Uh, someone care to tell me if the other thread really was locked?

What I find really interesting about Flare is how I start from the top and read down, getting to the Lounge here only towards the end. Anyway, as a result, I usually see UM and others using the latest crazy catchphrases before I know the context. Then I discover the context. And I'm like some crazy kind of net archeologist. Crazy.
Anyway, I don't think starting a thread to comment on another thread is a Bad Thing, assuming there's no dark and mystical "Thou shalt not comment" command issued, which happens from time to time, but rarely.
And can't we all just get along? Love each other? Party hard?

No, seriously, the "kicking tunnel" is not at all the way it's supposed to be, that sort of phenomenon usually comes from kneejerk-reactions and the desire to do what the group does in order to fit in, I think most of us are above that, wink wink.
Concurring with my eloquent colleague JeffSnot, contribute & participate.
Usually, salty comments from the frequent visitors here can be answered with an equal joke/poke, not necessarily resulting in saucy exchanges of witty (or not so witty) insults, by persons whom Derek Jacobi inspires.
That (a furball) can also result in threadlock, because we can't stand seeing our children hurt one another. Think of the children. (also because bickering is pointless) (if it's not funny bickering) (then it is still pointless, but fun) (yes I know that, Clive) (sorry)
For instance, I say to you "Well, I think *someone* has been sitting to long in front of the TV", and you say "Oh, just long enough to watch the televised spanking of yo momma", or somesuch.
No, wait, that was smartass.
Forget it, opposite example. Assume that I say to thee respectfully "You are like feces", or "U=F3c35", as the trend seems to turn. See this doesn't deserve a response, but if you feel gain, something in order would be like "well, as Alpha Leader Turd I am very grateful to have left your worthless intestines and try my chances in the great ocean instead".
Happy foruming!

An addition to the last retort. "I, as Turd Steward, will lead my people to build civilizations, beyond known frontiers! I will be a GOD! You will sit in front of the TV, eating Cheesy-Poofs! Which is the greater, hm?!!!"

Of course we'll top it off with watching the Simpson's episode where Stewart plays the head chief in some clan right?
