An apology is in order.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

To the sysop that falsely accused me of being a troll in this thread http://hv.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=002OkC I would like an apology.

You're to quick to accuse and you are dead wrong.

Peg, with all due respect, this is the WRONG forum to "demand" an apology. But I wish you the best of luck in your search for it...

-- Dennis (djolson@pressenter.com), January 24, 2000.

Peg, You must lead quite an ideal life in which people formally apologize to you for each little goof, imagined or otherwise. I can't recall in all my decades ever actually asking someone for an apology. Interesting. Best of luck in getting one. What do you do when that doesn't happen?

Here comes the Popeye movie deja vu all over again....

Hold your breath, honey.

-- lisa (lisa@work.now), January 24, 2000.


Heh, whether or not you Peg are the person first thought, you most certainly have proven under this pen name to be a troll by disrupting the forum with your petty demands.

Go Sysop!!!

-- Hokie (Hokie_@hotmail.com), January 24, 2000.


Sackcloth and ashes are hard to find these days. Actually, Peg, you haven't been insulted. Misunderstood, perhaps.

The last 18 months on this forum have filed some sears down pretty fine and some here seem to have developed some hairtrigger responses. Try to moderate your sensibilities to cope with others' mistakes. None of us can say we've never made an incandescent blooper at one time or another.

Hey Peg, are you related to Hoff?

Peg, does your back get tired from dragging that cross around?

-- Thick Skin (no@pologyneeded.com), January 24, 2000.

Peg,

Get over yourself.

-- Develop (.@thicker.skin), January 24, 2000.



God forgives you and so do I.

-- john robinson (john@jironline.com), January 24, 2000.

Jay,

"...you owe me an apology...."

(musically): "Ohhhhh, Sweethaven!"

-- Dennis (djolson@pressenter.com), January 24, 2000.


She demanded an apology because they put her up to it on the bedunker bord. Go czech it out for yourself!

-- Sluggo (sluggo@your.head), January 24, 2000.

Hokie, I usually regard your posts with the utmost respect, but my respect for you just did an about face (like you care, right). You're labeling Peg a troll based on one sentence? If you thought this thread was so bad, then why in heavens did you post here? Really Hokie, I thought you were above this.

I have a 15-year old who acts more mature than most of you "adults", and I use the term loosely.

Why all this bickering, judging, dog-piling, ganging up and packing on people. If this is a sample of our society, I am very afraid.

I think everyone should read "Lord of the Flies". That is what this forum sometimes reminds me of. Or how about the Salem Witch Hunt. Sould we burn Peg at the stake?

I am sure I will be flamed for this, labeled a troll, a polly, and every other bad name you can think of. Because that's how your minds work. Or you'll tell me, "if you dont like how the forum works, youre free to leave", etc... etc... WHATEVER!

This is not a forum, it's a dictatorship. "Conform or be gone."

What if Gary North or Ed Yourdon were expelled from the country for speaking their minds and standing up to the bullies of our government and society? Or even worse, stoned to death in a public place by a bunch of citizens screaming, TROLL TROLL! That is the dangers of what you are doing and how you are "running things".

This country was began by people courageously standing up against opression and for what they believe is right. So I'll take it as a compliment.

Why, thank you!

...["This is not a forum, it's a dictatorship. "Conform or be gone."]

eh, it's not a government it's a forum

got stones?

Apologies are tendered for any implication that Peg trolled on the referenced post, even thought IP numbers and tone are uncannily similar. Now, while we're on the subject, Peg:

November 14, 1999 - I SINCERELY HOPE MIT PULLS THE FREAKEN PULG ON THOSE IDIOTS

I demand an apology on behalf of all people who have posted to this forum whom you accuse of idiocy.

December 03, 1999 - ...Stan the FREAKEN SHILL

I demand an apology on behalf of Stan whom you accuse of shilling.

October 27, 1999 - Doomer = Someone that sees it as all/even partly going away and can't cope with it mentally.

I demand an apology on behalf of all doomers whom you accuse of mental deficiency.

-- Sysop (off@duty.now), January 24, 2000.


LOL, tell it like it is, Sysop!!

I am sure I will be flamed for this, labeled a troll, a polly, and every other bad name you can think of. Because that's how your minds work. Or you'll tell me, "if you dont like how the forum works, youre free to leave", etc... etc... WHATEVER!

So, Cin, if you know everything we're going to say to you, maybe you should take the advice and hit the road.

-- (hal@gostek.org), January 24, 2000.


Cin, I'm not going to flame you. I'm going to ignore you, and Peg. You're both a waste of my time.

-- Powder (Powder47keg@aol.com), January 24, 2000.

Oh dear, now it appears that I am being deleted. I have offended the mighty Sysops? I guess you figure that sarcasm is over the heads of your readers. Pity.

But now that you are exercising the delete key, why stop there? Don't you know there is lots of stuff far more worthy of deletion in the past? Take a look at this debate with Ed from last March:

http://hv.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=000e6w

So there you have it Sysops, I told Ed in detail exactly why he was going to be wrong 10 months ago. He knew all along that fiscal years were critical, and once that was proved to be okay, the BITR scenario was a foregone conclusion. Now that doesn't look good. Break out the white-out, you folks have work to do!



-- Computer Pro (first_minister@hotmail.com), January 24, 2000.

Looks to me like you and Peg are being deleted because you are both disruptive trolls. Perhaps if you stopped disrupting, you wouldn't be deleted.

This is a half hearted apology with strings attached.

Similar...according to you. But you know I wasn't me...

So here is my half hearted apology:

My apologies to all the mentally deficient idiot shills.

Now what about all that death to the Polly's stuff...hmmmm?

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), January 24, 2000.


We're not sure about that either, Peg, as evidently you are all alive and well and endlessly (and probably unhealthily) obsessed with us.

Go do some real good and troll a forum that encourages illegal acts or something.

-- lisa (lisa@work.now), January 24, 2000.


lisa,

My obsession is being FALSELY accused of something I didn't do.

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), January 24, 2000.


Quick forum vote: is the thought as bad as the deed?

lisa,

Please tell me that you are not trying to read my thoughts?

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), January 24, 2000.


Gee, Peg, this is terrible. I bet it's really screwed your life up. Hopefully, you've got friends and family around you. Please, please, don't let this awful, sad episode turn you off humanity forever...

-- Dzog (dzog@plasticine.com), January 24, 2000.

But you know I wasn't me.

Hmmmm.....
