Not too many, Idolo! I think that Ismart and I are the only two members currently monitoring this thread. As for me, whenever Rick or one of the ather admins pm.s me to ask whether or not they should delete a given thread, I always say, "Don't ask me; ask Idolomantis!"let's see how many people i just pissed off

Of course. If it takes some education to back up a mindless computer, you can imagine how much it takes to back up an ego, and of course, it takes at least a PhD to back up a superego, though most American HS graduates can back up an id. It is said that Freud never did get his ego completely backed up and was still getting "improper command" prompts when he died. This fact is recapitulated in the old American saying, "Marry in haste, starve a fever." Get it?

Geez Kruszakus, what happened to you? When you first joined (and for a while on afterward) we were good friends and you were pretty cool. Now I'm not sure who you are. Your a totally different person who needs to learn how to be humble.
I love all of yous, no hate going on here, to much in the world, member Mr. Magoo in A Christmas Carol? he used to sing " I'm all alone in the world" nothing like being alone, so with me here, you got a friend, unless u wanna send me a foam ooth on a stick and then I have to rethink it! enough of this mush! Kat , u got the right smilies for all occassions, a butt kicking one is just what we need! See I can be tough! :lol:
haha, kinda small for me ol eyes, but I get it! reminds me of when I was bring in wood for the stove tonight, one log fell right on my shin, hey, was that u?
lol, u silly girl, u know it was u! where was u hiding? behind the wood pile or the car?

This is certainly not aimed at you ABbuggin, builder of bridges and veteran of 100 mile bike rides, but I generally find that the majority of humble people don't have much to be very proud of. Not only does Kruszakus keep those whatsit mantids, but, and this impresses me even more (seriously!) he can write verse in a foreign language. And not just a foreign language, one from a different family, West Slavic as opposed to Germanic. He also achieves the slant rhymes which typify hip hop (and country and western!). Did you notice?
Besides, Poland's national status is steadily rising. Last year they passed Latvia, and were predicted to pass Hungary and Lithuania in the Eurostat rankings. The zloty may soon cease to be the joke that it has been pretty much since the end of WWII, so Kruszakus has reason, at last, for national pride as well.
Finally, remember that, aside from the mantids, whatever he does for a living and his social life with girls who like mantids, it seems that his only other pastime involves tossing sandbags around. Surely, you wouldn't deny such a guy the ability to take pride in whatever he can?

I'm half-thinking of creating a section of the forum called the Mosh Pit where all contentious threads are placed. What do you think?
You know what I think? I think it would quickly become the most popular section of the forum...like a tabloid everybody pretends to hate, but then picks up and reads while nobody is looking.
Of course, non-opinionated members could always avoid that section of the forum.
I suppose the rules for that section would essentially be the same. It would still have to be family friendly. But I'm getting rather tired of hearing it from both sides. While both sides appear to dislike the arguing, the ones doing it get upset when posts are deleted and the ones staying out of it get upset because the posts aren't deleted. Where's the happy medium?
Of course, I look at the trend on the scale of decades because I know I'll still be here and that many of you are temporary, but I don't like to see people upset in the present and I'm not sure exactly what to do about it. I suppose absolutely nothing is always an option, eh?
Ya feelin' me?

I wonder where that puts me if I answer this? So confusing! I am married and most married people I know with or without kids argue sometimes! I don't like it, so when I see it I tend to steer clear of it. That's probably why I am the last one to know anything, but I do so like the dark! Shut up Phil! I know the verse :lol:
So u watched Andy Griffin, where Opie has a rag newspaper and they all end up at the dump in the middle of the night to find and read the last edition! And you are right about the pit, only thing that really bothers me about the bickering, is new people who aren't familar with us will probably come on board and see it and think " wow, don't wanna get involved in that" and run off, at least I would, but hubby says I am different! So maybe I an, what of it?h34r:

Good write up Phil. Are you an author of any books? lolThis is certainly not aimed at you ABbuggin, builder of bridges and veteran of 100 mile bike rides, but I generally find that the majority of humble people don't have much to be very proud of.

I'm not denying the fact that he can be proud, but being proud and being boastful are two completely different things. It's perfectly fine to be proud of something, but when a person begins to become boastful about it, something's wrong.
You talk about being humble, while there's some people here, who want to tackle one of the most dificult species, even though all they usually do is collecting mantids from their backyard and keeping them in deli-cups. Furthermore, some of you complain about the price point of Idolomantis set by pro breeders, and when they try to purchase this species, they only do it via shady, suspicious sources - usually with poor results. That's very humble indeed
