    Again, with the idiots burying a thread in politics, and of course tony is leading the way. No fucking way this thread should have turned into a debate about why people don't like Obama.

    Yeah, I kind of which it would have held off till I was about 60.

    The added job security would have been an extra bonus. :D

    And yet the thread was going along just fine with no one taking shots at anyone ... until you arrived. Strange how it always happens that way.

    No, it was headed down the toilet with post after post violating board policy. We really didn't need the 10,000th thread polluted with your butthurt over the results of the last presidential election, tony.

    Shall we say that no thread started by me shall include the words Obama, Democrat, Republican, conservative or liberal?

    No? YF, what's your stance on that?

    OK. ;)

    CUE THE CHILDREN!

    I know you don't like anyone "owning" a thread. And it's not a bad theory. So I passed it by you ...

    And he's almost as bad as tony with the political cheerleading. A_QB needs to work a little harder to keep up.

    You keep saying dumb stuff, and I'm going to have to reassess my opinion that you're not as dumb as your posting history would suggest.

    It's not that I don't "like" anyone "owning" a thread. It's a statement of fact. Like has nothing to do with it.

    Look, I used to let it bother me too. But you get over it. You learn that threads have tangents. They go where people take them, and as the thread starter, you should have no expectation of controlling this. And, there's no reason to get threads "back on topic". If it's a good topic, it will generate posts.
