OK
Despite our policy and etiquette being present on our forum main page, and a reminder announcement posted at the top of every forum, it is apparent that this is not enough for some people, so I will re-iterate here.
Please read the following before entering our forums
1. Please respect your fellow users: debates are welcome, but [b]no personal attacks[/b]. If you believe that someone is acting contrary to good faith and/or our Forum Guidelines & Etiquette, then take it up with a moderator. [b]Direct confrontations do not work in a public forum[/b]. If you believe an unwarranted or aggressive post has been directed at you [b]DO NOT RESPOND[/b] to that person in the forums. Send an email to [email]forums@hhmedia.com[/email], an administrator or moderator will look into the matter with you.
3. As in most public forums, attacks based on another's membership in an identifiable group such as race, ethnic origin, gender and/or sexual orientation are not allowed. Always remember when posting: [b]if there's a chance someone may misunderstand or misconstrue your intended meaning, then someone inevitably will[/b]. Be careful - posting a text-based message loses all of the nuances of voice and face-to-face communication. People may not understand sarcasm and dry wit the way you intended.
6. No profanities or otherwise use of foul language. We will be deleting any messages containing profanity. [b]We reserve the right to decide what is and is not profane[/b].
This is an internationally accessible forum, the world can read and post on this forum. It is important while bearing point #3 in mind that different regions in the provinces/country/continent/world may have different understandings of words and language used. This ought to be obvious for those in a multi-cultural environment (such as Toronto).
It should be noted by "We" in the policy and guidelines, it refers to the House & Home forum staff, not it's members.
This thread has been closed as it's not serving for anything but a launching platform for the playground bickering between the select few.
Kind regards and thank you,
Kindly take leave of this forum you have worn out your welcome.
Kind of like you did when you got BANNED before, and now back as someone else? I don't take orders from someone with 17 posts, and who happens to be a previously banned member. :rolleyes:
Now catwoman, crawl back into your hole
A few people YOU have taken pot shots at lately enjoyed the comment, not sure about anyone else in the boonies though. It's interesting but most folks would be more offended by the destructive rodent part, just an observation.
Glaswegian.
Kindly take leave of this forum you have worn out your welcome.
Bet that line of joke is huge in the boonies where you are? I am anything but fat, but eh I don't discriminate against those that are fat :rolleyes:
Now catwoman, crawl back into your hole
I didn't see anything wrong with your title. Some people need to learn to restrain themselves and to stop with the sexual innuendo.
glaswegian get a life! You are annoying most of the time... :confused:
Say that to the person that started the thread
no...but has that ever stopped him :rolleyes:
that really necessary Glas?
Am guessing that thread title was meant to create a shock factor? Willy is one thing, willie is another ....
I was watching Martha yesterday and she said the same thing!! I think I'll go with the shorter winter version, thanks.
kipper
now what does that tell you...we as humans with all the weather predicting technology depend on lil rodents...makes ya wonder huh...LOL
the ground hog saw his shadow according to the Penn. radio station I was listening to as I drove through Wednesday. So who knows. We will just have to wait lol.
you're probably right Foxxy...i just found this...oops sorry
The new Wiarton Willie is also known as "Wee Willie," and is another albino groundhog. There are actually two Wee Willies—Wee Willie and Wee Willie-2—for good measure.
main thing...is SPRING IS COMING!!! SPRING IS COMING!!!! :cool:
quite possible...for some reason i thought the new rodent was named Sheldon.... :confused: ...no clue where i got that name from....
According to CBC News, the "second most famous"—after Wiarton Willie—is Punxsutawney Phil of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania (immortalized in the movie Groundhog Day). There is also "Brandon Bob" of Brandon, Manitoba, "Staten Island Chuck" in New York, "Balzac Billy" in Alberta, "Shubenacadie Sam" in Nova Scotia, and "Gary the Groundhog" in Kleinburg, Ontario.
Wiarton Willy was the name on the radio yesterday.........his son maybe ? :)
is his name still Willy?...i thought Willy was pushing up daisy's now?? :confused:
i thought so...
There has been more than one Willie over the years. The original Willie was famously found dead, in his burrow three days before the scheduled appearance in 1999. That year's festival became a memorial for the special rodent, though his keeper claims that Willie provided his prediction before his death. He was replaced the following year, by another albino groundhog.
