 Words you can't say on Radio or Televion' (or internet sites…) only IN REVERSE?

Did I mention that thanks to a mis-dosing of some of my medications last night that I had a very VIVID, recurring dream about INTIMATE interplanetary 'relations' with a very sensual shape-shifting energy being, while riding a whirlpool of molten metal out past Titan with a lovely view of the RINGS OF SATURN?

I had to wake up at least three times to go 'slish' but when I dropped back into sleep I 'picked up' right where I left off in the dream!?

It was GLORIOUS and she/it was FANTASTIC! Lest you think me totally a 'perv', I will mention that 9 out of 10 such 'segmented dreams' (dropping back in, after a 'commercial break') are NOT as much fun…and in fact…have caused me to finally get up outta bed for a couple of hours…

This is because IF I don't stay up for at least 30 minutes…I STILL go back into the SAME dream 'where I left off' and that is not COOL!

My doctor said it was one of those 'potential side effects' that adding the higher dose of the second 'anti-depressant' to my regular regiment…but NOT quite as serious as other 'potentially' serious 'side effects' like liver failure and DEATH….(I should stop taking med and contact my doctor if anything like that happens!! Well, DUH!)

What has that got to do with CC's 'viewpoint?'

I'm not sure. I like Bill, I like CC, I like John the OFM and a lot of other folks on TMP. I don't always agree with or even understand SOME things, some of the time, but I do try to be 'supportive'…or at least empathetic?

I've dealt with a LOT of stuff in my life where things just don't 'make sense'…from government and tax/propterty issues to ex-spouses and attorneys or even product warranties and return policies.

I've come to the conculsion there are just some things that I don't/can't/won't understand and many of them I will not like, but 'that's the way it is/was/will be' as Unca Walter would have said. (I miss him!)

So Hugs and Best SLISHES to all…and hopefully…things will 'settle down' for everyone and 'this too shall pass'…like the TOXIC remnants of the double-hot-chile-cheese with extra refried beans, 'Burrito Supreme of BUMFLAMING DEATH!'

and then the 'healing' (and air-freshening) can begin!

By the way…on the photo (NSFW)….what has that got to do with fish and bicycles….OH! nevermind….ewwwwww!

Sgt DWW-bartentacle on duty!

So, if Bill had just inflicted the moratorium by fiat, people would be outraged. So he put it up to a referendum which said yes to the moratorium. And still, people are outraged.

Move on folks – its just a website.

It is.

Or not depending.

Headed to the liquor store right now . . .

PS. Maybe I'm just tired in general. I miss the wife, the dogs and home (in that order). Two more weeks to go (barring any hurricanes).

I don't understand a damn thing about all this.
Anyone had a good game lately? FT for me later this week.

No game, and no "game" in quite a while. Driving me nuts!

CC

I'm sorry to see you so mad like this CC. Ever since I've been on here you've been such a happy, helpful and enthusiastic chap. (No, really – I'm not taking the mikey.)

Sorry. Truly am.

I'm not being myself today. I think I'm just really tired overall today. Having a migraine doesn't help either. No excuse though.

Maybe I'll be my old self tomorrow.

CC

ah ha… I found it. This is the vote in question. Enjoy… or not… whatever

TMP link

I am confused.

This thread seems to be talking about what can't be talked about.

The spirit of Donald Rumsfeld lives.

Wasn't Kelly Rowland that bloke out of Dexy's Midnight Runners? Jockey Wilson says….
wish i knew what it was I'm not allowed to mention….the first rule of Fight Club….

CC,

Please go back to the already scheduled programming of asking questions about various things 15mm. You will be much happier. I promise.

Jeff

Nuke it from orbit!

It's the only way to be sure…..

Chrono, that's Kevin Rowland. He's the one that haunts your dreams, remember…

The people have expressed their will. The autocrats bow before the might of the proletariat. Hail the Workers and Gamers of the World! Everyone join in:

So, if Bill had just inflicted the moratorium by fiat, people would be outraged. So he put it up to a referendum…

Well, it was Lentulus who asked for the vote…

Somehow I wanna blame all this kerfluffel on the OFM being in the DH.
Without his leadership we are reduced to chasing our tails and eating our young. (the public vote being 'our tail' and CC being 'our young'… I hear he's mighty tasty in a chipotle marinade).

Bring back the Black Tongue of Dementia!

And here I am thinking the "unmentionable" was Baltimore
