This board versus TB2000 today

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TB2K spinoff uncensored : One Thread

Having read on this board that several think the other board harbors nuts and non-intellectuals, etc., I have to tell you that it is just the opposite: while the other board is discussing CURRENT events and various other intelligent discourse, this one has deteriorated to nearly infantile and regressive, particularly cpr, in rehashing old stuff about Y2K.

Advice (you didn't ask for): grow up or close shop.

I second that. Maybe censorship does have it's uses after all? I am starting to understand why it came to be in the first place. Clearly.

Comapre:

Interesting comment. My guess is that you are talking about EZboard. Now I was just vilified for challenging a post there on current events. This includes the fact that I provided links to show that the post was wrong. No question. Indeed, others have now posted information showing that I was correct [of course, no mention of my post] So it goes on EZboard. My work takes me to the outback, so I can't stay and talk to you, but I have some serious questions about your statement.

A thesaurus is not a substitute for good sentence structure. How about an improved version?

"Some of your may think EZB harbors card-carrying members of the "lunatic fringe." Au contrare! The people on EZB are discussing current events and engaging in intelligent discourse while this forum has devolved into infantile ranting. In particular, Charles Reuben ("CPR") seems intent on continuing a pointless discussion about Y2K.

In my opinion, this forum has outlived its usefulness."

You may be right. Unfortunately, most of the prose on EZB has the same "fingernails on chalkboard" quality of your original post.

Butt out Compar. Necrophilia is fun.

Gregor, would you please post a link to the vilifying you mention on the other board? I would like to see what they said.

LET'S FACE IT, CREEPER IS MORE ANNOYING THAN A THOUSAND HEMORRHOIDS ON THE SMALLEST ASS IN THE WORLD. HIS PRESCENCE ON THIS FORUM, AS ANYWHERE, IS A DETRIMENTAL UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE AND AN EMBARRASSMENT TO HUMANITY.


-- CPR (THE.WORLD'S@BIGGEST.DEGENERATE), July 06, 2000.

off.

Isn't this forum mainly comprised of people who have been ejected by EZ board? I'm not saying this demeaningly as I also fit in this boat, but there is some truth to it, isn't there?

-- Another Reject (we@need_each.other), July 06, 2000.


I also enjoy the variety of the EZ although enjoy the format of this board..I admit to being lazy and being able to scroll thru a thread..I continue to hope to find the board I experienced in late '99 ..and continue to hope that cpr and andy will become tired of whipping a dead horse...

-- george (jones@choices.com), July 06, 2000.

naw -- no thanks. Seen EZboard and all the Art Bell/Drudge wannabees. Blowhards and back slapping isn't my cup of tea.

You say "the other board is discussing CURRENT events and various other intelligent discourse"

Butchering current events is more like it. Oh I'm sure there are a few sane discussions, but for the most part they are still spinning their agendas -- TEOTW. "How can we get this lil newsbyte to BRING IT ON".

It's called lunacy or saving face. Take your pick. Most of the "current events" that make it to this board, are quickly squashed as NORMAL events in the scheme of life.

We can blow every news story up if you like. Add a spin of TEOTW proportion! There are quite a few talents writers here. I'm sure we can come up with some fiction.

Sorry if reality bores you. We like CPR, Andy, et al, (jurys out on al-d) just fine. Most of you EZboarders come over here as chicken shits ---ooooooh scary nonames@scary.org, come to chastise us for our non-memetic ways.

Uncensored speech keeps us from becoming Cults R Us.

"Grow up or close shop" ooooohhh stop it! You're so scary.

Advice (you didn't ask for) And taken for what it's worth -- zip.

E.Z. Board requires a number, to enter. I will not, go there, except for a brief visit, number not required. I don't have to say anything.

-- Number (onyour@forehead.com), July 06, 2000.

Ken Decker: nice parody on Steve Heller.

Carlos: thanks for the tip.

Another: my impression is that several hundred have posted to TB Uncensored, which I'd have thought to be many times the number expelled from EZBoard, but I admit I haven't kept track.

Everyone who bemoans the dearth of interesting posts: why not address the problem by posting items you find interesting.

"We like CPR, Andy, et al, (jurys out on al-d) just fine."

Speak for yourself, we're fed up with them ruining this forum (not Al-D, he is a decent human being).

Hard to say. I never tried to get into EZ Board. Didn't suit my tastes.

Please kind sir, if you are going to try to impress us with your knowledge of html, have the common decency to clean up after your self.

-- TB 2000 Clean Up Crew (no@no.no), July 07, 2000.

Well well, welcome to our infantile lil wonder world, pull up a high- chair, grab a rattle and put a pacifier in your mouth. (directed to Compar I. Son)

If you really get 'opened minded' and look at the ez board, you will see how you must agree or SUCK UP to not get banned. Since this rumor/truth appeared that this board shall close up, there have appeared IMHO a few suckups over there already.

Folks I used to respect who are now acting completely different already. I wont name names, but it sure surprised the hell out of me. BTW, I was not banned from EZ, I even gotz me a password, but chose not to post there. I dont feel that all that is there are nuts, etc....but a few suckups is quite obvious.

As for me, I dont suck up so I know I wouldnt last there no time :-) call me a radical. When this board does go down, I'll still be pool hanging, but tell me something, are the plans still on for VEGAS?
