I wanna know more about Starcat!
It was about a decade ago. And, depending one's point of view, represented a mental breakdown, or a mass therapy session.
It happened about a month after a political discussion here exploded, as they always do because we always have a coterie of infantile tribal shitheads here, with said infantile tribal shitheads cursing out the mods and the admin because they tried to restore some semblance of order. People were posting to each other that they should drop dead, fry in everlasting torment, that sort of thing. which is why political discussion is forbidden here, even though the infantile tribal shitheads still try to sneak around it. They cannot be taught.
A lot of people got banned, and posting here dropped to almost zero.
Every now and then, a brave soul would post about a recipe for chicken soup, or something equally innocuous.
Then, one day, a member here dared ask a question about a Peterson that he bought. Starcat, another member here whose postings could occasionally detour into the metaphorically metaphysical, got involved in it. I had originally tried to give a straight answer to the poster's question, but after Starcat's loopy response, I just decided to give a loopy one of my own.
Next thing I know, the thread has taken off with members jumping in with all kinds of stream of consciousness silliness, as well as hot topics like whether chili is a soup or a stew, sandwiches, and lots of weird and often hilarious stuff. I posted
Bambi Meets Gozilla, and Kate Upton floating around in zero gravity in a teeny bikini as well as other stuff. The thing took off like a rocket, reaching around 1000 posts over several days before getting shut down. It was a blast, everybody had fun with it, and the forum began to recover.
But, political discussion is done here, except for the sneaky infantile tribal shitheads, and they eventually disappear.
