If it starts busting into "Break on through to the other side..." I'll agree it's in poor taste.
I have a great deal of respect for JP2, to be honest, even though I think Catholicism as a whole is truly a frightening force in the world... but I can't bring myself to find this offensive. |

What is your major malfunction, wrav? Does one have to be a Cardinal to find this a little disturbing (mainly the timing of it)? I don't think so. I'm not saying ordinarily one shouldn't joke about the Pope, just that while he's on his death bed... not a classy thing IMO.

This thread rules. Look how many responses it's gotten in just five minutes! You're just jealous you didn't think to post it here, where all non-tech topics belong. It ain't suggestion for improvement I'm making, it's a specific argument about a specific banner. I think it sucks, see?

PS - if I read the entire other thread, I wouldn't be able to respond to you so quickly. Plus, I got the jist of it after about three posts.
PPS - by "major malfunction" I wasn't insulting you but just being a friendly wise-ass as we often do here. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

Hey, I'm the one that when my grandfather (who I was closest to than anyone in my family) died, commented that with his two artificial hips, heart implant, ear implants, and many pins and plates, we might want to look at recycling options to save some money on the cremation... I find very little offensive, and humor is my way of dealing with most life crises.
So maybe I'm not the best bellweather for what may or may not be offensive. |

Kick: OK, if you say so but I don't think a recycling banner would be any better.
Wraven: It rules and you know it (even if I am an ass for persisting so much). Soon others will come and they will see that this thread is righteous and worthy of continued effort, not unlike the grammar thread, which is not so much about grammar as... well you know what I'm saying. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

I understand you are not asking LoCash or anyone else to take it down. You are just late to the party. Mugge and Screensaver400 made the exact same "social commentary" in the other thread (again, redundancy), and LoCash got upset and DID PULL the banner for awhile until some of us talked him into putting it back up.

It's lame and tacky. But what are you gonna do?
On a slightly more serious note: it makes us look bad. I can imagine someone reading Think Secret for the first time today, seeing the "forum" link and seeing AppleNova for the first time, and being greeted with that. What we might view as a one-day-only April Fool's thing (to varying degrees of appreciation), a stranger or newbie would get such a bad initial impression of this place, the folks that run it and all us swell people who inhabit it. Not a good calling card. Last edited by psmith2.0 : 2005-04-01 at 13:54. |

Wraven: you can see clearly now my vision for this thread taking shape. First it was the banners, next we'll take on the courts and corrupt politicians! Or maybe the mods just planned it like this.
Kick: in a handbasket. I'm not sure I can bring myself to talk to you anymore. I feel so... dirty. ...into the light of a dark black night. |
