Stayed too long,

This is a discussion of history. Only the context is politics. I figure if it stays civil, it might not get deleted.

 

Nope. Sorry i did not see it sooner.

I thought politics was off limits? 

It is.

No cones to report, but a lot of activity is being watched. I thought the Marco and Laura cones were just awful.

I sent you a private message and hid a separate thread over concerns for your privacy. Please take a look at your private messages and respond.

Welcome to GSC.

In an abundance of caution, we've hidden a recent thread that, in our view, contained enough personal information to "out" the person who posted it, affecting not only him but his family. We've advised the original poster of that risk and asked if he's willing to take it.

To be clear, the poster did not say or do anything to violate GSC policy and we are acting only in an abundance of caution.

Thank you for understanding.

"These rules are meant to encourage civil, courteous discussion. They are not meant to stifle your freedom of expression. We want everyone to have a voice here; please use yours wisely and considerately."

As you were, gentlemen.

You are.

Welcome back.

Feel free to familiarize yourself with our "fair use" policy.

Carry on.

I found this on a website about the Noahide laws- In keeping with gsc guidelines, I am not going to send you to the website_ if you want  further info- let me know:

THIS IS NOT THE GSC RULE.

THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE GSC RULE.

Please minimize extensive quotes from another website, and make sure you provide the link/credit when you do!

Thank you to everyone for making this particular moderating task so easy.

So the offending post was deleted, and every post that referred to it afterward as well. Which is to say, every post afterward.

Thanks for playing, and thanks for the humor you found in the situation. I almost hated deleting some of the wittier replies. Almost.

Play nice.

Margie, did this ever get resolved?

I hope you see this and answer.

Apologies for my failure to approve this question on a more timely basis. We are not notified when questions are pending. Now we know.

Sorry, I misspoke.  What I meant to say is:  "There's no 'reason' for 'LIFE', so there's no reason to exist after 'life' in any form.   That is, there's no big answer to "We are alive because...."  thus no reason for life,  so there's no great significance to it-  other than whatever significance we GIVE it.  So, likewise, there would be no 'reason', no big answer, that accompanied death. 

Accepted.

Electric Bugaloo 

The unofficial subtitle of every unnecessary sequel. You're up.

Because it's not correct:

And I can dance with you honey, if you think it's funny,

[title] that you're out?

Raf

Knight Rider is correct.

David Hasselhoff's ex wife, Catherine Hickland, later married soap opera actor Michael Knight.

William Daniels, voice of KITT, is never credited.

No.

This is not up for discussion.

The original thread that was locked and hidden was initially allowed to continue as long as it did not venture into politics. We made it clear that the thread would be locked and hidden if it began to get political. The avoiding of politics did not last ONE POST. 

It is possible to discuss your walk as a member of your faith without promoting a conspiratorial view about what other people want by "infiltrating" your religion.

And it is possible to explore whether your faith is consistent with a group of people who claim to embrace it even though they engage in conduct or beliefs or whatever that seem to be in conflict with that faith.

What we're not going to do here is host a discussion about the gay agenda's desire to infiltrate the Catholic church as part of a socialist plot.

This is the end of the discussion. Up until this point we have been taking action on posts and threads only. We urge you not to compel us to extend that to posters. It's not necessary, and the parsing of "is this politics or not" is not worth it.

Move on.

It is Over the Hedge (named Steve by the squirrel, played by Steve Carrell).

Your move.

Raf posting:

The only Vietnam war starring a TV star with a supporting role by an Oscar winning (later) actor that I know of is Casualites of War, though I am not aware that its director, Brian De Palma, has ever won an Oscar. He's entertaining (Untouchables, Carrie), but not Oscar winning that I know of.

I should say: The main actress is probably best known for this series, but probably not well known at all.

One of the main actors was better known for a later series. The other was better known for an earlier series.

-- Raf

That's correct! Ish.

--Raf

Correct.

I had a long running gag on social media concerning the astonishing fact that Vigoda was still alive.

This running gag ended in Jan. 2016

Ding ding ding!
