Should I Iron My Toaster?

Thing is, it is Easter.

I struggle to imagine a less unreligious festival, an' the purpose of my post is not to invoke any kinda behaysoos, *bless moi* but jus' to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to anyone got holidays over the weekend, especially if they are expectin' bunny-borne chocolates an' an excuse to indulge in ultramerrimentery.

In its way, it is a shambollically shallow gesture, but I figure the true depths of said shame will not be fully plundered until mebbe after lunchtime next Toosday.

It is my intention to take time out from the planet, so if I am quiet over the holidays, it will not be cos I got sealed in a cave behind a rock -- though I am sure my friends will wanna try this if I hit the vino.

(Call me psychic, but most people do not stash heavy diggin' equipment in their broom cupboard in the run up to a festival hosted by an imaginary bunny.)

So listen, do plentya warm, fluffy hooman stuff over the weekend -- an' mebbe if you are workin', grow a beard an' dye it yellow (guys) or strap on an origami beak (gals).

An' that is an order!

      Jus' hope you didn't spend too long researchin' here, Davo, an' I have changed the title thread jus' in case anyone else wantsta help out with this function module conundrum I am not only not havin' but also got no clue about what the fr*ckin' hell it even means.

      That'll teach me.

        I think Dave was goofing with you. I read it and knew you did not know what
        that subject meant. I think anyone with even an iota of geek in them knows
        and Dave has "geek" in spades.

        So, my guess is he was just having fun back.

        Of course, I could be wrong. In which case, you should send him a case
        of bud.

          Well, Easter has fluffy bunnies, need a say more?



          PS l hope that you didn't get banned for anything, here Princess, since there isn't much to get clobbered by.

          Hopefully you posted something else involving chainsaws and political figures dressed up in religious attire.

          Hope you come back soon, or post on another forum?

      My guess is she's been testing the line for foul language and found it.

      Not saying I agree with the ban, just my guess on why it might have occurred.

          Fair enough. I'm operating pre-coffee and post-allnightbabytantrum, so I'm not yet operating at my sharpest.

            Fair enough! I've been there myself!

            It's sometimes at that point that new parents decide that a family bed scenario (often combined with breastfeeding) isn't the worst thing to try. But I hesitate in even speaking such heresy, as it's often viewed with the same intensity as Religion and Politics.

                        I guess guilty as charged. I've already been banned twice. I get the funny feeling that the third time would be for much more than a week. Frankly, as much as the whole self-censorship-to-appease-management thing really annoys me, it's just easier.

                        'Cuz, yeah, if I were to start hunting for the hidden egg behind your fluffy bunny, I'm pretty certain that I'd find it, and a perma-ban would result... not that it might not be totally worth it!

                                I was offline last night so no clue really what might have transpired.

                                I see "no religion and no politics" but I don't see "no dirty talk in the ot" so maybe that needs to be addressed. But I don't think we (ok, I) really get that bad, do we?

                                If that is the case, I'll be submitting a new "code" WSO that will double as a cipher.

                                If this is the case, I find it very fu*ked up. Last I understood, this place was restricted to those under 18.

                                If a grown up can't tolerate reading bad words - particularly on a forum catering to the sometimes very grown-up world of online business - to the point where the offender gets escorted and locked out of the building, well, fu*k that. Doesn't sound like a place I'd want to hang out in the real world, or anywhere else.

                                If someone asked me not to smoke in front of their establishment, I'd respect that. If someone asked me to lower my voice in a quiet, public place, I'd respect that.

                                If someone in a bar asked me to not use such colorful language, I'd politely invite them to suck my balls.

                                Can someone please quote this quick? And if I don't see you later, Happy Easter.

                                  I'm the one who first mentioned it. It's simply my assumption based on events as I witnessed them. I do not know for a fact that excessive language was the reason, but I haven't seen anything else from PB that would trip the ban hammer.

                                        PS l thought that the fluffy bunny, egg, train of thought was a vague reference, as to why she got clobbered. And Google Eggs relate to hidden things in their program, like making the Google search function, collapse in a heap, etc.

                                  You have to be 18 to join, but children of any age can read the forum. There have been children who joined who weren't even teens yet. Of course, they were banned when they revealed their age, but wanting to make money online isn't restricted to adults.

                                  Mild profanity was tolerated to a degree, but F-bombs have never been allowed. Graphic sexual references weren't tolerated either. I've seen comments used in this thread that would have been deleted before.

                                  I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the ban because I don't know what prompted it, but the current mods aren't doing anything the old mods didn't do when it comes to language, if that's what the ban is about.

          Probably a short 'time out'. My guess is they don't have mods who speak "princess" so were missing some of the 'stuff' PB puts in her posts until she messed up and made a couple 3 word comments above.... Or maybe there was another comment that went out the escape hatch with her?

          Without the usual Princess babble and story telling around the 3 word replies...the terminology couldn't be ignored?

          It will be a long weekend....

    Censorship, especially of PG13 material at best, sits very badly with me. Almost as important, what the hell are they thinking on a business level? Banning the people who make this place interesting while tolerating scammers and spammers is just dumb.

      I sort of disagree as I've always thought the f-this and f-that had no place on a business forum...and I've said so many times. But when it's part of a persona that has been permitted for this long, seems a bit odd to suddenly decide it's over the top.

      What I find interesting is that we have people who are openly gaming the systems of this forum...and we're doing cleanup in the OT section?

        I've been trying to get the sock puppet thread shut down for two days. It's obvious what was going on there. Shill starts thread so that link spammer can drop his/her link. Thus far, after two tries, I got the link removed ... except for the fact that the shill OP quoted it, so it's really still there. The link spammer turned off his/her sig for that post, but in his/her other posts, that link is in their sig.

        Neither of them are banned, and both should be and the shill thread has not been removed, in spite of me twice explaining exactly what is going on there, and all the sock puppet jokesters in the thread, who also obviously know what is going on in that thread.

        So Princess says something someone doesn't like, while shills and link droppers are free to carry on. Makes no sense to me.

        I agree Kay about that type of language being inappropriate for a business forum. Yes, this is the off topic section but it is still a business forum.

        If you remember, before the new management, any sexual vulgarity and/or raunchy talk was zapped immediately. Even the mention of private body parts.

        So what confuses me is why when the rules are finally being duplicated as before the new management, we complain.

        We don't get to pick and choose which rules we want enforced.

        Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Princess's poetry, creativity, entertainment, and humor and her good heart. I'll miss her too.

        But in her own words, "talking dirty" probably isn't going to be tolerated, I'm guessing.

        I'm also maybe guessing from another thread where someone said something about skewing the numbers of people on this site, that perhaps it was being shown for sale. If that were true, I'm sure the powers that be would view her "dirty talk as offensive and distasteful. Maybe they didn't find them all, but deleted those they did find and banned her so she couldn't post anymore for a bit?

        I don't know, it's just a guess. But I think the good thing is that all of her posts haven't disappeared which would indicate a permanent banning. So she'll be back!

        If you're reading the forum, we miss you Princess!!

        She's actually used worse. The whole bit about talking raunchy and describing peoples Privates with harsh rhetoric. I was was surprised they didn't do it back then. But they just deleted her Post

            I rarely even try to read through her messages, though I do enjoy looking at the crazy word construction.

            I want her unbanned because it offends my business sensibilities that a harmless (and yes, interesting) member is punished for a little language while the real criminals roam free.

              Agreed. I have no idea anymore what missteps trigger bans down here in the OT, besides the obvious spammers. But when members like the Princess and Jill get banned, something's seriously off...

              Business sensibilities? Nah.....I like Princess B and we have had some very amicably entertaining exchanges (So much so that Robert got jealous and told us to get a room) but this isn't a bar. It an off topic subforum on a business marketing site. I am almost sure its not a long ban but she needs to pull it back just a bit. Its not just some F bombs. Some of her posts go into X rated material ....way ..way over the line. I told her once to clean up a post because it would get her in trouble and she thanked me and did because she knew it was over and ten miles past the line.

              I don't think i saw the post that put her on vacation but the mods gave her a lot of latitude and warning. if it was due to language and porn theme posts anyone railing against the mods for enforcing a very clear rule is just trippin,

              Being over 18 to post on this site is not so we can read expletitives and Porn on a business site

            While that may be for some, I simply don't like the idea of a ban for language. Yes, she could be saucy at times, but there's an underlying intelligence to her dipsydo literary babble.

            Some have mentioned that this is a business forum and foul language has no place here. First, this forum has descended to the Chuck E. Cheese of business forums. Second, throughout high school, undergrad, and business school, I was taught that proper English was paramount to business success (or at least acceptance in the marketplace), yet, here at the forum, we have a Wombat policy that holds harmless poor syntax, randomly capitalized words, and sentences that appear as though they were run through a literary garbage disposal. This has been deemed okay, but an f-bomb here or there is ban worthy (IF that were the reason, which is still an assumption at this point).

            There are times when a thought can be strengthened by a judisciously placed swear. I, personally, try to avoid that here, letting an occassional one slip through and, instead, simply allude to such things, but I don't begrudge others who lack such restraint.

            This little rant isn't aimed at you, Cheryl. You just prompted me to explain my position. I accidentally brought forth this little rebellion with an aside and don't want folks to think my stance is merely about the ability to describe crotches.

              Dan I had thought up to that post that your unban "rebellion" was tongue in cheek but now I know its serious and just ridiculous. The rules of language ,obscenities and porn subjects has been on this board from beyond the time I signed up. Its on almost every business related site and is the entire basis why certain forum software like vbulletin have language filters.

              There are times when a thought can be strengthened by a judiciously placed swear.
              And yet I have never seen a CEO of a fortune 500 put it into company communications to the public. If you cant strengthen your point without expletives an body part references something is wrong. part of being a mature adult is knowing when and where to use languages and expressions. The language rules have been here forever - this management and before - so this is not one of the places for porn and constant foul language.

              Arguing because other things are going on that the language rules should be changed doesn't make much sense

              I don't think she was banned for foul language, I think she was banned for raunchy distasteful descriptions of the male and female anatomy and what she would and could do with them. If you find that acceptable, I don't think you are the Dan I thought you were.

              Also, just because you think the forum has disintegrated down to what you call the Chuck E.Cheese level of business forums doesn't mean you get to decide what can and cannot be allowed.

              Now, if you bought the WF, you could do that. Set the forum rules and have your own mods to reinforce them. And if you allowed foul language and pornographic writings no matter how cleverly described, I for one would not participate. In so doing you lose all credibility in the business world.

              Also, I would imagine there are particular forums for just that. I wouldn't know, that's not my forte.

              I find it funny that you can pardon people for lack of restraint in cursing that you can maintain but find it okay to speak pornographically.

              Whatever, but you must remember, bottom line, that this is a business forum first and foremost. I have heard it said by some that you shouldn't mix business with pleasure and I guess this would be an instance where that holds true.

              I'm just trying to get you to think reasonably and shake your head to clear out whatever spell may still be left in there because I do know that you are an intelligent man underneath it all.

    I am certainly not suggesting that type of language is acceptable, and if she used it then I missed it. That would have been a good opportunity for some actual "moderation" rather than an outright ban.

    What I find infinitely more objectionable is that members like this have not been banned. The harm they have done far exceeds the benign ramblings of PB (if you don't count the brain-scrambling).

      Jack -

      Weird stuff here - 2 sellers, different countries, posting dozens and dozens of ads here - for the same products with the same bonuses packages...and posting to their own threads multiple times a day.

      Most interesting is that they post to the SAME product threads within a minute of each other day after day. So both have launched ads for "product A" on the same day - with the same bonuses and same % off claims - and then for months each posts to his own ad thread several times a day....and always posting on the same ads at the same time....

      It's a new way of advertising here but apparently acceptable....while we have to clean up the act in the OT...trying to adapt here....

    Ban for foul language? Really.

    I highly f*cking doubt that was the reason. And, yes, being a graduate of cognitive linguistics from a top 10 university - I know the very implications, semantic imports, etc and so forth of what I say every f***king time I swear and neither need nor appreciate a censor.

    You all know where to find me, and frankly since I don't give a rat's ass anymore, I'll self-sacrifice to the damned volcano.........

    The reason Princess was banned is because FL wanted to save money so hired mods that haven't a bats chance in hell of understanding the first thing about this forum, how the community made it a successful forum, or how to moderate it. They don't seem to me to be smart enough to inhale/exhale without direct supervision. That is why a lot of long-term, vital members get the ban hammer here.

    Seems the corporation here could have used actually reading the damned forum when they bought it. A LOT of good advice herein at that time about getting what you pay for when you outsource. We know why they hired from where they did. It wasn't for professional ability -- at least not from what it seems from comments on many of the posts any of us can tell.

    You can quote this if you want - don't need to. Most of you know where to find me if I get my throat cut. I will warn you though - I just checked the list and Princess doesn't so if I am disappeared for this post and she comes back -- someone give her the bugout coordinates please.

        The first time I was temp-banned, I at least got email notifications of thread updates and PM's, which meant I could at least then go back and catch up on things after a week's absence. The second time, there were no email notifications, so I'm not certain that PM's would help.

          No, l PM'ed her yesterday with no reply, so it seems that she has had a F***it moment, and kept away from here til her gardening leave is over.

      Sigh....such total irrationality. Mods give probably a short ban for excessive cursing and multiple pornographic ramblings and now its all the evil FL and allegedly incompetent mods fault. Way to shoot credibility on in the foot when complaining about other things

        Good point - they don't exist. That stuff wasn't permitted here before and we've seen much more of it since 2014. I remember quite a few threads and posts deleted in the past that didn't come close to some of the stuff posted here recently.

        Everyone who has been here for a few years knows that is the truth - no matter what you argue.

          Iam not appalled at any language these days. But being used to a certain standard here for so many years and then all of the sudden this smut talk comes up...well just a little disconcerting and very puzzled because it was totally out of context for here.

            Gotta tell you what happened a while back here. PB was posting some really funny and suggestive stuff. It was 'laugh out loud' but also down and dirty. Several of the male (insert the word 'forum' here) members here were highly involved in the thread in post after post.

            I sent a PM to Jill at the time saying "wouldn't it be funny if the Princess turned out to be a him?" We had a chuckle behind the scenes.

            It's Monday already - probably be won't be long now before the royalty returns.

                  That was the story by a relentless WF troll, who had free reign here to constantly attack Alexa and anyone else he wished to for a long time. He was finally banned and everyone thought it was finally permanent. It wasn't. He was back and continued his personal attacks on Alexa. She went off the deep end about the ban not being permanent and voicing her opinion strongly to an administrator got her the ban.

                  There is no rule that anyone can't pose as a sex other than their own or use a fictitious name. HN (an anonymous name also) accused Alexa of scamming people here. He should have been banned for that alone. Alexa not once sold anything here or ever had a commercial signature. She did not do business on the Warrior Forum.

                  HN, the nasty little troll was finally permanently banned afterwards. No good reason why he shouldn't have been long before.

                  Now, back to PB ... she did push the limits on some really raunchy posts. I don't know what got her banned, but that has never been allowed here before or now and I don't disagree with it. Minor cuss words here and there have never been cause for a ban, but the type of porno stuff that she has posted ... maybe. I still love you Princess.

                  PS: Is it really wise to discuss possible "conspiracy" theories regarding PB. Think about the possible repercussions and ask yourself if you'd be happy with that.

        Irrational? Maybe - but I'm royally ticked off and just don't give a crap anymore. As far as foul language..................I've always been linguistically very raw and have never been even reprimanded for it in here. Got chewed out really hard by Paul once for comparing something to Mein Kampf and he blew a couple of gaskets on it. But my language never got me more than a slap or two from people who are actually linguistically very sensitive.

        Just about over it. I've basically lost what has been my favorite stomping ground for over a decade now - and just don't care if I piss these people off or not. I don't feel the intellect to run a place like this is behind it anymore. Sorry if someone wants to get butt hurt over it - but that's how I see it.

            PB basically thrust herself on this section of the forum, not even a year ago, and demanded attention with her mostly inane babble-talk. When the level of attention didn't satisfy her often childish demands for more, she then progressively resorted to thinly disguised gutter talk in an effort to be acknowledged as some kind of verbal messiah here.

            Whilst she had the undoubted ability to compose a splendid riposte, or an insightful and colorful view on topics (on occasions), maybe she can now realise that the forum does not revolve around one person - and regardless of what you load of sad a**-lickers think, anyone with a twisted expletive riddled tongue like her should have actually anticipated a ban long ago.

            Better members than her have come and gone from here. And better members will surely join. It irritates me that some long standing members of this forum have to express their "oh so sad feelings at the loss of PB" in such a totally petulant way. Get over it fools. It shows what a sad life you really lead. That tells me everything I need to know about the intelligence and caliber of some folk on this fast declining forum.

            As Terra tried to tell you, the forum is here as an IM forum, with the OTF as an aside. None of you idiots who think your views should be taken into consideration by the owners and mods really matter. Good conversation died on here a few years ago. All we have left now is third world wannabees, perpetual IM losers, imbeciles who still try to trade on their perceived self-importance with scam signature links, and some of the original or long standing furniture on here that believes longevity entitles them to the right of pomposity and superiority, in equal measures.

            So sad. Get a life.




            You're one of the worst on here. A nonsensical "follow the herd mentality character" who spouts nothing but garbage. You spend probably more than half your life on here, dangling your link for the novice fishes to bite on, but will no doubt make out as if it's "just a small extension of my real business". That's what they ALL say, but it fools those in bungalows but not those with an upstairs. If I were a mod then you'd be the first person ejected from the place. You've no real humor no matter how hard you try, and add nothing but drivel for the main part.
            HEHEHEHE

            It's funny when people put down others and go overboard with the attacking and act all superior and all.

            The fact is by doing this it shows they might have an issue with Social IQ. ( and also may have some "stability" issues for reacting in such a over the top way over a silly forum on the Internet LOL)

            It is just not an effective way to communicate or get your point across. And it is hard to take serious. lol

            The fact is you started a Thread a few weeks ago about a Reporter and could not take the heat or anyone disagreeing with you so you blew a gasket and resorted to personal attacking.

            And today it looks like you are repeating history

            A huge Red Flag that you cannot argue based on intelligence and rationality but resort to noise because you are coming from a weak place.

            PN, word of advice : Go back and spend some time at Sparta and when you have gained some debating skills and can communicate without name calling and such ....then come back here big boy and lets dance



            P.S. You really made me giggle about the Herd Mentality. Ask Suzy, Frank, Claude, Kay or any of them. We have sparred unmercifully. I was the one who defended Shane many times because I got sick of all the put downs by the regular OTers.

            I have Always fought the herd, actually. You are just taking bits and pieces and do not know the whole story

            Like I said get your ducks in a row over at Spartan and when you feel a little stronger and can have critical debates and rational arguments with others (MINUS THE NOISE) then please come on back anytime !!

                Another crap and distorted sentence from you. This, from the guy who's trying to project to others he's smart.

                Smart boy , I never said I was superior. I never attacked anyone. It's just another figment of your distorted - I've spent too much time on a forum - mentality.

                What I did say was that those of you who are whining about PB being banned are sad. I stand by that.



                ???

                Seriously, I would run your own IQ through a check first before casting aspersions on others. You're the sad case with a family, but who spends all his time on a forum trying to eke a living from a scam signature link, and trying his utmost to fit in with the "in-crowd" with juvenile, misplaced attempts at humor.



                And that is an effective way to communicate I suppose.



                A sign of your obvious low intelligence. You obviously can't compete on a level intellectual playing field with most. Hence, you resort to childish attempts to deflect attention from your own ineptitude.

                Face it Rob, you're nothing but a sad shadow of a man that leaves his partner and children alone, whilst you try to project the big man image on a forum with your scam signature link and bullshit posts.

                Sad. Very sad. Regardless of who owns the forum now, it deserves a lot, lot better than what your sort bring to the table.

              It's not worth my time to go into this all over again, particularly with someone with the mentality of an amoeba.

              My point was proved. Of the two main attackers in the thread:

              One person totally contradicted themselves and was made a laughing stock.

              Another person from that thread has since deleted their signature link after it was proven he's a scammer.

              DID YOU ACTUALLY READ THE THREAD THROUGH PROPERLY?

              I GUESS NOT.

              AND IF YOU DID, AND STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND, THEN THERE'S NO HOPE FOR YOU.

              His initial post above is only his second post since he was banned two weeks ago, and already he's spewing insults right and left. Since this is the very behavior that's gotten him banned a few times already, you'd think he would learn.

              Apparently he just can't help himself, although the predictability is a bit amusing.

              Hopefully the mods will ban him permanently (although he'll just come crawling back under the guise of a new username).

                Cali, I've never had anything against you but you now seem to be jumping on the bandwagon of bashing me for no just reason.

                I've not "spewed insults right and left", as you succinctly put it. I simply put my opinion as to the fools who beg for the return of Princess. She was banned for a reason, as was I and many others in the past. Obviously you think the forum mods are wrong, and you and your band of hyenas are right.

                You're just another one who's judging after participating in the herd mentality that exists on here. You obviously never properly read through the thread in question, yet feel qualified to be judge and jury. I really thought better of you prior to this.

                I've done nothing to be banned for... that is unless the Mods are influenced by the haters and liars that exist in the OTF.

                As for crawling back.... don't flatter your levels of intelligence. If I had a permanent ban for expressing an opinion in no worse terms than you or anyone else has done on here previously, I certainly wouldn't feel the need to rejoin under any other name just to be even remotely associated with the likes of you.

              The fact is by doing this it shows they might have an issue with Social IQ. ( and also may have some "stability" issues for reacting in such a over the top way over a silly forum on the Internet LOL)

              It is just not an effective way to communicate or get your point across. And it is hard to take serious. lol

              The fact is you started a Thread a few weeks ago about a Reporter and could not take the heat or anyone disagreeing with you so you blew a gasket and resorted to personal attacking.

              And today it looks like you are repeating history

              A huge Red Flag that you cannot argue based on intelligence and rationality but resort to noise because you are coming from a weak place.

              PN, word of advice : Go back and spend some time at Sparta and when you have gained some debating skills and can communicate without name calling and such ....then come back here big boy and lets dance



              P.S. You really made me giggle about the Herd Mentality. Ask Suzy, Frank, Claude, Kay or any of them. We have sparred unmercifully. I was the one who defended Shane many times because I got sick of all the put downs by the regular OTers.

              I have Always fought the herd, actually. You are just taking bits and pieces and do not know the whole story

              Like I said get your ducks in a row over at Spartan and when you feel a little stronger and can have critical debates and rational arguments with others (MINUS THE NOISE) then please come on back anytime !!
              I will be eagerly awaiting, homie

                Do you think you are the only person who got an invitation? lol. That's not the case. Troll free? Hardly. I already reported one thread by none other than the now banned devil, for personal attacks and the posts were edited by the administrator there. Then there's you over there, whining about the WF and anyone over here who disagrees with you, only being careful not to mention names (you sly devil you... shhh, the walls have ears), like your friend the devil did. You're another one who can't take a debate and can't take it when someone disagrees with you, and I've got news for you. People are going to disagree with you no matter where you land.

              Do you think you're a big man just because you've got a big post count? It means absolutely zilch.

              Maybe that Positivenegative character was right about you. I've noticed in my time here that almost everything you post seems to be either a put-down, or you take sides in a debate and try to belittle people.

                I watch Forensic Files, CSI, and the likes for years and I would venture to guess that the occurrence of that being a coincidence is extremely unlikely.



                With Cali's observation of similar character traits and now this ...I mean almost nil chance that this is mere coincidence.

                  Can't take credit for it. Someone else who I believe wishes to stay anonymous caught it, But yeah excellent detective work on the person's part. My spidey sense were already tingling but that person found those goods.

                Yep ... that's what I noticed also. Reposting things that already have been talked to death here, bashing WF members and administration, Taggo and Devil back slapping each other while bad mouthing members here.

                There are rules to that forum to imply that personal attacks aren't allowed, but it doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule, and it took a pm to the admin to get a personal attack on me removed from two posts by none other than the devil himself. More personal attacks on someone else were left in the post. They only removed the personal attack I complained about ... not all of it. The thread would have just been deleted here, but it was only edited there to remove the part I objected to.

                  As the "someone else" The devil one was going after I'll be fair and say the admin has made a couple of posts calling for that place not to be just a bashfest for WF but thats the only time it really comes alive (along with encouraging each other to advertise here - against the rules) and is mostly dead as door nails the rest of the time.

                  Plus as you rightfully point out the not making it a place for bashing FL and WF and members of it is not really enforced with any seriousness. For all the talk of Fl not knowing how to run an IM forum thats the only value add - you can bash people and hoist Mars conspiracy theories.

                  Not sure why tag had to join in on that with PN/HD/MP . I have always been open to his ideas but I guess on the other side if I require some solid proof he sees what he says he does that's offsetting to him as well.

                    Because the devil was being so supportive of him at the time over there all the while bashing both you and me, so he didn't want to irritate the devil by countering his personal attack by saying that you had been supportive here. He briefly mentioned it, but not with any real conviction or substance. When I reported the posts, I was reporting for all of the personal attacks to be removed ... not just the one against me. A rule is a rule.

                    I've always respected the admin there and I did see him mention that he didn't want the forum to become just a place to bash WF and WF members, but so far, there's a lot of that, at least in OT. Haven't checked out the rest of the forums yet.

                I visited there for the first time in a long while last night. Sadly, that's mostly what I saw as well (and the culprits were predictable). Not sure why some people have to discuss the same topics to death and essentially repeat themselves over and over... really desperate for attention I guess.

              I should say people like the now banned PN does one thing very good.

              They make you see the outrageous to put the norm in perspective. Its well known I have disagreed with some people in pretty intense disagreements over race, new ownership and a perceived fraternity but over the last couple months came to realize I share things with some of the same people (and some pretty strongly), Many of them like I

              Despise sexism (never liked it but having a daughter bumped it up to despise)
              have some decorum in business settings
              take some amount of resistance to slinging teenagers in class around
              believe in wanting to see some evidence
              Don't believe in incessant name calling

              So people like PN help people who disagree with others on many things see that there is much more agreement between them than either of them would have imagined . Suzanne claims I have mellowed recently (doubt she will think so if another race based thread starts up EDIT: not that she would be the one I respond sternly to in those threads) but harder to see people as the enemy and sum them up negatively when you find more and more in common.

                Mike ... I really don't know why you say that because you and I have nearly always been on the same side in the race discussions. We've disagreed about Freelancer, the WF in general, and I can't remember what else, but not race. It's personal for me. Some beloved members of my family are black and I was raised by the most non-racist mother I've ever met.

                    Ok ... I get it.

                    Here's my thing with those discussions that inflame and separate some of us. I firmly believe and support the "no personal attacks" rule. I think it's the best way to run a forum.

                    So, in a race discussion, I won't say ... you are a racist. I will say that was a racist remark or that was a sexist remark rather than you are a sexist. There's a distinct difference, although the person who said the racist or sexist thing is often really a racist or sexist. Argue against the points of debate, but never resort to name calling.

                    PN obviously is an over the top example of name calling and personal attacks ever since some had the audacity to disagree with him.

                    He's back over at Spartan right now continuing the attack on me and you, and I have reported it once again to Mike, and this time specifically included the attacks on both.

                    That forum will have a very hard time retaining members if that kind of stuff is allowed to fly.

                    EDIT: I have been guilty in the past of calling spammers and really over the top people assmonkeys. lol. I normally try to stifle the urge to do that.

                      Meh we won't agree. I don't say someone who steals very often has "theftic actions". Nope he's a thief. not calling it out is just a cover


                      He's back over at Spartan right now continuing the attack on me and you, and I have reported it once again to Mike, and this time specifically included the attacks on both.

                        Just came across this post from a thread on another forum.



                        I find this so, so much more pleasant than getting the silent treatment.

                          or when people refuse to show up because they can/t find any reason to move there.

                          Some people won't like this but this is why I have always felt the claim that the most seasoned marketers are down here in the basement was at least suspect.

                          for all the whining and hissing at FL and WF that the dissenters made and make. they go and start something else and the only value add is that you can bash WF and WF members over there and talk about Mars conspiracies.

                          Shouldn't great marketers know how to create value adds and a USP?

      I think the guy was pretty genuine. He expressed his feelings in both this thread and the thread he started on the compo claim a few weeks back. From what I can see his posts were taken completely out of context by a few on here and it does seem there's a ganging-up sort of mentality in this sub-forum. A few I speak to privately on here think the same.

      Whatever. From what I've read between the lines it seems he was right about one particular person being a dubious character as their signature link has now disappeared.

        You might need glasses there sport. Sig link of Discrat is still there.

        forum posting 101 chapter 7 - referencing sigs in any way is never a bad thing. They are mostly ignored until someone calls attention to them which always results in more click throughs.

          What's with the snide remarks?

          I've been a member here over two years, and have been browsing the forum since it started. Through my business I know the best of the IM guys who use this place. So what does my post count have to do with how many I talk to on here?

          Do you think you're a big man just because you've got a big post count? It means absolutely zilch.

          Maybe that Positivenegative character was right about you. I've noticed in my time here that almost everything you post seems to be either a put-down, or you take sides in a debate and try to belittle people.

          You really telegraph bad vibes, which really ain't that smart.

            Hmmm ...exact same thing PN harped on even when he was railing against everyone. who kinda sounded like Horny Devil.

            People take time to make friends and then PM. 26 doesn't normally do it. I smell smoke. I'll make any observation on that I feel like and don;t believe you know the best of anyone nor am I required to..

              I've read the guys post history. The same as I've read MAnthony's post history, and a lot of others on here over the years. Oops, don't tell me, that's a crime as well.

              And your two quotes above are a prime example of what he's obviously seen as ganging-up on people for no reason other than you can say a sarcastic remark to them, but when they fire one back it's like a red rag to you....unless you're one of the chosen in-crowd that is. Funny, I'm a member of five other forums and that sort of behavior is simply not tolerated on them.

              Exactly where do you get off talking about people like that? I've said nothing to you yet you feel you can simply abuse people. I suggest you read my initial comments again, and then come back and tell me what's so "smug and condescending" about them.

      Thats a bit of a strawman. Theres a multitude of reasons that provide context that makes that the icing on the cake

      Timing showing up in a thread just at that point
      harping on the same things that PN harps on
      reacting to criticism much the same way
      a relatively dead username from 2014 (Within months of the old HD being banned) that just comes to life in march 2016 around when PN is cursing out and name calling any and everyone for not agreeing with his sexist thread.
      You've been two years here lurking and all of a sudden you get extra active while one is banned
      You haven't been posting but you know all the best Im guys here and converse with them on the posting habits of everyone.

      So yeah one Englishman showing right up after the other spelling the same way holding the asinine position that name calling non stop is a reasonable position is pretty suspsicious.

        Surprisingly enough, I agree with you on all of that. I was just saying that that one piece of evidence was meaningless by itself. When you start to add it to all the other evidence it does begin to paint a compelling picture though.
