    Lucy - stay on topic or you're out the door. image One committee at a time - this one is probably going to take years to get off the ground.

    Jim you were never in a position to be overthrown - you were merely deceiving yourself. Sorry and nice try.


  • << <i>It is anticipated that we would need the cooperation of the following people, among many others, in order for this idea to work: Adrian (who has exhibited exemplary behavior, as of late), Lucy, Russ, DCAM (who, by the way, has been showing a willingness to cooperate lately), Clark, JWarren (oops, he left with the elections) and CoinDr (if he chooses to return). >>



    What, exactly, do you mean by

    << <i>cooperation >>

    ?????

    Clark - cooperation=good behavior, no flaming, name calling, etc.

    I'm a legend in my own mind.

    Then, there would be no need for the committee.... hmmmm...... image

    Clark, make our (the "committee's) day - put us all out of a job withyour good behavior. image
  • Are we just goin to talk about this or r we goin to do something. I say we Kick Michael of the forum and take all his awesome coins.

  • I was wondering, perhaps all fights should go to the CHAT area? Also, why do you suppose we all use this part of the forum instead of chatting in real time? I noticed that there is FUSE chat, a live chat area. Anyone know why this isn't used more?

    Wait just a daggummed minute here! Do you mean I wasn't singled out as one whose behavior should be emulated by others due to my exemplary goodness? image

    Is it the general concensus of the "committee" that I'm a disruptive force on this board?

  • Mrs. Coinboard, seems we may need your services. Would you please grab your rollingpin and report to my office? image
  • Mrs. Coinboard: This is a Peace thread, dears. Nobody is calling anybody here disruptive. Now I'm passing out some paper, and you each have a little scissors... I want you to each make a special little Thanksgiving day card for one of the other members... CLARK!!!!!

  • Hey Mark! If you are sending Lucy out the door.........could we shake her down for any loose Franklins?
  • Just wondering why I was singled out.

    How come everyone has pointy scissors except me?

    DCAM - you've expressed a great deal of personal interest in Mrs. Coinboard today and have tried, more than once, to get her to go somewhere private with you hmmm.........
  • Pardon me Mrs. Coinboard. It seems someone slept through your class today. image
  • Seems you need an update on school policy. Vicious rumors will not be tolerated. Mrs. Coinboard, whack him!

  • Mr. Chairman, do we recognize self-nomination?....I didn't think so. Would someone please take the stovepipe hat fellow to the line behind Lucy?.......Hey, see if the fine gentleman from Illinois has any pennies on him before he goes!

    That wasn't a self nomination.It was a statement of fact.Check the threads.If you did a little more of that than some of your posts,you wouldn't have as many problems.IMHO

    Don, this is a light-hearted peace thread and DCAM has (hopefully) turned a new leaf.
  • ldhairldhair Posts: 7,232 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Time will tell.
    Great thread Mark.

  • Would someone please bring the fine gentleman from Illinois a sense of humor?....Mrs. Coinboard just what do plan to do with that rollingpin? Don't........too late!

    C'mon Mark, I want to see more COMMITMENT in that statement.
  • Man! 80 replies, with peace intact, and not even ONE post from Bear yet. I am certain we would be hearing the growl of approval.

    Mrs. Coinboard: I couldn't agree more, Clankeye!
    Clankeye: Thanks, Mrs. Coinboard!
    Mrs. CB: Oh dear... you're looking kind of cute in those jeans....
    Clankeye: Hey....

    OK - DCAM has definitely turned a new leaf. Now if we can just get him a date with Mrs. Coinboard and her rolling pin, he very well might be the best behaved person on this board.
  • Wellllll....I don't know........Lucy went and raised the stakes with that shakedown comment! That rollingpin tain't lookin' so good anymore!

    bohica268 - every time you go "plonk" you prolong this thread. Is that your intention? If so, keep "plonk"ing away.
  • ldhairldhair Posts: 7,232 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Will the committee have to prove it's you or is it an honesty program?

    I would strongly recommend Pushkins cat for master at Arms (ENFORCER)

    Mark or others.

    Just wondering if there is a way for members to vote on issues.
    One other thought is a rating system that works and shows next to ones icon.
    Please don't send the rolling pin after me for saying that...I know it's really out of the box.
    Lots of great thoughts and humor to this thread.

    Thanks Mark.
    Maybe the answer is to have a thread like this more often.

    I know of no way for members to vote on issues, other than through threads where someone could agree to keep an unofficial count.

    There is a rating system (of sorts) for members to rate each other. But, there has been confusion about whether a 1 is best or if 10 is. The answer is 10. You can find a user's rating by looking at his profile, by clicking on the eye glass icon at the upper right of a post, if the user has enabled that feature.

    Glad you enjoyed the thread and fear not, the rolling pin.

  • Well my earlier comments was me being my usual goofball self. I'll be serious just for a moment. If you want a forum peace committee I say start up your own Peace Forum. I'll stay out I promise. That forum can be nothing but die cracks and pop reports and you can speak to each other with yes sirs and no sirs. I realize coins put the food on the table for many of you and this Peace forum should be as serious and reverent as going to church. I go to work each day strapping on a S+W 64, bullet proof vest, hand cuffs and pepper spray. I drive a state issued vehicle with a cage in the back. Most dealers that know what I do, knowing the projects I work in tell me they would never want my job. For the record I love my job, however it's a serious job. You guys don't want to be on the other end of my serious side, I've sent guys to prison. So when I get home and log in this forum it is a bit of relief for me. I can screw off, crack jokes (altough I realize they're not all gems) and don't have to be serious for awhile. I like the forum just like it is, with a bit of Jerry Springer thrown in. I vote for a seperate Peace Forum.

  • Mark- We still hope you are able to make this work. Seems you still have some work to do and some commitments to gather. Good luck!
  • Agentjimm007 - I understand completely. I too find it quite refreshing to be able to enjoy the friendly give and take of this forum. BTW, thanks for doing what you do on the job.

    Coinguy1 - We still need the motto. I'll resubmit "Remember, only you can prevent Forum Fires."
    Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

    A Forum Peace Committee is dumb.
    How about a Forum Franklin Committee? Noone seriously collects Peace dollars anyway. image
  • Agentjim007-- you have been tried by a double secret non-military (but militant) forum committee which has found you guilty! GUILTY! GUILTY! I can reveal the names of no one on this committee accept John Ashcroft, who is a fervent, passionate collector of all coins that say God on them. Your punishment is harsh. It has been decided you must remain on these forums... forever. You must post to every thread, you must respond to every question, you must comment on all submission results, and you must read the dreaded "Good Morning Class" series. This punishment is non-negotiable and effective imediately. May God have mercy on your soul.

    RLinn--
    Your motto is a winner. The committee will be sending extra meat rations to your housing unit this Christmas.
