Thanks to the administrators.

Thank you David for your insight into this "thin ice" area.  You have a very difficult task as being Administrator and I believe it is up to us all to give you 2 thumbs up, a word or two of thanks, or something else that would be an encouragement to you. 

To the rest of you on this forum, please note that David has been The Administrator on this forum since December 2009, WOW, that is a long time, thank you for your selfless service so that this runs as smoothly as it does.  Between you and Doug (TechNTrek) I have seen you deal with some pretty thorny issues as well as individuals whom you have had the dubious duty to remove off the forum.  Thankfully that has been few and far between, keep up the great work!!!

Originally posted by GlueGuy Originally posted by lostagain It is, again, irony; being silly.  Sometimes me thinks people may be a tad too literal in cyberspace.  We need to relax and laugh at ourselves some times.  It's difficult to express feelings and/or emotions via a text interface. Hence emojis. Sometimes I feel like we need to enclose text inside a "joke" box, or "irony" box.

And/or perhaps doing it the old fashioned way.....giving each other the benefit of the doubt. I THINK that we are all friends here!?!?!?

I know, in the past, I have made tongue in cheek/humorous comments regarding the "camping gods"...sort of poking fun at the ancient Romans and Greeks, who seemed to have a god for every occasion. However, I am secure enough in my personal faith that I understand the absurdity of the humor.

SPEAKING AS AN ADMIN: One of these days, we, as a group, are going to need to deal with "matters of religion/faith". Like weapons, that is something we don't do here. Personally, I have let the religious "tag lines" in signatures slide. However, I probably shouldn't.

In allowing this, we "open the door" to things that may conflict with our own beliefs. If we wish to express our own religious beliefs then we must also be willing to accept that which is different. This is only fair.

The ice is thin on this.

Henryv, some times efforts at humor and irony are missed by some.  Of course there is no such thing as a Pod goddess.  And it's just plain silly to suggest there is; i.e. a joke.  So is saying that you you are being castigated for not going camping.  (Recall, you said you hadn't taken your Pod out camping for a year.)  Pods are a commercial enterprise of Forest River, not a deity.  To suggest otherwise is obviously absurd.
