For some reason the total woodworking took a down time for an unexplained reason while woodies checked their dictionaries and thesauruses, some french, and wasted lots of 1's and 0's in the pursuit of some vestige of humor.
Where has free speech gone? :confused:

I think this is the appropriate place for this. :D
I think we have a good freedom of speech on this here forum, some of us push the bounderies, :rolleyes: and we know before we push "send", it will get deleted. :D
I dont envy any of the Mods their job.
There is a lot of crud on this "wood" forum, that in other forums is just not tollerated.
Try going to a yank forum and see how far your humour gets you. ( sorry to any Austalianized yanks ).
So, humour is not censored.
I think the biggest problem ( as Sturdee has pointed out ) is that not enough ppl use smilies :) , there is no way to tell from the written word if the person is serious or not.
Al :)
I personally use as my role model for my own moderating activities. He's set a damned good atmosphere for the site.
As for spelling and grammar nazi's - I've seen them get it wrong too often to worry about them, though personally, they can all shove off unless turning it into a joke, and let's face it, there is humour in other people's stuff ups, I just like to enjoy my own (I make enough of them :rolleyes: )
Am I right in assuming this thread came from some other part of the forum? It appears so from the posts above. Good thing it moved ... into my clutches :cool:
I'm not a bottom feeder, I just inhabit the lower regions of the forum - after the heady heights of the wooden boat section, I feel I can afford to slum it a bit. Trouble is, most of the ratbags down here also post in wooden boats :eek:
Have I embarrassed myself yet? It's hard to tell sometimes. Just assume that I have and go back to making your wood chips.

Good moderating, . move it to jokes instead of closing it. theres one in general woodwork that should be down here with it, if im not mistaken, but the way its going it will fall down here by itself shortly.
I really have to congratulate and all the other moderators in here for a job well done with little or no thanks. im sure its easier when we stick to woodworking, but boys will be boys. im 46 and ive got a lot of friends who are older than me who havent grown up yet so i dont have to worry about maturity for a long time yethttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gif

I guess that is why my "Hand on the Mouse" joke got locked?
Sorry fellas, I did not think that joke was so off color, I guess I'll just not post anything like it again.
hard work being a mod, I do not envy them at all.
Cheers!
Fifteen is indeed a goodly number Doug, but twenty would be better.Quote:

Peter.
For those who think this has nothing to do with woodwork, just remember your last conversation amoungst a group of woodies?
Did the topic drift off at all onto this type of drivel? We all have a touch of madness and being able to show it in this forum is waht adds to the appeal.
When we have a serious woodies comment we make it, but when we are just looking to enjoy some conversation we turn to this.
More of it I think, after all you can choose not to read it from the topic.
Soap box free.......
Careful, there be a spalling mistale in their, the speeling nazees wil cum an getcha.
Pedantic mode off ;)
It's nto a spellnig mistaek just two finger typing dislexia that gets me, the fingers get out of sync lol.
