a no-politics day?


Posted by gypsyfrocksbedlam ® , Oct 02,2003,21:08   MetroBlab

I'm proposing to make Friday a no-politics day on the 'Blab. This is an entirely voluntary exercise, but I think it might be nice if we made all Fridays no-politics days. Write about poetry or porn or movies or (nonpolitical) people you love or hate or whatever, just no politics. We all get plenty of it the other 6 days of week. Think of it as the Blab version of casual Fridays -- mix up some margaritas, kick back, and dream about Tahiti. Anyway, I intend to abide by this whether anyone else does or not.

Followups



YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME, LITTLE MAN!?!?!? MUAH HA HA!!!

As long as it isn't huge breaking news on Friday. It will be hard not to discuss something like the discovery of who leaked that CIA agent's name. Or say, if Runny suddenly sees the light, supports Clark and provides links.

I was thinking Friday could be a review type day. One could discuss a particular movie, band, artist, beer/wine/spirit, website, etc.

I've finally realized I MUST support Wes Clark.
Since the adage, "laughter is the best medicine" is true, in his own way, Clark is helping hundreds of millions of people all over the globe stay very, very healthy!
He's so good, he's practically a surgeon!

OK, beam me up to Planet Zyclax, Gen. Clark!


in honor of no-politics Friday...

if that were indeed the case, we should stick with the current, and thoroughly laughable, administration. bush would be the messiah.

Just to clue your sorry ass in here....

after stealing half of my handle and then loading yourself up here, I see where you are asking me

and I quote...

"have you ever seen a woman's vagina, besides your mother's?" unquote.

Let me tell you something you miserable piece of shit. If I was indeed in Knoxville and had the opportunity to do so, I'd knock your front teeth into the back of your mouth so hard that you'd wake up in the local hospital trying to figure out your freakin' name.

Who the FUCK do you think you are, man?

I wonder what kind of small sleazy punk you might acclaim to become, slithering up from some sewer in time to steal some guy's handle, and then have the unmitigated GALL to lecture him about what you THINK he might should or should not say.

I'm actually SORRY that I have to share the same board with your miserable, mis-educated sorry ass.

For your pathetic information, I have seen a few body parts in my days on the planet.

What IS so incredibly sad is that your post stands right here on this forum whilst the NEWSPAPER called Metropulse attempts to gets advertising. I am certain you are doing them a BIG favour by telling the world what KIND of reader you are. You've got to be helping out the home team by telling other posters that "have you ever seen a vagina, besides your mothers?"

Just be LUCKY that I don't run into you, Holmes. Any time you want to bring your slender butt to Memphis, you let me know....because I will be more than happy to send you to the MED while I go to 201 over it.

Who in the H*ll do you think you are to ask people here such obscene trash?

Bring your buns to Germantown, Tennessee-- and let's SEE if you can make such remarks to me or anyone I know here.





so, that's a 'no', then? nt

i do see a few trips to starkville MS coming up. perhaps we could meet there.

BTW you don't have to share this board. you could leave anytime. your attendance here is not required, is not nessisary, hell, is not wanted.

Ok, just for the record.

I find the word and reference to "vagina" in Fermaggio's post MUCH less offensive and delete worthy than your repeated use of the word "Fuck" in this post (I also find it odd that you chose to put an asterisk in H*ll and left fuck right out there in the open).

Not that I am condemning either word in adult discourse. I just have to be pretty quick with that "back" button when my children are about.

and you are in the same boat with Fermaggio, spine singler.

Tingler, Pingler, whatever.

Sad sack fool that you are.

You've never been anything more than a flamer on this board. And what is the PROOF of that is what responses you have been given here.

A 'hi and bye' here or there.

And 99% of your responses go unanswered.

You are nothing more than a pathetic FLAMER. Your posts come in here to cut people down, and belittle them, as best you can. But your words have NO TRUE IMPACT.... you sad little jackass....

because you have not CONTRIBUTED TO THIS FORUM.

If you had given us good things to read, we might consider your perspective!

Instead, you have only INSULTED PEOPLE here.

You tiny little roach on this board. There will never be a day here when I can not step all over you, and crunch you into nothing. People here will read what I have to say... while they pass you by in a freakin' New York Minute. There has never been ONE DAY HERE where you can eclipse me, or a dozen other people here. I'm only happy that you keep such a stupid handle,

because it allows me to spot your pathetic little ass and AVOID reading you altogether!

You've never been anything but a flamer here, Spine TINGLER. Whatever the hell that means anyway.

And everyone here who has been here for very long KNOWS IT.

FLAMER.

They all see your handle.

All that it means is that they will read you LESS.

And with EVERY SINGLE POST, I GAIN POWER.

They will listen to me because I CONTRIBUTE, you pathetic little jackass.

NO ONE here is impressed by spine 'tingler'...

you tingle no one's spine at all, moron.

You are a flamer, and flamers who keep the same handle have only one rung of respect over the rest of them.

And that is ALL you have got.

whew. i thought you had given up the words "roach" and "flamer". good to see those are both still in your vocabulary. you need to calm down and relax. why dont you put your copy of "The Best of Air Supply" in the changer, put in your favorite volume of "Teen Tennis Vixens" in the DVD player and...well, hopefully you get the idea.

You are ALSO one of the biggest flamers on this board, Fluffy. You say vile and sickening things to people all the time, and engage in personal attacks that are vicious.

You're one of the several.

And everyone here already knows it, man.

'Put your tennis girls in a DVD player'....yadda yadda. Is this supposed to be amusing, Fluffy? Is this supposed to be 'cool'....? Did you grow up in some backwater hayseed tiny eastern Tennessee town where this kind of banter is what it takes to be one of the 'cool kids'...?

Do you think people are laughing with you? Do you think that you are witty because you can verbally abuse someone?

Let me clue you in here.

You've got about as much class on this board as a town drunk puking his stomach up outside a bar. Look over this entire board, at every post of yours here...and show me where you've given these people so much as one lousy link to something interesting for them to read. Show me one post where you've presented a case for WHY you feel the way you claim to feel, ONE LOUSY post of yours where you've truly contributed anything here worthwhile.

If you can manage to find one, then give us TWO.

You can't do it.

You've engaged in ruthless personal attacks on me and other people,

and you think you're cool doing it. You're actually so unaware, or clueless about it that you think there are people here who somehow value the slop you bring to this forum.

You're just another flamer here, and this board has SEVERAL of them, and a lot of them are using SEVERAL handles apiece. Look over this board and show me where anyone has engaged you in any meaningful conversation about anything of relevance. Look over this board and find me ONE SINGLE DAY when you were in a good mood and actually contributed something positive in terms of posts here.

You can't do it. Just like I said-- you're a flamer. In your world, being cool on a message board is INSULTING people, attempting to hurt them as best you can, and using personal attacks to do it. Just a little Boston turd... floating around on a board.... ticking people off.

Have you lost your mind completely? 'cos if your schtick is all just a big act and you're really not THAT clueless, it's a darn fine one. (And worthy of some kind of board-trolling award for persistence and continuation...)

yeah, but as JJJ has said, Ian is probably the #1 problem here because he allows us "flamers" to exist here. of course, most of it is things he himself posts and we just use it against him. not our fault hes posted numerous times about Lolita tennis players, pics and all.

I can't believe that in this era of selling newspapers that you, Ian...will let his kind of hogwash stand on this board.

Now... dig it dude I UNDERSTAND your predilections toward free speech, and they seem noble and cause worthy in a world where free speech is not so well taken....

but Ian you need to make a stand on what this board will contain, and what it will NOT contain....

and personal attacks like the one he made here where he SAID "have you ever seen another vagina other than your mothers?"

should not be here.

I really DOUBT that advertizers at the Metropulse want to be included in such horse manure, and the reality IS... by very inclusion of posts like his, you have included them. In other words, METROPULSE might not agree with posts on this board, but they STAND BY to watch sheer lunacy take place; they stand by to watch slander, libel, and OBSCENITY laden posts get posted here, and then Metropulse lets those posts stay here,

for ALL TO SEE.

The bottom line is what kind of newspaper are we running here?

And what kind of message board fracas are we willing to sponsor....because by sponsoring such a mess you DO INCLUDE YOUR PUBLICATION INTO IT, Ian....

and that is just the bottom line.

I, for one, am tired of seeing flamers RUIN this board with attacks from already KNOWN ISP numbers, and you have to be seeing those numbers.

And you guys at Metropulse need to get a handle on users who are ABUSING YOU... at the expense of advertizers that might choose your company to advertise THRU...

I would truly dislike it if I were selling ads for Metropulse, and the first thing I heard from a prospective business is...

"I have READ your internet message board"....

and you guys need to THINK about this kind of thing.

REALLY.


With all due respect....SIR.

Oh you go **** yourself, Fermaggio.

I've seen flamers like you on message boards dating back to 1984 when Compuserve shipped you the unit, and the whole thing was spun at less than 9600 baud.

You STOLE part a someone's handle to start here.

You've been OBSCENE and despicable in your replies.

Little trolls like you have been in cyberspace for YEARS, dude.

You think you are doing something NEW by asking me if the 'only vagina I have ever seen is my mothers?'

You are doing NOTHING NEW AT ALL HERE.

What you have said has been done literally MILLIONS of times, over the last 20 years, on message boards from Memphis to Portland, from San Fran to Miami. What you THINK you can get away with is OLD NEWS, and these new message boards simply BAN your ISP and move on.

And when you log in from the next place? They ban that ISP as well.

You might be able to get away with it here, where apparently the powers that be let you...but the fences are closing around you,

and the options are decreasing.

You are nothing more than a pathetic flamer on this board. You stole a

part of my handle RIGHT FROM THE START....

and you defame me and slander me in every post.

You've never mounted a decent case on WHY you think I may be wrong about an issue; you have deliberately attacked me in personal ways because you THINK you are safe in cyberspace hiding. Why don't you alteast attempt to tell me WHY you think I am wrong? Because you don't have enough intellect to EXPLAIN it. So you revert to personal attacks.

Like a sick, pathetic flamer would.
