With the current weather out side I think this is now relevant

'Twas the months before Christmas
And all through the net
Controversy was building
Tempers put to the test
The forumites were stirring
All smug in their views
Insane and extreme posts
Flowed fast and flowed loose.
The admin all hustled
From one board to another
Whacking some posts
And editing some others
Explaining the rules
For the ten-thousandth time
It's not that complex
What's wrong with these guys?
Cruising the posts
Now what the heck's up?
Oh crap, not him again
Will that guy ever shut up?
Now Rebecca! Now wiki! Now Irish! Now Ride till you drop!
On Accidents! On Tracers! On tyres! On costs!
'You've got the wrong oil!' 'You mentioned your god!'
'Your friends talk too much!' 'You ride a xxxx !'
'I'll buy you a beer if I don't kill you first.'
'Hey I don't even ride!' 'Hey I hate your shirts!'
What's wrong with these guys?
Well the problem?s well known
It's
PMS again
Just exactly like last year.
So what do we do for this seasonal ill?
Do we ban? Do we cancel? Do we change? Do we kill?
'Let's vote' scream the few
'Let's quit' says another
'Let's all praise Admin'
Says one enthusiastic brother
On every topic some 'experts' must post
Intent to divide, and a post count to make most.
'This'll make these guys riled, regardless of merit
Wait, no one's arguing' I MUST dangle this carrot!
Civility and restraint would calm this with reason
'But I've got a point to prove! And hey, tis the season!'
'Shut up all you guys!' say some, 'I'll take my ball and go home!'
Feeding the trolls they are, the equivalent of filet mignon.
'Off' topic's should go elsewhere?
Screams part of the hoard
'But,' groans the admin,
'It's the off-topic board!'
And admin stare dumbfounded
And put his head down a bit
'Don't these guys realize
We don't get paid for this sh!t?'
As for this boy from Scotland
Does he have any advice?
Well yeah, ya darn fools!
Just try to be nice!
Don't like a topic?
Don't check out that note
There's plenty to read
That won't get your goat
Ticked off about that guy?
Gonna give him what-for?
Calm yourself a moment
There's no need to roar.
I'll leave you with this
'Cause right now I'm fried'
A Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you all.
Now
SHUT UP AND RIDE!
