You know what? Venus Isle sounds familiar. Anybody else get the same impression?
I see you were serious about your wish.
We are all lucky it isn’t - we would miss you.
So apparently 75% = ONLY.

I have a suggestion for all those folks who think the Dope is oppressive, run by overt Lefties or Righties, not for fighting ignorance, are only in it for personal being partial and just in general, pisses in your Post Toasties on a daily damn basis…
start your own message board and call it the Anti-Dope or something. And if that isn’t quite what you’re looking for, perhaps a newsletter would be better and everyone can complain about how they were stifled out of prejudice and were NOT being jerks (and what a stupid ambiguous rule that is!). All members can only be those that have been banned here in the first place, lending a certain credence to that title and proving you’ve earned your stripes.
I think you all will be in very good company, who will appreciate the feelings you hold about this lousy place, it’s Nazi mods and their idiotic administration. It’ll give you all a cohesive bond and lots of staying power as a whole, undoubtedly resulting in many friendships and in-depth analysis about what needs to happen to make a MB run better.
I wish you all the absolute best of luck. Happy posting!
And no, I think you all give a really accurate portrayal of your online persona. Thanks for the head’s up.
~hopefool, who likes it here because it IS so boring, poorly run and completely lacking in intelligence, fairness or help – what a joint!
I love the phrase “seen your arse.” After I posted, it occurred to me that Coldfire has probably seen far more of his Netherlands.
Anyway, I am awaiting Coldfire’s answer to my email so we can wrap this up and put it behind us. My sole request is that the thread stay open long enough to get the answer on the highjack precedent he cited and allow me to post a response. That will end it.
(Note: I have posted only to this thread while this matter is being cleared up, in case someone wishes to ask “why are you posting only in the Pit?”)
Also, is it true that Lynn is a member of the Ms. message board, or was that just a slam?
"Governor of Homofornia"??!? BWAHAHAHA!!! I am so using that.
Now I’d better go post in MPSIMS and Cafe Society to keep my ratio up…
Oh, bullshit. This was “behind us” days ago; you just keep trying to turn us around so we keep looking in that direction.
You were a jerk in the orignal thread. You could have presented your facts straight, but couldn’t resist throwing in some hostility. Your unnecessary hostility was noted and rather than either admit it, or just let the issue fade, you’re trying to keep shifting the blame onto someone else.
Got a problem with the mods of this board? Go somewhere else. Were you expecting some absolute arbiter of perfect justice to say “there there Andy, you were right and they were wrong”… well, fuck yourself and then go somewhere else.
Hey, guess what… I’m being unnecessarily hostile! The difference is that I chose the right venue and I won’t start a thread trying to justify my hostility.
There is a poster there by the same first name (Lynn) who is a lesbian MTF transsexual.
That person has said some extremely inflammatory things; however, I don’t think that Lynn and this Lynn are the same person.
It could be a case of confusion.
I can assure you that Lynn is neither a lesbian, nor a transsexual.
She is a Texan, but let’s not hold that against her.
SAL, you’re NOT gonna get anything more out of FunnyDressingClogBoy than you already have.
If you want to call what he said either “opinion” or “wrong,” you are free to do so. Or, to have done so.
Let the rest of it go. Post in another thread, maybe about puppies. Or wait for the next fem/anti-fem debate to open up. But, let this one die along with its continuing non issue. It’s better for you, better for them, better for the SDMB.
Here I sit with a lump of leftover feelings from “not a warning, part i.”
I originally intended to post this there, but the thread was closed before I had a chance to.
Just a few days ago here at SDMB I read a beautiful tribute written by a father about his daughter. It was incredibly moving and I remember thinking how lucky she was to have a dad like that. I knew because the piece took me back 50 years to the gentle merriment of my own father.
The same man who wrote that piece about his little girl has since posted the most vile and treacherous shredding of a human being that I have read at SD. May no one ever use the gift of words to target his daughter in such a demeaning way. No one deserves that. No one.
I had rather not provide a link or the name of the poster. I hope that will be respected.
And I think NoClueBoy is right.
It’s Chinatown…
Yea, she has a great recipe for Chicken Fried Steak, which more than outweighs that whole Texan thing.
Oh, you mean these?
Shodan talking about his daughter
Shodan giving one of the greatest verbal flayings it’s been my priveledge to witness
I don’t much like Shodan, but I gotta respect someone who can hand out a verbal beatdown like that. It’s the sort of thing that attracted me to the boards in the first place. It’s also why about 70% of my posts are in the Pit. Which, in light of recent events, is a bit worrisome. As long as I can keep that 5% margin, I should be okay, though.
I don’t know. I think part of what makes a flame truly great is precision. It should be specific to the person for whom it’s aimed, and hilariously appropriate for the situation in which it’s used. Most of that post was just random abuse. He could’ve written that months ago and saved it for whoever happened to piss him off enough to use it. The language of the post is strong, and inventive in parts, but it’s hardly the stuff of legend. Sorry, Shodan.
I’m with you cuauhtemoc. That post about his daughter was brilliant. I was all geared up for an devistating flame of equal brilliance and was very disappointed.
Haj
A question to Shodan. In my county thread, was it you implication that you too borrowed the milk carton line?
your
Actually someone was recently banned for having a little under 72% of their posts in the pit. So you are cutting it really close.
Damn.
I really hope no one ever checks the percentage on mine.
