Chronos, you've made an ass of yourself.

[omni-not]

Speaking of jerk behaviour…

Actually, the moderator did not say ‘Don’t do that!’ His exact words were

Funny, I hope that the membership will actually follow them in the first place. Crossposting is forbidden. That means that it’s forbidden. By the way, it’s also forbidden. Expect to hear from Tuba Diva shortly.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong but I see a bit of sarcasm, right off the bat, in the first sentence. Followed by a bit more sarcasm in the second, third and fourth sentences. And the passing of judgement in the last sentence.

But Chronos was a model of restraint compared to others…

I will repeat this for the last time: I had absolutely no qualms about having the moderator(s) closing the thread(s) once I realized (or made to realize) that what I did violated the rules. It’s the manner in which it was done I have a few problems with. Had I been a repeat offender, it would have been a whole other ball of wax and the dressing down would have been fully justified. I wasn’t.

I see now that CnoteChris has adopted the fatherjohn technique of pit posting, complete with poor spelling, and use of other people’s words.

Hah¡¿¡ :: Is that suppose to look that way? I think so… but I don’t know. I get so confused when it comes to grammer and punctuation.::

Anyways’ it,s not like upside down punctuation matters much to you’ Mr. Cynical’ unless’ of course’ it,s coming from a guy’ then it bug,s ya¨¨

I’ll allow it

Sorry about the typos (and grammatical errors:)) in my last post.

So?

You have to keep something in mind… the Mods deal with this sort of thing all the time. It’s nothing new to them. They’ve gotta keep themselves entertained while moderating or they’d go nuts.

(I was at work, you shit-knocker! I don’t have time to come up with a full reply sometimes. I’m working one right now, in order to restore myself to your good graces)

Well, Cyn, you just have to keep in mind that it’s a cruel, cruel thing to compare someone else to fatherjohn. I mean, you can slice off someone’s testicles, you can dip them in elephant dung, you can buttrape them with the Washington Monument… but you never, ever, EVER compare them to fatherjohn.

Just one of those things you don’t do, pal.

(And you were never out of my good graces… it takes a lot more than one stinkin’ thread to do that)

[Mr.Cynical]

All this shit is from our newest addition to the nominees for the Squicky Awards, Freedom.

Listen you stupid fucking moron. If you actually had a life you wouldn’t have been so easily suckered by an internet romance.

Can you explain how that is a valid point? Can you show me where I said that the thread should not have been closed? Can you? Can you show me where I said that the link should not have been deleted? If you can, well, you’re a liar, in addition to illiterate.

I can only guess that sitting in front of the computer with your dick in your hand makes one’s brain shut down.

Judging by your post, yes. It probably retarded your ability to think clearly. I’d also say that the introduction of your thumb to your rectum assisted the process.

Then to come bitching and moaning about it in the Pit is the height of idiocy.

Nooooooooo, you’re painting a good picture of the height of idiocy. You must have a mirror handy, since the self-portrait is stunning in its clarity.

Everyone look at me!!! I’m an asshole!!!

Well said. What else are you? A moron? Yup!

Everyone look at me!!! I’m special and think I should be able to do whatever I want!!!

Show me where I said that I should be able to do whatever I want. Show me. You can’t. Your whining is baseless.

Everyone look at me!!! Someone was mean to some bitch who was playing me like a fucking fiddle!!!

Did I ever say that Chronos was being rude to little*tassie? No. Your pride, which you really shouldn’t have, is clouding your memory. That is, if you actually read anything. I suspect that you didn’t.

Go fuck yourself.

No. I’m busy with yo mamma later. Gotta have a good strong hardon to squeeze up her ass. Mmmmm, mmmm, good! :rolleyes: I can drop to your level, no sweat. Can you come up to mine? No.

Since you have trouble understanding the basics of the board, like not cross posting, then I can’t be surprised that you don’t understand that 2 page threads don’t show previous replies in preview.

I’ll take this one in three parts.

First: As was mentioned before, there is no specific wording that prohibits cross-posting.

Secondly: I use this operating system called WINDOWS. One of the nifty things I can do with it is keep two windows open. When you do that, you can preview a long thread right before you post. Amazing!!

Thirdly: Those two points considered, looks like I understand the board better than you, bub.

Had you understood something like that, you would have looked at the times of our posts and concluded I started my post before yours was up.

So that means you spent, what, 26 minutes authoring that?
Here’s a conclusion for you, sparky: The excess water on a hydrocephalic could come up with a thought faster than you can. A more lucid one, as well.

Don’t try to turn your angst at being rejected by an internet scam bitch from Chronos to me.

Again, where was I rejected? You are making things up to support your lack of an argument.

Look, moron, I’ll make it clear for you. Or at least, I’ll make it clear for someone with a 6th grade reading level.

I think that Chronos did the RIGHT thing, but in the WRONG way. If you can find a way to dispute that, knock yourself out. Repeatedly.

[Kricket]

Like C-note, it was the fact that she was posting all the time that got me to thinking something wasn’t quite on the level, but then again I passed it off as people do strange things when stressed.
When my son was hit, I posted to let everyone know what was going on, and I think the next time I posted was a week later. I had a friend check the thread from time to time for me.
She, He, or It is very twisted and in need of much help.
As you read from my post to that thread, I actually have been there with a child close to death a few times.
But, either way you look at it Karma and/or the law of three will get her in the end.

As for cross-posting, I don’t get it. Was it because in all the forums there was a link to that site?
Don’t people sometimes do that in there sigs?
Sometimes I think it is better that I don’t know how to post links so that I never have to worry about trouble. Ignorance can be bliss at times.
Now, if you look at my sig and see a link that is due to Shayna helping me and practicaly doing it for me. I figured out how to cut and paste it to put it there myself.

:::Patting self on back:::

Now, could somebody explain if I got it right about cross posting? If not, you can fight for the honor of squelching my ignorance on that.

[wring]

the cross posting that was frowned upon was to open up a new thread in each of several forums to simply post “here, check out this thread in another forum”. In other words, not as a response to something, not as an example, but as a device to get more people aware of the thread in question.

[andros]

Christ on a hickory stump.

I think some folks–and you know who your are, or should–maybe need to take a break from this whole debacle and cool down. Please.

[Kricket]

Okay, so if he would have went into an already open thread and the added it somewhere in his post, that would have been okay?

As in…“yeah, I see your point, and BTW way why doesn’t everybody wander over this way”

Alright, so the attention message thread at the top of every forum is okay since it is and official message?

Just curious.

I am not a mod, but… what you’re describing is more of a ‘hijacking’ of a thread, which gets folks peeved, but probably would be less noticed? I guess? The cross posting stuff really is noticable if you do (as I do) a ‘recently posted to thread’ search, vs. checking the individually forums.
Probably, one will come along and give further clarification.

**You and I are both entitled to our respective opinions. **

Yes indeed. However, my opinion is clearly respected a hell of a lot more than yours. With good reason.

[reprise]

and please let us not turn this into another thread about “that troll”.

As I acknowledged in my post to Lynn, about half an hour after I posted my original “doper needs help” post OUTSIDE Pit guidelines, I thought of a way I could have linked to the very same thread while still compying with forum rules.

Some of you may have noticed that I never bumped my original thread and asked for to be locked.

While technically, I could have started the legitimate Pit thread I alluded to linking to the MPSIMS thread even after Lynn had given me as spanking, had I done so, the mods/admins would have been totally correct in assuming that I was simply exploiting a loophole and therefore would have been totally justified in banning me under the “don’t be a jerk” rule.

So for all the “rules is rules is rules” posts flying around, I would like to reassure any newbies who are concerned that they might find themselves banned without due process that it just ain’t likely to happen.

We’re all allowed to make mistakes here - in respect of both the written rules and the implied ones - my experience of this board has been that you are judged not on whether you mess up, but how you conduct yourself after your mistakes have been pointed out to you.

[Freedom]

Had you left well enough alone, I would have followed Collounsbury’s advice to step back. I was on my way out of the thread, when I happened to see your latest temper tantrum.

May I ask you just what the fuck you are thinking?

Our interaction in this thread from a condensed, rational point of view: (so you can follow along)

[li] You open with a rant about Chronos being abrubt and insensitive.[/li]
[li] I weigh in with the following:[/li]

Well, he wasn’t all warm and fuzzy about it, but you can’t fault him locking the thread.

[li] Time moves along…we go to sleep…we wake up…[/li]
[li] Probably about the same time in the morning, we read the thread and we find out the whole thing was a hoax. Maybe you and omni were e-mailing, maybe you co-ordinated your replies, but then again, maybe you didn’t. It doesn’t matter either way. This thread is currently the center of your personal universe, so you smack the reply button and fire off your post.[/li]
[li] I’m walking around, all groggy eyed. I pull up the SD and open about 30 threads in their own windows. I go to make the coffee. I read the threads as I slowly wake up, and start loading the reply screen whenever I want to post. As the screen loads, I skip over to another thread. Back and forth I go, between the post reply screen, a new thread, the preview screen, a new thread, possibly another preview screen, a new thread, and then finally I post the damn post. Since this thread is just one of a dozen threads I was checking on, I give it no special thought and post at my own pace.[/li]
[li] Now here’s the clincher… Since my thread contained NO CONTROVERSIAL shit, I didn’t feel the need to go check the thread to make sure the status hadn’t changed.[/li]

Now that the whole thing has been exposed as a hoax, I can’t see that Mr. C and omni have ANY legs to stand on.

You guys got suckered. That sucks, but you don’t get to pin all the blame on Chronos.

[li] Up pops Mr. Sensitive himself. You know, the guy who opened this thread because Chronos wasn’t quite sensitive enough? Now you would think this guy would employ some amazingly sensitive method of posting to point out that our posts had crossed in cyber-space. But no…we get:[/li]

Can you read?

Did you read?

Which of the two questions I’ve posed to you there can only be answered with a no?

MY GAWD, you’re stupid. Scroll back. Read.

Put your head between your legs. Say “POP”. That will simulate the sound of you pulling your head out.

[li] Now maybe you were feeling a little chagrined and threatened after getting suckered. Maybe you felt the need to reassert your lost manhood. I don’t really know, but do you realize what a hypocritical prick you sound like? Check out your OP, then check out your reply.[/li]
To paraphrase a long lost but famous doper…

Pot, this is kettle.

[li] You will note that it only took 13 minutes from when you opened your dank ass mouth and spewed forth your little tirade before I posted back.[/li]
[li] You attempt a lame ass reply. I assume your lame ass reply burns you up inside all day long. Finally it burns you to the point where you just have to give it another try.[/li]
[li] You acheive a Brian BunnyHurt level of relevance in your second attempt to flame me. You flail uncontrollably in all directions, you throw out things that have nothing to do with me, you continue with your ass fixation and generally acheive nothing but stirring up an issue that was on it’s way down.[/li]
Let me congratulate you on the marvelous two days you are having here on the SD.

Keep up the good work.

[CnoteChris]

However, my opinion is clearly respected a hell of a lot more than yours. With good reason.

If this is how the teemings minions show their gratitude towards a ‘respected’ poster, than I’m glad I’m not apart of that ‘elite’ club.

It’s better to be ignored by being the idiot that you assume I am than to be ‘admired’ as the ‘respected’ poster you purport to be.

[omni-not]

Probably about the same time in the morning, we read the thread and we find out the whole thing was a hoax. Maybe you and omni were e-mailing, maybe you co-ordinated your replies, but then again, maybe you didn’t.

Uh, the long and short answer to this is: No, we didn’t.

**:: timidly ::

Um, I’d just like to chime in that I too was unaware that cross-posting was absolutely verboten, as I see no such notification in the rules. And since my use of the internet for posting and/or personal communicating is limited to this message board, I too would have been unaware of any nebulous rule to that effect, which rule might be known to many under the general topice of “netiquette.” And I would not appreciate being called “duplicitous” for not knowing this.
**

What Jodi said – except that I frequent two other boards. In one of them I inadvertantly committed a posting sin; while snidely pointing out my mistake the moderator implied I was a troll and/or a moron. See, I had to be a troll/moron because everyone knew better than to make the mistake I made. “Pardon me for not being ‘everyone’!” was my indignant response – a response timidly echoed by others who’d either made the same mistake once upon a time or were heretofore unaware of the rule I’d broken. The mod who snarked at me never apologized but she hasn’t jumped on anyone else since (which is even better, in my opinion). Too bad she didn’t take my suggestion to update the FAQ to avoid future errors, but oh well.

Errors, especially ones not addressed in the FAQ, are not necessarily “duplicitous”; it would be better to give the transgressor the benefit of the doubt.

**

Other than that, I’m not such a fool as to wade into this. **

What Jodi said, again!

Let me second that. Neither the rebuke, such as it was, nor the subsequent dialogues really merit this.

[evilbeth]

Also, I’d wager that the names thrown around in this thread are far worse than what has been allowed previously.

I don’t mean to be a fucking apple polisher, but could we get a Mod warning or closing or something in here soon?

It’s becoming ridiculous and I, for one, don’t want to have to avoid the Pit for the next week because it is completely full of “Poster X got banned just for saying ‘blank’, so why were Posters Y and Z not banned for saying ‘blank’, ‘blank’ and ‘blank’?” bullshit threads.
