It's good to see so many. Gnite to those turning in. Some of us are likely to be up all night due to projects and insomnia. Speaking of projects, Axe is conspicuous by his absence...on his thirtieth set of crunches for the day? lol
I removed the adult click through. I had just changed it so that you guys could post whatever you wanted without the sitemaster screwing with ya. Let me know if there are any other problems now.
And, listen trashfish, we don't want any Mrs Kravitzes here...even though we all know that you will be peering over the fence and screaming 'Abner!'
OK, I'm off to watch The Pacific. Has anyone seen it? I watched Band of Brothers for the Xth time over the weekend and realised that I had never seen the other project that Spielberg and Hanks did.
I have not seen The pacific. I am, however, watching BOB again for the xth time. It really is just amazing tele. The Pacific is next in queue after BOB.
Hey RWM, I hope noobs are allowed, nice place you have here, does your place have an open bar as well? Will Good can man/women it I hear he/ she has experience. :)
Hi, RWM. Have been following you and others on HA for a while. Feel like I was invited here...thank you for that. I don't comment much. I prefer to be silent and learn. Tired of the HA bannings of the good guys while the trolls are left to muck up the place. Thanks for the Gulch:)
If you are going to allow them, it’s important to me to know how you plan to moderate trolls these trolls when they start acting up, which will invariably happen. Like, will you make a separate thread they won’t be allowed to go into?
non-nonpartisan on June 18, 2014 at 3:24 AM
+++++++++++++++++++++
How will I handle them? I’ve already ‘disappeared’ Kochbrain/nonpartisan.
Howdee all! theotherone checking in. I might peep in from time to time. I'm too garrulous for my own good to post many comments. Also, I'm on the Left Coast, so I may come in too late to join the fun. But, I'll check back periodically to see what's shakin'.
Random thoughts... I grew up in a family of seven boys and one girl, and I am second youngest. When we were kids our mom always let us choose what we anted for supper on our birthdays, so I LOLZ, always asked for liver and onions, beets and spinach. Everyone else were always so pizzed at me since I was the only one who liked any of that... Ma' finally wised up and started making hamburger steaks and fried taters for the other kids...
I know that so many of the bad trolls really can screw things up and post stupid stuff, I think the best thing to do is when replying, don't acknowledge them by quoting their comment, just say somthing about what they posted, or, best of all, just don't reply! I have observed what Bmore does, and it is effective.
I meant to suggest this recently when we were talking about WWII (don’t remember the thread):
Secrets of World War ll – The Corpse that Fooled the Axis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEDSDaBGo9A
The story is little known from WWII.
The movie about the subject, ‘The Man Who Never Was,’ is excellent. It is from either the late 40s or the 1950s. If you ever see it listed on TCM or some such channel, take it for a spin.
Hi Everyone. This forum is it for me for the time being. I hope I can keep track things from here. Noticeable drop in comments today - despite my 100 or so (my last day for awhile so I had to get them in). It will be interesting to see what happens.
Hi ShainS, I wasn't a regular QOTD commenter, and I was never invited to comment in the Gulch, but here's what seems to have happened.
Yes, the Gulch was shut down. People seem to think that someone complained about Kool's language and when a moderator investigated, they found the Gulch and shut it down in addition to banning Kool. They also do blame a specific commenter for showing up uninvited and provoking Kool - even if that commenter didn't specifically email a complaint.
This seems to have initiated a boycott. The QOTD was incredibly quiet last night. Someone had suggested taking the conversation to a random headline thread. The specific one nominated last night was about robotics - so this strategy became known as the robot strategy. Personally, if they do this, then they should pick a headline thread that's already off the main page so that they don't attract troll attention.
"" That’s my take on the situation, FWIW lineholder on June 19, 2014 at 10:03 AM ""
OK, lineholder is a genius. I didn't even realize she was reading the thread, yet she perfectly described the situation. It's great to read that smart people are on Hot Air - especially after reading so many clueless comments over the past week. Cheers, lineholder!
Just a note about The Gulch, all were welcome. If you liked Sarah, you were given an extra big hug.
It was an open secret and was not an invitation only place. Show up and we'd hand you a beverage and a cabin or hammock depending on how long you stayed.
Well, unless, you had gills. Then we locked the screen doors, covered up the worm bed and sprayed Febreze. A long running joke.
It seems as if that picture went up within the last day or so. Strange that she would provide a likeness of herself since she claimed she was upset that people were calling her SusanT recently. It's especially strange since the word bluegill is on her twitter page.
Look. Hagfish is multiple others. I wish I'd bookmarked it but I didn't, she accidentally transposed a comment of hers with frank. But I told y'all about that several times. If Starlink shows back up that's her as well.
That's it! Somebody bookmarked! Lousy lying hagfish. But I loved attacking frank even though I knew who he was. Sucks that I cannot speak the way I normally do. But you just wait until the next OR and Pantherman shows up! :P

Awesome artwork Bmore :)
You are the best!
Hum... this looks like an interesting place. Might just hang around for a while.
Thanks, RWM
Thanks, RWM!!!

Hi everyone!
OK...this will be interesting...all of my secrets are coming out!! o_O

And that should be "Will B Good"...stoopid Google...
Lancie!! :-D

No you're not, your hard drive crashed and you were deleted.
Howdy all!
Hi, Katy!
Wish I could stay and play because this looks like a fun party, but can barely stay awake. Have fun all'a y'all!!
Hi y'all.
Thanks for the invite Sophie! I like what you've done with the place!
Niters and sleep well, Mom!
Thanks RWM ! !
Lanceman is gone forever. So is Applehead.
And I suspect that if I come back as Danceman Lance-Man or Pantherman (my favorite), they wouldn't last long.
And yet, here you are, Lancie ;-)
Sophie, you're a peach!
I think I'll be coming here more often.
Wolly(Bill)
'I like what you've done with the place!'
Snicker.
Welcome, everyone!
BTW: Tomorrow, I will play around with the features and see if I can make the comments section a little better.
PS: I did change the time and date stamp. The 'Stan got kicked to the curb. We're all on EST now.
Well, I'm stepping out for the night--see y'all at the old diggs!
Good to see you Lance!
Wench checking in.
Pambi
(Presently using hubby's Google account, cuz I can't remember if I have my own ... Will figure that out.)
Sophie, what ever you do will be fine with us! :-D
Thank you.
Awww shucks, I am late to da party!! Well done Sophie :)
(Scrumpy)
I SO wanna come back as Panther-man!
Ohhhh yeah!
Hi ya'all!
Was over at SW's place also, this is cool too!!
I am gonna crash.
God Bless you all and Good Night!!
(Scrumpy)
Hey I recognize these names :)
I'm telling you,, AP is jacking the place with socks.
It's good to see so many. Gnite to those turning in. Some of us are likely to be up all night due to projects and insomnia. Speaking of projects, Axe is conspicuous by his absence...on his thirtieth set of crunches for the day? lol
Lancie baby, you are teh Dancerman!
Wolly!
Okay then... here's to moonlight and freedom. :) J
Uh, why the heck did I get an "adult" blog click-through when coming here? That hasn't happened before...
Also, El Goog wants me to prove I'm not a robot by typing in text that their own robots can read. Lulz!
I removed the adult click through. I had just changed it so that you guys could post whatever you wanted without the sitemaster screwing with ya. Let me know if there are any other problems now.

Tornado reported just southwest of Humboldt, SD, moving NW at 10 mph - @stormchaser4850
This has been one heck of an active early summer tornado season.
Howdy RWM!
OK, I'm off to watch The Pacific. Has anyone seen it? I watched Band of Brothers for the Xth time over the weekend and realised that I had never seen the other project that Spielberg and Hanks did.
Howdy, trying this thing again...
I have not seen The pacific. I am, however, watching BOB again for the xth time. It really is just amazing tele. The Pacific is next in queue after BOB.
Glad you got this going ma'am.
Hey RWM, I hope noobs are allowed, nice place you have here, does your place have an open bar as well? Will Good can man/women it I hear he/ she has experience. :)

yep, looks like the gangs all here!

Hi kids!...I haven't seen this many comments at RWM site before!greatest
rotf -- and after this "craven" business is cleared up, I have a few questions about "strumpet" . . .
Read here often, rarely post. That will have to change, lol.
Hey Koolaid Man!!!!
Hi Everybody!
Coffee? :-)
Hmmm... Can't figure out how to use my nom de plume.
Not anonymous... Fallon.
Let me try this again.
Just heard about the no posting from Newtie.
Just checking in....
Thanks for setting this up, RWM.
I posted a G'Mornin but it didn't show up...
Hello everyone
If you have a mind, no worries about nuking mine above too, Soph. :)

My bad, what with quoting.
Go read the Hagfish's criticism of Noah in this thread...

Wish he would have banned him, instead...
Ooops...
Thanks RWM!! I see you are running a tight ship:-) Thanks for doing this & the name "gill-free" is a good one.
Nice to see Mr. Kool!!! Also others that have been MIA!
Had time to get up to date with what happened with the Gulch & HA's attitude...Grrrrr
bluefox
non-non, what name did you post under before your current nom, if you don't mind my asking?
First!
I'm not sure this place will do for the long-term. It lacks certain features.
We could hijack another old thread on HA though...
howdy.
Hi Everyone :)
Do we have a game plan for tonight?
I've kept this page open hoping to read what we are supposed to do for QOTD.
Oh, post there as usual. I have only posted in last nights QOTD, nothing anywhere else...
thanks OC

wups, sorry for the double post...had trouble with the "prove you're not a robot" thingie...besides, I did say I was garrulous, didn't I..?
Random thoughts...
I grew up in a family of seven boys and one girl, and I am second youngest. When we were kids our mom always let us choose what we anted for supper on our birthdays, so I LOLZ, always asked for liver and onions, beets and spinach. Everyone else were always so pizzed at me since I was the only one who liked any of that...
Ma' finally wised up and started making hamburger steaks and fried taters for the other kids...
Too bad there isn't a way around the captcha code so we could stay logged in here...
OC, try it now.
Test...
Wow, thanks, darlin'
Your wish is my command!
RWM...thanks so much! I hate to think we are making more work for you.
The plan for tonight is the old but reliable 面と見せて胴 waza
It's not work, CL.
Hi, DC!
lol ok then, can you make the last comment appear first instead of at the bottom ....just kidding.
That's a great idea CL!! It's a pain scrolling all the way down to the bottom... :)
Good evening peeps and peepettes!!
(Scrumpy)
I'll see what I can do.

Is the Killer Robots the alternative to QOTD?
Just imagine Ed's face in the morning when the Killer Robots thread had 800 comments. lolz
Testing 1...2...3...
LOL RWM not sure. But that would be funny.
LOL RWM not sure. But that would be funny.
lol hey Newtie...been a long time since I've seen that name used :)
CL might recognize this name ;-)
CL, you DID remember Hiawatha!! :-D
lol Newtie...sure do. QOTD is up.
Thank you, CL! :-D
I'm getting the distinct impression I was somewhat sock-happy on another blog... [insert suspicious look here]
I'm so confused.
How so, CL?

I was sad to see how quickly people discarded the Robot strategy. Oh well, I have coffee on a cart now, so I can move around at will.
What's going on (I haven't been around much the past few days)?
Is it true that The Gulch was shut down? [Was it because hagfish complained or something?]
Is there a general trollcot and comment strike at HotAir (and if so, what is the objective)?
What's the Robot strategy?
Thanks!

Oh man, did I ever misunderstand the strategy...
Not that it matters, but who knew that trashfish was black?
OR, is she just using someone else's photograph?
It seems as if that picture went up within the last day or so. Strange that she would provide a likeness of herself since she claimed she was upset that people were calling her SusanT recently. It's especially strange since the word bluegill is on her twitter page.
@blink -- thanks much for the explanation.
Didn't know about KA2 being banned -- bummer ...
Look. Hagfish is multiple others. I wish I'd bookmarked it but I didn't, she accidentally transposed a comment of hers with frank. But I told y'all about that several times.
If Starlink shows back up that's her as well.
Was this it, Lanceman?
bluegill on March 3, 2014 at 1:49 PM
Kiddo, how in the world can you appreciate comments that are totally void of substance and only criticize others? You’re better than that and at least you don’t bother to comment on things that don’t interest you instead of being annoyed at those who do. Geez, one thread out of a day that is free wheeling is hardly the end of the world.
Cindy Munford on March 3, 2014 at 5:23 PM
1) that is a misrepresentation of my comment history.
2) you lecture but fail to lecture the instigator(s). Very telling.
frank on March 3, 2014 at 5:51 PM
That's it! Somebody bookmarked! Lousy lying hagfish. But I loved attacking frank even though I knew who he was. Sucks that I cannot speak the way I normally do. But you just wait until the next OR and Pantherman shows up! :P
Yes sir. The ol' Pantherman...
