As for interlopers in the HouZe, there was that lil "one night stand" with svt's 01LightningGal (tooslow, here, Extreme 4X4 at gmi) surrounding Post 10,000, but that got handled astutely...

On this site, and particularly in the Z28 Section, too often (rightly?) we are accused of moderating and tempering discussions through the "six old guys". And for the most part we try to be welcoming and inclusive while suggesting a "home study course" for those bringing up topics 'n tidbits we feel we've beat to death over time. However, patience and restraint are almost always good qualities to exercise, and share...

Elsewhere, surrounded by much different fencelines that offer considerable leeway, the "old farts" are often replaced with "young guns" who, by their very youth and nature, can be extremely aggressive...in language and gang mentality. "School-yard" (Middle school?) comes to mind... And I'm sure if Jamal was present, and mugged, thermal-nuclear war would ensue...

Apples 'n oranges...or fruit cake vs. coffee cake.

As for the HouZe thread itself...brilliant! Reminds me of "Cheers!" A welcome oasis in a desert filled with scorpions, rattlers...and unkind thirst...

Pass the Bailey's, please...
