When I went out to my car after work last night, I came across a flyer for Foxy's Christmas Party. I'm thinking about going - will I see anybody there?

If you are the host of one of these events, we will allow for ONE "announcement" post to inform the membership, which will be immediately locked to prevent further public discussions regarding the event.

Since none of us are the host, does this mean we can have a thread with some discussion for a change instead of it getting locked immediately?

It is OK to discuss an event open to the public.

Just so all are clear, the notice came to me in the form of a pink slip of paper (covered with light snow) tucked under the wiper on my car. That said, the flyer says 12/26 starting at 6pm - buffet and the such (I don't have the slip with me right now). I don't remember seeing a fee listed, but we all know there will be one.

I've got a family function all day, but am currently planning on going around 10pm or so.

It shows that we are all mortal. Are you happy now?

Seriously, it is not a black-and-white judgment call. Guidelines aside, what we don't want to get into is the appearance of helping to promote an event - that is, in my humble and uneducated opinion.

No problems Jack, I understand. Just trying to follow rules. It is difficult to follow rules when there is no consistency in their enforcement. Just looking for clarification.

jackfengshui · 12-26-2010, 09:29 AM

GP, admit it. You are happy! And I am happy for you.

LOL Jack.... you know I think your the best mod out there. I do know you are human. And wait for this news flash....... I am too. LOL Just making sure I keep you on your toes, that's all.

Now lets get back to our regularly scheduled programming....

The PARTY!

PS: Jack, that almost felt like you wanted to hug me

jackfengshui · 12-26-2010, 09:42 AM

GP, actually I am not as senile as you think. Arvin's party (http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?...ighlight=party) was by invitation only and was not open to the public, consistent with my opinion in Post #4 here. But you're right: I did not have to close that thread.

Alright now, I am confused. I would never say you are senile, but I may very well be. I thought it said

I did not know it was by invite only.

GP, if you want to interpret the party notice literally to mean that it is wide open to the general public, I cannot argue with you. I am just going with what I know in reality.

I understand said the grasshopper. I have never been to that party, so I can not speak intelligently on that subject. Heck, I can't speak intelligently on most subjects.
