CBS: Cali Gay Marriage As 'Huge Victory for Equal Rights’

By Matthew Sheffield | July 18, 2007 - 16:25 ET

Just a quick note: The NB forums are fixed now. Anyone who is registered can now start a discussion. Per Mean Gene Dr. Love's suggestion, we also have added an additional forum, "The Woodshed" where you can move a heated debate instead of getting a comment thread on an article off-track.

Still working on the profile pics and private messages.

"The Woodshed??"

July 18, 2007 - 16:49 ET by Dave R

"The Woodshed?"

Perfectly approriate name, I'd say. Now Blonde has somewhere convenient to go when its time to spank one of our wayward trolls.

TM,

LOL-You'd probably have to get one from rhayes, as he spent more time in Blonde's woodshed than all the other trolls here combined.

Bet he's got a stack of 'em.

How did I get appointed the resident troll kicker?

Not that I object, mind you...but I've been trying very hard to just ignore the silly fools.

It's really a waste of keystrokes.

Blonde,

LOL-I was just kidding, actually.

I don't know if you remember, but way back when I first signed up here, you and randy were having a lively discussion about something or other, and I suggested that he might want to be careful, else you were going to "...take him to the woodshed. Again."

Sorry, but you were the first person I thought of when I saw that Forum topic mentioned.

No problem.

Haysebat was an idiot. Harmless, but an idiot nonetheless. I'm sure you're right about me kicking the snot out of him for his stupid BDS and particularly about ragging on the troops.

Now, for old times sake....TDF!

The Woodshed isn't just for trolls

July 18, 2007 - 17:06 ET by Matthew Sheffield

It should also be used by normal, sane NBers who don't want to get somebody's blog thread bogged down with a dispute that no one else is interested in.

July 18, 2007 - 17:14 ET by Mean Gene Dr. Love

Now (if it's not too much to ask) how about a "Panic Room" or "The Asylum" topic for the Conspiracy Theory Trolls. Of course the ideas for forum topics are endless, so I'll be content with what we currently have.

July 18, 2007 - 17:43 ET by Free Stinker

Matt,

If NB gets that replacement for the "moderate" options working, we'll be all set.

Seeing ThoughtPolice here today reminded me we need the options to read like this:

Irrelevant
Insightfull
Talking Points
Stupid (I believe Sarc 1st sugested this one)
Troll
Abusive/Offensive
Funny
Bat$#!t Insane

Just my two cents.

Matthew, you may want to reconsider the title of this item. I'm surprised the trolls haven't already jumped on you for "admitting" the forums are "fixed"!

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
