The only thing I don't want to see is that the jokes or anything like the jokes, become a way of shutting down a post that isn't liked...that is up to the moderators & that is what they are for. It should not be in our hands to make it shut down but go through the proper methods to get it shut down via the moderators...

As I see it, everytime this tactic works, it reinforces this action..."it worked once today, it should have worked by now".

I really liked the jokes & enjoyed them more than the posts that they ended, had me laughing really hard......but I still find the action inappropriate in the fact that when something like this is started, it can end up being as bad as everything else that is going on here. What is there to stop it from happening everytime that a thread isn't liked....

I still say let the people in charge take care of these things....and we can let them know when something is going on that we don't like.

I would love to have a special forum just for jokes...gotta get doc interested. It would be better than hunting them out of a forum that has many other things in it....laughter is great for healing, relaxing, & just clearing the mind.....

With this, I end my soap box.
