Pia, you're a member of PETA? I almost choked on my harp seal burger when I read that.

Oh, and don't let the media fool you. Harp seal taste nothing like bald eagle.



Shawn.....><

Quoted from M.Alexander Lady I could care less who agrees or disagrees with me.  It's not about me.  You missed the point completely.

I did not miss it. I'm just commenting without causing firestorms at SS.

Shawn, yes, I am. However, I do eat meat, I'm just against animal factories and their fctory slaughter. Slaughter can be done in a humane way.

Your initial comment to this subject was sarcastic and somewhat snide.   Or at least I perceived it that way.  Then again I don't really know you so maybe that's just your style, for lack of a better word.     No worries.

Seems this thread's gotten slightly off track.

Cool down period!

Pia in no way meant to be snide. She doesn't even speak snide. She's Swedish.

Let's let this one go. You started a great thread, let's keep it going without the drama.

Been tons of that lately.

We're fine.    

Hey, M.Alexander...I thought you said like 45 posts ago you were all done with the thread you started?  What happened?  For some odd reason, you literally questioned me and a script I wrote.  I'm confused here.

Should we all try to write for Lifetime or the like?  Is there no place any longer for murder and mayhem?

I used your script as a mere example.  I'm pretty sure sure you'll get over it.   

PS - You're welcome for the plug, Jeff.

I understand completely and I do appreciate any and all plugs, but my point is still that you started the thread, you didn't like the opinions you received, and then you said you were bowing out - but you didn't.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Shawn, yes, I am. However, I do eat meat, I'm just against animal factories and their fctory slaughter. Slaughter can be done in a humane way.

I feel like I should tell a morally responsible tale when I write.
Perhaps that's enough in the face of such sad events.

And Pia... word!
You're in good company too...

Brett, I remember watching about her and her ideas on 60 minutes or 20/20 or one of those shows years ago. Btw, if I quit writing one day, one of my other ideas I always wanted to give a try is to become a turkey farmer. Free range of course. Weird, I know!  

I remember writing a horror that had some torturous moments in it "cough", but I justified it by all the victims being child molesters/rapists and that sort.

Quoted from Electric Dreamer You're in good company too... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Grandin Regards, E.D.

They made a biopic about Temple Grandin of the same name starring Claire Daines. Great film.

Seriously?  That's your beef here?   You're pretending to miss the point.    Nice try.  And Pia you should do something about that cough.  Sounds like you're sick.

Quoted from Dreamscale I do appreciate any and all plugs...butt!

Apparently the spirit in which this thread was intended has officially been derailed.  Even a mod's joining in on the hijinks.  Way to go, bern.

Once started, it is impossible to control the destiny of any thread.  Have you not seen some of the train wrecks around here?  As if this crowd would actually listen to me, anyway.  It is herding kittens, man.

The thread's author -- and yes, even mods -- will often stand helpless in the steam-roller path of inertia, unchecked chaos, and random smartasses.

And, yes, it is completely against the rules for me to have any fun at all.  Ever.

I'll pass this on to bern.
