Don, let me help. I shall type slowly so this sinks in. Some of the members of Frothers can't stand Bill and his moderating style. They will never like him. That will not change. Some of the Frothers find the right leaning politics on here hard to stomach, especially the UM board. That will not change. Some of the Frothers don't care, they just don't like the atmosphere here, or some of the posters here. They also don't go to some others forums because of some posters.That will not change. Some, like me, don't give a monkeys either way and frequent both boards, among others. That will not change. So what exactly else do you want to talk about? |
Allen57 | 08 May 2015 10:15 a.m. PST |
Lets drop the whole thing. |
MajorB | 08 May 2015 10:20 a.m. PST |
Lets drop the whole thing. Dropping a "flaming bag of poo" could make rather a mess … |
jambo1 | 08 May 2015 10:23 a.m. PST |
Good grief!! This just gets worse every day. |
Cyrus the Great | 08 May 2015 10:35 a.m. PST |
Considering John the OFM posted on Frothers today, go and post as a guest. Discuss whatever you want to discuss. Discuss the imagined "war" between TMP and Frothers and how many over there will have no idea of what you're talking about. |
Winston Smith | 08 May 2015 10:38 a.m. PST |
I/we succeed in posting there maybe once every 10 days or so as a guest. Most of the time I get a message that I am a notorious SPAMmer because of my IP address. Today I was lucky. Or not. |
x42brown | 08 May 2015 10:45 a.m. PST |
I am trying to think as to what's stopping you going to Frothers. What does this link link give you? x42 |
Cyrus the Great | 08 May 2015 10:49 a.m. PST |
If Don kyoteblue was as determined as Winston Smith/John the OFM was to post on Frothers, he could do it. |
Cyrus the Great | 08 May 2015 11:02 a.m. PST |
I don't think DK WANTS to do any of this necessarily, but I think I read he was asked to do so. Editor in Chief Bill
If you want to open a discussion in TMP Talk designed to negotiate peace, feel free to do so. Don, I hereby commission you as TMP's ambassador to Frothers. Please go to their capital and see what their demands are for peace. Report back on the forums.Thank you. I'm telling you not to treat this as a mandate…for your own good. |
Murphy | 08 May 2015 11:30 a.m. PST |
Here are a few questions…. 1: Who are you going to "open a dialogue with"? 2: Like the communists that signed the Paris Peace Agreement over the Vietnam War, do you really, REALLY expect them to follow it and live up to it? 3: If they want to discuss wargames, then they can on their site, and if they wanted to on this site I believe they could, (as well as LAF), but be honest dude…you want to talk about more than just "discussing wargames". 4: If you really want a forum where people can talk with each other, try a chatroom, or skype, or yahoo chat, or something….. You yourself have already said that "It's a fool's errand", so the question I would ask you is, "If you know this, WHY do you keep trying?" |
nevinsrip | 08 May 2015 11:55 a.m. PST |
You really need to get out more. |
Goonfighter | 08 May 2015 12:20 p.m. PST |
Why am I even reading this? |
War Panda | 08 May 2015 1:16 p.m. PST |
I do feel like I was handed a flaming bag of poo…. An interesting, powerful and probably fairly accurate analogy. It's not something I'd waste much of my life deliberating over Blue. Sensible thing is to rid yourself of the flaming bag of poo; (that is probably the most sensible statement I've ever made.) Any other course of action can only lead to eventual alienation and possible burns. Poo burns |
Dynaman8789 | 08 May 2015 1:24 p.m. PST |
> We could talk about miniature war games ? Now your just talking crazy! |
Cyrus the Great | 08 May 2015 1:34 p.m. PST |
I, and others, have given you good advice, which you have chosen to ignore. The rest now falls squarely on your shoulders. |
Earl of the North | 08 May 2015 1:40 p.m. PST |
It reminds me of my mother's old often repeated question……would you jump off a cliff if he told you to? |
Legion 4 | 08 May 2015 2:26 p.m. PST |
Some good posts guys … I agree with much of what is said here. If Don wants to continue to joust at windmills … it must be his … "destiny" ! |
Mako11 | 08 May 2015 3:40 p.m. PST |
I'm with Legion 4 on this. Carry on………………………………………………………………..and on, and………………………………on |
Robert Kennedy | 08 May 2015 4:12 p.m. PST |
Meh. I stopped caring a long time ago. This "war" has not affected me in the least. I don't go there and never will.And like many others feel that a "dialog" would just be useless and pointless.. |
jdpintex | 08 May 2015 5:50 p.m. PST |
Give it a frigging rest dude |
Doug MSC | 08 May 2015 7:56 p.m. PST |
Why did he ask you to do this thing? |
nsolomon99 | 08 May 2015 7:57 p.m. PST |
I think I have to agree with Murphy on this matter. |
Mitochondria | 08 May 2015 10:17 p.m. PST |
I believe sarcasm is something that Don is unable to comprehend. Or He is refusing to acknowledge it as sarcasm and is having his own little tittle at his 15 minutes of internet fame. |
Martin Rapier | 08 May 2015 11:31 p.m. PST |
"I get a message that I am a notorious SPAMmer because of my IP address. Today I was lucky. Or not." I can't even change my password on Frothers without that happening. It doesn't seem to matter as I can still login anyway. What JezEger says is quite correct, and having read the Editors commission, I suspect he may be pulling your leg. Always hard to read tone into internet posts though. Well, bon chance mon brave. |
Lucius | 09 May 2015 3:42 a.m. PST |
TMP/Frothers ranks right up there with the Three Hundred and Thirty-five Years' War. link |

Cyrus the Great | 09 May 2015 8:36 a.m. PST |
Probably ShhhImLagartijaMike, it's his writing style. |
Legion 4 | 09 May 2015 9:30 a.m. PST |
This guy really should get a life … and grow up … |
Cyrus the Great | 09 May 2015 10:25 a.m. PST |
This is what I'm trying to get beyond. You DO realize that even Bill doesn't think that this is a Frother? Editor in Chief Bill Although to be fair, I don't know if ShhhImLagartijaMike is a Frother… And now back to our regularly scheduled program. |
zippyfusenet | 09 May 2015 10:27 a.m. PST |
Forget it, Don. Mac lives for these strafing runs on TMP. I suspect he has little else to live for. It's Mac. Gotta be. |
Winston Smith | 09 May 2015 10:34 a.m. PST |
I doubt even Frothers would welcome La Mike. He's a loner who comes by every couple months to infest the place. Did you ever see the poster of a fat naked guy with long hair and beard sitting at a computer? Draw your own conclusions. La M. I challenge you to go to Frothers and annoy them for a while. I double dog dare you. I TRIPLE DOG DARE you. But you don't have the guts. You're afraid they would treat you like the coprolith from a syphilitic icthyosaur mutant that you are. Not only will they not ban and excise your excrescences, they will point at you and call you naughty names. On a good day. They might even ….. LAUGH at you!!! And they are far more classy than you. Even Mac and Kawabunga Sage! |
Robert Kennedy | 09 May 2015 10:52 a.m. PST |
I love that Zippy . "Strafing run".Heh,Heh. Button pushed. |
ochoin | 09 May 2015 12:35 p.m. PST |
La M. I challenge you to go to Frothers and annoy them for a while Definitely out of line, John, to suggest we send even more of our detritus to Frothers. We've already sent a toxic overload. |
Winston Smith | 09 May 2015 12:59 p.m. PST |
This thread in a nutshell is why this idea is doomed. DOOMED! Each side claims the moral high ground and the other side are cretinous wretches and blackguards. Maybe both are right , but that is the only common ground we share. The consensus from Don K's quest will be a statement calling down a pox on both houses. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 09 May 2015 1:03 p.m. PST |
Forget it, Don. Mac lives for these strafing runs on TMP. I suspect he has little else to live for.It's Mac. Gotta be. Seems to be coming from New York City area, sometimes on a AT&T cell phone server. |
ochoin | 09 May 2015 1:13 p.m. PST |
@ Winston Two dogs barking at each other through a hole in the fence? True enough, I think. |
Legion 4 | 09 May 2015 3:46 p.m. PST |
This is what I'm trying to get beyond. sigh.
Don, you probably can't read this as you stifled me … regardless … The "Person" in question is probably not a Froth member. You can't defeat the world … |
StarfuryXL5 | 11 May 2015 6:23 p.m. PST |
The Editor(s) ask me to do this. Until He tells me to stop, I will keep trying. If he(they) asked you to jump off a bridge would you do it? He's not the boss of you. Just say "no." You're a Supporting Member. You pay cash to help keep the site going. So in a sense The Editor(s) work for you. Tell him(them) to do his(their) own dirty work. |
latto6plus2 | 13 May 2015 6:11 a.m. PST |
All that these Frothers threads seem to achieve is to boost the post count. Just saying… |
