Internet "Road Rage"
Saw this and thought of this place:
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/new...F?OpenDocument
It parallels some discussions here recently about the nature of moderators and the 'policing' of our behavior. No solutions from me, just thought I'd share.

A very intersting article. I have come up with the solution, though: It consists of two jumper cables connected to each ear lobe. That then plugs into the USB port and a 110 socket. When you get out of line, the moderators can press the button and POP!!!!! you realize the error of your ways, sure to TREAT YOUR MODERATORS WITH RESPECT!!!
Ahh... yep... I need some addresses to start sending out the product. Who would like to be the first test subject???? How about Sailaway?? Jusyt think of the posts:
... it has become obvious that I must address the issues in a (several paragraphs of thorough pontification)... that CD has without a doubt crossed the subtle consciousness of acceptability in social- ZAPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! - aarghhh... WHAT WAS THAT WHERE IS MY BUBBLE GUM???? WHAT DID I SAY AND CD WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT- ZZAAAPPPPPP!!!! - MY GLASSES, I CAN'T SEE... WHAT IS THIS IN MY LAP??? OH NO!!! ONE OF THE EAR LOBE TERMINALS HAS FALLEN INTO MY LAP ON MY-ZAAAPPPPP!!!ZAPPPPP!!!! ZAAAPPPP!!!!!!
Silence for many weeks. Comprehendible posts less than 5 paragraphs to answer yes or no. Hillary wins the election. And the moderators get to take a nice, well earned vacation...
Yep. I like the idea. I am sure Cam will approve too. Just need that address from ya SA...

Yeah, giving CD a button linked to a shock device is a really good idea.... if you want to see a great exemplar of power corrupting...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I agree, you are all a bunch of crap heads that can't hold water, most don't own a sailboat, or have ever been on a boat.
Some of you think a sailboat should only have one hull. Moronic luddites I say.
There, got it off my chest and now I can go out and be civil on the other threads.

Chuckles was my first test subject. I just did a quick jolt and look what happened to the top of his head. I am concerned to pursue it further or things might start falling off the man!!
I do not feel this will be an issue with Sailaway - though I honestly do not know the effects of electricity running through a hydrogen filled vacuum...
HEHEHEHE!

PS It is so fun insulting SA when he is not here to defend himself!!

The gold in the anchor on my ear will melt - you'll have to find contact
point(s) lower down - and for that, we'll have to be engaged. I eagerly
await your proposal and payment of dowry.
