I know for some posters, like myself, we don't have AIM at work. And, before someone says to "take it to email" -- GC is "real time." I've had several instances where it took longer than a day to receive a mail message.

It's spaghetti and meatballs day at Big Bill's NY Pizza -- which is in Denver.

Listen, regarding AIM, etc. I'm not on any of those, but all of us do have PM on GC which can be used pretty much like e-mail.

You just have to remember to clean it out once in a while.

While the thread didn't really annoy me (it was easy enough for me not to read it), by starting it up again after it was deleted multiple times, it makes it pretty clear that at least one of you was doing it purposely to annoy other posters. If it would be just as easy for y'all to have this conversation on AIM, ask yourself why it's such a big deal that you NEED to have it on GC. If there's a better reason than "We like to annoy the rest of the posters," I'd love to hear it. And if there's not, then . . . uh, why are you arguing?


Nobody should have to resort to going on AIM when this is a "CHITCHAT" forum. Just because certain people don't like a thread it should not be written off as mindless garbage and consequently be deleted. If that were the case then there wouldnt be a need for chitchat because the entire forum is mindless garbage. Who the hell wants to know about stupid handbags or Happy Birthday to so and so. If you want to tell someone happy fuggin birthday then you should take it to PM, right? Honeychile just LOVES to post random b.s. that I can't stand but I'm not going to report her posts. And if you really want to look at something offensive....take a look at the "This thread we talk about GCers Mamas" or the "Greekchat names and what you think of" thread. Those are as dumb as the Mike Jones threads if not dumber. In fact, in one of those threads....several people are dissed. But, not surprsingly, those thread still stand. If all this stupid post should have been deleted crap and the take it to Pm ideology was REALLY implemented, we wouldnt have a need for chitchat.

And for those of you who think Mike Jones was just a thread for "us", correct me if I'm wrong but plenty of other people posted in the original Mike Jones thread. I don't know about most of you here but at my office I don't allow people to have AIM or YahooIM. I don't use them here or at my home for plenty of reasons (mainly because of spyware that comes with it).

Fascinating stuff. :)

LOL -- I agree here. That is the more assinine thread in existence.

Plus nobody posting in it seems to realize that the Random thread will ALWAYS have a higher post count anyway.

RC, what happened to your "letter association thread"?

Yes, we do, but the point is why should WE have to use PM just because there are three of us having a conversation instead of 10? There is no reason for that.

Sure there is.

If you are violating the TOS -- or being offensive, it's a way of not being deleted because nobody else sees it.

Let's not lose site of what started this whole controversy -- posts that numerous members found offensive and clearly (in my opinion) violated the Terms of Service.

Things that do that deserve to be deleted.
