Stayed in Netarts,
I go to Oceanside every year, & yes I boycott the Anchor tavern ;-)
But the boycott mentioned here is not a choice for me, as I can't even enter any of breaktime, knots, cooks, & what ever else they have.
Ya I can't imagine the guy who put up the Anchor, what a douche. I like Kathleen's (I think thats the name) across the street.
On your getting booted, that sucks. I thought it was just 2 weeks in the pokey.

You're thinking what I'm thinking: Perhaps if Taunton received, as a mea culpa from the miscreants, some potential magazine article submissions like "Green Disposal of Roofing Cellophane Strips", "The Complete House Framing-with-Screws Guide" or "Designing and Making Upscale Street signs for Snooty Neighborhoods" all would be forgiven.

Ha...be funny, wouldn't it, if QT got to be the alternative we imagined years ago on account of BT leaving us instead of us leaving them?
Did you and i have a hatchet to bury? I'm in...

I don't have trouble with rules if they are fairly applied, in the bar, the bordello, or the boardroom. Dieselpig made a convincing charge that posters have a responsibility to self-regulate, and i concur, mostly. However, none of us would expect that just bec our employees had framed a few houses before that we could tell them to go out there and do that again and we'd check back in six weeks. If the eave edges didn't match up, should the crew be fired for insubordination or should the boss reconsider how realistic her expectations are?
It was clear from the time i came on board in 2000 that the forum wouldn't self-regulate. I'm a practical kinda gal, so i vote for what works.
Hey, are you going to finish those jo-jo's...?

The artist is Michael Parkes. An artist friend turned me on to his work a few months ago and now i'm a victim of unrequited love.

"Did you and i have a hatchet to bury? I'm in... ""
LOL!
[Darn Firefox does support the colour purple]
Sometimes a hatchet is just a hatchet...
A kiss is just a kiss,
a sigh is just a sigh.

It's like bizarro world in here. The cigar store indian is on the right side now, instead of the left. The dart board's upside down. Hey, here's a nice change, the liquor bottles are full. Think i'll sit down . . . .
Just throwing out some moral support to those interested. Don't know if an official plan is in the offing, but BT seems to have done the nose-spite-face thing. Which is too bad. I'm sure it was never intended to wander the direction it did, but it was a happy accident nonetheless. It all seems like an ego thing now. Kind of like Firestone accidentally vulcanizing rubber and then throwing it out because he didn't think it up himself. No good deed goes unpunished.
My dos centavos: a change in personnel among the moderators. Which makes me think dealing with them won't have any effect. A letter to the editors or other higher-ups with Taunton Publishing (respectful but honest, pointing out how this community benefits them, with a number of signatories) will have a better effect. Anything aimed at the moderators will only end there. They've demonstrated a lack of tolerance, so a 'strike' will be like shooting spitwads at an anvil.
Otherwise, look forward to seeing the new costumes.

To be precise, Michael and i are unrequited lovers.
I've quit you many times, so you been requit. Once you've been requit, you can't be un.
You can be my ununrequited lover, if you wish. After seven years, i think we qualify for reunrequited lovers. I'm not sure i can quit you that long, though, esp not if we get anywhere near Brokeback Mountain

PS: Hey, my trusses arrived today!!! "Bruce" was great, let me play with his straps and rollers, demonstrated the braking system, told me his employment woes. I took pix, but the camera battery pooped. I'll get on it later, show you where the snapped member is. I'm chopping firewood now during a couple rare, non-rainy hours.
I took cookies to the guys at the truss plant on Friday, but they'd gone home early. I left the cookies with instructions to the boss not to eat them all. The guys told me they didn't get any this morning so i have to bake my second annual batch of cookies tomorrow. Trying times, indeed!!!!

Nah, we don't go all the way. If Boss touched my "Tickle me Elmo" overalls there'd be hogblood on the floors.
