You guys tried to chase me off but I just kept coming back... :zoinks:

What, no poll?

It's a write in thing :P

I've noticed two trends that seem to be popular here lately:
1. The inter-forum drama. It's getting out of hand. One or two threads, fine, but it seems some people here are completely obsessed with what's going on over at WP or AFF.
2. The involvement of personal information and/or IRL consequences over internet drama. What is really alarming to me is that no one gives a shit about it if it happens to someone who is unpopular.
-
Jack gave a shit when it happened to the parakeet.
-
I've already been chased off here once. :wanker:
-
Thought you took responsiblility for yourself on that one, duke.
-
I got this quote from a friend. "Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent free in your head." People hold grudges here really well. And they should charge rent, at least get something out of the deal. ::)

We have friends with similar quotes.

This.

Well, I've been called a dick and an asshole in the past 24 hours in here, and I pointed out the same issues and got mocked/ridiculed. I'll come in to look at boobies but see no other reason to be here.
-
Well, pardon me (not) for calling you an asshole.

Who called you a dick and an asshole? Did I mock/ridicule you, trigger, or ask you to explain your accusations, to which you deleted you comment? Telling people what to pay attention and what to ignore is a bit pushy. Are you leaving because of what I said?
-
I called him an asshole in his medical thread. TWICE.

Your posts are all ones.

Jack notices a lot of similar digits tonight.
-
Jack is also contemplating a break if it's true someone maybe doesn't want to be here because of her.
-
EBM thinks if someone doesn't want to be here because of Jack, they should get over it, because he likes having Jack around.

Yes, I called you a dick, cause you sounded like one. For the record, I've been called worse here and I've either manned up or ignored it.
-

I don't know Jack, but, Jack seems a decent sort! :thumbup:
-
I don't know what's wrong with people lately. One loss, one embarrassment, and they run for the hills. What happened to manning up and accepting your mistakes?

I didn't call you either one, but I think that some people who called you that may have been motivated by their concern that you needed to get medical attention for the excruciating pain you were describing. I was concerned about that too.
-
Seriously though, I understand why eris is leaving. People have been taking internet stuff into RL, and she doesn't want that to happen to her.
I considered leaving after the TCO drama for the same reason.
-
Christmas must be coming. It makes people crazy, like Jack.
-
That it does.
I don't understand why eris left. Before this drama she seemed to really like the place. So someone threatened her - but why would she leave instead of seeking justice for that person?
Only thing that makes sense is that it was in the peak of drama and she probably wasn't thinking straight. I honestly thought she was better than that.

Because it went from being just an internet message board to potentially having real life consequences. Not worth it.

We arguably ganged up on Trigger in that thread, but we ganged up on him for the common cause of "get bloody medical attention and quit gambling with your health." If that's bullying, it's bullying for a good cause.
-

If there was an actual threat. The existence of the PM seems to be in doubt.
-
I think just the possibility of it happening without an explicit threat was enough. I believe the PM in question was sent after she had decided to leave.
-
I'm reading through the drama now, trying to catch up.
It's so stupid that both parties conveniently deleted this alleged PM. Gah people.
But it seems credible that skyblue would have made an IRL threat, seeing his other behavior. I had no idea he was such an ass.
-

Skyblue1 is adamant that he never sent Eris a PM and he invited the admins to check on this.
He did say something here that Squiddy construed as an IRL threat, but he seemed mystified that Squiddy took it in that way and he later explained that by "fuck with" he meant make extraneous comments in their threads:
and how do you know it was false ?
HMM ?
Maybe he felt that way at the time ?
If you are SERIOUS going to PROSECUTE someone for this, I dont even know what to think
GROW UP
fuck you
Very mature Sky.
You know , actually I am seeing Eris's point right now.
Do you have any solid evidence TM is lying?
yes, he said he was carried to hospital in an ambulance for a suicide attempt. but yet he continued to post. In my country you dont go to hospital for a suicide attempt and get out . You are held for your own wellbeing and for observation. A suicide attempt is different from a mere threat.
Seems more like you have to see a psychiatrist before they decide whether to discharge or keep a person in.

What you have is circumstantial. :)
yeah keep checking on that, to satisfy your curiousity.
meanwhile I am on the ground in the states. and know my rights.
at least you are upping your postcount, other than that you aint accomplishing anything, as far as convincing me.
this is my vendetta, not yours
I will be sure to fuck with you, next time, I see you tilting at your next windmill
goes for you also eris
Plus are you threatening to take IRL action against me? , you realise that is one of the things that can get you banned from here right?
^ strawman
where the fuck did the IRL thing come from.
you are just trying to escalate.
thats not true, eris is lying.
squid is spreading gossip without facts and evidence
Still trying to weasel out of it.
I do not spread gossip , I am honest as is Eris.
Why would either of us be petty enough to make up a lie to get you banned?
Eris is leaving and until yesterday I respected and liked you.
Why would you be so petty as to make a threat towards someone IRL who disagreed with you?
Hmm let me guess!
I will be sure to fuck with you, next time, I see you tilting at your next windmill
goes for you also eris
My evidence is what you have said , you are prepared to resort to IRL trouble to "get revenge" on someone on the internet as evidenced with TM.
fuckng with someone on intensity is something that happens everyday
it what this place is about. members go back and forth on th threads
by saying I will fuck with you, it means if you are are in an important discussion here with someone or about something, I may just chime in on your thread with something off the wall, just to fuck with you.
kinda like what you have been doing to me the last two days.
so you are saying you havent been fucking with me ? for the lulz? or whatever? if you say you arent or havent you are lying.
seems to me you and eris can dish it out pretty good. but when someone comes back at you. you dont like that.
I do my stuff here in open forum.....have no reason to do anything behind the scenes (pm)
I am honest and have no reason to be deceitful, That is not why I come to these boards.

Well who will it be???? Come on who can we make either unwelcome or so fucking uncomfortable they either have their account deleted or just stop posting? I do not want a love fest by all means but neither do I enjoy the excessive nastiness that seems to rear it's ugly head frequently. Debate is fine, spamming can be fun some poking fun at others has it's place but the endless ranting and fighting sucks as does the constant talk of other sites some would be fine but come on
I'm still struggling to understand why eris feels her job has been threatened by what was posted here. It could be that we'll never know.
Is there a clue as to who threatened her and with what??

No, I just haven't read through the piles of posts. I take it skyblue said something that was taken as a threat, that's all I know. :dunno:

Christmas is rushed prematurely onto the radio and into the stores, causing the crazy. :santa:

OMG and i thought i was the last one to see the latest drama....but scrap is behind me!
I am still a bit confused though. Trying not to jump to any conclusions.

Looks like the "blue one" is next up for the meat grinder. :orly:

I've already been chased off here once. :wanker:
Er, no. You worked on it but you are still here.

Worries me a lot right now.

Odeon agrees with this.

Why didn't it worry anyone when Hubert did it Preator? Is it because he's unpopular, like EBM said?

Hubert kinda had no choice in the matter IMO. It was either get dox on him or let him continue to stalk and harrass other girls online. RL consequences would have come eventually anyway. I don't think Praetor can be used as case study because he was genuinely doing a bad thing that needed to be stopped.
-
So what preator and TM were doing made their lesson more deserved, but maybe not so much with people like steve, parakeet, and eris? Don't know the whole story with praetor, but hubert didn't 'get' anything but rather used the information he already has, and he admits to having a lot. All of the cases are similar but different. Praetor didn't do anything here, but was chased from this site, so my question for odeon still stands.

I don't think TM should've had his RL interfered with. Responding to his immoral behavior with immoral behavior was not the best thing to do. I say that now that I thoroughly know what happened.
The stuff against TM, TCO, Keet and Eris was out of ill intent. The stuff against Praetor was for the greater good. He had picked out another girl to harrass (Lilya from WP I believe) just before Hubert gave him the "ultimatum".

I don't agree with this here. I think TM was a predator of sorts in that he was fist gathering up public support in order to financially gain in much the same way that Plank has done.
Granted, this isn't as bad as stalking women on the net in order to stalk them IRL, but it's still predatory behavior. He's just looking to pick peoples wallets.

The difference, I think, is the element of a real-life threat (real or perceived). That other kind of bickering, flaming, etc, is par for the course here. MLA wanted Prateor to back up his shit. Not sure if that happened or if Praetor just left or was chased away, but I'm pretty sure a threat was never a factor.
To clarify my earlier posts: what I am worried about is when, for some reason, online stuff takes precedence over real-life stuff and it somehow becomes justified for some to harass a member in real life (or make a threat to that effect). I don't have a problem with the quarrels that stay online; i might disagree with them, sometimes strongly, and say so, but it's not the same as hunting down someone in real life because of some perceived butthurt.

My bum is on here in response to being told it was better than my face >:D
Regarding real life threats - i think nutters lurk everywhere! on buses, in chip shops, in forums!
I guess it is easy to become friendly with someone online and give out personal info, or even meet up with them. It happens a lot. There is always a chance that they aren't genuine.
It is also easy enough to get chatted up in a bar and do exactly the same. It happens a lot too.
Nutters are everywhere.
The only thing to do is not give any real info out anywhere online. People always will, though.

Thinking the word hubert used was agreement, not threat, but believe they're the same. Also am of the opinion, using people's real names and photos is actually messing with someone in real life, as apposed to threatening to do so.

can vouch the weeble is trustworthy :hahaha:
If i weren't such a scare-dee-cat about flying i would not hesitate to visit you, or PPK, or quite a few people actually. If i were invited or not :zoinks:
There are a few who i am not too sure about, but only because i haven't interacted with as much.
Then there are one or two, who's door i would worry about knocking on, lol

Yeah, most of us have indoor plumbing, you'll love it here, come on over! :viking:

Know what a chamber pot is, but didn't really understand what that meant about empty out the window. :-[

I am not visiting anyone :M
I have no intention of ever leaving England's shores.
-

That's what people used to do years ago, before there was plumbing.
They would dump their waste out the windows onto the street! :sick:

That was sanitation in older days. you poured it out the window into the gutter
-
oops CBC beat me

Okay. Would be really ticked if someone tossed a pot of piss out the window at me for knocking.

In England's uncivilised times chamber pots were emptied out of windows onto the street. I was assuming it was same in America

I'd never do that, no matter who knocked. Piss is gross! :sick:

Imagining myself in medieval times now.
If i was thinking 'piss pot is looking full' i would hang on until someone ghastly knocked the door.

Have read similar about the us and chamber pots being poured out into the streets of city slums; just not the part about tossing out the window.
-

Sometimes do that too. Designed a castle in my head once; took about three years.

Apparently it was polite to shout a warning beforehand.
I would hope so too. did they have umbrella's back then?

Jack has awesome focus! I would love to travel back in time to visit medieval
England, as long as I could have an anti-plague vaccination first! :viking:

I have often thought how cool a time machine would be. So many different era's - i would love to see...but i don't think i could stomach the stench.
-
It's just a sleep thing. Have done several different structures. Am very spoiled and wouldn't really want to live in that time.

Visiting medieval England would be my dream come true, stench and all! :2thumbsup:

:laugh: What was the warning shouted?
not sure....maybe 'duck'
-
Simply had to know, so looked. It's funny.
Loo, it is suggested stems from the French warning "Gardez l'eau" shouted
before emptying the contents of a chamber pot out of a window.Gardi loo was
a shout from an upper window in old London that a person was about to throw
"slops or night soil" out of the window.
French for "guard yourself from the waters"

:clap:
hehehe :clap:
is that where the word 'loo' comes from then?
-
That's what it said, but not from a reliable source or anything. It also said it could be an urban legend. Didn't really feel like looking up the etymology of the word loo to make sure though.
-
If i could peg my nose i would love to go back in time. Just for a visit. Maybe the Elizabethan period.
I wouldn't want to be a peasant though. Would love to prance around in one of those huge dresses, and go to a real ball....i am sounding like cinderella.
It would be cool though, just for a day.
-
Oh i would imagine chamber pots and all sorts would be emptied through windows across the USA if i came a door knocking!
At my door! you come a knockin', we be a rockin' :eyebrows:

I was about to say "gardeloo" but you found it first.
I read the same thing in a choose-your-own-adventure book when I was a kid. 8)

I wish to have it known that I appreciated your previous avatar more.
I thought maybe it was taking up too much bandwidth :zoinks:
Not sure but I'll be happy to look into it. :zoinks:

You're just stuck with me...deal with it. :autism:

What makes you think so?
-
Well, she deleted her account, right??
-
Can we please chase off the Canuck! I mean.... Social Justice Warrior from up north :M
-
I'm not chasing anybody. I'm fat and I'm having hot flashes. :melt:
-

Does that include mood swings?

Not really. I have my ups and downs, but nothing out of the ordinary. 8)

Awkward------> This guy

Awesome.
<---------This guy. :zoinks:

Are we chasing off somebody?
-
y'all aren't getting rid of me that easy.
CBC, you ever come over to these shores, do come oop norf, come visit, your one of the people I'd love to meet here. Gut tells me we'd have a blast.
Same in Lit's case if he hadnae' fucked off. Although probably a somewhat different meaning of the word 'blast' would be in operation there.
-
Awesome.
<---------This guy. :zoinks:
Got some of these the other day haven't used any yet :zoinks:

If you need some gopher gas, I'll help out with that anytime. :zoinks: :fart:

I successfully extirpated the miteds on my ergot sclerotia already, wanted to avoid potentially harming the fungus, so I used argon, inert as they come more or less. Suffocated the bastards by displacing all the oxygen.
Don't want parasites on my parasites:P
No need to risk poisoning myself handling something as noxious as those mole smokes, PH3 isn't something I want to handle indoors. No need to use anything nasty at all, because after all if they cannot breathe then they can't very well harm my valuable genetic material.

He lives right near Adam. Manchester area.

Does adam still come here?
Sure I've walked past the guy before..or someone the spitting image.
And manc accent to a degree, modified by having spent a long time down south, at a boarding school.

He drops in occasionally, wish we saw him more. :(
-
He's got an actual life. :M
-
I don't think people are chased off. I find the thought of it very silly.
A member on here once asked me to chase him off.
Mind you I have not seen him lately...?
-
Some of the trolls we used to have came here for the bragging rights.

Manchester is pretty much just over the hill from where I live.
