Mods: The DH problem; The Final Solution
 

Dear Moderators,

I have a couple of suggestions as to how to stem the haemorrhaging of long term, often valuable, contributors from these fora in the face of the plague of inane drivel perpetrated by the DH brigade.

Many of us remember that the Maple Leaf was established to inoculate the main Canada Forum from off-topic threads; I suggest that now is the time for a booster shot.

Since these dull, dull people are apparently too dull to find the Lounge, please either relocate their tedious chitchat there or, even better, set up a sub-forum for them. Working title "The Dull Housewives Quarantine Ward"

Thank you for your kind attention,

Novo.

I left it vague so as to simulate discussion seeing as this is what is required....you just do what you think is the right thing to do....if you want to treat it as a question feel free. If you wish to begin debate....be my guest....I thought I would just put up a thought provoking title to get the interesting conter-arguments, statements whatever it is that you wish to call them going....

Begin :rofl:

IMHO - Darwin set no store by randomness. New variants might arise at random, or they might be acquired characteristics induced by food, for all Darwin knew.

Far more important for Darwin was the nonrandom process whereby some survived but others perished. Natural selection is arguably the most momentous idea ever to occur to a human mind, because it — alone as far as we know — explains the elegant illusion of design that pervades the living kingdoms and explains, in passing, us.

Whatever else it is, natural selection is not a "modest" idea, nor is descent with modification.

Have you read THE EDGE OF EVOLUTION: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism by Michael J. Behe, or are you just quoting the opening paragraphs?

Hey Mods. Don't get on the site much these days but aren't there several threads which are in reality all sub threads about the same subject?
How many 'DH' threads does one forum need, discussing tedium and having a dig at the same group of contributors?

The most tedious thing on returning to the forum? The tedium threads.
TEDIOUS. TEDIOUS. TEDIOUS.

Thinking back when I was mid move, I was on here with the likes of burtonbunch and stressing about the shippers, the kids, the OH. Were we the original dull housewives? :rofl:

Knock the bitching on the head folks and get a life?

Re: The Invasion of the Dull Housewives
 

Ive read winnie the pooh does that count ?

Re: Mods: The DH problem; The Final Solution
 

The Maple Leaf is for off-topic chat, if you don't like a thread topic you don't have to read it.

Re: Mods: The DH problem; The Final Solution
 

I've been away for ages, good to see nothing's changed :thumbup:

Re: Mods: The DH problem; The Final Solution
 

..... and as I've just realised you have already started a thread on this topic I'm closing this one. Surely the topic isn't that interesting that you want to discuss it further .... or perhaps you are just bored? ;)

Re: The Invasion of the Dull Housewives
 

I was trying to subtley point out that although HPM's post began IMHO, his HO seems to coincide word for word with a paragraph from the above book.

As for Pooh, of course he counts.

And here's a question for you:

what's brown and rhymes with snoop?

Re: The Invasion of the Dull Housewives
 

is this a trick question ?

Re: The Invasion of the Dull Housewives
 

I'm afraid you're pissing in the wind, mate.

Re: The Invasion of the Dull Housewives
 

yes

Do you want the answer?

Re: Mods: The DH problem; The Final Solution
 

Actually I've changed my mind, I think I will merge it with the one already in progress.

Re: The Invasion of the Dull Housewives
 

oh yes please
