Keg of dynamite in the arena !!!

[Ships-R-Us]

This thread is taking courage to post and I may be laying myself wide open for a "pie in the face". I'm usually game for most things once. I'm a pretty peaceful guy and feel I have brought no offense to any member. Henceforth, I feel comfortable stating:

There are threads for everything under the sun here, and they come in all flavors. How about a

Get it off your mind and chest thread. All posts must be directed at specific individuals. The targeted individual may choose to respond or choose not to, as that is personal privilege.

I firmly believe that the stadium will be filled at all times to watch the players.

I believe that only the best fit will choose to play and post, as it requires a special character to participate.

Postings from nonparticipants is forbidden, as this is not a game based on public opinion, or cheering. Any nonparticipant posting will result in 36hrs. brig time.

I believe this is a valid idea with positive benefit for all members. It certainly is going on in the "pm" arena to which I am also guilty. It would also help cut down on Mr. Stevens bandwidth usage.

This has been done in private industry with beneficial results.

I IN NO WAY AM LOOKING FOR A SERVICE FOR 8 SET OF MUGS, AND TRUST THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A REPLY WITH REFERENCE TO A MUG.

I am not bothered that a small select group of members hold me at arms length, that is their decision and a display of selective character. We all know that to be a part of life. I will add that I have never made a malicious post with the exception of one which I regret very much. All my posts, some of which are ingenious and original are totally innocent with humor blended in. I am a very understanding and learned individual with wizdom based on my life experience.

A certain few as usual will not reply to my post, however I believe I have brought for examination by the tribe an idea worthy of acceptance.

Keep in mind, that the members will see various flavors of character, from the participants that have the courage to post, as well as a chance to view the effect of the various cultures represented here at SUBSIM.

I SAY, LET THE GAMES BEGIN.WHAT SAY THE COURT..........your humble servant, ShipsRus

I'd hate to be hoisted on that thing, even if I did own it...

Never knew what one looked like, although I'm familiar with the expression.

[Ships-R-Us]

August..... on the mugs
Raptor1.... gets two thumbs, one for identifying the petard, and the other for reminding me that we are no longer a barbaric world.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I hereby rate this thread a zonk due to public opinion

I don't think one is hoist on their own petard, but rather hoist with their own petard.

"For tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his owne petar".

From the play Hamlet written by some old dead guy named Willie.

Either way it sounds more painful than doing my taxes!
