Me too. With no Mods, the crazies will be out in full force!

If it starts, I'm outta here for a couple of days....my high blood pressure doesn't need it, LOL!

You can't wait to see if the trolls come roaring in but you hope they close the boards?

That doesn't really make any sense.

There have been several posts over the past few days about Christmas and the "crazies" with the usual do not feed the trolls, we know they will be fed, etc. responses.

It is almost like daring the "crazies" to start posting.

Since they are either regular posters using an alternative nic or at least regular readers that know what buttons to push getting people riled in advance only encourages them to start early enough to affect the most posters.

Just in case someone is going to suggest just not opening the threads complete avoidance is not possible without staying off the boards because the titles alone are "descriptive".

I don't understand why people are thinking that the Moderators will not be working. I would be disappointed if one or two were't avaliable. I do believe that they work from home. You don't have to be in an office to do this job. MODERATORS SEE YOU TOMORROW. Don't dissapoint me lol.

ITA.

There are now two threads going on the subject.

I think they are beside themselves with excitement hoping it will happen again.

If so fine. Just no hand-wringing and being appalled by what gets written.

The posters demanding to have the boards closed please just stay off of them.Then they will be closed for you and you won't have to see something you don't like if it happens.

Anyway, one of the Mods said boards will be open for Christmas.

Another thread about the subject? Seriously?

Why am I beginning to suspect one of our common, everyday regular posters is the culprit? Hummmm.

And w/ all this anticipatory buildup, they must be having a good time.

Just sayin’.

I hope they keep them open. Not everyone celebrates Christmas etc.

@missy1. One of the Mods said the other day the boards would be open for Christmas.

I will admit, I had the same thought.

There is nothing that has happened or could happen on these forums that I'm going to get all that worked up about, Christmas Eve trolls included. Close them or don't close them, it really isn't a big deal, but then neither would it be if they left them open and there were the same kinds of crazy posts as last year. My sensibilities aren't such that I'm going to go into a tailspin over whatever is said... I gather it is, but I honestly fail to understand why this is such a big deal for some of us...

I totally agree, read what you want, and stop clutching your pearls. This will all pass and it is not a tragedy.

Didn't see that other thread. Or I would had posted in hers.

Sorry, see if I can delete

Have never been here when "Trolls" arrive. Have no idea what you are referring to or why anyone would want the boards closed. Would imagine many people don't celebrate Christmas. From the sounds of things, many watch QVC most of the time and may like the company of these boards?

I certainly don't get upset by the trolls that show up on a regular basis, when they think that the cat is away. It's not surprising is it? They do make me wonder over and over again about the fact that human nature can be so depraved and twisted, unlike what is seen in the animal kingdom . I ask myself if they have been left behind in the evolution or is this crass behavior symptomatic of the direction in which evolution is headed. Either way, it seems to meet a dark need or desire of the "culprit" and that there are those out there is no shock to me.

I don't know if it's accurate, but it's been said elsewhere that the boards will remain open... For those who pariticpate later this evening, enjoy and for those who might be derailed by some of what might (or might not) appear, better batten down the hatches...
