I have been frequenting thIs site for sometime now and have had the pleasure of meeting some genuine, kind, clever people as well as some not so kind not so genuine and not so clever people (sighs poor Steve). any way in my time on this site I have always enjoyed popping on daily and checking out everyones opinions on whats happening on the show.
But this site is becoming more and more unenjoyable as the tension rises. I didnt sign up to read about people slagging each other off and argue, healthy debate shouldn’t end in with your mother sucking anything, thats just not right
Recently I know we have had a few Steve’s lurking in the side lines but we have also had some good budding theorists to mention one I would have to go with Crazy Polar Bear, not that every theory he has written has been great but he has brought about some interesting questions and theories to the table. I have mentioned CPB but there loads of other new users theories that I have had the pleasure of reading.
The hostility here however has gotten to the point of being stupid and often rude and insulting. I am mentioning no one theorist/user and I am including myself in this.
I think we all need to chill out a little here welcome new users to the site and guide them (nicely) in the right direction. Who really cares if someone posts something that has been posted before if its been discussed at length rather than writing a paragraph insulting that user, why not write a paragraph on the outcome of the discussion.
All I am saying guys is the site was always intended to be self managed so lets not all go tribal here, if we have the love of the show in common I’m sure we can all get along.
lets welcome new users and bring em into the fold
I for one will try two! : )
I totally agree…sleepyhead…:)
“We have to treat eachother with some little more respect, we’re all on this together…”
sleepz… to be honest… It bothers me more to see users slagging each other off and argue than Steve. Steve was just pulling our leg and was (sometimes) quite funny. Well.. I might be the only one thinking that though :)
Good post!
XIV i agree we are so busy scaring off people that we aren’t really seeing the funny side of things.
I just want to add that I think a really good forum is made up of a diverse collection of people…from as many walks of life as possible.
If we all commented the same then why even comment.I like that peoples personalities and thoughts come out in their posts.
We just need to practice a tad more tolerance.
I’m with you xleepz. Thanks for saying.
eh sorry, early morning, no coffee yet, sleepz
Sleepz didn’t Hex just post about this issue? You really should do your research before…… yada yada yada :-)
No seriously thanks for bringing this up again. It seems that some folk are resisting learning from this so lets just keep hammering it home until we get things back on an even keel.
Wtf is totally right to say that we need to appreciate you can’t please all of the people all of the time and frankly who cares if you do?! We should all have the courage of our own convictions but in a nice way. There is no need to be horrible to someone if you disagree with them.
@ xiv I’m with you. Steve is kind of a hero to me in a funny way. I love the fact that he kept on posting, never responding to anyone and so on. He’ll be back, sooner or later and we should definitely practice our tolerance in the meantime.
Take a look around you people, the world could do with more kindness!
wtf, I agree I am not trying to stiffle peoples comments or even asking people to agree with posts, All I am saying is if we show more tact and support the new users will add value to this site.
Hey man “Live Together Die Alone”
Im Jack…thats my line…Charlie ; )
LMAO - WTF fair enough, i’ll go back to my guitar, and statue of the virgin mary
Heh heh…thanks for the shout-out, mrssawyer. The fact that we need to keep posting about this issue says volumes about the state of the LT site as a whole right now. I feel exactly the same way you do, sleepz. Hopefully things calm down a little and we won’t ever need to post a thread like this again! ; )
Hex - spot on, hey I am as much to blame as anyone, If I had a pound for everytime I slated a new theory I wouldn’t be at work today its not until you take a step back and think OMG the sites gone Lord Of The Flies –— Lets eat Prof
PMSL Sleepz. I want his right arm. Looks tasty.
Prof I like a bit of mustard with my roast man so please come prepared.
LOL!
Sure. Eat the vegetarian. I don’t blame you. The rest of you probably taste gamey.
Its a well known fact that meat reared on fresh veg tastes better than any other my dear Prof. Now where did I put my napkin….
lets spit roast the Prof. (clearly not meant in a sexual way what so ever)
would you like your roast Prof in a bun Mrs S
On a bun? Phillistine!
mmm yes, a piquant nose, initially fresh in the mouth with a slight earthiness, just the slightest aftertaste of corn…
I’m afraid there isn’t much meat on my ribs, but I was a runner when I was younger, so the thighs and calves are probably especially good. Might need to tenderize and marinate, though.
Prof I have to say normally the meat doesn’t talk this much!
Jaz the slight aftertaste of corn had me both laughing and salivating at the same time, lol.
Sleepz I’ll have mine rare on a bed of ffffava bean salad please.
Mrs sharpens knife and pours a glass of chianti
Yes, well, if y’all are going to eat me I might as well be afforded the dignity of suggesting how I ought to be prepared.
On a bun! The nerve…
And hey… if you want to remember what I looked like, during your meal you can wear an official Fred t-shirt! On sale now at CafePress!
mrs., ‘69 appears to have been a vintage year for vegans…
VERY good year for vegans.
May I recommend root beer? Boylan’s Creamy Red Birch Beer has a full-bodied birch flavor with a hint of vanilla in the bouquet and after-taste. The version sweetened with pure cane sugar (not corn syrup) is a classic that will go well with roast vegan.
sleepz: CMOT Dibbler, are you? “ProfOs!! Onnabun! Get’em while they are… ehrm… available!!!”
Guys, I hate to bring this up, but I am somewhat concerned that we might be depleting the ozone….
Well thanks for providing a lovely brekkers, Prof.
Now I just have to find approptiate work wear for 80+ and muggy, ugh.
Have a great day everyone; I’m sure we are all now well fortified against the day….
Don’t forget the chips, Occam.
“All this and a bag of chips,” as they say…
G’day, jaz!
man i need a large slab of meat in a bun with ketchup. I really am as common as cat piss
I luv youz guyz….
This site is CRAZY!!!!…
Once again, random nonsense creeps in…
Look, here Sleepz shares his heart with us on how we can all treat each other better and all get along…you know have better manners and such…
…and where does the discussion lead us?….
You guys are Eating PROF?!!!
??WHAT???
It’s Madness!!!!
Complete and utter Madness, I tell you!!!
Someone’s a little too GOOD for ProfT-bone. I see how it is.
Well… sleepz, I did neglect to tell you that you made an excellent point but it was you, after all, who suggested I should be breakfast. Or… supper… depending on what hemisphere folks are visiting from.
You know, if you’re squeamish about it, PG, just douse me in A-1. I’ll understand.
We aren’t savages sleepz, not yet… :)
Nicely said sleepz.
“Look, here Sleepz shares his heart with us on how we can all treat each other better and all get along…you know have better manners and such… …and where does the discussion lead us?…. You guys are Eating PROF?!!! “ -PG
Is this a great site or what?
I used to date a vegan gal. I could try to describe her, but if you just watch this you’ll get the idea.

I must say, the TBone has a pretty good attitude about being eaten…. it all sounds so friendly….
sharpening carving knives
Rump roast, anyone?
Maybe we could start with his love handles…
PG, what are you worried about? Do you think you will be next after Prof being eaten, as you were being… Fred? Fred, yes, fried, no?? Hm…
Me: “I have love handles?”
Agent: “Yeah… little ones…”
Truman, you’ll be late for work…
sleepz: I agree 100% with what you are saying.
Although I do try to be welcoming to the newbies and helpful in my comments, I will admit I’m guilty of some jabs at other commenters. But, since Hex’s post, I’ve stopped and tried to be nicer.
Thanks for posting this, maybe we all needed to hear it again.
And thanks Annie for bringing us back on topic. I needed it.
In all fairness, the humor on the site is a good way to build up a friendly rapport.
It’s true though, this topic is a nice reminder that there are new people who may not be completely comfortable with everything just yet.
Anytime Occam! As long as you just stay put. :-)
Yes, ma’m.
I don’t know what I find more disturbing:
OR..
“Madness!!!”
OK, OK you can use ketchup! Sheesh!
LOL!! very funny!!
no thanks! I think I’ll become a vegan now…
sleepz: I am glad you posted this! I feel that when the new members are coming on to the site and reading theories, they may be misinterpreting some of the camaraderie that goes on between some of the folks who’ve been around for awhile! I think patience and tolerance, is likely the best way to handle newcomers.
dab, I agree 100% and also a little bit of slack (confidence building) for the younger members would also I think benefit our group.
Eh, maybe you’re right PG - he looks a little “gamey”…
