My Final Topic on the Star BB (Before it was yanked)... - Page 3

htismaqe · 08-24-2000, 10:55 AM

To the Star BB Admin:

I wanted to personally thank you for your recent actions in deleting these non-relative topics from this perfect example of what a properly run bulletin board should be.

Unlike most, I understand the business aspects of your decision. The idea of giving your clients free choice on what topics they discuss has made this one of the most attractive football BBs in the country, but think how successful it CAN be when you start controlling the topics!

If the masses (your clients) knew what was best for them, they would realize that the interaction between this large community of friends is not what attracts others, nor what keeps this BB (unlike most others) relatively civil. I applaud your decision to step in and force your clients to do what is in their own best interests. Everybody knows that a successful business does not cater to it’s clients, but rather it forces it’s customers to do what the company tells them to.

If only your clientele were smart enough to study history! Then they would know that a free market environment always leads to chaos and repression, whereas the true path to success and prosperity lies with central planning.

So again I applaud you for treating your loyal customers like the dim-witted sheep that they are. I do have one suggestion however, if by some miracle you discover that you’ve made a strategic error with this decision, never admit it. That would be a sign of weakness and no self respecting bureaucracy would ever reverse a decision once made ~ whether the decision was good, or bad.

Luz
Good bye everyone…

So you're claiming women [b]aren't[/b] the cause of everything that's wrong with the world?

Excuse me Mr. Dole,

But Women must be superior as we were made to correct the first version!!!

The-Man · 08-24-2000, 01:58 PM

Mark a little humor about Clint...I'll have to check it out!

Pam - No woman was made as a companion for man. Now if Adam would have known that companion meant opiniated, whiney, bossy, moody and just generally there to ruin all of our fun then he might have kept his big mouth shut and been happy with his dog spot!

(That sort of hurt a little bit...)

[i]generally there to ruin all of our fun [/i]

LOL... The wife and I have a running joke about the fun meter. It doesn't matter how far away she is, but the second I open a beer, turn on the tube, or sit in front of the PC, her fun meter goes off. She is immediately reminded of the many tasks still on my 'honey do' list that have been there for months.

Hey, I love women! Where else would I put my morning wood? [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously, folks, I'm married and I just found out I've got a kid on the way...hopefully a boy! [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

My wife laughs at my chauvinist wisecracks...I guess they're a little more humorous face-to-face!

Congrats Clint!!!

Clint - Congradulations! I'm still freaking out about my own wife being pregnant with our first. Best wishes for a healthy baby. Sarcasm is really hard to do with words, I'm sure I failed in my attempt to get Pam going.

King_Chief_Fan · 08-24-2000, 05:50 PM

A kindler, gentler Clint! [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
