? ❓ ⚛ Questions. Questions? QUESTIONS!? ⚛ ❓?

I remember it, haven’t I never paid much attention to that kind of stuff? Doesn’t that sound like something my dad might have gone to? Don’t I remember some politician getting all freaked out about Donna Summer song lyrics even back in those carefree days? Isn’t there a permanent disconnect between new and interesting things and the old establishment ways? Hasn’t that always existed, and will probably continue to exist, forever? Isn’t it odd that some people’s minds age, and their capacity to accept change dies long before the body does?

When a group is making and giving out free pancakes, wouldn’t it behoove them to remember to bring along some syrup?

@IronEdithKidd @anon67050589 @nimelennar and as not to further derail Empath vs Sociopath, don’t I feel silly after @nimelennar demonstrated the correct way to Escape in a numbered list in Markdown? :thermometer_face:

How annoying is it that as a night owl who had to get up early every day for 18 years, I still wake up spontaneously at dawn even though I (a) don’t need to, as the kid is grown and gone, and (b) still rarely get to bed before 3AM?

Don’t I feel a little silly for having skipped almost 500 comments in this thread to see what the heck you were @-ing for? :wink:

While I’ve wanted a ‘block user’ thing for a while, wouldn’t a ‘disemvowel user’ button be great so you’d still know a troll was around to keep threads/conversations clear but you could still filter them seamlessly?

tee hee hee - why don’t you ask @codinghorror that?

Do you think he can answer in the form of a question?

Doesn’t the disemvoweling debate go way back on BB?

Wasn’t the issue more with mods disemvoweling posts globally? If it were a personal setting wouldn’t those issues be resolved?

Would I really ever use a feature like that? Don’t the people I find offensive enough to not want to read usually wind up as dragon snacks anyway?

Wasn’t I more thinking of it as a way to flag a troll early so I’d ignore them rather than reply and drag out the horrible back-and-forth? Might I secretly want it to apply it to everyone for a while to see what a world with no vowels looked like?

Wouldn’t I end up just trying to work out what they’d written anyway?

Perhaps have their comments hidden and the post somehow marked as ‘you’ve decided this person is an arsehole, read at your own risk’?

Anyone want to see how I spent my weekend?

So, you post pictures of yourself + kids on Facebook, but not here? Don’t you trust us? You think we’re going to mock you for pumping out the babies instead of feeding starving children? Or maybe you think we’ll challenge you via questions instead of actually engaging with your talented handiwork?

Did you think that the shot with me and the kids was mine? Wasn’t I just tagged in it?
