I agree....time to pull the plug on this thread. It has exceeded its useful life.

OK...no more Ward posts for me...this is not one.
I continue to laugh at poeple who don't think...just post on emotion.
Pull the plug?
Folks...I'm sure this forum is a labor of love for Don, but it is not simply done for the fun of it. He has to sell advertising...interent advertising is based on one thing, and one thing only...click counts.
Yes, it the past, Don had shut down threads, when the posts consisted of people just tearing into each other, and threatening each other...that is not the case here.
Here we have a thread 8 pages long, with over 36000 views, in a wildly hot topic in the lake's region.
This is a selling tool for Don, when he looks for advertisers in the future.
He shows them where people go for their info, and to discuss, when something big happens. WHAT HE DOES NOT DO...is tell the check writing advertisiers..."well, I shut it down when it gets over 36000 views."
Think people...think. While I'm sure Don does this because he wants to, and possibly enjoys it a bit, I'm sure he wants to make his expenses, as well as turn a profit if there is one avaiable.
Shut down the thread with the all time highest click count???!!! AAAHHHHHH...I grow weary....

I guess that depends on if "Free Ward Bird" becomes "Pardon Ward Bird"

Why hasn't this thread been moved to the Issues section?

That should happen and that should be a new thread.

JUST MY OPINION. It seems like a few posters get caught up in a "firefight" of rapid reactionary responses to reveal their opinions and when they tire, the call for "closing the thread" is used instead of a "civil truce". I for one spend more time watching and learning than posting but do enjoy the extreme positions.

Great game - GreenBay wanted to win. Steelers never seemed to rise to the occasion. I hope Ward Bird enjoyed the game as he wanted (FREE).

It seems like a few posters get caught up in a (firefight) of rapid reactionary responses to reveal their opinions and when they tire, they call for (keeping a thread alive) instead of "civil truce". I for one spend more time time watching and learning than posting. But do not enjoy the postion of " beating a dead horse "

Hey....I still say that Ward would have been a lot better off carrying a broom and not a forty-five. Brooms are much less intimidating and can be used to sweep up the floor. You try sweeping the floor with a forty-five and you'll end up with a floor full of holes, plus brooms do not generally involve you with a need to hire a defense attorney!

Is there such a thing as a carry holster for a broom?

Completely uncalled for...don't know if you thought you were being clever...
