just noticed the tags for this thread...dont know how long thats been there but hrmmm. very petty.
Dunno how long it had actually been going on for before I found out about it and saw the tag "ds is a knob".
My response to that was to simply add "knobs are useful"
As for the stuff re: ex-members, our muddy, and my wife, etc, I'm prolly mistaken but I suspect the likes of tralalad had something to do with that.
I would agree that the forum could do without the tag cloud.
That said, I only discovered it when I started using a smart-phone to access the forum when out and about ... it shows at the top of the phone screen before showing anything else, whereas I don't see it at all when accessing via the PC.
It wouldn't be the first time the cowardly have tried to anonymously attack that/those which/who they have no rational argument against in the actual forums. Apparently, a few years ago a bunch of cowardly left-ardian extremist ex-members tried to get some sort of twitter trend going involving insulting me or something like that. I never got to see it (I've got no time for twotter) and only learned of it because a week or so after the fact our ToiletDuck expressed in here her scorn about it/the people who did it.
Cowardly inarticulate ideology driven haters of all that is true, right, and good are always going to hate in a cowardly and inarticulate manner ... and/or lurk to anonymously snipe and nip at the heals of their intellectual superiors whenever they think they might be able to get away with it without being verbally spanked back to the side of Sheol they've slithered up from ... and out of the forums.
Anyhoo, for something completely unrelated other than the fact it kinda involves a form of celebrity and faux-death, see:
