I commented that if I was told that, it would sound believable. So what was the point of trying to correct me?
Henry W, when I copied your message to write a reply, the on-topic statement wasn't there because you added it later. My reply was based on your original, unedited text.
(Before you ask: Yes, I took over 3 hours to reply but was doing something else at the same time.) Writing to Finn in the same post, I said it's understandable how people would believe that the gophers were Lucas' idea...which essentially agrees with your added comment edit.
Henry W Jones said:
Speaking of B.S. Stoo you wrote about gophers
Then you chastise me for discussing them on the wrong thread
"Chastise"? That's a wild exaggeration. I was trying to keep things on-topic by pointing out places where gopher love/hate/alternatives to CGI could be found & discussed in depth. Didn't realize being helpful would rub you the wrong way!
This is a thread about bullsh!t claims, false information & common misconceptions - FACTS. My initial post concerned WHOSE IDEA the gophers were (which is a discussion of facts), not sharing my opinions on them. Your *
unedited post* was an explanation of WHY YOU LIKE the gophers and questioning why others don't...which, of course, is a completely different topic and has nothing to do with the prairie dog 'culprit'.

Dude, you need to stop thinking you are so great and so much better than everyone. If you don't want comments about gophers here than stop bringing them up. I commented that if I was told that, it would sound believable. So what was the point of trying to correct me? Especially because I commented on your comment. So yeah Stoo,
Prairie dogs - who's to blame? A great mystery - solved. please refer to this next time you want to bring up Prairie Dogs and you won't have to hear about them here. Please apply this simple rule to all threads "If you don't want to hear about a certain subject, Don't bring it up"
You don't get where I'm coming from. Wouldn't it be wise to link to the appropriate thread if someone replied to Pale Horse's post like this:
"Personally, I don't mind Indy catching an egg. It's funny, shows his instinctual skills and doesn't seem extremely unIndyish. (Not that I have any expertise in egg catching) What's the issue with it?"
Henry W Jones said:
Two thing. 1) I think Stoo wants to be a Mod. 2) He's not gonna like you bringing up eggs here. This is not the right place.
Or is it?
1) I doubt I'd make a very good mod so, no, I don't think I'm great nor better than everyone else.
2) Heh, I had a feeling Pale Horse was going to mention the egg and that's fine because he's on-topic with the bullsh*t/not bullsh*t claims.
You're overreacting, Henry W, because I often give links to other threads and you are only the 2nd person thus far to get so riled up by it. This reflects more about you than it does about me.
ALL THAT SAID, the hat-stapling business is a common untruth and was a good
bullsh!t entry on your part. Got any others to contribute?
