Pontifex Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 If I'm not overstating the obvious, I hope people know there is a whole board dedicated to the Chuck Norris thing. I find it hilarious, but phatmass is not that board. I say squash the over emphasis on Chuck, it's odd. Especially when I am seeing double avartars and Chuck is on everyone of them. I don't know, I guess I will be praised by some for this comment and called lame by others, but that is the way I see it. If I wanted a website that focused on Chuck, I go to his website. I want to focus on the Church. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIX Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well you are a priest and you aren't directly contradicting any Papal decrees or Church teachings, so I am not gonna argue with you. I ain't playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontifex Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm sorry if I am disrupting anyone's fun. I love jokes, pranks, and being silly. It has just went too far, in my opinion. Pockets of humor that people can choose to engage or not is one thing, but having it eclipse into a place where I am receiving email complaints everyday is not good fruit, at all. Sorry to be the heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleflower+JMJ Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Wow, I can't believe someone would take the time to bother you Fr. Pontifex with an email complaining about something on the board that only dUSt can remove! They should be emailing dUSt. Just make sure to forward the emails to him to see tho Personally, just waiting until dUSt takes it off like the other stuff he already has will do the trick (which I'm thinking should be soon). And in the end, if they have any concerns, it would probably might be best and perfectly okay to write to the man who CAN change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I didn't complain either, for the record. I figure it will pass eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I was getting so annoyed by it that I wasn't even bothering to come here for a few days. I don't mean to be obnoxious , but I totally agree. I think it makes this board look unprofessional and I know I would have never joined Phatmass if I had found it for the first time and it was over-run with threads like that. Sorry to be such a party pooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ora et Labora Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah, I agree with Prose. I'm sorry too! But, I also agree with Terra Firma when she says it will all pass eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I think it's hilarious. And just like any other phad; separate boards for individual people, ridiculous overuse of certain smilies, the "fake account" craze, food fights etc. It adds to the flavor and appeal of a board dedicated to the evangelization of young people.
