Another open letter.
So, it's a long weekend. Let's just wait and see how you feel by Sunday night.

MeFi Follow-Up: Joe Horn is Cleared of All Charges
"some old ignorant WHITE red neck", "a retired grandfather", "old Joe", "old coot in Texas",
From the above examples of ageism, I deduce that few if any Mefites will vote for 72 year old John McCain.
Joe Horn is just about the same age as Dumbya Bush.

29: Happy Happy Joy Joy
Pastabagel's stream of consciousness comment is a great definition of the effect of civilization. In order to achieve even an uneasy peace, we suppress our more fundamental urges.

Account Closing Protocol
Threaten to sue? Incredible! Perhaps an age limit or sanity test might prevent the membership of tantrum-throwing sore losers. It is difficult to understand how anyone could get so upset about the words of strangers.

Flo, we all enjoyed Pot and Kettle. They were even cited as examples of humorous, harmless sockpuppets.

M*A*S*H-es cortex, but goes on to observe that a departed MeFite can still read the site, can still waste spend endless hours reading contrary opinions and rue the fact that s/he can no longer dispute them. No one suffers except the now even more frustrated departed MeFite.

Couldn't a person resigning alter his/her profile with the reason?
Why not offer space for the departing haiku suggested earlier or at least a sentence of goodbye? A terminal snark?

Brandon Blatcher: parting shots would be the bonus of allowing goodbye sentences. There is a certain percentage of members that enjoy angry statements. Since there is no apparent practice of disallowing what might be called substandard English, the mods would have little or no additional duties while extra entertainment would be provided for the masses. Win/win.

jessamyn wrote "...He (mathowie) was already annoyed at the glut of email and noise he was getting from it ( another site)".
So he added MetaMail to enable Mefites to spam each other more easily?

Happy stories wanted for the Podcast
I have no happy memories of Kobe Bryant. The most memorable thread that I recall was the pile on suffered by troutfishing. I was young and naive then, but desperately wanted to comment "So long and thanks for all the trout", but I just could not bring myself to that level of nasty. I am much meaner now.

one_bean monomania is so confining. If you try you can find other mefites to loathe. I would volunteer to be loathe-able except for prior commitments.

More traffic at other sites? Big Deal. Perhaps that proves that we mefites are elite. Didn't you always suspect it?

"The solution to this problem, as with all problems can be solved with two useful tools:
1. The IMG tag.
2. The BLINK tag applied to the aforementioned IMG tag.
