Good point. I will in future issue refrain from using this phrase. Thanks for respecting the letter of the rules.

In reply to Marjorie Suddard:
Well, if you used the phrase, does that mean it isn't against the rules? 
In reply to WOW Really Paul?:
are you familiar with the phrase ... "do as I say, not as I do" ?
but she's apologized, and won't be using it anymore ... take a hint ?
Grow up, dude. I'm not your mom.

I was honestly teasing with that one, sorry I ruffled feathers.
Sorry, didn't catch the teasing. The Internet has been extra-internetty lately.

Quoted for truth 
I find all this talk of pie and cake offensive!
I have deleted yet another "political" thread (quotation marks used because a more accurate description would be "excuse to inflame the electorate."
That's the last one that gets deleted. After that, I will use the button we mods see as a little bomb with the fuse lit--which deletes the thread and the account of the original poster, plus his or her history.

In reply to Marjorie Suddard:
It would be really cool if we could see said bomb once initiated and the offender's name.
I promise to post a screenshot.

I just hope I'm around to see it and not the victim of said bomb.
New in here. Thanks for having me. I'm a big fan of classic motors.
And thanks Ed for activating my account.
Marjorie Suddard said:From our Wikipedia page (under "Memes"): Flounder: a person or post that pushes a political ideology, but doesn't necessarily add to the thread or topic - a type of political rhetoric spam. Based loosely on the National Lampoon's Animal House character.
The "not-a-flounder" refers to floundering topics with "not a flounder" in the title, or floundering posts containing that wording. You can say a thing is not a thing all day long, but if it walks like a flounder and quacks like a flounder, it probably is. When in doubt, all ties go to the house.
Also, if you're coming at this under "rules of engagement"--i.e. adversarially--you might want to reconsider. It's supposed to be fun for all involved.

Wow, I learned where Flounder comes from today! Never caught the Animal House reference before.
Hey guys, new here, stoked to get back into some crap-can racing with my MR2!

I looked for this thread to recommend that any person that starts a political thread gets the ban hammer, at least for a month as a warning, for the first offense. It seems that the rules are in place but not being followed. Since it took about ten years of me bitching about politics and religion before that happened I figure if I start bitching about this now...
Oh please. You have to be aware that no one any longer starts a “political” thread. It’s a slippery slope, and here’s a hint: What we’re actually going for is enough restraint to ensure civility. We’ve mostly achieved that, so relax. Good night and have a wonderful weekend.
Margie, Happy New Year!!! thank you for your forethought and civility in these contentious times that we (myself included) could so easily escalate a seemingly innocuous post to another plateau to make one's eye's bleed ....hoping that you do not succumb to the to the diatribe that currently surrounds all of us.......You an Tim be always in my prayers.......peace out B

Cheers for everyone! 
Glad to enter this party as humble as possible. House Rules were noted.

I'm only curious because it was both swift and severe, the way my Phyc 101 professor claimed punishment was supposed to be, and I am a huge ECM fan as a result.
In reply to oldopelguy :
Glad to see another person added to ECM's fan base. She certainly deserves it for all she does on the forum.
Margie
I've always been a fan. She's like the awesome cousin who I always wanted to meet in person but haven't been able to yet that I still brag about to strangers.
In reply to Davin Smith :
There has been a lot of talk about steering clear of politics and in general being an shiny happy person. Perhaps you missed the part about canoes not being welcome?
Hi all, I'm new here. My name is Jeremy.
