Oh, no problem with any of that, I salute the mods and administrators for herding this obsteperous gang of misfits.
I was specifically addressing those who feel returning members should get a few days posting privelege slack (at discretion) before having to decide to re-up. I’m against that.
So, I signed on the day after my meltdown and had an e-mail from TubaDiva. I was sure it was going to say “You are banned you stupid fucking psycho, now go and never darken our door again”. Well, no, it was quite nice. Not only was I not banned but I was asked to stay.
Now, I wasn’t going anywhere anyway but I have to say the e-mail warmed the cockles of my psychotic little heart. No, I was never going to sue anybody. Jesus pete, you folks should know I’m a complete whack job by now. Oh, and I understand about Magoo now, k thanks.
Winston Smith, sorry you lose. I waited til Saturday to post. Too bad.
Otto, the Adolf thing was a joke, way before I melted down. It was a play on your “money jar” thread.
But, bbs2k, that wasn’t a meltdown. He seemed to be making his points crystal clear, not just freaking out all helter skelter. I love a good meltdown, they are my favorite threads to read…and that wasn’t a meltdown.
aww, shux. I guess I just kinda miss the little guy already. Never mind me…
Well, as long as you’d like to discuss it, I don’t believe he was here to provoke. I believe he visited and posted in this message board for the same reason I did. Which was because he enjoyed doing it.
He had a forum he could discuss and talk about music, movies and videos games.
A forum he could ask peoples opinions on things he was curious.
And a forum he could blow off some steam with some over-the-top rants, which were more funny to some than to others.
Then he posted an inappropriate thread in another forum which was closed. Something I have done myself. But then, with a target on his back he decided to throw a me vs. the world battle in the Pit.
He’s guilty of being stupid. But in my opinion not what others have labeled him.
On preview: Nzinga, Seated has replied to me. I melt.
That’s 'cause he thinks you’re hawt! Well, except for your unstraightened hair.
Are we still on for Sylvia’s/Lola’s?
Abby_Emma_Sasha, I’m glad you stayed too. I’ve seen your generally benign posts around the boards and wondered what was going on during the recent, uhm . . . . incident.
It may just be me but it seems that the rule Don’t be a jer****k is treated like jaywalking at 6 AM on Sunday out in suburbia and sockism is treated like first degree murder. I actually think a little sockism might be good - especially for the owners, and the members.
But I’ve never run a message board, or even a listserv, so what do I know?
Interviewer: Stig, I've been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to
the floor.
Stig: No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give
his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
Interviewer: But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head
to the floor.
Stig: Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah.
Interviewer: Why?
Stig: Well he had to, didn't he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing
else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law.
Interviewer: What had you done?
Stig: Er... Well he never told me that. But he gave me his word that
it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy.
I mean, he didn't want to nail my head to the floor. I had to
insist. He wanted to let me off. There's nothing Dinsdale wouldn't
do for you.
Interviewer: And you don't bear him any grudge?
Stig: A grudge! Old Dinsy? He was a real darling.
Interviewer: I understand he also nailed your wife's head to a coffee table.
Isn't that right Mrs O' Tracey?
{Camera pans to show woman with coffee table nailed to head.}
Mrs O' Tracey: Oh, no. No. No.
Stig: Yeah, well, he did do that. Yeah, yeah. He was a cruel man,
but fair
