I feel that such behavior is detrimental to the community feeling in the TFP.

See I never really have seen a Carno thread because I don't venture much into TFP like I used to. I stick to things I like and just don't look at other things.... (my problem I should venture out more.)
Anywhoooo, I saw this thread and read it. I didn't see it as a "troll" or as sour grapes. I truly saw it as a man who was fed up and wanted to show that there would be people in this political forum, that would take this thread meant as a joke/test and turn it into a fight.
The joke have an opinion on something inconsequential and have at it.... have a sense of humor, satarize and make a parody of politics and release some stress.
To me, I loved it..... I loved being able to let loose and share my sense of humor and maybe have someone laugh. And I loved the way most people jumped in and let themselves loose and enjoy a harmless thread.
So Carno made disparaging remarks somewhere.... I never saw them nor knew about them. So I was not participating in anything but a fun for me thread.
My God, some of you sound like John Lithgow in "Footloose" or Ted Knight in "CaddyShack" or some of those other old bitties from 80's movies, who refused to allow others to have fun.
You have to ask yourselves when you became so fucking high and mighty and judgemental over where and when people could have fun and humor and when that judging included taking everything so seriously that even a goof off thet truly could not hurt anyone, became what you believe to be a shot at you and your friends (actually, it's quite egotistical to believe that this whole thread and all these silly posts were aimed at an elite few).
I close on the old saying.... "if you can't laugh at yourself..... you are taking life way too seriously and you need to go watch a 3 stooges marathon."
I wish to thank Carno for this thread and injecting some humor and fun into the Politics Forum.
And I wish to truly thank the mods responsible for allowing this to continue and having a go at it themselves....
No ass-kissing, just I truly enjoyed this thread and I needed the laugh it gave me. Had this been in any other forum, it wouldn't have been as funny and I would have probably never seen it. Sometimes, we need to inject humor into something we take too seriously so that we can come down off our tangents and see how far off our true beliefs we have gotten.
