And second to BB...ALF??

Never saw or heard of this!

And look, he was Kramer-ish even back then.

BB...Mr. Belvedere? Yer 0 for 2, my friend.

well, I tried to sleep but I'm a little too pissed (sorry if I get all serious on y'all)...you see, I got a little warning earlier today...

"This isn't ok here; it's still name-calling and you're putting your posting privileges at risk. If you want your account to be read-only, just tell me now and it'll be done."

we all know what this is about....when some people clued me into what had happened to another member, I was literally crying with laughter as I read the PM's to my wife, telling her that ______ had been called a "bad influence" on us.....bad influence?? what are we, in middle school here? yes, we can all be juvenile....isn't laughter a good thing? judging from the use of that damn ROTFLMAO smiley, people are finding this a pretty funny thread.

If you want your account to be read-only, just tell me now and it'll be done.

yeah, that's what I want....rollseyes.....I want to pay $40 a year, year in and year out, so I can read only....I'm pretty sure I can "read only" almost anything on the internet except maybe the sick, fringe stuff that goes on in the world. I think one reason I'm so pissed is there coulda been a "hey, we know you're kidding, but we really can't have that kind of language, etc"...you know, maybe talk to me like an adult instead of scolding/threatening me like I'm your four year old kid...and, I am an adult...I've buried both parents, buried my best friend, seen some real nasty stuff in my job, etc...

this forum is a great place....I'd like to think that in my nearly 15,000 posts I've probably only had maybe 5 nasty ones....those were in the MT and I pretty much avoid that place because it's kind of an exercise in futility....no, I prefer the "stupid" threads and there have been some memorable ones over the years....give me the AET and let it truly be "all encompassing"! You know what else I have been a big part of? Helping people and being helped....you see, I had cancer and the people here played a huge role in my eventual recovery....chemo, radiation, surgery, more chemo, another surgery....it took over a year "out of my life" and the people here kept me going....I would post during chemo and make fun of my sorry existence...yeah, I was cynical before but cancer can really put an edge on you.

If you want your account to be read-only, just tell me now and it'll be done.

so, hey, to pay it forward, 2 other fine board members and I organized a t-shirt campaign when another board member's daughter was in stage four renal failure...a lot of people in the "this place is dead" thread helped us out....I feel like I know them....we had literally 100s of donors and we raised thousands of dollars....and I actually DO know a lot of people here...they've crashed at my place, I've crashed at theirs...I feel I know the original "bad influence" pretty well, even tho I've never met him in person....he and the butt of our "name calling" will get along great when we meet someday....I know that we/I have also supported people with brain tumors, ulcerative colitis, other cancers and all sorts of other nasty stuff.

If you want your account to be read-only, just tell me now and it'll be done.

you know another thread I'm "in" all the time? the doggie thread. over there we share to joy of having doggies but we also share grief and offer support when our doggies eventually leave this world....there is not one ounce of negativity over there...you see, we are mature enough (believe it or not) to know how to conduct ourselves in any given thread.....threads take on their own lives and if ONE person in the "dead" thread had said "hey, stop it," it would have stopped. But, no......

If you want your account to be read-only, just tell me now and it'll be done.

towards the end of that thread, headonist posted this (before the sh*t hit my fan): "Character, integrity, decency, self-deprecation, and a wicked sense of humor - those are among the traits by which I judge (and yes, I do judge, at least from this small personal perspective) and embrace people. All boxes checked from here, and I'm thankful there are many in this place I see similarly."

see? we're not bad people....we're not a "clique"....if anything, we wish more people would wander into that thread....because this place IS kinda dead....and it's because of petty crap like this while the shortcomings of this site are ignored...the ONE thread I've ever had locked was locked, IMHO, because I "found" one of the mods discussing reaching level 4 in Halo or some such shit in the "Video Game Thread" and pointed out that maybe they should be more concerned with the dwindling numbers in the forum....and instead of locking it....the "I'm taking my ball and going home" approach....maybe you coulda just deleted the "offensive" picture?

in closing, I'll use the nice ending you put on my warning email:

Have a great day!

I really hope I can sleep now and really hope I'm allowed to speak my mind....not sure about either.

and, halifaxxxx? I need a new song.

Well Rob, I hope you still get to come here and post. I don't go to FB much anymore, I'm really sick of certain aspects of it.
Don't care much for some things here either, but what do you do.

Enkidu

I barely post here any more (since the "changes") and I miss so many of the people who used to post. I have to say, I'm a little afraid these days of posting the wrong thing and getting a warning or getting banned. That's not the way it used to be.

But I wouldn't be posting at all if there weren't people on here like Imalive. Hang in there, Rob.

Wobbie

^^^^^^ these are two of the peeps I love! (and the rest of you degenerates)

Who Princess

Rob, I know you're pissed. More important, as far as I'm concerned, I know what a good guy you are and what you do for other people. You were the very first person here to make me feel welcome, don't know if you know that. This will pass. Please don't go anywhere!
