Yo, pinhead! Mike is one of the founding fathers here, and one of our most valuable resources. You, on the other hand, have contributed nothing of value to this site. I'd strongly suggest that you move along, remove any links to this site from your Favorites folder, and spend your miniscule mental abilities trying to make /. a better place.

who invented the idea of using missles to cleanup Al-Qaeda "training camps" in Afganistan? According to CNN, these camps consists of dozens of mojos doing push ups, climbing ropes and shooting rocks with cheap AK-47s.How much would it cost to build a camp with a few ropes? Do you think missles are a little too expensive for these non-assets? Time to send in the PowerPuff girls. :suss:

CillyMe wrote: "The Lounge is a place where you can discuss anything that takes your fancy. If you just want to laze about and discuss things that don't quite fit elsewhere, then this is the place." Yes, but the next line is about the "kid sister" guideline. While I appreciate that your original post is technically within that guideline, the general subject can be turned into a napalm-fuelled-flamewar very easily (eg, is US military action in Iraq and Afghanistan the correct thing to do?), and that's why we have the Soapbox forum. I also think that while you've been somewhat unfairly criticised, rising to it ("Shutup morons") didn't help you at all :doh: It's also very hard to "laze about" when your political or religious ideologies are being attacked :-D Lazing about means making Badger Badger Badger Mushroom jokes, asking people non-controversial questions (eg, Megan's screen resolutions topic), and complaining about a lack of black CodeProject T-Shirts in the store (that's my personal whinge :-)) CillyMe wrote: Last time I check you don't own the board. Heh. See that hammer icon next to Mike's name? That means he's one of the people who put code or time or both into developing the site for the rest of us - while that doesn't give him actual ownership of the forum, he does get a great deal of respect from the rest of us, because we appreciate the effort that goes into this making this site as good as it is. That does give him a kind of moral ownership and as a result of that, we're more inclined to agree with him. And he does make a good point about lurking and getting a feel for the forum and the topics that have been deemed acceptable by the consensus of the regular posters (hence the unwritten "Politics, Religion and Sport" rule). I've been a CP member for a year now, and posting on a regular basis for about 8 or 9 months - I've been made to feel extremely welcome, and have generally got along in a civil manner with everyone (even Terry O'Nolley), because I take care over what I post. I hope that you can consider my reply to you as friendly advice - just apologise for calling people morons, be more careful about the subjects in future, and I think you'll find you're made quite welcome..... -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

Tim Thurlow wrote: I mean, I haven't been here that long. Indeed. Perhaps you, then, along with this other twit, should try to observe and learn the rules before sticking your foot in it. It might make more sense than telling long-time members that they don't belong. You aren't impressing anyone (except, perhaps, the moron who started this thread) by lipping off in defense of a butthead.
