THIS IS NOT THE GSC RULE. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE GSC RULE. Please minimize extensive quotes from another website, and make sure you provide the link/credit when you do!

Thank you to everyone for making this particular moderating task so easy. So the offending post was deleted, and every post that referred to it afterward as well. Which is to say, every post afterward. Thanks for playing, and thanks for the humor you found in the situation. I almost hated deleting some of the wittier replies. Almost. Play nice.

Margie, did this ever get resolved? I hope you see this and answer.

Apologies for my failure to approve this question on a more timely basis. We are not notified when questions are pending. Now we know.

Accepted. Raf

Electric Bugaloo The unofficial subtitle of every unnecessary sequel. You're up. Raf

Because it's not correct: And I can dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, [title] that you're out? Raf

Knight Rider is correct. David Hasselhoff's ex wife, Catherine Hickland, later married soap opera actor Michael Knight. William Daniels, voice of KITT, is never credited. --Raf

No. --Raf

It is Over the Hedge (named Steve by the squirrel, played by Steve Carrell). Your move. Raf

Raf posting: The only Vietnam war starring a TV star with a supporting role by an Oscar winning (later) actor that I know of is Casualites of War, though I am not aware that its director, Brian De Palma, has ever won an Oscar. He's entertaining (Untouchables, Carrie), but not Oscar winning that I know of.

I should say: The main actress is probably best known for this series, but probably not well known at all. One of the main actors was better known for a later series. The other was better known for an earlier series. -- Raf

That's correct! Ish. --Raf

Correct. I had a long running gag on social media concerning the astonishing fact that Vigoda was still alive. This running gag ended in Jan. 2016

Ding ding ding! Alfred Hitchcock knows how to pick hot mamas. Raf

First you say it's a quote. We already said we don't care if it's a quote. Then you not only repeat the slur but you expand on it. Come on!

Rules come up as necessary based on what's happening on GSC at a given time. We did not develop the rules with any pretense about having foreseen and accounted for every situation. That said, I am absolutely embarrassed that we have to tell people not to use offensive slurs to refer to fellow human beings. I don't care if it's a quote or if... COME ON. GROW THE F- UP! Seriously, we left a cult where they talked about people using these degrading pejoratives. Feel free to think that way, but do not feel free to use slurs to refer to our fellow human beings.

Like I said, "to the best of my knowledge," which was mistaken in exactly one case. The current Twilight Zone is on CBS All Access. See the clue?

Okay, giveaway clue: To the best of my knowledge, no actor or actress, in any iteration of the series, played the same character in more than one episode. The clue"The current revival is on a platform that not everyone accesses" contains a subtle hint about the current platform, which narrows down the possibilities (given how few shows on that platform are original). [oops. This is Raf posting]

For what it's worth: I tried to fix WW's post as a mod and could not. But I did try. The dupe is gone. He's not crazy, for anyone reading. He did post the same thing twice. I just can't separate his post from the quote. Oh well. You can.

Moderating, lately, has become a full time job. I am not entirely sure why, but whatever. We have been lax in allowing a particular rule violation in these threads (a rule that I am confident was created to address MY OWN awful behavior in this regard). This needs to be extended to all people, not just posters. His name is John Lynn. It is not "Lynne-sanity." While JAL is not here often, he has registered with GSC and has posted here on several occasions. Now, we know that there is a fine line between insult/ridicule and legitimate satire, and we want to be careful not to stifle legitimate and creative expressions of frustration with TWI. So we'll tread as lightly as we can on this one. In this particular case, we are changing the name of the thread to handle the rule violation. In the future, we ask that you all refrain from distorting people's names to insult or ridicule them.

Please check first post for an update.

Please do not use this space to "out" posters' real names or ID's. People who come to GSC need to know that their privacy will be protected. Thank you.

Hi waysider. The idea behind his subforum is for anyone, ANYONE, to ask questions about us and about TWI. We can answer if we want. We can ASK if we want. It's like a little more explicit in its format than the average thread. Hopefully people will find it useful. If not, we scrap it and no harm done.
