This was the first I’ve heard of ferris taking personal offense, and otherwise I felt it should have been obvious I was exaggerating.

I could not tell and I know I took it to offense as well due to the lack of clarity when you posted it. Exaggeration for effect doesn’t always read well on the net. It’s all good though, you cleared it up, it helps immensely.

I assumed you were in the throes of a most potent rage, so I did not take your statements as a 100% accurate reflection of your actual sentiments. I don’t know why others did not figure likewise.

It is only my opinion that it might have something to do with the way different people interact here. Since my experiences with Frink were mostly negative it would seem natural that I would take it differently than you would.

I’ve had some potent rage and the only thing most here seemed to figure was that I was just being a knob and an ass-wipe. And I’m no less human than any of you are, LOL.

The new rules might just help give folks a chance to know each other better (those of us that don’t anyways) and I am all for better and clearer interaction with fellow members.

I can’t wait to watch this and that yellow-poster cover is perfect!

It is the shit isn’t it? I am always in awe of VC’s artwork.

Ok, just to try and put this to rest (although I’m sure it won’t work):

1. ferris is not an Ohio legislator who voted for the bill, so my comment did not apply to him or anyone else on this forum.
2. ferris has said in the past that he believed our abortion (due to our (very much desired) baby having terminal fetal abnormalities) was justified, whereas this bill would have prevented EVERY abortion for ANY reason after six weeks, including our abortion, as well as any pregnancy due to rape or where the mother’s life was at risk.
3. And putting ferris aside…do you guys really not understand exaggeration for effect? You think I literally want all those people raped? Of course not.

While I am quite appreciative to see this sorted it could have come sooner to lessen the impact it had here. Thank you for clarifying your position. I will consider it closed as well.

Based on previous airings, they are not HD, all presented in cropped 4x3. They looked pretty bad, like watching them on tv 30 years ago.

I really have no use for them, personally, but it seems that this type of thing is popular on myspleen. If theres no demand, i wont bother.

Monster Zero would be awesome that’s for sure.

It might be nice for a nostalgia set too.

😃

She is a fighter for sure. All my hopes to Carrie and her family, friends, fans, and her dog Gary.

I have to say I think it was a bad idea locking the politics thread. It punishes everyone for the acts of a few.

On another I am now seriously wondering if Darth ID is paying something to mods. I mean, can anyone think one, just one good reason to keep him around?

Until they add “no rustling warbs feathers” to the rules I don’t see why you think he should be banned.

HE’S A TROLL!!!

Citation needed?

^ I did not know you had a patented jedi move here … until now I guess, LOL.

I legitimately miss yhwx. I thought he was back from his self-imposed exile, too.

Ditto.

I am now starting to miss him as well.

I actually think a statement like this would be kind of a funny way of purging the internet of Legacy stuff to ensure the cat stays in the bag until a planned official release in the near future. Not saying I believe that’s what this is, but wouldn’t it be nice.

Hey, I thought I was the only tin-hat fool around here, LOL.

That piece of Bundt cake had Caramel frosting on it, so yummy, LOL.

Please, just enjoy it for what it is.

I just did. Thanks, man! I liked that!
My lady liked it too. Half way throughvshe asked “what the hell are we listening too?” I said “something someone told me to enjoy.” And so we did. : )

I’m glad. I love The Fixx. They have not caved to popular belief and they are still as popular and relevant as hell. This song just has that something one can’t deny when they hear it.

😃

The piece of Bundt cake I just had was awesome.

^^ I sincerely wish you a Happy Holidays warbler. Maybe this section of the forum should be closed until the New Year giving everyone a needed break.

Or people could stop being idiots who act like they have no control over themselves and start self-moderating so we can have a decent forum again without relying on the mod team to teach people how to be civil adults to one another.

If you need a break, take a break. Don’t ask for someone else to step in and force everyone to take a break because a few people can handle themselves. The mod team have better things to do than spend their time babysitting OT.com posters with no self-control.

Good advice for everyone Tyrphanax.

You’re all pulling a Spuffy in this thread.

I miss Spuffure.

I have to say, I seem to be missing Spuff a bit as well.

^ I guess it can be difficult to tell at times. The internet is cold. I want the experience to be enjoyable for everyone as well but I sometimes wonder if we have some that may not want that. They may only care if it is enjoyable for themselves. My point was that we all have an opportunity when we respond to someone. We can either try and be helpful or as Jay suggests, we say nothing if we can’t keep it nice. We all fail at this, myself included, probably due to the mindset that I’ve become accustomed to around here.

Changing it will be a challenge but I am more than willing to adjust. This only helps if everyone else feels the same way and is willing to do so. Me doing it alone will not change things and that is the hardest message to convey when people’s opinions are already set in stone.

Thanks!

I’m assuming your joking about laserdisc looking good on a 125 inch screen though =p

If it’s set up well laserdisc should look fairly sweet on it. It won’t ever be HD but a good solid projector can make LD shine better on that screen than on a TV.

You say moments “and that you’ve been better but 90%” of your posts have been ragging on other members since then. So BS.

I am unsure how you got your numbers

Peer-reviewed scientific study.

It was part of the recount then? Damn, I didn’t have time to get the ruskies on my side, LOL.

I am unsure how you got your numbers but no, they have not. I am no better or worse than anyone here. Anyone who thinks different about their status here needs to re-evaluate why they see it that way. Twisting the context of people’s posts to make a whole new argument is really poor form. It is not about you only. It is not about me only. It is about all of us. If you have issue with that then it is your issue, not everyone else’s.

The Fixx - Happy Landings

I want to say something nice TO everyone here and this song, aside from being recorded by an awesome band, it is very special to me.

Please, just enjoy it for what it is.

😃

I don’t wish to be in your signature Fo. Please remove my quote. Thanks.

In the spirit of being on topic: though I don’t always agree with him, Frink still makes me laugh quite a bit.

This request could have been pm’d to me. Doing it here just made it fodder for some to toss around and it only adds to the chaos. Anyways, the site updated, and it no longer appears in my sig. I am sorry if you took it being there the wrong way.

^^ I sincerely wish you a Happy Holidays warbler. Maybe this section of the forum should be closed until the New Year giving everyone a needed break.

I know you’ve been through a lot and I don’t wish you any ill will. Enjoy the time with your family and friends and we’ll see you next year. 😃 😃

If you can’t see the difference between constantly complaining about a place you’re voluntarily staying at and complaining that someone else won’t stop complaining about a place I’m trying to enjoy then I don’t know what to tell you.

There is also a difference in being part of the problem and being part of the solution if I’m not mistaken. You gladly take the support of your fellow members when you have a problem in life and I have been one of your supporters because I am sincere about things getting better for you. Why is it so hard then for some of that support being returned to the place you are trying to enjoy to help make it better? If you can’t see that difference then I don’t know what to tell me either.

I post this to you respectfully, not with any intention of malice.

Possessed said:

I’m sure there’s a clever saying about when you think everyone else is the problem you’re probably the problem.

I know there’s one to the effect that if you get bad customer service everywhere you go you’re probably a bad customer.

Anyway, Fo, just stop bitching about this place so much. Just fucking stop. Don’t say it’s a double standard that you not be allowed to piss and moan, just stop. Do that and I think you’d be amazed how much nicer everyone (including Frink) would be to you.

You took what I said and made it about me. I said “WE” which I believe the dictionary defines as “all”. I’m not bitching about this “place”. I like the site just fine. I am also not here to indulge in some favorites competition. I have always asked that people be treated equally AND that people treat each other equally, nothing more.

2. My behavior may not be saintly, but I only return fire. I don’t start it.

Ahhhh, I have said as much about my own behavior. You told me to “f&^k off” yesterday and I didn’t do anything to you. Our responses can be seen as “starting something” but if you noticed, I did not respond to your meanness. So that makes me bad?
