This dysfunctional thread couldn't have came along at a better time. People were dropping the 'fire like flies because they were so sick of the politics and the ranting. There was barely one thread that could squeak by without someone calling out someone else and the whole thing turning into a chit show.
As someone (Kingston?) earlier stated, we found out one thing with this thread and that is that we will stick together for our guys (paraphrasing that)
Point being, it took attention away from the crap for a bit and brought out the best (and the worst) in some people.
Mojo's thread is hilarious and only rates this thread at 2.5 stars or something like that.
I rate it a solid 3 on getting peoples minds off of the crap we can't control.

There sure are a lot of America haters that want to live here...
Because of delays in responses, I'll assume in being even more fair, grown, intelligent men here, who I greatly respect,and who have raised families and helped loved ones who have endured this heart breaking dynamic sometime or many times in their lives somehow think there is something redeeming about this thread? Really?
Please tell me you just got caught up in the bullschit of some stupid-assed fun without thinking it through.
Travis,or whoever you are: I guess you were trying to F with me too or you began to realize you might have over-stepped your bounds for a day...or a month, whatever is the truth now. Anyways, here's the response that was awaiting what you've been ignoring, ======
Really, man?
Some folks might really need the help and hope they can possibly find inside the vast amount of trusted BTDT experiences inside our membership. Now, they might be afraid to ask for fear of being ridiculed.
A month long April Fool's joke about despair? You must think everyone you speak to doesn't have any more brains than the several handfuls who believe this is funny rather than pathetic.
Tricking trusting and compassionate folks is easy and takes no superior skill set, at all. Kids do it to their parents all the time. All you'd need to pull it off are trusting and compassionate people who believe you're a person who is hurting, in need of help and is deserving of that help.
Which of the two would you want teaching your kids?
You're a good man and I enjoy your contributions; always have.You're deservedly respected.You also might have made someone who was inspired by your initial thread pick up that drink again.
Do they GFY or do you?
F***k the politics and all our other battles. We know we'll sort that out because we have to and we have no choice, as pawns in the game.
This is on us, though. It's not funny and it's not who we are and you know it. Instead of getting along, let's get it right.
The premise of this thread is wrong. Pathetically wrong. Let's own it and move on.
Shame on us, otherwise.
You saved me a bunch of typing, Bob. Probably one of the most classless, ill conceived and humorless threads I've seen here.
Can someone please tell Mike Weiner that I've had him on ignore for months now so he can quit trying to offer me advise on my "Gullibility".... Thanks for the heads up on that one Travis.... It was nice to catch up with via texts all week, You were right for sure, classic thread.
Glad I got to sit in on this from the stage to backstage....
Conceiving this gem for over a year,huh? High UBER fives for you both, I guess. You nailed who, again?
Walk away from this pathetic BS or own it.
I think they did own it.
By your standard, do we have wring our hands over the prospect of an obsessive tosser visiting the 223AI thread? Or a fat arse in the Cooking/food subforum?
