this analogy will take you on a journey from the launch rail to the slots of insanity and then to a flipper bumper flipper bumper bounce bang flipper and then to the loop of no return

a "conversation" in the forum is the stainless steel ball

the participants in the "conversation" are bumpers, flippers, and ding-a-lings

launching a "conversation" in the forum is relatively easy
pick any explosive topic and strike a spark

watch the pinball bang-a-rang from one side to the other

occasionally flippered back into play from one distraction or another and in the direction of eternal chaos down the chute of ill repute

beware the capture holes and the blue meanies

what were we talking about?

I played so much of that as a teenager, I don't even want to see a machine. I don't know how much money I pumped into those.

We're talking about these forums, as a whole - not pointing fingers at individual posters, decidedly meaning the aggregate - being deaf, blind, and above all dumb.

Best metaphor for public media that I've ever come across. Thanks rookie!
