word association threads

[ada]

Nils, please put a ban on further word association threads. They are pointless, fatuous and soooooooo boring.

One word association thread you can ignore. But now a second one has cropped up. There is absolutely no need for this unchecked proliferation.

You have the power! Please make this stop!

some people enjoy these threads. This is just your opinion so its not fair to end them. There's only 2 of them and the second almost nobody uses anyway so why do you care it barely uses any space.

You are of course entirely right 

 But there was absolutely no need to start another of these stupid pointless threads. It should be expunged.

I did question the reason for second one when it started; it is still unclear. If people want one, then let them have it. Two seems like carelessness, as a great writer once wrote...

Boulez...

Or anyways, I think the second one should be deleted.  The first one is cool, anyways.

Oh...now theres three...

In that case..

First base.   

*cough*  Actually, I tend to think that it's kind of OK to have two, but anything more than that is overkill.  We could say that one is for the general usage, and one is for Alistair and others who like to use "big words."  A couple of people have wanted for the disscussion to stay on thier level, and with two going, it means that there is a good chance that our average high-schooler will be able to participate in one of them.

But of course, if we had three...

i think they're fine, i just hate that you cant delete it from your "show new replies to your posts" page because it always comes up and its so annoying!

i think we should only have that huge one thats almost 120 pages. the other(s) should be deleted.

Alistair and others who like to use "big words."

Some say that "size matters" and, in certain contexts, perhaps it does, but as far as words are concerned, I have no more care for the size of those that I use than I do for the length of pieces that I write or the numbers of notes in them or the length of individual phrases in them, as long as everything is appropriately proportioned so as to make decent sense; now, in this paragraph, there is one word that happens to contain thirteen letters but, at the same time, there are not far short of 100 words in it that contain only one syllable, so I don't see the point of separate "big word" and "small word" assocation threads...

Best,

Alistair

I only post in that type of posts mainly of boredom or to confuse (or as I say: Discombobulate) others with long words. I think the others should be deleted and only one left...but now the posts are being used less and less.
