Site Ideas


@Arkturos said
Had no idea you were running the site now instead of Russ.
When you are in one place long enough you begin to decipher the writing on the wall. Unless you're, you know, stupid.


@Arkturos said
Yeah, now that's a good point. Maybe it is better to allow some petty anonymous passive-aggressive dogpiles to prevent the reactor from overheating, so to speak.
Given your demographics, I am surprised you would call someone speaking their mind (or, more concisely, a snapshot of it) a "passive-aggressive dogpile".

You do realize that when voices are silenced, yours would be among the first to go. You do get that, right? How long have I been trying to get this past your women-hating outer guard?

I do wish you wouldn't think of me so often. It's disturbing my wa.
I'm forced to, when you answer every single post I make.

And you realize, I don't really need to hear about your wa-wa, right?


@Arkturos said
That might bring in some more revenue.

Or have you already considered it and dismissed the idea?

Of course if that idea were to be implemented, there should be some notice in advance.
You've had 7 thumbs down for this post, don't you think your idea is dead in the water?

It might surprise you to learn that my OP had no thumbs down before I even posted it.

Also, I don't have the Atreides Blessing.

No I don't. So completely disregarding all the times I have seen a dozen or so notifications about your posts and just deleted all of those without responding.

Also, I saw that a few guys so gallantly came to your defense in other threads. May I ask if you found that behavior sexist and disrespectful, or not?

Don't the smarter people have some kind of obligation to be kind and considerate toward the "stupid" people?

(Completely aside from whether they present themselves as "Christian" or not.)

Furthermore, why were you so quick to take this thread in Site Ideas into personal-attack territory? Why why why?

How ‘bout changing from thumbs up to a diamond and a thumbs down to a hunk of coal?🤔
Hunk of coal seems rather harsh. Maybe something along the lines of broken pretzels or potato-chip crumbs?

Perhaps you could benefit from a change of scenery?

(Pretty sure we would, too.)

I imagine there are other venues where you could do more good and less harm, to yourself and others.

If the brown triangle, which you might know from Whatsapp would be the downvote, some of the less mature might be inclined to use it ore often for the heck of it...
In America I think we're just a day or two away from requiring people to wear a brown triangle over their hearts.


Russ and/or mods, I wouldn't mind if this thread were moved to Debates or somewhere else more appropriate.

On my side, I would oppose the creation of a new "Suzi vs Kevin" forum.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

It's not that I dislike women in general, but I certainly think there is something wrong with you in particular.

So childish of you -- a middle-aged woman -- to twist my words for the sake of your little barb.

I'll say this: if there has been some generational abuse going on in your family, maybe you have an opportunity to "jump tracks" and put an end to it.

Who is writing your story now?

We all have as much agency and free will as we have.

On some social media (don't ask me I'm not on there anymore), you can like a post. I used to be confused when someone would post news of say a bereavement and others would "like" the post.
TU-ing a bereavement post does not mean the thumber likes the loss of a loved one or is glad the loved one is gone. It means the thumber is showing solidarity with the one who lost someone.
