    Wow someone out there needs to layoff the coffee. If you seriously think a dislike of a beverage is grounds for a spam/abuse vote then you have drunk far too much of the stuff.

    You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

      The world, unfortunately, is full of elephants. And we get our share here as well. Have a +5 to compensate in some small way. Now, if it had been Bacon you had professed such revulsion for, you would rightly be hounded off the site... :laugh:

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        Had I a revulsion for bacon I would not deserve such treatment, I would however need medical help for such an affliction.

          Yeah that discussion yesterday went really off the road... sorry for the trouble you got BTW: my +5, because such a discussion should never be a reason to spam/abuse vote someone

          if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

              I care nothing for the negative votes as they are only worth the paper they are written on, but spam/abuse can have more serious consequences.

                  We don't have downvotes now, but we used to. It was a narrow string to walk then, and now spam/abuse has taken its role. BTW: You could always ask Chris to have a look at them, so I'm not too concerned. I view it as more annoying than a real problem.

                    Hey it may happen, when I started it was common for half the staff in a department to smoke, every block of desks had its own set of ashtrays and you smoked far more than you did out outside of work as when anyone lit up everyone lit up. Had you proposed a ban then you would have had a similar reaction.

                      Some 20 years before the smoke-situation was so bad, that the company decided to pay to everyone a kind of course to help quit smoking... As for myself I never smoked and never drunk coffee - so I'm with you...

                        I remember those days, ashtray the size of a dinner plate just to the left of the mouse pad, greasy feel to the keyboard and a hacking cough in the mornings. Ahh the good old days... You have a long way to go to beat MM, he got chucked off twice in a day, now that was funny. I wonder what other sacred cows can be sacrificed to stir the PC twats of the site up. And no I'll not be sacrificing the pig.

                              Wow someone out there needs to layoff the coffee. If you seriously think a dislike of a beverage is grounds for a spam/abuse vote then you have drunk far too much of the stuff.

                              What abuse? You made a joke attacking coffee drinkers, and coffee drinkers made jokes attacking you. If you can't take a joke, go stay in the kitchen -- the lounge ain't the place for prima donnas.

                                I'd prefer that phrasing. But to paraphrase Griff. The world is full Sunshines. I've been reported for no discernible reason at all. And normally I'd just shrug it off, but if 10 people out of 11 million dislikes you it may have a bit of an impact.

                                    Who said it was you? you are being mighty defensive for an innocent man. Fact someone (who being anonymous is unspecified) voted one of my posts as abuse (actually it was two abuse votes) now that who this comment was aimed at, yet you assumed it was aimed at you! go figure!

                                        I'll support a petition for a bacon-emoji. Until then, you'll have to endure the :java: torture!

                                          Wow someone out there needs to layoff the coffee. If you seriously think a dislike of a beverage is grounds for a spam/abuse vote then you have drunk far too much of the stuff.

                                          As the person who had the disagreement with you about coffee, I can only say that I am disgusted that some idiot regarded your comments as abuse. Have an upvote from me to help compensate!
