I don't know where this is coming from. Heck, maybe it belongs in Gen. Chat, but I figured I'd try it out here.
If Joe Don Baker himself was a MSTie and decided to come to the board...and he actually enjoyed the show, but just didn't like the constant stream of fat jokes....would our behavior change?
I mean, on the one hand there's no sense in changing just because we know that he'd always be around. Heck, he could be lurking here every day already.
On the other hand, it seems that movies like Time Chasers and parts: the clonus horror have been treated more favorably ever since those guys made an effort to kinda get to know us (or at least acknowledge us through interviews).
On the other hand, we already insult each other on a daily basis here but in more of a "I can say this because I know you well enough to know that you know that I don't mean it" fashion. Maybe we'd start insulting him more just to see how far it'll go. Or because we can't resist such a large target (ZING! Sorry.)
Anyway, just curious as to how everyone thinks they'd react. I know that I'd personally try to reduce the number of Mitchell references that I make. For right or wrong, I think I'd probably feel a bit rude for saying it when I knew that he was there, plus I'd feel "starstruck."
Yes, I know it's just Joe Don Baker, but I'd still feel Starstruck.

I think I'd show Joe Don a little respect. He was very good in the original "Walking Tall" and "Charley Verrick."
I tend to have more respect for older actors than I do for today's young Hollywood (who tend not to be very talented).

He'd be treated as I treat all members here. With incoherent statements and pathetic jokes.

Like every other board member. I mean I'm not passing up the fat jokes but I wouldn't taunt him. I wonder why Afgncaap brought this up. Gasp! Afgncaap is Joe Don Baker!

It matters, if he were to come off as a real jerk, I'd just let him have it.

IMO, the last two options are redundant. If he's here, get gets insulted, just like we all insult each other. It's all in fun...until we all get a little too much Schlitz in us, & it turns kinda spiky & weird, like a dysfunctional family reunion.

Named is fair game.
(Which mammal has the largest eyes? Joe Don Baker at a buffet!)
(With a tip of the hat to G.G.)

If The Joe Don joined the board, he might take some of the heat off of Phantom.
