Can you add another step?

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO SAY THAT?

Call it the Gunny warning.

What I wouldn't give to read one of his politically insensitive tirades against anything...Just one more time.

Snowflakes be damned.

"Snowflake" simply means someone who doesn't think as you do, it's a silly word that's morphed into the new modern version of "crybaby".  And now, if you disagree with me... you're a snowflake.

Closed Circuit for Swan, and very off-topic: 

Swan, have you got pictures of your 6x12 somewhere online?

not yet but will put a build thread together soon

There are so many great insults out there why use a word that shows a lack of imagination?

Watch out for frostbite

Touché, request withdrawn!

I posted based on the premise threads wouldn't devolve into clowns trading passive-aggressive, off topic posts or barbs. Fundamentally opposite- People here would act civilized to one another without enforcement.
But, here we are!

Members are too feral to trust with any amount of freedom, LoL

leave it at 30 mins and protect the great information posted. look at it this way , you take the most informative poster who has given this site some of the best "how to's" discussions over the course of a year or two. then one day he/she gets a little ticked off and removes all they have posted , leaving holes of missing posts and images in countless threads and hurting any members coming later with the same problems.

^^^^ This
Just thinking about extended editing ( as it were) there's that site, with free hosting, killed a few hundred thousand threads. Photobucket. Ya, I know, not quite the same but boatloads of visuals are now the equalivant of lil red f'in x's. 
Ok, maybe one day I'll get over that.... naa, not gonna happen, I'll stay pissed for the duration.

While I respect everyone's opinion on the term Snowflake. I like the word. Perhaps the political alignment of the word is part of the reason for its unpopularity. I don't really know but I am guessing as I don't really follow popular mainstream media much.

I agree Snowflake can mean crybaby but I think it is more than that.

Snowflakes are delicate, beautiful, and numerous at certain times of the year and totally absent at other times. They are individuals and no two are alike. They appear and disappear providing nothing but fluff, distraction, and in groups challenges. Say driving.

When we apply that to a group/person as a pronoun, noun, or adverb I think it is very creative. I understand the word has been used in political discussions and has thus gained some political polarization. But I don't think it is the words fault.

Snowflakes grow up thinking they are special. They are individuals and the focus of their world is such. It hurts me to hear about X or I am offended when someone says Y. People need to afford me consideration because I am me. I am special and I have the right to be special. I got a blue ribbon for showing up. They exist in a vacuum chamber of ideological rhetoric that ill prepares them for the real world. When shit goes south no one has the capacity to deal.

Then they look to the "Monsters" (in their way of thinking and definition) to save them or provide the stable perfect environment that is required for a snowflake to exist.

I think that is very creative.

The point of my post wasn't about snowflakes. The point was Got Smart reminded me how much I missed my friendly 'Monster' and wished I could read a post from him again. No matter how indelicate it might be.

The worst thing to be called in the Military is individual. It is not a badge of honour. Us monsters have to stick together, there are very few of us left on the kind side of the ball we call home. RIP My friend.

I thought 'snowflake' just applied to the millenials who are hypersensitive complainers, whom actively seek ways to be offended, insulted, and then portray themselves as victims, while revelling in their fabricated indignation.

Go home and polish your plastic participation trophy you, millenial POS snowflake, You and your kind make me sick!

Too long for a bumper sticker.
