You guys are killing me – LOL. Seriously dying over here in B.C. reading this thread. Like Mr.Cheap my husband also uses VI, but he’s not a fan of my underwear. Go figure. So it’s nice to know there’s at least one man in this world who appreciates a women’s bra nestled on a set of melons.

Now onto that “Good Debt is a Lie” post. I’m still waiting for Cheap to post that rebuttal he promised. I have a thing for smart men who disagree with me.

You know, I wonder if the trolls would even notice. They like the sound of their own voice and to get others riled up. I bet one troll could get another one frothing at the mouth pretty easily. But the thumbs down aspect of the idea would work well in getting them shunted together. And you could just *turn off* that aspect in their forum. Plus, if they tried to sneak into another forum you could either wait for them to be thumbed out of there or you could automatically keep rerouting an IP address that had been designated as a troll back to where they belong.

Yeah, my idea was just to create special forums for trolls and funnel them all into the same room, leaving the rest of the space for those who know how to play nicely together.

Ah yes – an excellent conversation. I had forgotten about that.

You must have a much better memory than I…or maybe you have a framed copy of that thread up on the wall of your bedroom?

Of course! Remember our exchange on editors. I’m just waiting until she sees the light and leaves her husband for me (along with Telly)
