I moved it back. Stop dumping your unwanted threads into the Random Chat forum, G-Man. That's what the O/T Forum is for. Thank you.

Sorry, it just seemed more random and chatty than offensive.

but wouldn't it have been easier to move it directly to the off topic forum?

Yes, but, then you wouldn't have gotten the message.

The only reason I'm saying this is because I noticed a habit of dumping unwanted Deep Thought threads into Random Chat. If it's actually chatty, and, not just someone spammingRX3forRX3attentionRX3, then, yeah, sure. It goes into Random Chat. But, if it's just, you know, nonsense, then, it goes to the O/T.

Think of it like this, G...if Deep Thoughts is the pseudo-serious auditorium where the Republican and Democratic conventions are held, then, Random Chat is the coffee shop located next door. And, the Off-Topic is the bar from Roadhouse....

No hey problema. "Your" forum. "Your" rules.

It just seemed to fit better with such "random" threads as "I'm the guy on the throne," "Really Cute Kittens," "Guess My Cooke and Win an Alt ID" and "hehe," to name a few.

However, I bow to your jurisdiction in this area.

As the other DT mod, I gotta admit that it's sometimes difficult to determine which threads are Random Thoughts worthy and which aren't.

I mean, if the threads the G-man cited above are any indication, then Random Thoughts threads are allowed to be pretty off topic. At the same time, if I just stick to Pro's coffee shop definition, a lot of threads (including, again, the ones G-man listed) just don't belong there.

But, like G-man, I wouldn't even dream of trying to tell any other mod how to do his or her job. RTs is what Pro, UJ, and Rob say it is, and I'll go by that. And if I gotta fail, I'll fail conservatively.

For what it's worth, I apologize for any undue clutter I've caused your forum UJ and Pro. If I move a thread to one of those forums in the future, I'll pay more attention to which of the two I send it to.

Shhh...they thought I was the only one moving threads, remember?

Dammit, Wednesday, do you have to bring your right wing politics into every thread?

@ Wbam!!

Listen, I think everyone is putting far too much thought into this than I expected. I was making a bit more of a half joke, than anything.

Wednesday, as far as threads getting dumped into Random Chat, I'm not bitching. Just pointing it out. Random Chat may be the older bitch-sister to O/T, but, I would like to think it could become something more defined than that. I just felt that the natural reaction to moving things out of DT was to immediately drop it into RCh. Which is then my job to move it on the O/T. I'm not upset about it. I just wanted to voice my thoughts on how I percieve it, and see if we can find a defining line from how to judge.

I'm a detecting a bit of the patented 'G-Man-holier-than-thou-on-the-cross' attitude. I'd rather not think that was the case, as you are not the one to be pointing fingers when it comes to calling something "your" forum, and all that. Hello? Kettle? But, I'll just accept that I am misreading the intent, and move on.

Your examples are point-worthy, except that I have chosen to leave them there, as either alot of people were talking in them, and I didn't see any harm (as that is what I consider "chatting"), and/or, I had yet to even open them to see what it was about (in the case of Nowhereman's 'cookie' thread).

If something is complete nonsense (and certainly don't play like you don't know the difference) then it's obvious it goes here, in the O/T. If there is an actual discussion that doesn't fall within the guidelines of your strictly mandated FOX News forum, then, I expect you to drop it into Random Chat (which I plan to petition be called 'CNN Forum' for equal measure).

In the end, my entire, tiny, simple point was this: I know that both mods in the Poli-News Forum are intelligent and discerning. I also know that if they choose to move a thread, then, that means they've read it and have determined it doesn't fall within the criteria of what they believe their forum should be. Therefore, if it IS complete nonsense, and/or, is simple mental masturbation for the few posters that love attention, then, please, drop it into O/T. If you feel it is a legitimate discussion, but, doesn't meet your standards of deep thinking, then, by all means, drop it into Random Chat.

It's really as simple as that...

I used quotes around "your" because, even though this is "your" forum and DT is "our" (Wednesday and my) forum, ultimately they're all actually Rob's forums.

We're just the "hired help" to his cruel but fair message board plantation boss.

Works for me.

I think the use of the phrase "hired" as opposed to, say, "involuntary" makes it okay.

Of course, we're all paid in "Kamphmarks"...

maybe instead of "plantation boss" I should have said we're like hired hands to his cruel but fair ranch boss.

And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

We Shall Be Free"

This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, and walk proud
'Cause we shall be free

When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, stand straight, have a little faith, walk proud
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
We shall be free
