Well, you were kinda acting like a stupid idiot, I mean getting all pissed off at someone calling you a post whore. He was obviously just kidding about it, and when you write a post that big, chances are most people will just read a couple of sentences and move on, I do any way, and you can hate me all you want, I don't care, I see this place as just a chat room, I don't consider these guys in this board my friends like you do, u have to consider these people your good friends (don't know why, you might not have any friends in the real world, and just come here cause some people like you) because if you didn't you wouldn't make such a big deal out of this.

Fluffy, I've never said anything negative towards you, and have found no reason to do so. I'm just going to log out as my name for now...we've lost a couple of good people here due to fighting. I'll be no part in this disscussion/ argument.

First of all Fluffy....YOU ROCK!...now that I have said that...I don't understand how people can come here and make comments like that to people on this board who have been here longer than they have. I look at this board like I do going to visit anyones home. You do not go to someone's house and insult the person who lives there. If you do not like being there you leave. We are not forcing anyone to hang out here...you do it because you like it and that should be it. Sure you can have differences in opinions, but you should still remain respectful until you have earned the right to do other wise. I am not sure where the comment was made and why..and I really don't care that much but respect should be shown at all times. FLUFFY YOU HAD ME AT HELLO!

TN, Fluffy himself even pointed out that it wasn't the "post whore" thing that got him riled up... just that the only thing pcbdmb had to say to his informative post was a small joke... and even then, the only reason he took offense to that was really because pcbdmb said it right after Fluffy posted, right as he was feeling the most frustrated....
I'm not trying to speak for Fluffy. I could very well be wrong. This is just my interpretation after reading that whole topic.
Peace, Patrick

Who else thinks how great it would be for everyone to know that the little trash can at the top of your own post will actually delete posts, for good?
I mean, you can't erase the problems and misunderstandings and all that. Oh, wait, yes you can. It would have to be a concerted effort of all those involved, but that probably wouldn't be that hard. Just get the misunderstood "quarreling" members to understand that most people here ARE friends aboard this here space pod, and delete away, until all that's left is happy stuff.
Kinda like putting the board on Zoloft, more or less.
I know that's not a complete and utter solution to the all the less than positive situations, but I think it would go a pretty good way in helping.
And of course I mean, leave your actual points, but delete the [what I call] bickering.
Just my 2.

The problem is that n00b's come and they don't know what's going on like the regulars do. We know each other, at least to some extent, well enough that we feel comfortable enough to have fun and make dick, jizz, shit, crossdressing, perverted, fart, sexist etc. jokes with each other... that, of course, includes Fluffy.
Then the n00b's come. They are either clueless as to what's going on or they just want to start shit... he goes to great length to set things straight, and they don't even dignify him with a reasonable response, if they respond at all. And somehow, these bastard defensive posts always seem to find their way to the surface as a response to Fluffy's posts. It's really asinine and I don't blame Fluffy for getting frustrated. Then on top of that, a lot of we regulars joke around SO much that we make light of EVERYTHING, even though I think it's now evident that Fluffy would like us to back him up every once-in-a-while rather than making snide remarks about all the things that he's being serious about.
So in that sense, it will always go on, and unfortunately deleting the questionable posts will accomplish nothing because it will sweep it under the rug until the next bastard comes along and singles out Fluffy... which I do feel bad about the way that happens, but it's going to come with the territory of being the board "leader," for lack of a better description.
Then you have the ones like TN or SGWAG that don't know when to quit while they're behind... talk about borderline trolls. It's kinda funny that it's the n00b's and morons that don't care whether Fluffy is here or not end up ruining it for those of us that do care. -J

Silky, I agree with your last paragraph. And I agree with pcb that it would just be ignoring the problem. But if you ignore problems, then sometimes go away. And leaving the bad stuff (bickering, for example) doesn't educate the new people. Because if they come after that has died down, they will never see it. So it will happen again and again, whether or not it's left up.
Howerver, if it's deleted, then people that post semi-regularly will come by and see something's up. They'll ask what happened, then everyone that's always here can just say, oh don't worry about it, we're friends, and it's worked out.
I guess I see that as a way to involve less people in the drama.

Seems like everyone is understanding my frustration!! Thanx for taking the time to stop and sus out what I was talking about. I shall not forsake my friends!! I said alot of that in the heat of battle and for that I am sorry. I promise to address ALL your comments on a more personal level tomorrow. I ran my ass off for Ani DiFranco for 15+ hours today and must get a little sleep b4 I have to be back at the club at noon tomorrow to do the same for Rusted Root. Hey, did you guys know the world is actually functioning at 10am? That is what time I had to be at the club today. I don't think I have been at work at 10am in say 15 years. It is a whole different world at that hour of the morning. I am watching the hands on the clock tick by and with each click I get less sleep b4 I have to be back at noon, so I gonna try and get some sleep. Thanx again for understanding and sticking by me. Sorry to anyone I said anything derogatory or negative to. It was more a frustration at the situation than at any one person or persons. See ya tomorrow!!

I just want to say that I consider all of the regulars here as friends!! Even though most of us haven't met in person, there definitely has been a friendship built and a bond has been created between us. The newbies don't know us at all and don't understand that. It might be a good idea for the new friends to go back and read some of the past posts before we are judged unfairly. We welcome all newbies with open arms. Where they take it, that's up to them. If they want to get to know us, that's very cool. Things that happen like this makes our friendship grow stronger! I pitty the next joker that starts something. The TR/Fluffy Task Force is getting organized!! Hee hee!!
So sorry for your frustration Fluffy. Just remember that we care about you very much my friend.

Every time I see STP use his three letter designation for victor wooten fan, my dislexic side kicks in and I see VFW, which of course would be veterans of foreign wars (or something close), and I think how odd it is that a vet would post on this board.

Okay, here is the explanation:
quote: Wow, I can't believe you all called me an stupid idiot and and asshole!
This was my attempt to let everyone see how I was feeling. I directly accused EVERYONE of calling me a stupid idiot and an asshole when noone actually had. Then I went away and didn't explain my comment. Well for those who followed the tragedy of the last few days, that was how I was feeling. Like people were saying I had called them names and then they would lash out and disappear. So I thought I would try it and see how confused you all got. Everyone going "who called him and asshole or a stupid idiot, where did he get that".I just wanted everyone to feel a little of the confusion I had been feeling in hopes that it would help everyone relate to and understand a little better what I was trying to deal with. It can be frustrating to not know what you did to incite the anger of others. I don't know if it worked, but that was all it meant. If you felt any confusion by my comment, that was the point. To make everyone say, "Why does fluffy think I feel that way, what did I say to make him think this". Cause those are the kinds of things I was thinking after some of the perceived attacks(may be to strong a word, but I don't know what else to use. maybe perceived comments) It was not meant in a mean or vicious manner, I just thought it might be the best way to help everyone see it from my side. Comments had been put out there that were directed at me for what I could see as no apparent reason. Sorry it had to be so rude, but hopefully it worked. It was just a test of sorts, so I hope there were no hard feelings. Nothing was meant by it!
This has been a test of the Emergency Fluffcast System It is only a test In a real emergency you would be notified where to tune in your area for official information............................

Thanx much Jason!! I had to quote the whole thing just because of the last line. That shit cracked me up, big time!!! It seemed to fit so well after your long diatribe(which rivals one of mine I might add HEHE). Thanx again for your friendship and support!! And THANX for understanding!!

RIGHT ON THE MONEY!! I couldn't have said it better myself! You have the whole picture and in this case it was fine that you spoke for me. You were not wrong. Your interpretation was dead on. Thanx for trying to clear it up for me. I appreciate the support, help and your understanding of the situation. PERFECT!!

Hey My Bad Side, I totally respect your sentiment and intention with the idea of deletion of posts, but I think deleting posts would be alot like sweeping it under the rug. As we have proved, we can weather the storm, and hopefully come out the wiser on the other side. Deletion of the posts is a step in the wrong direction. I understand your reasons and I commend your desire to make this a better place for all of us, but as with life, you come up against problems and you have to face them and overcome them. We have shown that we can do that here thru the strength of our friends. I think those posts are a tribute(albiet in a twisted way)to our friendship and our ability to overcome and work together to work out our differences. Those posts show the world exactly how strong our bond is. Those posts are also a part of the board along with the good ones. Deleting them wouldn't change anything and leaving them shows our strength against adversity. So while I love that you suggested that with only the best intentions, I think it is better to leave it alone and put it behind us. No need to erase it. It happened, it is a part of life on this board. We weathered it and we are all still here. That is the important thing, not whether the posts are here or not but that we are here. Glad to have you here and hope you stay around for a good long TIMe!!!

Hey My Bad Side, to use your own words: [quote]Howerver, if it's deleted, then people that post semi-regularly will come by and see something's up. They'll ask what happened, then everyone that's always here can just say, oh don't worry about it, we're friends, and it's worked out.[quote] I think this is exactly what I was trying to say in my last post. If they are there, people who stop by have a testament to the friendship aBOARD the board. They will see that we fight and have our differences, yet we work it out and move on. We don't let it bog us down. TRUE FRIENDSHIP. Those posts display that very well. I think!!

Indeed I did, and I am sorry you feel/felt really bad. You really should not. As I explained you were just the straw that broke the camels back. Your comments were not so slanderous as I might have made them sound. I was angry more that I was afraid it was another case of being misunderstood and someone getting offended by something I said. Namely you. My anger was certainly not directed at you. More at the situation. Don't sweat it. I have cooled down and there are NO hard feelings. Glad to have you here, and hope you stay around for a while.

Well, don't delete them. I can see both sides. And it doesn't matter really to me. I just thought it would go a little way in fixing the problem. But now, since the problem is fixed, then all misunderstandings are understood, so there's no reason to delete anything. Maybe I'm just suggesting deletion while the problems are ongoing, and people are still misunderstanding.
I don't know. But I'm glad it's worked out.

Hi Every(regular friendly)body, I've been a travelin' without my computer so this is the first time I've read the board in a few weeks. I've missed the laughing this board brings to me. I also feel like I need to fly in with my ray gun and dematerialize a few beings. (" Captain if we take all of the carbon out of the carbon unit whats left"? I dunno Scotty....let's try it!) GEEZ...go away for just a small while and come back to all this confusing stuff. What's going on? Wait!.... don't tell me cause I don't want the details. Let's all sing songs and hug one another. Touchy Feely Touchy Feely. "Michael row the boat ashore...LaLaLa. The family's all here and we love each other...Sgwag...are you gagging yet? Let's hope so!!!!
SGWAG....You really just need to leave and find yourself another "CHAT" room. I will hold back from rifling you with nasty comments and simply tell you....the board, world, galaxy, and universe(multiverse), would be a much better place without "your way of thinking". You are just an annoyance to this board, but DANGEROUS to humankind. And what if a post made Fluffy cry? At least the MAN has feelings, which is 2 more things than your poor self will ever experience. Have a little self discipline and try to stay away. You'll never be accepted in the family..."she says in her best Al Pacino voice! Love, Evergreen XOXO
