I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,
* this is the best thread.. fuck the others..
or,
*****Thread Alert******
read the -----thread yet??? there is a dog fight going on between ----- and-----.it is about gondolas and pollution in Venice..see you there.
or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?
can't we iron this school stuff out? there are more important things to life you know...

And boy, do I need to iron too. Lots of laundry getting done lately. Probably not on a cliff though. abra that link was awesome. Not as awesome as awesome, but awesome nonetheless.
they're expensive, so i usually ask for them as gifts. but they're incredible. you pull them out of the dryer and you have CRISP creases and completely smooth. cotton is great quality. it's mindblowing technlogy.

For the record, I have never insulted anyone during a crit, I think the worse phrase I have ever used is "pointless" but I've seen other reviewers call projects "architectural masturbation", or "absolute garbage" and they're 20 years older than me! I also love it when reviewers attack other reviewers, and the student just stands there looking stunned...that's when I usually try to draw attention back to the project at hand (especially when its 8 at night)

parallel38 ... incorrect pronoun usage is to be tolerated. Consider switching "whose" to "who's" next time you post.
Also, you should end all queries with a question mark. Quieries typically begin with what, when, et cetera ....

Well, ideally, I'd like you to not say anything, ever again. But I'm probably not going to be so lucky, sooo...
If you say that a school sucks, say WHY you think it sucks. Same for if you think a school is good. That is all I have been getting at this whole time. I've posted it in multiple places. Others have said the same thing.
I assumed that you were a man because I am a woman, and would be ashamed of the gender if you were one too.
On the other hand, you've given me hope that I could get into an Ivy league grad school.

BTW rationalist I love your use of the "stop waving your dicks" phrase over on that thread of poor jsbachsonata's. I've always loved that phrase, sorry guys but sometimes it is so apt.
I've decided I'm going to spend more time in the news section and less time in the forums for awhile. More interesting things to talk about over there, less static. News crew does a great job. Of couse I'll still check in at Thread Central every possible moment!
Working late tonight, sporadic, so I'll see ya in the morning - and I posted a comment to you on the Turbulence House article, asking you a question about your opinion.

today i took two hours to go confirm some measurements in a kitchen that our firm is remodeling. it took about fifteen minutes to get there fifteen to do the measuring then i went and had a coffee type drink with ms overworked liberty bell and she gave me a bunch of cd's including steven's kentucky mix(made it through to the walmart song very good so far) and then went back to the office and talked to some cute carpet rep who brought us snacks...

sporadic, you there?
It's still not terribly late here but I have to pack. I'm going to Anchorage, Alaska tomorrow! I'll represent from our Northernmost state! I'll even see about getting some pictures for you.
I cannot believe that thread has 12,000 views.
Welcome back SPELLING BEE CHAMPION! If you lived by me I would invite you to coffee and we could pore over a dictionary together to pass the time.
Also, rationalist, I share in your frustration. It seems like such a simple concept: back up your statements with reasons. I am completely bewildered now actually.....I am trying to reconcile the new information (parallel38, a female?) with the dialogue I wrote for her over in the undergrad thread. I am also now trying to involve the word "choate", which you've got to give her props for, that's an absolutely hilarious word. Just say it once: choate. Tee hee. Even SBC appreciates that one.

"stop waving your dicks" was pretty great. i've got to admit, i do feel pretty bad for the part i played in ruining jsbach's attempt to get some input in school choice. but i do love a good argument. still, it was kind of stupid, pointless and disrespectful. aww fuck. ps. has anyone seen pixelwhore?!

May 24, 06 12:22 am
I think it was, "put your dicks away", but I'm glad everyone was amused. It really was just a pissing contest. I've got a theory about these school discussion threads- everyone wants to pump their school up because they want to think that they went to a great school, that they made the right choice. It pumps their ego. I know I was quite disappointed when my school of choice turned out not to be highly ranked, and am enjoying the fact that it's reputation has been rising a bit in the past few years. The appreciative comments on Daniel's blog gratify my ego as if it were my own work being displayed, not the work of someone I've never met. People who are otherwise reasonable get downright rabid trying to promote their schools. For instance, I generally enjoy ochana's comments, but once she got started on UT, she just wouldn't stop!
On the other hand, what do y'all think about this thread? While I was as irritated by parallel as anyone, carlito doesn't seem to be a prize peach either, and part of me feels that he's crossed some line.
