Should I send this letter to LucasArts?

[kindofdoon]

Yeah, I knew that about the current TSL website. I was referring to the Save TSL website.

Hooray for Cat!

I think we need to write a letter to Jaleel White, telling him to bring back Family Matters.

No no, Bt.  You've got it all wrong.  We need to write a letter to Bob Sagat and tell him to bring back Family Matters.

Cat was part of the first Save KQIX team, but another big part of it was a fan by the name of Matt Compton who did a great job coordinating and directing people's efforts at the time.

I still send encouraging letters to Bill and Nick from time to time.  I recently asked Bill, "will every dog have his day?", and told Nick to "hold on to his lucky rabbit's foot", using taglines based on the characters they voiced.

A little encouragement can go a long way...

[KatieHal]

Are they interested in reprising the roles...?

[Blackthorne]

So, I wrote NBC and demanded that they bring back the classic TGIF Friday Night Line Up - Full House, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters and Step by Step.  I expect to hear back from them soon - I've also written Patrick Duffy to tell him to hang on, I'm sure his career will re-start as soon as they bring back the show.

Hey, has anyone seen any dead horses? 'Cause I got this stick here....

Hey, has anyone seen any dead horses? 'Cause I got this stick here....

I agree; can we stop now? Please?

Have you ever beaten a dead horse with a stick?  It is oddly satisfying. 

My buddy owns a farm, and I've spent my fair share of time hanging out up there.  About five years ago, the old nag they used to keep in the barn died.  It was pretty sad, and grim because she was a nice horse, and I happened to be visiting the day she died.  We went out to the barn, and found her lying on her side, cold as stone.  My buddy, who has the quiet accepting farmer way about him, just said "Well, it was her time."  Me, being the sarcastic and wonderful guy I am, picked up a stick from the yard, and began to whip her hind quarter. 

"What the hell are you doing, man?"  he asked.

"I'm beating a dead horse," I said, matter-of-factly.

We laughed, and I stopped beating the poor carcass.  In hindsight, it was a little morbid.  But, yeah, it's oddly satisfying.

I'm not allowed in the horse barn alone anymore.

No. However, what we have here is no longer a horse, but a mushy mess of what used to be a horse. So...yeah.

Seriously, guys, it's not even funny. You guys were sent PMs, and what you've been doing is extremely low. Let's start poking fun at your kidney's problems next, BT, shall we?

Enough with this charade, or we'll start banning people here.

Thank you.

I know, because my kidney problems are so ridiculous!  I mean, I know requiring an organ transplant rates pretty high up there on the list of amusing topics.  I knew this guy who needed a liver - man, it was funny how yellow his skin turned!  Knee slapping.

What I am up for is a good "bad TV joke" which is where we were going.  Bad Asp said he's going to write Tell Tale, and I think that's the best course for his cause.  At this point, I'm just trying to see how ridiculous we could get and maybe make each other laugh.  I'm not making fun of anybody's crusade at this point.   I'm just having fun being ridiculous.  Honestly, I just told a story about beating a dead horse.  You can't get more silly than that.  (And half that story IS true!  My buddy does own a farm that I hang out at quite frequently.  I, however, have never beaten a dead horse.  A dead goat, sure.  But not a horse.)

I already said it. We won't tolerate this behavior around here. You are poking fun at everything and anything Bad Asp is saying, which I find extremely low especially because you were sent a PM. Because he's not joking with you, that's a form of bullying, for your information. Again, that sort of behavior will not be tolerated. I don't care if you guys are sarcastic with us directly, that's all in fun, a little distasteful sometimes, but we can take your comments no problem. But this is just not cool. That's all.

Then by all means, lock this thread.  That's your prerogative.  No need to make a public spectacle.

[KatieHal]

At worst, what Cez said is true--at best, simple joking has gone on overly long to the point where more than one person thinks that's true. Either way, this has wandered off the topic of the original post. If you want to keep pu jokes about old sitcoms or whatever else, make a new thread for it, please.

[Bad Asp]

Yeah!

[Blackthorne]

No problem.  Dead horse stick put away.  Good luck with your letter writing campaign, Bad Asp.

If you really thought it was that inappropriate wouldn't you just ban someone (or have locked the thread when he said he would write to telltale) rather then make a comment about an illness they have? I think comparing BTs continued joking about writing a letter to the wrong person to poking fun at someones real life illness is a stretch.

If you want forum members to treat others with respect then you should do so even when enforcing the rules, "your banned because what you were doing is low", is a far more appropriate then, I will think up a real life thing that has caused you pain and suggest we tease you about that.

I realise this thread and issue needs to be dead and buried, I only posted this as I think it is  worth you thinking about what way you choose to police the forums and how you treat people who are acting inappropriately
