No, no, no Mr. Charlie.

You can't do that, or your big bada-boom alerting service would be offline. 

I mean, did you know about the Starship Launch on 10th January, my birthday? No, you didn't did you? 

Martin - If you made it down here, the above is a sample of American humor

I don't think you're going to be banned.  I get why a posting a gigantic fist could raise eyebrows, but it probably was a gentle reminder not to let the discussion go south (as it eventually did, though not because of you).  I wouldn't want to see you banned; to me, you're what the military calls a "target-rich environment" and I would miss reacting to your posts.

But don't let what I think and the appreciation in the other post for you go to your head.  Heed the wise words that some Old Guy back in the day who said: "Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal."🤣😂

Without Martin, where would I get all my UFO and Rocketry reports 👽

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Martin.

 

Just Kidding! 😁

Or more accurately... the correct humorous response to my jape. 

But yes, please continue the appreciation. Although it should have been reserved until Jan 10th, for on that special day the feline galactic council's chief representative on Earth was born.

But your ammunition is weak, young Padawan.

Troll mode is currently off. Un-trollable.

And attempted trolling is not appreciation, so please get back on topic with appreciation and praise.

Not wishing to troll.  Not wishing to bash.  Wishing to appreciate differences in opinions as without differences, we become less human and more automaton.

It's my pre-birthday appreciation thread. Only positive vibes are acceptable. 

 

The thing to know about Martin is, his intentions are good and honorable. He's on the side of the angels. Even if we disagree with him, even if we tease him sometimes, we know he's one of the Good Guys.

Exactly, young Skywalker.

OH here we go, more Star Treks humour, I know the difference between Star Treks and a Star War, Star Treks is when that Spock guy uses the force, and a Star War is when that Darth guy has lots of Logic, and that Han Solo guy with his furry Klingon Sidekick Worf on their Starship Enterprise Falcon out there saving Princess Ohura from the evil Captain Picard with that little droid guy RB-WAN-Kenobi

See I watch these things too 😋
