Oh well I'm not on any other forums, so I don't have a clue what you're talking about. But I'll take your word for it.

Aren't there real situations where Newhart's response would have been appropriate?

I was at a ladies conference and I was asked to help with the questions from married ladies.

So 3 of us married women were sitting in front of a crowd and was asked this question:
Help me I am jealous of every beautiful woman and think my husband is going to like them better than me.

The mic was placed in my hand and I said:

I dont know who you are but "STOP IT!"

Then I said something and compassionate and personal. But truly this person needed to ---"STOP IT!"

I think it was appropriate then and still do!
