"I'll back their freedom to do so 100%." Good for you.... so will I. It's just the TOS is done... it aint changing (as far as we know) and WHAT'S THE POINT of discussing that particular issue??? Anything else is fair game but the TOS is going nowhere when discussed... this thread is a perfect example of that!!!

So a thread was derailed? Thats what that little wheel in the middle of your mouse is for,skimming by remarks you don't care to read.

Ohh good a nail removes "Keep it civil" sign and replaces it with "Free Beer and chili sign" another connection problem?

"Thats what that little wheel in the middle of your mouse is for,skimming by remarks you don't care to read." Hey no fair my mouse doesn't have a wheel. I'd like to ask you all to please refrain from speaking of mouse wheels and mouse balls. As mine is a cheap optical mouse with out a wheel or balls of any sort, and topics such as 'how great my mouse is cause it has a wheel thingy in the middle that allows me to go WHEEEE!!!' makes him feel quite inadiquate and depressed. And do you know how much prozac for a computer mouse is?

I'm done... I'm not trying to infringe upon Spiritbro77's anything or anyones for that matter... The point of this was missed or lost and I'm tired of repeating myself... Gonna go and enjoy my afternoon... Wonderful day for a day off!!! Thanks all!! Gerard

If you really want the discussion of the TOS (or anything else) to die down, stop talking about it yourself. Don't respond when they bring it up. And definitely do not post threads telling people not to talk about it, because that will just rile them up again. (I suspect you've given the topic at least another week of life, by starting this thread.)

Eventually, this will die down, like all the others. Or more likely, something else will come along, and everyone will get riled up about a different subject.

"It's just the TOS is done... it aint changing (as far as we know) and WHAT'S THE POINT of discussing that particular issue??? Anything else is fair game but the TOS is going nowhere when discussed... this thread is a perfect example of that!!! " You're probably right. There probably is no point in members arguing about the TOS. So what? My point is, who are you, (or I, or anyone else for that matter), to determine what should and shouldnt be discussed? Someone die and make you king without telling me?

"I'd like to ask you all to please refrain from speaking of mouse wheels and mouse balls.

"My point is, who are you, (or I, or anyone else for that matter), to determine what should and shouldnt be discussed? Someone die and make you king without telling me?" I never demanded YOU or anyone stop talking about... it was merely a request, a suggestion (to keep the status quo-ing along happily) a hope to let it die down and I suppose I did add fuel to it's fire and I REALLY, REALLY appologise for that!! I never decreed that "Spiritbro77 MUST NEVER DISCUSS THE TOS AGAIN!!" did I? I'm just sick of it and this thread too!!! Later! G

Heres a constructive idea. Lets all chip in and get thixen a wheel mouse. :) No one should live without the ability to scroll past a post now and again :)

Or a rollerball one ;) Or one with a rollerball AND a wheel. ;)

YEAAAAA!!!! Dances around the room, passing out bowls of chili I like that idea, we can start the wheels for the wheeless fund, Sally Struthers can be our spokes person. 'Please for the children.'

• POSER * Otherwise this thread will disappear.... :o)~

Well, it might have to do with the fact that we here in America ARE boat rockers.It's what this country was founded on.If the pilgrims weren't boat rockers, they would have stayed in bloody England wouldn't they?

Ahem......there's irony to be found all over the place these days.

Somehow, I don't think that the Pilgrims would have gone along with our current concept of "boat rocking".........or with the implications.

hey, while you're getting thixen a wheel, anyone want to chip in and buy me a 21" monitor? and maya? and a new tablet? and, let's see ... give me a few to think about what else ... ;*)

Heres a constructive idea. Lets all chip in and get thixen a wheel mouse. :) No one should live without the ability to scroll past a post now and again :) Why not just a hamster wheel, instead?

The action would be appropos of threads like this one.......

"Why not just a hamster wheel, instead? " cool so I can really just run around in circles and get no where. winks

"hey, while you're getting thixen a wheel, anyone want to chip in and buy me a 21" monitor? and maya? and a new tablet? and, let's see ... give me a few to think about what else ..." Geeze you give um an inch and........

"I like that idea, we can start the wheels for the wheeless fund, Sally Struthers can be our spokes person. 'Please for the children.' " Sounds like a plan. You know, they really could use some smilies here. A LMAO smilie seems quite fitting :)

looks over the 'Xeno Formula for TOS thread' humm lets see. 1)tos post - check 2)heated arguements - check and check 3)bickering - ohh a big check 4) naa... Hamsters (we've decided against the 'other term' too insensitive) - check 5)popcorn and beer - check and check 6)check for progress - none, check 7) goto step 1 - check Yep it all checks out here, bring in the Master Locks.

A LMAO smilie seems quite fitting :) very approps after reading all this!!! ;)

If it is, It's on topic...put the master locks away.

"If it is, It's on topic...put the master locks away. " Sigh... alright guys we gots to try harder. Where is that Hamster thats supposed to jump out of the cake anyhow.

Nah, we're ok, as long as everyone keeps it civil. And, as longa s I get some of the popcorn. MS

"...And, as longa s I get some of the popcorn" Ohh hell ya, you get your own tub o corn. I had some MT Dew delivered as well.

Have you seen my hamster?

He's in the wheel.

Ummm, no, but have some chili. It's good. hides chili soaked tu tu soylent green appitiser?

squeak squeak squeak .........somebody needs to oil that hamster wheel. It makes entirely too much noise. How do you expect me to get any sleep around here?

Isn't there a good copyright violation thread going on somewhere..........?

why you going to take a cat nap in it? Don't forget your complementary Hampster Lady of the night.

Mmmmh, I think that here is a group of people violating TOS and hamsters ...

......those hamsters runnin' around....and around.....and around........and around..... You'd think that they'd get tired of it. But for some reason, they never do.

"Nah, we're ok, as long as everyone keeps it civil. And, as longa s I get some of the popcorn." Well, I'll keep it civil as long as I get some of the beer ::

"You'd think that they'd get tired of it. But for some reason, they never do. " Thats because Hamsters on a wheel don't realise that they aren't going anywhere. To them running 25 MPH on a wheel for an hour means they are 25 miles ahead of where they were. It's all very scientific. Hands Spirit a brew and a bowl of chili plenty to go around bro.

At least we should connect an electric generator to the thread....uh.....to the hamster wheel. In that way, all of that expended energy (that's currently going to waste) could serve some sort of a practical purpose.

like work the peeing boy statue? See you put the beer in here, and it comes out here. neat huh.

"Hands Spirit a brew and a bowl of chili* plenty to go around bro. " Thanks, the chilis good. Just the way I like it, hot and spicey. If you're not sweating, you're not eating. :)

like work the peeing boy statue? The hamster on the wheel could drive the pump. I'm in engineering, you see.....we're always thinking about stuff like that.

Not to break the fun, but the peeing boy would have to appear at least 18. ;) MS

We hate to see a total waste of resources.

;) exactly.

"Not to break the fun, but the peeing boy would have to appear at least 18." ... But it's art... whine You violating my freedoms... whine - *hops on hamster wheel and start running ;P

Hey, the hamster is nude but hes +18... at least in hamsterial equivalence

"I CANT BELIEVE THAT THEYRE TALKING ALL THE DAY ABOUT THE SAME THING" Ohh this is nothing on my other board I kept a OT discussion like this one going for 72 hours straight. It helped that we have overseas members that took up the torch for a few hours while I napped. Ohh those where the good ol days.

"Hey, the hamster is nude but hes +18... at least in hamsterial equivalence " yes but you forgot to check the nudity tag. no worries I'll get it for you

Gosh! Okay, fixed :D

heh...you guys have obviously not been to DAZ's PC club forum? MS
