- @18to88 @indystar_colts @indystar_sports and they *look* fake, too. Besides: won't the *teams themselves* dictate their uniforms? in reply to 18to88 #
- @OneFineJay how about simply, "Rule of Law"? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @carlhancock they're merely directing *offensive* possessions toward one end zone. Other EZ used to receive kickoffs & (presumably) Def TDs in reply to carlhancock #
- @OneFineJay @RobAlloyIV it would circumvent existing immigration laws. Also, what of Equal Protection when taxpayer $ goes to illegals? in reply to OneFineJay #
- @OneFineJay @RobAlloyIV I agree. It's true, but pointless to argue *motive* rather than (valid) *consequences*. in reply to OneFineJay #
- @feckitorg niiiiiice! in reply to feckitorg #
- @RobAlloyIV @OneFineJay interesting you should mention that point, given the recent history of various amnesty efforts – by both parties. in reply to RobAlloyIV #
- @nacin why does is_front_page() return true if the front page is set to display posts? Causes front-page.php to override home.php. #
- @markjaquith "[bladders] contain an undetermined amount of liquid" also. Perhaps TSA should ban them, as well. in reply to markjaquith #
- @Skitzzo not to mention, it's anti-semite in reply to Skitzzo #
- @nacin correct. But in so doing, it overrides (ergo, obsoletes) home.php, because front-page.php will always take precedence. Intended? #
- @Skitzzo "[Circumcision] is up to the choice of the individual — not the parents, society or religion." Wanna bet he's also pro-abortion? #
- @JohnPBloch @markjaquith and in my case, uric acid and ketone bodies – which I'm sure will soon be added to TSA's list. in reply to JohnPBloch #
- @andreasnrb @Skitzzo are you not familiar with Judaism? See Genesis 17, covenant of circumcision: http://bit.ly/c0Et3r in reply to andreasnrb #
- @nacin I emailed wp-hackers, inquiring if this was intended behavior. I can see a use case for separate home.php and front-page.php. in reply to nacin #
- @andreasnrb straw man. Male circumcision provides actual benefits. Female circumcision is simply abuse. Removing choad != removing clitoris in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb "no proven benefits" is patently, demonstrably false. Circumcision = recuced infection, disease transmittance, cancer, etc in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb what (documented) risk? And, no, they don't. Not until they're adults. See: piercings, tattoos, etc. – require parental consent in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb you're saying the risk of a simple procedure (that's been done for 4,000 years) outweighs risk of infection, HIV, cancer, etc? in reply to andreasnrb #
- @carlhancock @andreasnrb out of curiosity, where do both of you stand on abortion? in reply to carlhancock #
- @yoast @wptavern I would prefer that WPWeekly and the WPCommunity podcasts remain separate. They are VERY different, and I like both. in reply to yoast #
- @andreasnrb sorry my friend, but you just lost all credibility on this argument. A foreskin is more important to you than an unborn child? in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb seriously, a foreskin is a moral right, but an unborn child is a "parasite"? I think I'm going to back out of this conversation. in reply to andreasnrb #
- @wptavern do what you think is right. The form is more "tavern" like, anyway, so I think the change will work out just fine! in reply to wptavern #
- @carlhancock @andreasnrb I would support abortion in one very narrow scope only: if the life of the mother is in imminent danger. in reply to carlhancock #
- @carlhancock I think you underestimate the emotional distress – to both the child AND the mother – of murdering an innocent child in reply to carlhancock #
- @carlhancock besides, the child is innocent & did nothing to deserve a death sentence, regardless how heinous the crime against the mother in reply to carlhancock #
- @carlhancock fair enough! cc: @andreasnrb in reply to carlhancock #
- @andreasnrb actually, not so much. Pro-life is pro-life, although I admit to having no sympathy for execution of rapists/murderers in reply to andreasnrb #
- @carlhancock @andreasnrb not as ironic as pro-abortionists being anti-death sentence. Killing innocent babies = OK. Killing murderers = BAD? in reply to carlhancock #
- @andreasnrb @carlhancock again: which is the bigger double standard, pro-abort, anti-death penalty, or anti-abort, pro-death-penalty? in reply to andreasnrb #
- @andreasnrb but I agree with @carlhancock: let's go back to solving #WordPress problems! We'll never find common ground here. in reply to carlhancock #
- @OneFineJay @technosailor meh. I prefer brunettes – primarily, my wife! in reply to OneFineJay #
- @wjdennen that one went over my head. 🙂 in reply to wjdennen #
- @wptavern @carlhancock in which case, you'd still own the wptavern domain, and could revert to posting there. in reply to wptavern #
- @BlogForBooks I'm signed up, and getting emails, but can't login; website says my email address not found in system. Help!?! #

- @nacin " * milestone: Awaiting Review => 3.1" – does that mean that my patch is blessed for 3.1? #
- @pwilson24 much ado about nothing, IMHO. How is Polian's statement different from his take on any other non-division game? It's all good! 🙂 in reply to pwilson24 #
- @conorpegypt "constitutional" right? No, of course not. But not something the government should get involved in, either (except for minors) in reply to conorpegypt #
- @devinsays @Frumph I would love to see an Abandoned Theme Adoption program in reply to devinsays #

- @LesleyDewar @zamoose @carlhancock I'm sure it sucks; in the end, if you want absolute assurance/control, move to self-hosted. in reply to LesleyDewar #
- @LesleyDewar absolutely. Plenty of people who can help you make the switch, if you decide to give it a go! in reply to LesleyDewar #
- @phej @OneFineJay shouldn't happen again soon, hopefully, right…? in reply to phej #
- @DaisyOlsen @flashingcursor yes, please! +1 to using #wordpress Custom Image Header feature for Logos! in reply to DaisyOlsen #

- @nacin don't you at least have that thing behind a router? (And I agree with @ryancduff – time for the Ubuntu upgrade!) in reply to nacin #
- @nacin @ryancduff so, Ubuntu with VirtualBox, then? in reply to nacin #
- @wjdennen I always prefer OLDEST first. Trying to follow the comments conversation is near-impossible if sorted newest-comments first. in reply to wjdennen #
- @ryancduff but if the PC was "just sitting there", there wouldn't have been any web traffic… 😉 in reply to ryancduff #

- @pwilson24 great news RE: Addai, Collie, Wayne, White! What about Tamme? in reply to pwilson24 #

- @pwilson24 way to throw Adrian Klemm under the bus there, Belickick! in reply to pwilson24 #
- @ryancduff @tommccammon I call shenanigans. Clearly, if true, TSA would be making use of the equally wonderful Facebook Groups "feature". 😉 in reply to ryancduff #
- @ewerickson just between us "Taliban" Family Men: he didn't miss the point; he was a troll. Don't sweat it. in reply to ewerickson #
- @nathanrice then perhaps the powers-that-be should stop opening old wounds just to further petty grudges? How does that help the community? in reply to nathanrice #
- @yoast @Skitzzo I guarantee it doesn't hurt @pearsonified. It only hurts the soon-to-be erstwhile happy users of PressRow on WPCOM. in reply to yoast #
- @yoast @Skitzzo if true, that's dumb, psychotic, and suicidal in reply to yoast #
- @bgardner they have nobody to blame but themselves. For all the complaints about @pearsonified being a jerk, this move is childish. in reply to bgardner #
- @andrea_r well down here, I'm grilling some pork steaks! in reply to andrea_r #
- @carlhancock @skitzzo @yoast @pearsonified but the bottom line is: WPCOM is a service. If you want control, move to self-hosted #wordpress in reply to carlhancock #
- @andrea_r the real question for me is: what to make for dinner for my wife's birthday tomorrow? in reply to andrea_r #
- @yoast @Skitzzo if only. in reply to yoast #
- @andrea_r not with a 3yo and an almost 2yo… not exactly relaxed/romantic. Besides, I like to cook. 🙂 in reply to andrea_r #
- @zamoose @carlhancock nope; WPCOM this time: http://bit.ly/drSdbk Cutline Part 2: Screwing Over Happy PressRow Users for Pettiness & Grudges in reply to zamoose #
- @zamoose @carlhancock and the misinformation and @pearsonified FUD in that forum thread from people defending the move is utterly astounding in reply to zamoose #
- "But that doesn’t mean I’m disloyal to this president" – thanks for the Twitter-friendly, Obama-loyalty soundbite, @clairecmc! #
- @zamoose knew for a while that it was coming. Matt announced it weeks ago. It's foolish, petty, and counter-productive. in reply to zamoose #
- @nacin but the Theme can be updated. The FUD should be water under the bridge by now. It's the WPCOM PressRow users who are unhappy, not me in reply to nacin #
- @nacin I think it's a bad leadership decision borne out of a petty grudge, which I think is unhealthy for the project. in reply to nacin #
- @nacin Just make Pilcrow a better Theme than PressRow, and let the latter fade away quietly. Why raise hackles? Just move on. #okimdone 🙂 in reply to nacin #
- @zamoose but existing users are happy (being forced to change Themes). They are the ones hurt, not the developer. in reply to zamoose #
- @nacin does that mean we can start enforcing obsolescence requirements?!? 😀 I'm all for suspending obsolete, no-longer-supported Themes! in reply to nacin #
- @zamoose you know I have no complaints about ensuring Theme code is current. It's forcing users to switch Themes that is a problem. in reply to zamoose #
- @zamoose agreed. Now, to see that same theory applied to ALL Themes available on WPCOM… in reply to zamoose #
- @zamoose they tried that with Coraline. It didn't turn out so well. in reply to zamoose #
- @technosailor @Otto42 I thought it was "fail early, fail often"? in reply to technosailor #
- @nacin and props for the advanced warning, and being up-front about the reasons. Both are good moves. in reply to nacin #
- @devinsays I don't expect us to get the green light on that anytime soon. I was just busting @nacin's chops for opening the door 😉 in reply to devinsays #
- @wptavern write good content, and I'd read it at WTLC or WPT. 😉 in reply to wptavern #

- @18to88 @BlueMark18 no excuse. That ball should have been caught. in reply to 18to88 #
- Go Baby James! Touchdown #Colts About to be 17-0 Colts after 2 Bengals turnovers. #
- @LovinBlue the one with the Spanish, rather than French, surname in reply to LovinBlue #
- @LovinBlue that's what I was wondering… clear holding there in reply to LovinBlue #
- I'd say that makes up for the encroachment. Go #Colts #
- Show of hands: who here DIDN'T know that was going to be a fake? (Everyone except the #Colts #039; defense, of course.) #
- @18to88 I was wondering about that. What good are 3 TOs when we get the ball back with one minute left? in reply to 18to88 #
- There's Reggie! Great catch for a first down, there! Go #Colts put it in the end zone! #
- Ryan Diem just gave up the chance for a #Colts TD. Now Vinatieri lining up for a 47-yd FG… it's GOOD! #Colts up 20-20 at half! #
- @NMRgirl I'll do my best to keep you up to date! in reply to NMRgirl #
- @18to88 I saw a hold that went un-called in reply to 18to88 #
- Unnecessary roughness there (of course, no-call). #
- Okay, we need the offensive line to show up this series. One score, and this game should be all but over. Go #Colts #
- And once again, Charlie Johnson can't maintain a block, and lets the RB get tackled for loss on 3rd and 1. C'mon #Colts offensive line. #
- @BlueMark18 the line isn't giving Manning time to set up a deep bomb. in reply to BlueMark18 #
- Garcon with a typically Garconian drop on first down. #
- @18to88 yes it was. in reply to 18to88 #
- …followed up by a typically Garconian catch. #
- There is NO way that the receiver maintained control of the ball to the ground in the act of a catch. Bad call, refs. Go #Colts #
- TOUCHDOWN COLTS!!!!!!!!! Kavell Conner with the #Colts #039; second pick-six of the day! #
- Whoops; that was Hagler, not Conner. Might be down by contact; play under review. If he's down, that should be a 15yd tripping penalty. #
- Where is the tripping penalty, there, ref?!? Horrible officiating, #NFL Go #Colts #
- That's the #Colts #039; third interception of Palmer today. I think our defense has a higher average YAC than our offense does today. #
- @18to88 that is pure incompetence by #NFL officials. Just terrible. The side judge was RIGHT THERE. in reply to 18to88 #
- Trying to make things interesting, #Colts give up a touchdown. C'mon, Special Teams, get the ball on the onside kick here! #
- These officials are TERRIBLE. That was CLEARLY the #Colts ball. The NFL sucks. #
- Eat that, you idiotic, moronic, utterly incompetent #NFL officials!!! #COLTS ball on the fumble and recovery! Bangals out of TOs. Game Over! #
- @18to88 how was that kickoff recovery not reviewable? That is just asinine. NFL officiating just sucks. in reply to 18to88 #
- Robert Mathis sighting!!! Sacks Palmer on first down; Freeney takes him down on second down! #
- Game Over! 23-17 #Colts Win! #NFL Officiating is terrible. We need to play better next week at New England. #
- @18to88 "crappy"? More like "B.S." in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 amazing, indeed. But we will need to play better – MUCH better – next week. in reply to 18to88 #
- @18to88 if we have Addai and Collie back, I'm sure we will. But that O-Line was truly *offensive* today. in reply to 18to88 #
- @LovinBlue and I'm doing my best to stop short of telling all of Twitterdom what I think of that call in reply to LovinBlue #
