@very-rusty saidAt some point, that once cushiony welcome mat will be pulled from beneath your feet.
LOL@ wolfy, That is Suzie Q's, you stole this from her. She usually is the one to say this. Can you not think of anything on your own? 😉

It's becoming thread-bare and much worse for the wear.

What do steal?
You are a burglar but you only steal things whose loss slightly inconveniences your victims.
What do you steal?
I don't see the word imaginary anywhere in this. What am I missing here wolfy? 😉
I still say: I would not steal!

@very-rusty saidIt is an imaginary scenario. The creator of the OP wasn't suggesting we go out and steal anything.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOk but you & wolfy are assuming this, it isn't said directly! 😉

Also it is not what the OP stated!
What you steal is suppose to just slight inconvenience the person or persons.

@very-rusty saidSeriously Rusty. (And I mean this). It is sometimes ok to assume the obvious.

These kind of scenarios in the GF are almost always imaginary/hypothetical.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou mean it was obvious to you!

And you were quick to assume it was harmless because of where it was coming from and poster who made it.
Lets say it was me who made the same thread. Would you have the same reaction to it? 😉

@very-rusty saidAs you rightly say, the creator of a thread is a key factor and made it obvious in this instance that the thread was imaginary/hypothetical and not a call for people to go out stealing.

It wasn't necessary to spell it out.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou still never answered my question. You're avoiding to give an answer to a simple question.

Would you have the same opinion if I was the one who started the thread? 🙂

@very-rusty saidyou have stolen time
I still say: I would not steal!
time that can never be recoup
the only thing you've left in return
is a gigantic pile of poo
@very-rusty saidAs usual, you cannot see the forest for all the trees.
One of the problems I see here is that some people preach, but don't practice what they preach, would that not make them hypocrites.
Perhaps if they actually practiced what they preached they may get listened to and taken seriously, in my humble opinion as always.
