What have I done?  [&:]

Oh no, not another limerick thread [8D][8D][8D]

Nothing Trlrboy except revive the limerick thing, which I really enjoyed.  We lost too many of those great limericks when someone deleted them anyway.  Maybe you could start the limerick thread again on a separate subject.

 I once knew some poets of merit
 Who used lighthearted words
 As a carrot.
 They high-jacked some threads
 By using their heads
 And hoped all their readers
 Could " bearit"

Okay, now this makes a lot of sense, to post replies to other people and then go and delete them so the whole thread is a bunch of nothing.  It s like being on Jerry Seinfeld show, all about nothing.     And it would be just about as funny (not) too, if it weren t for the folks who have enough sense to try to get rid of the grouchiness.

There once was a bucket of dead fish
 and it had a bad smell, not delish,
  please empty the bucket
 before we upchuck it
 and make a big mess, oh ish!!

Here s to a thread that got stolen
 Tho its readership seems to be swollen,
 We d all prefer laughter
 And following after,
 The sound of our popups a-rollin
 
 OK gang, lets end this and  admit that even though his style might be somewhat  abrupt, BB did bring up some good points for all of us to ponder about the future of this board (but I said that before on this thread  and NO ONE noticed) and like the poem says, let s laugh and go camping (and if  there are other limericks, Birol is just a dieing for us to take our " art"  ? to his new thread [])

To put this thread back on track, who really cares how many members there really are?
 
 Oh, I guess Bearbait does....... What does it matter? I thought we were here to talk about, and give advice about pop-up camping. And to have some fun.
 
 And bb, I did not hijack this thread with the sing song post. I was trying to calm everyone down. Didn t work....[]
 
 Now if the 2 inches of ice would just go away.......

[birol]

 Jeffrey
I can not take one more of this kind of exchange of words.
 
 I was also trying to lighten up the thread .... Misunderstood , or not understood.
 
 I don t want to alineate anybody or upset anybody ...
 
 Can we get on with the The Tent  and the Limerick and other threads please ?

I just want to express my disappointment in the way some members responded to this post.  While you may not have agreed with Bearbait, he does have the right to ask critical questions.  It is only through open and honest communication as well as looking at ourselves in the eyes of an outsider that we will be able to improve the board and make it more inviting to new members.
 
 The comment was made that this was just like high school, and I have to agree.  When things were said that some did not like they just began talking about anything other than the subject at hand, trying to drown out other peoples opinions.
 
 IMHO this is a very sad day for this board
