Go right to Hell, 24 Karat Gold

The BBQ Pit

All right you bitchy little malcontent.

E-fucking-nough.

You are an enemy of this board. You have made it clear that you are dedicated to the destruction of the SDMB. So I would liek to send you a cordial invitation to fuck yourself, and call your subhuman behavior to the attention of the Teeming Millions.

You have made, as of this post, 26 posts. I sumbit that nearly every one of these was directed towards tearing other posters and the Board as a whole down.

You have contributed exactly shit and yet expect us to listen to your whining defense of every fucking person that runs afoul of the administration.

You are personally responsible for the loss of MrKnowItAll, in this thread:

Despite the fact that when Opal posted the link, she stressed that it was not supposed to be a specific home for SDMB renegades or competition with this board, you decided to advertise it as such. Unless you are Opal’s alternate personality (I don’t believe this for a second, BTW, Opal doesn’t need puppets), that wasn’t your place.

I am reminded of the Godforsaken resteraunt analogy. In my mind, the SDMB is more of a potluck, organized by a community organization. You brought nothing to dinner, but you got all you could eat. And every once in a while you piss in the lemonade.

We don’t need pissy fuckers like you here. Either contribute something, or stop bitching about how the Board is run.

I consider your behavior taht of a true jerk, and I think you should be fucking thankingful that Ed Zotti is as long-suffering as he is. If I were in charge, you’d have been gone aways back.

Um, John? I feel your pain, seriously, :frowning: but I like you a lot and I just want to grab you by your sleeve BEFORE you jump into the bullring, 'kay?

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by starting a Ban Goldie campaign. That’s not an addition to your sig line, is it? It’s just a decoration, right?

I know you probably already know that, but even hardened combat veterans can lose their cool when pushed over the line one too many times.

BTW, most excellent rant. It had a good beat and you could dance to it. I give it an 85.

An 85?

Thats out of 100, right?
Cause usually they’re rated out of 10, and while it was a great flame(good job Yue Han) I don’t think it was that great…

…For the glory of Ed Zotti.

No, not a new sig. Just one of my more irritating posting habits, the sig-like post script.

Thanks, Notthemama.

30 and counting…the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Thank you, John.

Seconded.

Just curious: why don’t you people learn to ignore idiots? Why do to have to call for them being banned? Isn’t this the type of attention they are seeking?

Can’t they just re-register under a different name, and start again?

This reminds me of the flag burning debate. “I’m too offended! I have to make a law against it! I can’t just ignore the idiot!”

Well, this is a special case, and I’ve sat on my feelings about this a damned long time.

Opal complains about Board administration. I hold no ill feeling against Opal. Kellibelli complained about the administration. I LIKE Kellibelli.

But I despise Goldie. She is a patent enemy of this Board. I’ve looked at every angle, held back how I felt and came to the conclusion that she either wants to destroy the Board or is a fucking moron.

I’m not campaigning for her to be banned, though I do think she should be. My personal preference shouldn’t be enforced as Board rule.

But when I made the OP, I was sick of her shit. It was a rant, and should be taken as such.

Well, I can certainly relate, John.

I kind of lost it yesterday when Singledad left.

I don’t regret it, though.

Agreed, John and Wally. “One note” pissants are a pain. Well-rounded posters who lose it once in a while are one thing. People who weigh in only to carp, attack and snipe are quite another.

Given the blow-ups, hysteria and freeform sturm und drang around here lately, I sure respect your point, Retvim. But our beloved Pit has seen many a poster basted on the spit.

Call me a giddy optimist, but I hope the freewheeling, cross-grained atmosphere returns to the board.

I am perpetually out of the loop. I did not know that these people had left. This indeed is sad.

Good rant, Yue Han. That’s what the BBQ Pit is for!

I registered over at Opal’s site, (what the hell) because I am a board rat. It looks like a nice board. I love SDMB though, and won’t be straying too far. I certainly wouldn’t consider any other board a “substitute” for this one - it’s unique. All boards should be.

There was another board I went to a lot (I don’t go there as frequently now) and it had some turmoil a while ago. It had people leaving, getting upset, just like what is apparently happening now. I hate seeing it happen. I just hate it hate it hate it.

Sorry, it’s late, that’s the best I can do. Not at my most articulate.

Hey, look! Goldie made a post that wasn’t complaining about the board! This must be a first…

Check it out!

If you’d checked all my posts, douglips, you’d know that that link, which doesn’t seem to work, was not to the first.

Okay, so it was the second.

You should still go to hell, Goldie.

Dammit, WallyM7, that was totally inappropriate and you should apologize immediately.

Hey, don’t blame me.

Wally’s a big boy. He makes his own decisions here… He can take care of himself…
