The Corner.

[Terry Sampson]

The Corner is not a happy place. It's a "Time-out" Place. If someone sent you here, it's because you were misbehaving somewhere else and needed a time-out place to sit quiet and reflect on your behavior and how you can improve it before rejoining the great crowd. Screw up here, i.e. continue misbehaving here in the corner, and your next stop will be "Hell".

Are spankings involved in any of this?

 

[February-Saturday]

When I was a kid, I was sent to time out for hitting another student. When my time was up, I hit them again and walked back to put myself in time out.

I think that pretty much sums up my feelings here, too.

 

[Nakosis]

No corner for me, just straight to Hell.

Some folks live with steeper ethics gradients.

no

So what are you doing here? I didn't tell you to go to "The Corner".

 

[Terry Sampson]

No corner for me, just straight to Hell.

Okay. I'll try to remember that.

Is it rounded or square?

Is it rounded or square?

Assuming that you're asking about "The Corner" and not "Hell", it's a right-angle corner; the continuous padding just makes it seem rounded.

 

[Revoltingest]

Dang, I thought this would be about The Corner,
which is a prequel to The Wire.
The Corner - Wikipedia
I highly recommend both.

 

[Sw. Vandana Jyothi]

I'm just a simple sheep-herding dharma dog. Took one look in "The Corner," saw Trump on his way to "Hell" and decided not to get involved.

Well... except I did point out to the sheep the path their master took.

Wishful thinking?

Of course it contains the most @Revoltingest of all

Capitalism is about the act of cornering the market.

There is a certain advantage to growing up in a yurt....

Spoiler: Lyrics

My room is round when I lay down when I wake up it's square
When I go outside it's on a spiral set of stairs
The people that surround me are waiting out there
In a round room they can't find me anywhere

Right angle rooms drive me crazier each day
Put me in a box I know I'm never going to play
Put me in a square room and I won't know what to say
I want a round room at the end of the day

I had an apartment, four corners on the walls
couldn't eat, couldn't sleep there at all
I want a curve to the place where I stay
I want a round room at the end of the day

If I pass out
take me to the round church
where echoes resound
and my spirit is found

and when I float high
Take my arm and I'll fly you by
The outskirts of town, to a garden that's round

I went to the lighthouse and I likes the view
I looked out the window and I could see you
Put me in a square house and I won't have a clue

I want a round room just to be with you
I want a round room just to be with you
I want a round room just to be with you

Is it allowed to vent or discuss the circumstances that brought one to the corner? (I.e. can we suspend Rule 2 just for The Corner?)

Don't let it be said that I counseled anyone to violate an RF Rule for any reason; however, I suspect that it might be possible to create a thread in a private "Conversation" thread with one or more participants in which one could vent to one's heart's content and not suffer any negative consequences, as long, of course, you don't insult members of your conversation group because they could report you.

Thief is ninja!

I cannot be cornered

 

[Terry Sampson]

I cannot be cornered

Maybe not, but you can go to Hell and be ignored.
