When are we getting a seperate are for things not LC related

[smile]

ANYONE KNOW?????

[Tony]

I thought that it already existed, each of us having our own idea as to where it is.

[jarkko]

I could open such a section but are you sure that
non-Cohen postings would be posted there and only
there... Looks like many threads which begin with
Cohen-related material soon take another direction.
Comments, please!!! We could try it anyway.
What would be a good title for the section?

[Partisan]

Too many sections already. "Comments and Questions" works just fine.

p.

p.s. we could just remove the entire poetry section.

[Aavalanche]

Better still remove the entire partisan section.

[tom.d.stiller]

Aavalanche -

An eye for an eye? The real danger that emanates from partisan's nasty posts is that we let ourselves be contaminated by their anti-democratic spirit, by their inborn tendency to extinguish. Some might be in love with removal, we should not join their ranks.

[tom.d.stiller]

I don't see a real need for another section. Each thread, no matter from where it starts, will soon gain a momentum of it's own which might lead anywhere.

I imagine a thread starting totally off-Cohen, but since Leonard is on most of our minds most of the time, there soon will be a post that compares say a line by Bob Dylan to one by LC - and the thread might indulge itself in a brainstorm about Leonard's poem.

As to naming a possible non-Cohen section: "Various Positions" would be quite a suggestion - hadn't Leonard used it already...

I think we are all well catered for already.
The Poetry section has really flourished(despite some undemocratic methods to remove it)
Tangents allow any section of this Forum to encompass any matter under the sun(excuse me Icarius)
and the natural tribalistic hatred of man will shine through, despite an attempt by many to be polite and add culture
BUT IT's OUR WEE BOARD
and we should thank Jarrko for creating it

Georges, I concur with your last post.
The poisonous elements are causing us to forget our manners.

I forget to pray for the angels and then the angels forget to pray for us.

Thankyou Jarkko.
Thank You Leonard.

Cheers, Witty Owl.

While I have crossed swords with p. before and will no doubt do so again (there is a certain thrill in it), I and I also think he brings a certain entropy here....a level of disorder or agitation essential to any system. By saying things that nobody else will. We can get too complacent in our positions otherwise. And just once in a while, he can be prophetic......
And Paula, come on back.....you can't take this place that seriously.

[John the Shorts]

Maybe we need a section devoted to We all hate <Insert members name>

Perhaps then those who wish to sound off about how much they dislike/disagree with someone can go there and the rest of us can get on with enjoying the board and leaving that area alone.

[Byron]

May I suggest a more formal approach?
In medieval times when the young princes of this fair realm of Albion were having lessons in art, latin, chivalry, literature, spalling, amithretic, and killing peasants, they sometimes got their lessons wrong (shock horror). Now we all know that to lay a hand, boot, fist, or Liverpool Kiss on a member of royalty, the punishment was not pleasant. Therefore, in order to administer punishment to the young princeling, they gave him a present of a 'whipping boy'. This lucky lad shared the life of the prince but got the bejaisus knocked out of him when the prince was naughty.
Why don't we all nominate one of our happy throng to act as our group inspired whipping boy? Names on a postcard to be sent to lc for a directive from on high. ie: Mt Baldy.
Oh, and no sado masochistic volunteering either. None of that "whip me, whip me, but don't hurt me," rubbish!!

Paula if you read this don't leave. I did enjoy reading your posts and miss them.
