Delete Defunct Forums

[LostinLaMancha]

Why don't we just delete forums which are not being used, and recreate them if need ever arises.

Parents Forum, and Kids forum are the two That I have in mind. In the about 8 weeks since this board has been online, we've had just 3 posts in one, and 2 posts in another ( and those were test posts ). Why have it when there is no demand.

Didn't see a high demand for these two on the older board either. Does any one know why these forums were created?

[Prashant]

And why exactly are you losing sleep over those 2 empty forums?

[sanity]

Tilting at windmills. :D

[Katie_Scarlett]

Because if LLM is not being controversial, LLM is not happy. PERIOD. :p

[Katie_Scarlett]

Gee, HAPPY comes to mind.

You really are ridiculous. But I guess that's just my opinion . . . and from the looks of sanity's post, apparently sanity would think so too. :D

[LostinLaMancha]

Gee, HAPPY comes to mind.


He whose love has been reciprocated would be happy. He who hasn't met his love even after 7 weeks would be miserable.

Add delusional to the insanity idea... :cool:

And so there's no mistake - it's delusions of grandeur to which I'm referring.

Why not? I love burgers!

LLM,

Do you have a crush on Katie Scarlett?

You can listen and work @ the same time...

[Katie_Scarlett]

You all frighten me. And even if you didn't, I'm spoken for.

[LostinLaMancha]

LLM,

Do you have a crush on Katie Scarlett?No, but I love her name

[Katie_Scarlett]

I love the name too. That's about the only thing we have in common.

I am thinking "big" when I say you have delusions of grandeur and may suffer from borderline personality disorder. I wonder if there is a shred of sanity left in your twisted mind.

[LostinLaMancha]

I am thinking "big" when I say you have delusions of grandeur ....
Which means that you are over exaggerating the thing?

[Katie_Scarlett]

Which means that you are over exaggerating the thing?
No, it means your delusions are HUGE.

[LostinLaMancha]

No, it means your delusions are HUGE.
It took you almost 3 days to come up with that?

so i suppose you do it when you busy?

btw, i think you were pretty rude with WIW in the other thread. not that she was any better. but yet...

[Nic]

Not long to Xmas, is it?

Do you reckon a bb party would end in fist fights and hair pulling, or do you think we'd be a bit more polite in person? There's a lot of people live on the 2nd floor of the Lincoln post here, they should DEFINITELY have a house party. Now, they would communicate better in person than is possible with their house broadband connection.

[Katie_Scarlett]

LLM-No, it means that generally speaking, I only post from work. As opposed to reading the boards from home.


btw, i think you were pretty rude with WIW in the other thread. not that she was any better. but yet...


As for being mean to WIW- WIW started the thread with an inane post. WIW continued with inane comments. I'm not sure how you can say she wasn't any better, but yet . . . but yet what? I was worse? Okay. I can live with that assessment from you. If WIW had the mental capacity to be mean/funny or witty, WIW would. The sad fact is, she can't. So you're stuck with reading her pathetic attacks and my responses. :rolleyes:

You need to note that I don't start threads attacking someone/something. I usually just end up defending my position or myself. :D

[wishiwas]

I have yet to respond to you when you weren't attacking someone. Is life that bad for your that you feel the need to troll bulletin boards in cities where you don't even live? Are the Hoboken bulletin boards just too boring for you these days? I heard that you have quite a fanclub over there too. Hah.

In the future, you might want to consider not replying at all to posts if you think they are 'inane?' Why waste your precious time insulting me when you could spread your love and insult more members of this community?

Why do you consistently bring up other's mental capacities? Unless you have an ivy league education, don't go there with me.

not to intrude on your most excellent quarrel, i'm curious as to why you're bringing in ivy league education as an indicator of one's mental capacities. my experiences have been quite the opposite, sadly, as i've found that an ivy league diploma almost certainly guarantees everything but a mind capable of processing more than one fact at a time... maybe ivy league IT is just bad, but the above-mentioned trend doesn't seem to be limited just to computer-related disciplines...

I hope you're not suggesting that your degree from Hamburger University is above all colleges and universities in this country except those in the Ivy League.

The Ivies aren't well known for their IT programs.


Oh, and wishiwas, what Ivy diploma do you boast?

[@@di]

Talk about derailing a thread!!!

Its amazing to see that most threads morph into a personal slug fest in matter of a few posts [unless of course we all come together and rant about a common enemy, like NTC].

Why is there so much hate? Oops I think I am starting to pull the thread in a whole new direction :D

[sanity]

I've always liked leather sofas. Cloth, plush sofas are nice, except they keep pilling, and they also don't resist stains nearly as well.

[wishiwas]

I have a microfiber living room set in red. No pilling so far.

[wishiwas]

True, the IT and MBA folks are an exception. All non-IT people I knew from (graduate) school were rather intelligent. Undergrad was a different story, lots of idiots. But graduate school was 'special.'

[anita]

i wasn't referring just to it-related folk. i've been on a lot of interview panels lately and have been dealing with people from mainly econ and pol. sci, backgrounds -- these are disciplines that most ivy league colleges have a good track record in. i ended up hiring non-ivy league graduates (although they were graduates from top universities from other parts of the world) since the ivy leaguers seemed to spin a lot of quotes but had very little international experience, projected little personality, and all in all were substandard candidates. for me, an ivy league diploma does not guarantee a person's level of knowledge or competence in any particular subject.

I cannot speak for those fields as I have a technical background.

I went to a 'very good but not the best' undergrad school and the students were mediocre. Even the grad students were mediocre as I conducted research and worked on my first graduate degree there as well.

Then I went to 'the best' grad school and the students (and professors) were light years ahead. The drastic differences between the graduate research and course load are almost unbelievable.

An ivy league diploma is not a 'guarantee' of anything, but it does say a whole lot (in my field, anyway). Only the best of the best undergrads find spots in the programs at my graduate school. With competition like that, it does say something about the alum.

[Nic]

I did milk round interviews a while ago round the UK. I interviewed at Oxford, Cambridge and other good and lesser Universities. I do think the good universities tend to have intellectually stronger candidates, but I'm not so convinced that their students have disproportinately the broader skills and and values that make them effective in business or indeed in other non-academic fields of life.

[Katie_Scarlett]

I find that people tend to have a chip on their shoulder about ivy graduates. If someone who is none ivy meets an ivy, the non-ivy immediately finds faults with the ivy student.

Conversely, some ivy students seem to think they're better than other people. A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch and that's what leads people disliking and finding fault with ivy students.

Just my .02

[sanity]

I agree, @@di. I think the point of all this is... WHO CARES?

This is a messageboard, not a job interview. Those who are truely intelligent don't need to brag about their supposedly lofty education.

[@@di]

Couldn't agree with you more pal.

[wishiwas]

I agree. And it is NOT considered bragging when you are writing a defense to someone who just referred to you as an idiot. It is simply stating the facts.

[Katie_Scarlett]

Not really - you didn't state any facts since all you said was "unless you went to an ivy league school" blah blah blah-or something to that effect. Then you assumed because no one volunteered up their education that no one had gone to one and you must have the superior education. Good call. Underscores the I in idiot.

You or Sanity (or are you one and the same?) ridiculed my 'mental capacity.' I replied and stated that I am not an 'uneducated' idiot (Sanity repeatedly called me 'uneducated' in the other thread).

I could care less about your education. Would you have preferred that I defended myself with my IQ score? I would share it here but you would just call me a braggart.

I didn't initiate this. I merely responded to the claim that I am an idiot and/or uneducated, both of which are totally false.

[LostinLaMancha]

Lets delete some forums, heck delete this thread

Yea, we're one in the same. That's why we write in exactly the same style and respond to everything the same way. The "sanity" part of my personality gets politics a little more than the Katie_Scarlett, but the KS gets the thesaurus a little more than sanity does. That's why KS changes her insults and Sanity sticks to uneducated.

Whatever.

I don't care what your IQ is. I don't care where you went to school. And really, if you're not going to post something worth arguing about, I don't care to respond to your posts.

[wishiwas]

KS - You find reason to argue in everything.

And who really cares which poster people prefer? Is this a popularity contest to you? Your poll is useless.

[sanity]

wishiwas,

You agreed that intelligence should be demonstrated and not boasted.

Well, let's see: You've never heard of the concept of "intellectual honesty." You have demonstrated no ability to actually substantively support a logical argument. Hell, you have yet to actually present a logical argument. The sum total of your analytical and argumentative ability seems to be name calling, shielded by your boast of an "ivy league education." Quite the brilliant demonstration.

You did not initiate this?

Fine. Let me not initate this:

Anyone insecure, pathetic, and ignorant enough to resort to this type of quote, "Unless you have an ivy league education, don't go there with me." lacks not only the education boasted about, but also the ability to substantively answer the matter at hand.


Oh, and of course Katie and I must be one and the same. Your fragile ego and frail intellect that precludes the possibility of dissenting views also must not allow that, heaven forbid, TWO people think you're an idiot.

[wishiwas]

If you want substance, come by the Marbella tonight and I will show you my diploma. I doubt that you (or even KS) would have this kind of attitude in person. So I welcome the meeting. Just let me know what time and I will have the doorman direct you to my apartment.


wishiwas,
Your fragile ego and frail intellect that precludes the possibility of dissenting views also must not allow that, heaven forbid, TWO people think you're a *****.

You have no idea how ridiculous you sound, do you?

I would bet that this is not how you would act when you can no longer hide behind your computer screen.

[Katie_Scarlett]

"Come to my door" ... okay - scary. Wow. Just send me a fax.

In other news, I didn't post the poll you mental midget.

[wishiwas]

KS,

I correctly predicted that you were all bark and not much more.

Woof.

[Katie_Scarlett]

KS,

I correctly predicted that you were all bark and not much more.

Woof.
No, I'm sarcastic in real life too, kiddo. I just am not physically threatening nor physically violent. So when someone says "Come to my place and I'll show you. . ." I get the weird feeling they're either PSYCHO (as in Norman Bates) or they're just plain crazy.

Either way, I have no desire to meet you in person, at your apartment, where anything could happen to me. And if I did meet you and you did do something to me, this whole thread would eventually come out, and people would blame me for showing up at your door.

So I pass.

HAH. Thank-you for the laugh. A piece of paper is substance on the claim of intelligence? Substance is actually being able to intelligently contribute to a discussion. Substance is being able to actually advance and support a point of contension. Substance is actually being able to use your education if you actually have one.

Don't take my word for it. Scroll up and read what anita, Nic, and @@di have to say on the subject.




You have no idea how ridiculous you sound, do you?

I would bet that this is not how you would act when you can no longer hide behind your computer screen.
I act the exact same way regardless of whether I am behind a computer. My handle is one of the older ones on the anonymous messageboard mainly because I am exactly who I am, and I do not hide it. I call a spade a spade, and you, lack substance.

As for ridiculous, look at yourself. You label people ignorant for holding a certain perspective, yet you are unable to actually offer one fact, one statistic, one anectdote, hell, one hair-brained conjecture to support your claim. When pressed, you hide behind your diploma.

I correctly predicted your intellectual frailty and insecurity.

[wishiwas]

Oh Sanity, why do you lie so much?

You wrote "lacks not only the education boasted about" about me.

But I do have the educated I mentioned.

So my apologies that you feel this bad about yourself and life that you continue to harrass me on this bulletin board. Whatever floats your boat.

[Katie_Scarlett]

But I do have the educated I mentioned.

And if you come over to his apartment he'll *show* you his education (you had better hope it's only a diploma he'll be showing you).

WIW you never did say what kind of education you had. I'm guessing a decent undergrad and then an ivy graduate school. But in any event, we'll never know b/c you keep flip flopping back and forth between ivy and "good school."

[sanity]

But I do have the educated I mentioned.
Cling desperately to that diploma. If it exists, it might be your only proof of intelligence.



So my apologies that you feel this bad about yourself and life that you continue to harrass me on this bulletin board. Whatever floats your boat.
My mistake for actually asking you to intelligently defend a point you made.

Oh, and I am really quite happy in life, but then again, for someone stuck clinging to their diploma for self esteem, the concept may yet again be beyond your grasp.

[NewportLady]

Here. Here. It looks like Sanity, and Katie Scarlett are ganging up against Wishiwas. You are all intelligent, well-educated people, a fact that is apparent from your writing skills. As a teacher, I am certain you all went to good schools.

Please consider calling a truce, and engaging in a less belligerent repartee. :)

[Sonia]

Wow, you folks have really gotten upset here. If you like, I'll delete the poll.

Oh, and where did that poll come from anyway?

I think the poll is funny. I didn't post it, and I don't care that I'm on it or that I could even lose *gasp*.

Newport Lady- I'm not ready to go for the jugular, I promise! I'm not even upset. I thought the whole was quite amusing.

Alright then, my vote goes to Wishiwas because she often takes the lead.

I voted for Nic as well. I am sure that many members of this board enjoy his sweet messages, both public and private. ;)

I think the poll is funny.

Thank you, I am glad you like it and have started appreciating my sense of humor.

The poll is supposed to be fun. It is not meant to lower anyone's self-esteem, except Punjabi may be, even he hasn't voted for himself :). Please don't delete the poll.

Sonia/Prashant, we are all having a good time here. And if your names don't exist on the list, don't get upset and delete the poll. Its just that you guys just don't post thet often. Its just the top 5 posters from

If the above situtation with the Eagles occurs, I'll be kissing everyone at the bar.
