This is still the internet, where nothing matters and everyone can be offended.
I wish a Happy Day to you too!

This is like going to ESPN to get up-to-date on Peyton Manning's retirement.
I like sports.
I like football.
I go to ESPN.com to get those things.
Yet, when I get there, if I find that 388 housewives had decided to swap casserole recipes in the comment section of that webpage, then I end up sorting through recipes on Green Bean Casseroles to get to whether Peyton is coming back or not. After a while, I begin to learn that I need to go to another website to get what I came for because this site has gotten hi-jacked into something I did not come here to get.
Now, Peyton may very well LOVE Green Bean Casseroles.
I may love Green Bean Casseroles.
The housewives may all LOVE Green Bean Casseroles and they just want to share it with people.
"Who doesn't like Green Bean Casseroles?"
Intent to harm? No.
Self-focused? Yes.
Beneficial to others? (Only in the minds of the ones who posted.)
Un-Courteous? Certainly.
If ESPN politely removes or relocates the posts to www.GreenBeanCasseroleRecipes.com, is it....
Intolerant? No.
Suppressing their worldview? No.
Expressing their hatred of Green Bean Casseroles? No.
Making a social statement about against the posting of recipes? No.
Shutting down their right to celebrate their joy of Green Bean Casseroles? No.
Placing "courtesy" above "self-indulgent expressionism"?
YES.
A personal 'Entitlement' disorder?
YES.
Standing against those who use words like 'diversity', 'tolerance', and 'personal positive expression' to then "force" others to listen to them and then accuse you of wrongdoing if you say, "Not here, please."?
YES.
Is this like trying to watch the Super Bowl and when two people comes in the room having a loud conversation on the tragedy in the Sudan, and when the person watching the game politely asks them to take it elsewhere so he can watch the game, the two people turn on him as if HE'S down something wrong and accuse HIM of being... 'intolerant', against 'diversity', and against 'personal positive expression'?
YES!!!

Okay, as punishment for that, I’m going to have to change my avatar on this forum.
Punishment? For that? Oh come on. It's not like I published the VR Wookiee Porn or something. . . . .

Thus began the Great Avatar Wars.
I never knew about the timing of the Holiday Special and the Jonestown incident.

Look out Desslok bit Brad and turned him into a were-penguin. Quick where do we keep the emergency supply of silver bullets and wolfsbane... err... penguinsbane?
"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf penguin when the wolfbane penguinbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

I currently have a project to watch the Holiday special. After two days, I still have 30 minutes left, and my faith towards my ability to survive this ordeal is fading.
Well, if you made it past the half an hour of un-subtitled wookiee speak, you made it over the hump!
I find the cantina scene more difficult to watch than wookiees.
If done a better that Holiday special could have been actually fairly nice view to mundane life in star wars galaxy.
