@bar-down I've rather been enjoying not wearing a target since this joint opened.

@big-ryan It seems whatever I do pisses off one group or the other. So you all tell me what to do. We can hold a Mod election, I can ban that user and be more vigilant with how they return or something else I have not thought of. You all know the room better than I do.

Unsolicited advice: do very little. You can't really punish people for being bad posters. Lots of people are bad posters. You can't really punish people for being rude. It's politics. People will be rude sometimes, even if they don't want to. You can't really punish people for going personal. If you want to attack me for not taking care of my lawn, or McM for lying about his age for years like a sociopath, well, we have that coming, because we are the ones that brought up those personal aspects of our lives.

If someone really goes on a bender and starts legitimately harassing another poster. If someone, say, contacts a poster outside of the forum, or worse, contact's a poster's family, friends, job, etc. Then we have a serious problem that you might want to make partly yours, because it will eventually run the good posters away, and that's bad for business.

Otherwise, I'd just let people do what they do, and keep collecting the auto-renew membership fees.

 

The best answer is the Ignore function.

There’s really only one serious candidate:

@CarRamRod, when can you start?

This probably needs a new thread and the weekend devoted to not just candidates but actually who is willing

@bar-down Just like with the Oval Office, there's probably not a lot of overlap between "who would be good" and "who would be willing."

I see the level of conversation here is as good as ever.

On the original topic, usually destroyers are named for naval heroes. Naming the aircraft carrier after a black naval hero was probably a pander and now removing the name is more of Hegseth's war on woke (since he apparently isn't doing well in the real war against Iran).  So the answer is the name should have been bestowed on a destroyer, the rumor they want to name the carrier Trump is too on brand, and maybe we need to go back to carrier names for famous battles or other things that shouldn't be so politically frought.  Bring back the Enterprise or a new Midway.

To increase revenue, maybe the Navy should sell naming rights.  The USS Chips Ahoy has a nice ring to it while keeping a navy theme.

The Brits tried that. They got Boaty McBoatFace or something like that.
