I put forth a challenge

The Coffee Shop
1

Let’s see who is willing to commit to 24 hours of refraining from insulting someone in the LR. Disagreements are welcome, insulting others’ opinions, intellegence, mother, dog, etc is forbidden.

We are smart people, for the most part. Why resort to the insults when a rational conversation is much more effective?

I’m willing. Anyone else?

I can’t wait to see how many people read this vs. responding they will take part.

(and yes, I full expect to be called every name in the book on this thread. Flame-proof suit is on.)

2

You must be an idiot to think that is possible. :slight_smile:

3

Witch. Burn her!

4

Does she float (without the wetsuit)??

5

Who cares? She’s trying to turn toads into princes, that’s witchcraft in my book :slight_smile:

6

Perhaps but I’m not willing to kiss anyone to do it.

7

but your mother did…

8

I’m on it like a hobo on a hotdog. Besides, I.LOVE.YOU.GUYS.

T.

9

So the LR is going to shutdown for a 24 hour period beginning at Midnight tonight EST.

10

Not as many as your wife.

Oh snap!

Yes, I know I broke my own commitment but it was worth it.

11

That was too easy :slight_smile:
.

12

You throw the softball and I’m gonna swing. It is instinctual.

13

24 sounds doable. Count me in starting now…4:PM PT.

14

Imagine that? An act of kindness may have just quieted T-Rex…or better yet drove him from posting in the LR.

15

I agree with your challenge.
I wonder which LR thread has the most personal insults? We can then use that as a model of how not to have an intelligent conversation.

16

Ni! Ni! Ni!

And many other Monty Python references!

17

Excellent. 4pm PST is the official kickoff.

I will allow swearing to happen on this thread but you CANNOT NAME or in any way identify the object of your anger. It is like having a punching bag in your home. Gives you an outlet for your anger without hurting anybody.

18

OOooOooOO!!! I know I know!! Anything that talks about Muslims.

I can’t wait to see how this goes. I am very pleased there are people willing to take up the challenge. Thank you all for humoring me.

19

Ok I’m in. Ahhh, happy place. :wink:

20

I wonder which LR thread has the most personal insults? We can then use that as a model of how not to have an intelligent conversation.

Pretty much any thread I took part in right after the Sarah Palin nomination :wink: Ahhh…the halcyon days!!!

Memories! Misty water-colored memORIEEEEEEES…of the way…we were!!! (snif, snif)
