Don't Post MeMail In Threads

January 10, 2008 9:58 PM

Don't post MeMail to a thread without the explicit permission of the sender. Like this. This is so very no on so many levels.

MetaTalk: This is horrible and something we shouldn't be looking at, and I'm going to show it to you.

So, a callout of something in a callout of another callout? Seriously? This couldn't manage to find a place in one of the other threads?

I'm going to start a thread to callout this callout, and then we will spiral into an infinitely regressing series.

I promise not to post any of my non-existent MeMail to a thread.

dersins,

The only way to solve this is to call out scrump in a separate thread. This thread is devoted solely to mefimail standards, not call out standards.

I think we need to close MetaTalk for a week.

Yay, another MetaTalk thread that can in no way end well. Hopefully someone can turn this one into a trainwreck by posting someone's Social Security number or calling in a bomb threat.

Don't post a new MeTa thread about a subject that is already being debated in two open MeTa threads on the same fucking day. Like you did. This is so very no on so many levels.

I'd start a thread about it if I were you Effigy2000. This will not stand!

*looks down at something shiny* Oh! A penny!

How about, "Don't make six posts a day to MetaTalk"?

Don't post MeMail to a thread without the explicit permission of the sender.

This says it all, and we don't need yet another thread here, so I'm closing this.
