Originally Posted By MPierce I knew that, that's why I laid it all on Spirit. I was curious about the ADMIN. also I never got a chance to read them either. I think Denise said they were really tame.
Originally Posted By nbodyhome I read through everything before they turned red, and I don't remember anything that I'd expect to be pulled. The standards are different on every board. I post a lot on RADP, where there are no standards. So I'm used to real arguments and zingers, occasional swear words and innuendo. So everything is tame next to that! But it was a fun thread while it lasted.
Originally Posted By MPierce Oh, and the typical Spirit thread takes on a life of it's own. They useually branch out in three or four different directions, and are always very entertaining. Especially when a battle breaks out. Sometimes I think folks take the forums to seriously. I guess that kind of makes them more fun anyway.

I pointed out that Florida just like Texas had elected a Bush for Governor, and a Bush for President. It even had a little smiley face at the end of it. Heck, I'll probably get another ADMIN. now.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Personally, I think Spirit starts a flamable thread, then sits back and watches to see where everyone will take it. So much of it is really entertaining, enjoyable and educational, I'm really glad I found you people. My son is on his third deployment, 2 very good friends of mine passed away this year, we had to have our dog put down, and with my new boss it looks like my job of 18 years may be on the line, but LP and it's posters have been fantastic therapy for me.
Originally Posted By nbodyhome I didn't see where he was upset. I doubt he'll stay away. I'm sorry, Bobbellee9, for all that happened last year. I hope 2008 is a great year for you (and that you get to keep your job).
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Thanks Denise, had hoped to work at least another 5 years, I enjoy what I'm doing, and would go crazy home all the time. But the new priest seems to want his own people around. My darlin' young son is in the Navy. I know, 90 days without Spirit would be horribly boring!
Originally Posted By MPierce He seemed pretty upset. I finally got to his thread that he started on a sad case of abuse of a young man. I tried to get a message to him, but I think he was already gone. This is what he said.. >> The LP Community was given a great opportunity to reach out and do something great for someone in need and maybe get some positive pub for it. Yet it has chosen to instead go down a very different, playground-like path on other, less consequential -- certainly beyond our control -- matters. Maybe I'll feel differently in a few months, and I'll be back posting here. Maybe I won't. I dunno. << He really sounded depressed.

I'd bet sooner than later he'll be back, but I can't guarantee that. It's a thread I'm unfamiliar with, though.
