I see that you've encounterd da self-righteous PoPe..!! The "crush" he haz on you iz meant to crush yo Free -Will..
Thank you stats. You are so right. These insecure lonely old men know if it was a violation, Todd would have deleted it.
I guess those new fangled led lights confused him. He probably lives in an HOA and runs around reporting Christmas trees put up "too early."
Had a couple of messages that these men resent a woman making a major contribution to a site. I even got a shout out from Kate in a video for my contribution. So jealous. But on some level you have to feel sorry for them.

Artist77 had said: "So I placed a small mirror outdoors as an Asian neighbor suggested to reflect her negative vibes back to her. Within 3-4 months she suddenly decided the move. We referred to it as a Christmas miracle. I felt like I won the lottery."
It is the art of feng shui... There might be an interesting way to pick lottery numbers in there...

Quite flattered that he thinks I am Eddessaknight.
I think OGary has a bit of a crush on me.
Tells me everything.
He knows what I'm talking about. Knows what he did was wrong.
And he doesn't care. He's being spiteful with no point.
No reasoning with a person who knows what they do is wrong and don't care due to the satisfaction they get from doing it.
I'm seeing their refusal to be happy. Start a thread, they hijack it. Give them the thread, they cry and moan about that too.
Yeah, feels good knowing they miss me when I don't post a few days. But I'm here. Just haven't seen anything worth giving thought too.

Someone said, "if it was a violation, Todd would have deleted it." even though nobody said anything was a violation. However I did point out the "No thread hijacking" rule that may or may not apply to the annoying off topic and misleading quotes. Doesn't really matter if the rules apply to them or not when we can put their names on the "block list".
Wonder how many other "old lottery players" didn't add their "wit and wisdom" to your thread because of the "thread hijackers"?

Interesting thought. It is a concave mirror. I guess the convex ones supposedly can bring in both good and bad luck.
I have a fengshui money frog but it has not done anything.

It’s a Two Part Topic. Wit and Wisdom. It’s wide open.
Wit. Mostly referring to someone’s Wit means how funny they are. Someone’s Wits are a reflection of their resourcefulness. You can be Witty, again funny. You can be a Half Wit. We get them all here on the Farm.
Wisdom. Where do We start and what is important?
1 Is it Wise to play the game to begin with?
2 Are their Wise Strategies if one ignores the first question?
The Title also refers to Old Lottery Players. It is not restricted to LP but my guess is that was the intent. That lets in the quotations of Long Past thinkers even though most of these thinkers were Wise enough to stop wasting brain power upon seeing question 1. That’s me changing history because these guys might have played but kept it quiet.

An excellent analysis of a wide open topic post. I have always found that varied responses to any post topic bring a lot of interesting diversity since members are from all over the world. Trying to control responses to fit a narrow preconceived agenda usually fails miserably.

I'll leave it to them. If it makes them happy to have place to put quote after quote after quote, I don't care if they post every quote in their library.
As I said earlier, if everybody just posted general quotes it would be a poor discussion. And posting quotes is all edessa does. No insight. No opinion. Nothing. Just a quote.
And as I said about Artist77 he goaded edessa into continuing, but doesn't take part in the threads edessa starts.
Now I don't know how Todd works, but I seems to me he has a report button for a reason. I respect Todd has enough to do without having to determine every little thing that happens on LP. If something is reported, he makes a decision. And none of this is worth reporting in my opinion. (I would suppose he has looked in, but knows we're adult enough to work it out)
But something even morons agree on is discussion forums aren't about posting quote after quote after quote. At some point it's passive aggressive trolling that kills discussion. Just like it has done here.
I've moved on. It ain't worth the brain cells it would take to explain this was intended as a salute to LP members. And these general quotes aren't from LP members.

I'm probably here unless I'm not.
Dreaming would be a perfectly useless function if it's only purpose was to entertain.

"And as I said about Artist77 he goaded edessa into continuing, but doesn't take part in the threads edessa starts."
There are 25 threads on page 1 in the Gaming Forum and 23 of them were not only started by eddessa but they posted the majority of replies. My point isn't about starting 23 out of 25 threads or that 18 of them are locked because of inactivity, it's about the fact 16 of those threads have ZERO replies. It sure looks like somebody can't get replies on their threads so they decided to troll and hijack your thread. And you're correct, 77 replied to ZERO of eddessa's page 1 Gaming Forum threads.
Wonder if they have their "E-mail notify me of replies" box checked?
"At some point it's passive aggressive trolling that kills discussion. Just like it has done here."
At least eddessa posted their 8 year old "our galaxy is going to be collide with another galaxy" article on their Blog and not in this thread.
"I've moved on. It ain't worth the brain cells it would take to explain this was intended as a salute to LP members."
It was a nice idea, Gary!
And like I said on page 1, "while I'm not saying that is why we see less "ideas" posts and threads, weird non lottery related posts sure don't help the flow."
