Taking Down (Temporarily) My Redskins Sigline

Post by Lord Jim »

I am going to take down my Hail To The Redskins portion of my sigline for now and go back to just having it during the football season (Yeah, I know, technically it's still football season, but the 'Skins season ended in about week 6... :( )

I'm doing this in part as a courtesy to other posters because I believe my sigline is a little too large, and (more importantly) because it seems to me that the battle over the team name has been won, (at least for now) so there's really no need to "fly the flag"...

I am certainly NOT taking it down because I have suddenly found the arguments against the team name to be at all persuasive; in fact my purpose in putting up this post is to make that clear. Nor do I have any interest in discussing or debating the topic; I'm posting this as an announcement and explanation, not as a starting point for another round of that pointless debate.

If others choose to use this thread as an excuse to whip that passed-on pony, I obviously can't stop them, but any such discussion will be without my participation. This is is the one and only post I will put in this thread.

That is all...

OK.

However, had you dumped the Washington team logo without explanation I doubt if anyone would have noticed... or cared.

Noticed what?

I have all sig lines on "hide" anyway. Mine's good but the rest are just annoying :lol:

I wish you’d also resize the Remove Trump image, which I wholeheartedly support but which is still overly large.

Here’s a tool:

I turned off siglines ages ago because of the large and annoying nature of many of them.

Carry on.

I turned off siglines quite a while ago too. I like my arguments to be commercial free. If anyone wants to rent my signature space, it's available for a reasonable rate.

Lovely LJ! Almost a bit too small now, but most importantly, it’s now symmetrical which soothes my OCD soul.


Thanks!

I am interested. How much will you charge for your sig line to read: JOE GUY IS A PAIN IN THE ASS? Is the charge by the letter or by the line, or maybe by the word?

Do you want the question mark included? I'm not really sure that sig line would get past my censors.

Yeah, I just checked and it won't.

The rate I charge for (acceptable) sig lines is per word but it depends on how many letters are in each word and the amount of lines they take up.

Well then, in the interest of censors and economy, what is the going rate for JOE GUY IS A PITA, ?

What a disgusting thing to say. She's a married woman and I'm an old white privileged asshole.

Meh, she's the asshole Joe. Meanwhile I await your quote on the price though I may change what I want the sig to say at this point.

Sorry don’t actually read your posts - but can see you are sniffing each other’s asses furiously in this thread. :lol:

I guess you don’t consider Joe Guy your personal stalker anymore, eh @w? :lol:

I need to work out a rate plan. Per view? Per word? Per message?

Then there are probably some messages that might be free of charge but I don't want to start a sig line war - if you get my drift...

Well if you were seriously not reading the posts you would have no idea whether or not there was any ass sniffing going on. Furious or other wise. Now you have made it abundantly clear that you are a fat, broke and miserable cunt who can't stand to see anyone having a good time. Sorry it has triggered you.

Carry on Joe.

Oooooh, are they being mean to me? How exciting! Their second favorite activity after humping and sniffing each other, and sending each other long PMs sharing their tales of woe. :lol: The mating ritual is ramping up! :mrgreen:
