If you can't stand the heat...stay out of the kitchen.

Yep. Or learn how to use a killfile and also to skip over posts that
aren't of interest. I refuse to be dragged into political discussions;
they have no place here. RFC ain't gonna solve the world's problems.
I'm smart enough to just mark the thread as read and move onto something
else.

Good for you to filter out what you don't want to read. It saves you
having your arm twisted to force you to read the rest. I am finding the
group easier to deal with after the recent kerplonking of three
compulsive posters, one a narcissistic trollette and two who were too
stupid to realize it, and a few others that fed her.

well, if you INSIST!

It is Koko's posts and Janet's recent threads on her smoker and brisket that
have kept my interest.

KF's only do so much when the malingering hoards cannot resist their
prepubescent urges to reply to every crackpot post.

Ignoring threads is ok, but when you have to ignore 90%, there is very
little wheat in the chaff.

That tempted me to have a look at a couple dozen of his recent posts,
and I guess I'd have to say they are mostly chaff. I wasn't
complaining about it, but since he complained about it I guess it is
fair to point it out.

There can't always be grilling and smoker posts. Sometimes we need herb
blend posts.

It's no coincidense that those who threaten to leave contribute the

I don't know why anyone threatens to leave publicly, just leave if that's
the way you feel. Same with public plonking, I see no reason to broadcast
that either, but that's just my own opinion.

They are seeking some attention before leaving when they do that, I'll
guarantee you he did in fact read the replies.

Just add people to your killfile. I added a few and this group is much
better now. Might add a few more as time goes on.

Should that be "jello" shots? Can't say I've ever heard of 'jelly'
shots, although I imagine those would be tasty, too

Same thing, it's just another one of those differences from one place
to another. Jello = Jelly in Australia.

Maybe he should not have said he was immediately unsubscribing so
that he could check to see all the sad messages expressing regrets that
he is leaving.

I do not blame him, the atmosphere here is sometimes pretty nasty. The FB group actually talks about cooking with no personal nasty comments. But it is a closed group, and you have to ask to be a member. Those who have nothing good to say are not admitted as far as I can tell.

When did they close it? The last thing I knew it was still "open".

Nowadays kids never learn to speak, can't read or write either... and
they don't know any math... ask any 12 year old how much is 2 + 3 and
they reach for their calculator. Whan was the last time you paid
with cash and your change was counted out... has to be at least 25
years since anyone has counted out change. Today most pay with
plastic, check out people get all befuddled when I hand them cash.

Doesn't happen here much, the machines tell how much change to give back.
