Folks:

You bitch and complain about the subject. Well here is a case. Go to large format photography. I haven't been here for a while, but everthing that Gregor has posted {and lately} everything that I have posted has been deleted. The administrator didn't like the content.

His name is Q Taun Luong. It makes Diane Squire look like a saint. Do we put up with this. No, I say, SPAM. Of course the free speach folks are going to do that; but we could help.

Best wishes,,,,

Well Z, ole Q has no fear of retribution. He not only provides detailed directions to his apartment in Menlo Park, he also has posted a map. He only lives about 23 miles from Frau Squire, must be the air. Sic em!

Do we put up with this. No, I say, SPAM.

Retaliation and revenge serve no purpose but to perpetuate negativity. Spamming is a waste of good energy especially when your browser has a "back" button and search engines can direct you to other sites more welcoming of your contributions and the free flow of ideas. Remember, "silence is the greatest form of scorn" so boycotting with your feet (or flying fingers over the keyboard, as the case may be) permits the narrow-minded site you so disdain to die a slow death by neglect and boredom when fresh ideas are no longer forthcoming. Sometimes NO action is the BEST action. It makes for a much cleaner karma.

But what do *I* know?

Ra:

I think that the "free speech" folks are now taking this very seriously. They are now calling him Chairmon Luong. They claim that they will shut the site down. I guess it is another Diane. Oh Well, it comes and goes.

Rational ( I think not !!!! ), What you just did could be construed as incitement to commit a felony. People, listen to Luna C, not dipshits like our local Sun God.

Z, shame on you.

-- Mr. Slippery (MS@slip@slide.cum), July 15, 2000.

Ra: Here is the last thread; which will also be deleted, I'm sure.

Chairman Luong: We get your message. It is all out war. OK. You don't know when we attack, but rest assured that we will. When it occurs, this site will no longer exist. Your choice, your ego. All of us at free speec

I write this with even more amusement [since the last thread was deleted; what is the number now;who knows]. It is even funnier since Gregor is out in the Arizona desert taking photographs. He doesn't know about any of this. This is leading me to believe that the administrator of this site is a character from "Dilbert". Oh well, it will be interesting to see if the site still exists when I get back across the pond. Best wishes,,,

Opps, screwed up my own fake e-mail address, but I'm new to this so please forgive.

Z--

Large format photography? Got a link? Wonder why you were deleted? Too racy? Not racy enough?

Luna--

You are so reasonable. But sometimes it's just plain fun to spam.

-- Lars (lars@indy.net), July 15, 2000.

Mr. Slappy, you wouldnt be a reincarnation of a certain King would you? Give me a break dude, felony? A felony would be more like if I were to rip your head off and shove it up your ass. Or would that be a misdemeanor?

-- Ra (tion@l.1), July 15, 2000.

That's what the vandals say when they paint their slogans and graffiti all over public property. Must give them a real ego boost, for such small egos.

-- Mr. Slippery (slip@slide.cum), July 15, 2000.

Ooo, Ra, you're such a brute. Do you always display this level of hostility? Or am I just lucky tonite?

The felony would be if someone actually did something to this guy, in real life. I wonder how your post would be presented in court?

A felony would be more like if I were to rip your head off and shove it up your ass.

And you call this rational behavior? LMAO at you.

-- Mr. Slippery (slip@slide.cum), July 15, 2000.

Lars:

It is a good site [although I have some question about the administrator; but hey I lived with Diane (so to speak).

Large Format

It is really a good site and will link you to other sites. I have an 8 x 10 Deardorff. Where are you? Otherwise, I am stuck with the ol' Hasselblad.

So why did you try to get help in closeing it down? Were your feeling hurt and you just didn't think?

-- Mr. Slippery (slip@slide.cum), July 16, 2000.

Ol'slippery [whoever in the hell you are; we folks that have been here since the beginning ask these things]:

I'm not. The free speech folks are. I have no idea who they are. They are a bunch of geeks who can do all sorts of things. OK.

Best wishes,,,,,

Slippery dude--

Good spam is a fine art and great good fun to do and to read. Bad spam is vandalism a la LL

-- Lars (lars@indy.net), July 16, 2000.

Ol'slippery [whoever in the hell you are; we folks that have been here since the beginning ask these things]:

Ol'Z, whoever you are, are you trying to say "you didn't try to gain support " here, at This Forum for a attack on someone else's forum? I don't care how long you've been around, what you are doing is wrong, and as you say, you have no Idea of who I am or how long I've been lurking.

You always end with " best wishes" I wonder if that is true?

Lars, I imagine that is what the gang-bangers say about their works of art.

-- Mr. Slippery (slip@slide.cum), July 16, 2000.

That's just about what I thought. Our Sun God makes threats and runs away . Lars and Z, I really thought better of you. At least defend your position of SPAMMING another forum. Why?

-- Mr.Slippery (slip@slide .cum), July 16, 2000.

Mr Slippery,

Haven't you ever once in your life TPed someones house? Knock and run? Played on the phone? Yes these things are childish but more fun than taking oneself sooo serious.

-- -- (Dry@scatchie.allyourfault), July 16, 2000.

Slippery,

As was stated above you must be somewhat new here or you would better appreciate the passions that are aroused by the word censorship. Z was referencing another LUSENET forum and I was commenting on the public availability of the moderator in question, Mr. Q. Many of us lived through another censorship era and as the old saying goes, you just had to be there. For the record, I too am against spamming in its true form. Complaining en masse however is a suitable means of expressing ones opinions.

Now, Ill start this fine day off by extending my apologies for MY overreaction to your post. Only my SO gets away with calling me a dipshit and that happens infrequently. So, enjoy the rest of the weekend. BTW, I do live on the beach but my handle has nada to do with the sun god Ra.
