Thing is, it is Easter.

I struggle to imagine a less unreligious festival, an' the purpose of my post is not to invoke any kinda behaysoos, but jus' to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to anyone got holidays over the weekend, especially if they are expectin' bunny-borne chocolates an' an excuse to indulge in ultramerrimentery.

In its way, it is a shambollically shallow gesture, but I figure the true depths of said shame will not be fully plundered until mebbe after lunchtime next Toosday.

It is my intention to take time out from the planet, so if I am quiet over the holidays, it will not be cos I got sealed in a cave behind a rock -- though I am sure my friends will wanna try this if I hit the vino.

(Call me psychic, but most people do not stash heavy diggin' equipment in their broom cupboard in the run up to a festival hosted by an imaginary bunny.)

So listen, do plentya warm, fluffy hooman stuff over the weekend -- an' mebbe if you are workin', grow a beard an' dye it yellow (guys) or strap on an origami beak (gals).

An' that is an order!

  • For more information about the One-Order Model for CRM ABAP programming and the function module, I can't recommend enough that you run and get Introduction to ABAP Programming for SAP, Third Edition by Gareth M. de Bruyn, Robert Lyfareff, Mark Balleza, and Dhruv Kashyap. Rather light reading, at only 544 pages, this book contains a learn-by-doing tutorial with real-world business examples for programming in today's most powerful client-server environment.

    • Ha!

      That is so cool!

      I dunno what I was thinkin' here, figured I would pluck some computer-based geekobabble from offa a forum an' slip in a seasonal greetin' under cover of goofin' around.

      Jus' hope you didn't spend too long researchin' here, Davo, an' I have changed the title thread jus' in case anyone else wantsta help out with this function module conundrum I am not only not havin' but also got no clue about what the fr*ckin' hell it even means.

      That'll teach me.

    What would be super cool is if you were goofin' also about Davo goofin' on my goof.

    This is the kinda freak phenomenon gamblers love, an' mebbe we jus' won big bucks someplace.

    • Not if you don't wanna be punched in the mouth for bein' a frickin' smartass.

      It is not our fault ACDC got lumbered with a ladyboy an' you got giant spiders nibblin' onya the whole time.

      Oh, but hey what a cool thing, this spinna globe.

      We all got our bunny outfits on, whatever else is goin' down betwixt our mutually agreed hemispheric differentials.

      Merry Christmas, Whatto.

    • My guess is she's been testing the line for foul language and found it.

      Not saying I agree with the ban, just my guess on why it might have occurred.

    Well, that's a fine howdy doo for those of us with no life who now have nothing to look forward to on Easter Sunday with Princess babble.

  • Here is my contribution, if anyone else wants to join in until she comes back.

    Censorship, especially of PG13 material at best, sits very badly with me. Almost as important, what the hell are they thinking on a business level? Banning the people who make this place interesting while tolerating scammers and spammers is just dumb.

    • I sort of disagree as I've always thought the f-this and f-that had no place on a business forum...and I've said so many times. But when it's part of a persona that has been permitted for this long, seems a bit odd to suddenly decide it's over the top.

      What I find interesting is that we have people who are openly gaming the systems of this forum...and we're doing cleanup in the OT section?

    • When in the World has talking about people's privates in a harsh and pornographic tone on any kind of

  • I am certainly not suggesting that type of language is acceptable, and if she used it then I missed it. That would have been a good opportunity for some actual "moderation" rather than an outright ban.

    What I find infinitely more objectionable is that members like this have not been banned. The harm they have done far exceeds the benign ramblings of PB (if you don't count the brain-scrambling).

    • Jack -

      Weird stuff here - 2 sellers, different countries, posting dozens and dozens of ads here - for the same products with the same bonuses packages...and posting to their own threads multiple times a day.

      Most interesting is that they post to the SAME product threads within a minute of each other day after day. So both have launched ads for "product A" on the same day - with the same bonuses and same % off claims - and then for months each posts to his own ad thread several times a day....and always posting on the same ads at the same time....

      It's a new way of advertising here but apparently acceptable....while we have to clean up the act in the OT...trying to adapt here....

  • Jack gordans business sensibilities.
  • Ban for foul language? Really.

    I highly f*cking doubt that was the reason. And, yes, being a graduate of cognitive linguistics from a top 10 university - I know the very implications, semantic imports, etc and so forth of what I say every f***king time I swear and neither need nor appreciate a censor.

    You all know where to find me, and frankly since I don't give a rat's ass anymore, I'll self-sacrifice to the damned volcano.........

    The reason Princess was banned is because FL wanted to save money so hired mods that haven't a bats chance in hell of understanding the first thing about this forum, how the community made it a successful forum, or how to moderate it. They don't seem to me to be smart enough to inhale/exhale without direct supervision. That is why a lot of long-term, vital members get the ban hammer here.

    Seems the corporation here could have used actually reading the damned forum when they bought it. A LOT of good advice herein at that time about getting what you pay for when you outsource. We know why they hired from where they did. It wasn't for professional ability -- at least not from what it seems from comments on many of the posts any of us can tell.

    You can quote this if you want - don't need to. Most of you know where to find me if I get my throat cut. I will warn you though - I just checked the list and Princess doesn't so if I am disappeared for this post and she comes back -- someone give her the bugout coordinates please.

    • Sigh....such total irrationality. Mods give probably a short ban for excessive cursing and multiple pornographic ramblings and now its all the evil FL and allegedly incompetent mods fault. Way to shoot credibility on in the foot when complaining about other things

      I'd love to see all those porn heavy dirty talking (Princess's words not mine) threads Pre FL purchase. Got a link???

    • I think the guy was pretty genuine. He expressed his feelings in both this thread and the thread he started on the compo claim a few weeks back. From what I can see his posts were taken completely out of context by a few on here and it does seem there's a ganging-up sort of mentality in this sub-forum. A few I speak to privately on here think the same.

      Whatever. From what I've read between the lines it seems he was right about one particular person being a dubious character as their signature link has now disappeared.

  • I spell no-one that way as well.

    There's not much that can be deduced from two (or more) people spelling it that way, just that they were taught English English. Both that and American English are acceptable on the internet these days.

    • Thats a bit of a strawman. Theres a multitude of reasons that provide context that makes that the icing on the cake

      Timing showing up in a thread just at that point
      harping on the same things that PN harps on
      reacting to criticism much the same way
      a relatively dead username from 2014 (Within months of the old HD being banned) that just comes to life in march 2016 around when PN is cursing out and name calling any and everyone for not agreeing with his sexist thread.
      You've been two years here lurking and all of a sudden you get extra active while one is banned
      You haven't been posting but you know all the best Im guys here and converse with them on the posting habits of everyone.

      malarkey

      So yeah one Englishman showing right up after the other spelling the same way holding the asinine position that name calling non stop is a reasonable position is pretty suspsicious.
