I don't really think it is off topic.

What exactly are you disagreeing with? That RTL didn't say what he said or that you need to defend flannie? I asked if he thought he really was a Time Lord? See how I capitalized that? If that is too much for a fictional character then maybe he should post as himself. I know it hasn't worked for you but there is always hope.

I don't believe a message board has ever changed my mind about anything important.

It might have changed my mind about something inconsequential like having a different meal for Sunday dinner than I had originally planned or buying one brand of product instead of another brand, but that's about it.

TD, how do you know RTL isn't a time lord? He's always said that he is, maybe he is telling the truth.

If that's what RTL gets out of message boards, then that's what he gets out of message boards.

It's entirely subjective.

It has nothing to do with Flannie or her birthday thread or whether Time Lords are real.

It's what HE gets out of boards. There's no right and wrong.

You have issues, mon ami.

Tinydancer · Guru

If you think he really is a Time Lord YOU have issues. He's allowed to be strange if he wants to and I'm allowed to think whatever I want about his posting style. Too damn bad if you all don't like it. He trashed this board and the people on it so get over yourselves. If asking if he's a real time lord is bashing him then he shouldn't be pretending.

I'll bet money he's not a real time lord.

I don't care if he thinks he's bozo the clown.

I said that you attacked RTL. Several posters defended him (total is FIVE now, BTW).

You should really change your sig line because you spout that nonsense so often that it has become meaningless.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

RTL is out there most of the time.

And there was zero bashing in asking a question.

I don't give two shakes how many "agree".

I was told to ignore posts I didn't like, but dang, ya'll do NOT follow your own advice.

If RTL is too fragile a soul to handle a question or two on his very rare visits, well maybe he should re-evaluate why he posts here.

Same with all the "agreeing crowd", it's a message board.

How many flippin times have you, any one of you, said "if you post on a board, you have to know someone will respond"?

So 5 disagree?

I counted 3 who agree that RTL was trashing the board.

So what now?

She does start most of them, but it's pretty casual. I was up early, so I did it.
