*runs away squealing like a catholic school girl while everyone else prepares for the manhunt* "They'll never find me here!" I say as I hide near a bush.

Telperion, don't threaten to stalk&kill someone. Not even in jest. It happens often enough in real life that the words alone can be very frightening to the recipient.
We've had several Jatraqueras leave for an extended period of time because of similar postings. When not permanently, at least until after the poster got booted off Hatrack. And even then, their participation hasn't been the same.

I didn't feel threatened at all, so there is no need to delete those comments. BTW, near a bush? I'll go to a freakin' cave then!

But in more related news... this dish sounds very interesting...
Is there such a thing and Jewish restaurants where I could order this? And not just that...but any traditional food? There is a large jewish population in the norther suburbs of Detroit.. I'm sure there must be something up there.

No, it isn't okay. This type of playful behaviour has happened before. And the atmosphere created always eventually devolved until playful use ended up being used as an example/excuse for others to use similar wording in a nonplayful manner on more serious threads.

Permit me to point out that the moderator(s) haven't intervened, the subject in question is neither offended nor bothered and nobody else seems to be disturbed.

The moderators do not make a full-time job of reading postings here. Nor should they have to. We should be responsible enough to take care of ourselves.
And no, I don't file complaints notifying moderators.
However, you weren't here when devolution of the forum atmosphere leading to the previous incidents occurred. If you had been witness, you wouldn't have posted such words in the first place.

Umm..where is that thread? Does it still exist? Why are you so angry at us? If you're not, then why do you seem to be? .........................are you on your period? Posts: 3389 | Registered: Apr 2004

I am neither offended nor angry. Never was. Whenever I type something in anger, I delete it. Nearly always before ever posting it. And if I post it, I delete it within a minute or so.
Several times in the past, there have been forum glitches which either deleted or made it easiest/necessary to delete large sections of past postings to get around, to fix the problems.
I think both of you are very cute (and I don't mean looks alone) assets on this forum. However, personal isn't the same as important.

I think, aspectre, that we leave things as they are since there is no harm done, but understand your point and be more wary of our language in the future. Cool? Posts: 4953 | Registered: Jan 2004

However, if you delete those specific comments, I will feel comfortable in deleting mine. And this derailment can disappear.
An RPG Mafia / mystery-solving game -- in which "assassin"s kill "citizen"s and "citizen"s lynch suspected "assassin"s -- useta be a regular feature of this forum. Enough so that rarely a day passed in which a game wasn't on the front page. Because of those past incidents, they are no longer played on this forum.

Hehe, I like your use of the word "derailment," considering this thread started out as a "Hi Telp, you're awake," and evolved into a discussion about Jewish food and the cooking of internal organs.

actually, I believe mafia is no longer played here because the other forums that were created made it possible to have an entire forum for mafia only, so that the threads could be easily found, and were not intermingled with "regular" threads.

"Because of those past incidents, they are no longer played on this forum."
I think Kama has the right of it. Unless someone knows something they haven't told me, the mods never asked anyone to cut out Hatrack Mafia.

x.X I've no idea what Hatrack Mafia was. And what is this "past incident" being reffered to? Oh, and why am I something "cute" in this forum(I'm not ticked off at this, I just want to know what you meant).
