yes, it's not meant to be a dark theatre.

just read the rest of object dart. nice pun that. i don't especially see you as that at all, in fact the tash is slightly surprising. and i took the moniker as a reference to soldier of fortune, not a car.
i do quite like the goombah word and style though. reminds me of spag westerns.
and yes for chermans and italians, and andy warhola, it's all about the chouxs. -
yeah except now i see Deborah has signed off :(

moustaches, they come and they go. the air feels much cooler without one.
anyway Che can talk, doesn't he run "RPGs Are Us" or is it "Mainly Self-Propelled Weaponry" - one of those grab a coffeee and read a magazine or two while you're tooling-up sort of places. -
being improbable to live with is excellent.
my colleague just pointed this out as the pinacle of human achievement, i doubt anyone could possibly disagree. (keep with it till at least half-way for best effect.
nice set of quotes. -
Malcolm i'd say your points are quite valid.
i'd also say that craig is a valued contributor who hasn't always exercised perfect discretion with his posts, but then most of us are guilty of that - i know i have been, and sometimes i've been rude and unfair to craig myself. i don't think his response was especially edifying, but it was some acknowledgement and the person most unhappy about all this seems to have come to terms with it, and i'm glad to say received good support from the rest of the forum. his style is pretty ascerbic at times but usually he mounts a good argument and certainly defends it vigorously. others have said he is a brave guy and i would have to agree with that. i don't care for the style much because i think you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (assuming flies are what you're after), and i don't condone outright nastiness (despite having been so myself on occassion). but if Deb has done with it that needs to be borne in mind.
there is as you point out the potential problem that others will feel inhibited but overall i think the general atmos is still obviously supportive and the criticisms that followed this episode should help to make it clear to readers and contributors just what is ideal and what is not.
the discussions we've had here about net courtesy haven't been for nought. indeed the very fact that such an incident has received attention demonstrates that PA has comparatively high standards on that issue. i personally appreciate your vigilance and forthrightness on this issue Malcolm and i expect most of the sentient partipants in this forum do too. there are many ways to skin this cat and there will be more opportunities to improve things, but it's probably a good place to leave things to rest for a while really.
which, btw, would not be a theatering IMHO. but singing hey nonny nonny, joining the Jumping Jews of Jerusalem Dance troop, or re-fromatting your hard drive are all good things to do at any time.

yeah that is one ugly death-sucker.
picasso was a remarkable guy by the sounds. probably impossible to live with, but indeed a master artist and craftsman.
-
nice one m. that is pretty. here is a Sky Crane, which is far less pretty.
i thought merc head looked kind of early picasso. -
nice one m, thems exactly the hamsters i'm talking about
-
but are they any good at it Jen?
