Title: on banning, conversation and this board.
Post by: JB88 on January 20, 2005, 12:18:46 PM
skuzzy was accurate in his statement in that i was not "banned".  i was blocked.

in my view that is a matter of semantics but means to me essentially the same thing.

yesterday afternoon i called him and we had a good conversation regarding the matter.  it ended well and i found that i was again allowed to post in this forum shortly thereafter.

it was nice talking with him and give me a perspective that i might not otherwise have had.  he listened and was receptive to my opinion as well and i hope that he gained a bit of insight into me that is hard to guage based soley on text.

it was never my intention to spark rage.

i have debated about whether or not to jump right back in where i left off but the thought occurred to me that i havent really "enjoying" myself so much lately as i have been feeling a constant urge to rip someone to shreds for something that they have said.

it occurs to me that like a yawn or a sneeze, anger is contagious.

a sickness.

i think that we need a general quarantine and a serious rage check here across the board.

i think that those of you who feel that personal insults are going to change minds or earn respect might reconsider the value of that philosophy.

in artful and useful conversation i think that it is imperative that we do not personify the issue at hand in such a way that we no longer listen or care about the rights of others to have an opinion.

we should cherish our ability to change our minds rather than stiffling it.  one cannot grow without doing so can they?

name calling is a bit childish wouldnt you agree?

disrespecting anothers right to an opinion is a bit totallitarian dont you think?

desiring that those who disagree with you should be silenced is a bit selfish isnt it?

i am guilty of some things, ill admit that.

can you?

i would like to request of all of us that we try to keep it civil around here.

we are adults.  lets act like it.

thanks.

You're not allowed to know. One day, if you're persistent, you'll say the same thing and then you'll know.

Or just post within the forum guidelines and never be concerned about it.

I have nothing but high respect and admiration for Skuzzy. He is the epitome of Moderators, a doer of deeds, fearlessly goes that extra mile. He should wear a cape with a BIG HTC on it *sorry Skuzz but all the capes with S were already taken* and skin tight leotards and a mask...with flames.

 :aok

















Skuzzy when are you gonna sign my adoption papers?

You do realize that your response to every single one of my posts is a personal attack, right Mac? Not that I care - it's tantamount to an itch that I can't locate - but...

I dunno, you're like the last dude I'd expect to see singing the virtues of Scuzzy when it's obvious that you don't respect his rules, and by extension, him.

What did skuzzys voice sound like 88? I guess he sounds like one of those 9600 baud dialup modems but there are also some rumors floating around that he is a real live person. Come on 88... what does a modulator sound like?

They do wonders with those computers these days. i plugged some speakers in the hole on the side of mine a few weeks ago and all kinds of sounds came out. Even the naked girl made noises.

I have heard it called all kinds of names before, but never computer.

Post by: Skuzzy on January 20, 2005, 04:24:20 PM
So the next logical question,...

Why was your thing on the desktop?

And, why did you have a "play" button installed?  Or,..did your significant other have that alteration made?  :D

i dont think that anyone lost here.

i dont feel that i lost anything but rather that i have gained from the experience.

but then, knowing the whole story makes that possible.

feel free to make fun of me all that you want, but remember, i read all of these posts out loud with sockpuppets and yours will be edited accordingly.

sometimes its best to make fun of people on the inside rather than on the outside where its visable.
