I'll repost it if someone can tell me which EOTW video it is…

  1. This one?
  2. This one?
  3. This one?
  4. This one?
  5. This one?

There are so many.

3162. wonkers2 - 10/8/2008 10:13:24 PM

I think it was #1. However, my favorite and the most likely is #4. They all are worth watching. Thanks!

Here's the English version that I believe was posted by the WIZ:

Doomsday Scenario--Large impact collsion

Thanks wonkers, that link works fine (and the Pink Floyd soundtrack brings back some memories… ). No need to re-post the video, imo.

Also found at that site — CNN compares SNL to actual Palin interview. Sad, actually.

Wow! That's a great one? Maybe McLame should have picked Tina!

HELP

Would someone delete msg num 37656 in American Politics???

I posted a WaPo video twice by mistake and the second one seems to have frozen the thread


Sorry

Jex, Magos is gone for the day...I can call her later, though.

3168. jexster - 10/9/2008 8:09:31 PM

Better you than me..I've a bone to pick with Mags who dared to interrupt my Tuesday debate watch..didn't you?

Can you post to AP JAH? How about you Jen?

CAT FIGHT!

3169. magoseph - 10/10/2008 12:05:15 AM

Jex, e-mail Wabbit at viwabbit@yahoo.com.

By the time I saw this, the thread had scrolled past the point of having a problem (although it actually wasn't a problem for me, the second video just kept loading, but nothing froze). Still, thanks for the heads-up, I deleted the duplicate post. It would have given me a headache when I next archived posts.

VK and others have observed that now there is less serious discussion and opinion posted on The Mote than previously. It occurs to me that increasing the permitted number of words in a single post on all threads or on certain threads might encourage more serious discussion. I've run up against the per post word limit several times and had to break my comment into two or three posts. On other occasions I've just not bothered to post something that I wanted to cut and paste from another source (a w2 letter to the editor, for example). Right now I have a long one on a bit of auto industry history that I was going to post until I realized it was too long. ??? [This is not intended as a complaint but rather a suggestion. I don't know what the thinking was/is behind the per post word limit.]

Is it true that Jexter has been banned? If so, I would like to know by whom this decision was made and the reasoning behind it. My impression is that there are plenty of participants who disagree? Wabbit????...Anybody else???... If Jexter has been banned I hereby object strongly.

3173. David Ehrenstein - 1/6/2009 1:04:42 AM

Me too. WTF?????

Where's Jex? Let him roam free!

3174. wonkers2 - 1/6/2009 2:25:52 AM

I agree. And I didn't see any announcement on The Mote? I wonder what gives? Is wabbit another Sister Aloysius Beauvier? Where are you Wabbit? Come out of your hole!

3175. arkymalarky - 1/6/2009 2:46:29 AM

MsNo and I are moderators. Get down off your soapbox and email him if you want to know where he is.

3176. arkymalarky - 1/6/2009 2:50:33 AM

If Wabbit or either of us makes such a move you'll figure it out a lot faster if you just check with Jex.

3177. wabbit - 1/6/2009 3:09:53 AM

That decision was made by me. We've been through this over and over and over. Enough already. I explained my rational well over a month ago, as you well know, and I said then there would be no announcement. You don't like it? Too bad. This forum is more than Jexster and he does not get to gloat about running people out of the forum. Miss that, did you? Again, too bad. He's been given every opportunity and he has consistently continued to display no sense of community or regard for this place. Feel free to help him set up a blog where he can post what he wants and "roam free", but he's done here.

This place has been created and maintained by volunteer effort from the start. People have been asked many times to help out, and nobody wants to do it because it's a thankless task. I blame myself for allowing Jexster to get away with being a troll for years, and since it was my fault, it is also my responsibility. And now it's a done deal.

I've explained this until I'm blue in the face. Complain all you want, but I will not explain it again.

3178. wonkers2 - 1/6/2009 3:26:45 AM

Bye, Bye! I couldn't disagree more. I gave you credit for a lot more than you deserve.

3179. wonkers2 - 1/6/2009 3:31:02 AM

You have acted in a very petty, intolerant and dictatorial way, contrary to the wishes of a significant number of participants. Are you familiar with the word consensus. I didn't detect any consensus beyond the continual crybaby VK who whines a lot and contributes little. I beg you to reconsider this very disappointing and counter-productive decision. The politics thread has been much less interesting lately thanks to your decision.

3180. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/6/2009 3:38:02 AM

Who did he run out and gloat over?
