Hey, I am SO CONFUSED! How come you can talk about someone's sister killing their father, say masterbation, and sexual perversion and that does NOT constitute egregious use of a board, but the words: moron, goon and loser do?

On that OTHER board, that's what they say and now I am SO CONFUSED!

It was the personal attacks that were annoying the adults,CPR.

For example, you use personal attacks to degrade, maginalize, and dismiss the opposition; kinda like Stalin and Hitler.(He kept list too.) But luckily, your rants have little consequence, so they're more of a curiosity.

I am NOT CPR,though I have been lurking for a while on both forums and know of whom you are speaking.Seriously,since when did MORON , LOSER, and GOONS become "foul language".I didn't use nazi, or them other "fightin'" words that provoked that LOUD debate over there and their words are STILL there...mine are (snif) gone, just a memory.

Are only the articulate penalized?

Good Grief! The schmuck is back and being welcomed with open arms! And by their "head" christian no less. All Right! Christians must LOVE nazis, masterbaters and patricide by siblings. He didn't even apologize and now they are all making kissy face and pretending it didn't happen.

Judge,"Well she ASKED for it by wearing that mini skirt!" Victim, "HE RAPED ME!" Judge, "Well, next time just relax and enjoy it honey. You complain about it one more time and I'll remove you from this courtroom!"

What a forum theey've got over there, huh?

KOFE: GET A CLUE TODAY!!!!

This is the *INTERNET* not your dining room table chit chat. Love it or leave it.

-- cpr (buytexas@swbell.net), July 27, 2000.

The reason you can't post over there is because you are a MORON calling inteligent people MORONs! MORONS are not allowed! Once you lern to take your medicine an apologize you MIGHT be allowed to lick mine furers boots!

-- (No@Charge.con), July 27, 2000.

No DUM-DUM, the reason I don't post over there is because I couldn't possibly clean my keyboard off enough after it gets so close to such a SLIME PIT.

PLUS THE FACT THAT FOR OVER 2 YEARS, WE HELPED PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH BULL SHIT WAS BEING DISTRIBUTED FROM EZ-SLEEZE AND TB FIRST. EXPOSING YOUR-DONE-TOAST-ED WAS PART OF THAT.

"Argue the facts. Don't denigrate the person...."

I lifted this from another thread on this forum, but I agree with it. IMO, topics shouldn't be censored. I don't think that people discussing those topics should be censored either, but I DO think it says a lot about the person posting if they can't contain themselves to the topic at hand without resorting to disparaging remarks on the persons involved in the discussion. Folks can disagree, and folks DO disagree, and folks disagree VEHEMENTLY at times. I'd much rather have a discussion with folks who disagree at an adult level. This means that I choose to ignore the folks who can't control their 2nd-grade impulses to call folks MORONS. This means that I choose to ignore the poster who uses Patricia's name in his handle. There's no difference between the two, in my mind.

I choose not to go to EZBOARD because the majority of posters there are of a different mindset than I. I don't attend Klan meetings for the same reason.

I disagree with Charlie on many things. But I'm sure of one thing about him: I have no desire to meet him in real life because he hasn't demonstrated that he has any self-control. I disagree with KoFE on many things...probably EVERYTHING. He/she doesn't need to see me frothing at the mouth to SEE this disagreement. He/she isn't going to convert ME, and I'm not going to convert him/her. IMO, adults should ACT like adults.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), July 27, 2000.

Y2k PRO had the right answers for you Anita and I suppose he had no "control" either.

I have no reason to allow some of the people who post here and most of those who post to SleezE the same status as I would give to most of the people I associate with in business or socially. PERIOD.

If that is being a snob, so be it. They are NOT WORTHY. The plethora of BS that poured out before and after 1/1/2000 ranging from the "conspiracy theory of the day" to the "14 days of prepping for Big Bucks" to "the Pollies will be repsonsible for the deaths of those who do not prepare" NEGATE ANY REASON TO EVEN BE "NICE" to them.

It is as simple as that. They are NOT worthy of my wasting time preparing a "Flintesque" lengthy response only to see it go to waste by some slob like Hawk or "Mr. Slippery" posting his/her words of "wisdom". In short, waste of time.

I don't need any "self control" to deal with the assorted flakes and crackpots left over from the Doom Side of Y2k. Since the beginning, North and his allies have *demanded* that WE debate on their terms.

That was a suckers bet. We did and for the longest time we lost. Then when we started using the BIFFY /Doc Paulie Tactics it became obvious that the only way to answer these *propagandists* was to humiliate them by making fun of them.

-- cpr (buytexas@swbell.net), July 27, 2000.

cpr--

You say you don't post at EZ. Good for you. But you do go there and then cross-post some of their stuff here. Why? There is there; here is here. Anyone here can go there and read and most can post there. Personally I have no interest in going there but some pretty intelligent people do (such as Eve and Z).

But you have a morbid interest in the most bizarre stuff there and then you feel obliged to bring it back here. Again, why? You remind me of a cat that gratuitously kills a bird and brings it home to dump at its master's feet. Do you seek our approval?

Charlie:

Let's dissect these statements.

"Y2k PRO had the right answers for you Anita and I suppose he had no "control" either."

I've always had a great deal of respect for Y2kPro, and I still do. He provided information on TB2000 that was ignored by most, but it was presented thoughtfully and logically.

"I have no reason to allow some of the people who post here and most of those who post to SleezE the same status as I would give to most of the people I associate with in business or socially. PERIOD."

Just because you have no reason to give people status equivalent to those with whom you associate IRL doesn't mean that you must resort to 2nd grade rhetoric with them. Does respect REQUIRE a reason?

"If that is being a snob, so be it. They are NOT WORTHY. The plethora of BS that poured out before and after 1/1/2000 ranging from the "conspiracy theory of the day" to the "14 days of prepping for Big Bucks" to "the Pollies will be repsonsible for the deaths of those who do not prepare" NEGATE ANY REASON TO EVEN BE "NICE" to them."

Personally, I ignore folks who aren't worthy of my time. YOU, however, spend a GREAT deal of time on folks who aren't WORTHY of your time. Where's the logic here? I don't buy this excuse. IMO, you WANT a scapegoat. You want SOMEBODY to kick with your rhetoric. You want to blow up the whole Y2k thing as though you, yourself were personally affected by the words of others, simply because you CHOSE it as your personal crusade. No one forced you into this role you played. You did it by choice. The folks who spent money on preparations they didn't need, or the firms who spent money on independent validation aren't bitching. They've all moved on with their lives and their businesses.

"It is as simple as that. They are NOT worthy of my wasting time preparing a "Flintesque" lengthy response only to see it go to waste by some slob like Hawk or "Mr. Slippery" posting his/her words of "wisdom". In short, waste of time."

Again, it seems that YOU'RE the one wasting time. Move on, for God's sake. Life's too short to concentrate on one subject until it consumes your mind and replaces the other priorities of life.

"I don't need any "self control" to deal with the assorted flakes and crackpots left over from the Doom Side of Y2k. Since the beginning, North and his allies have *demanded* that WE debate on their terms."

If you really believe that the posters on THIS forum consist of flakes and crackpots left over from the Doom Side of Y2k, why are you bothering to interface with them at all? Y2k was over a long time ago. Don't you have anything better to do?

"That was a suckers bet. We did and for the longest time we lost. Then when we started using the BIFFY /Doc Paulie Tactics it became obvious that the only way to answer these *propagandists* was to humiliate them by making fun of them."

Personally, I don't think people EVER learn by humiliation. As soon as you throw out that first barb, you've lost your audience, as well as any respect. Who takes advice from people they don't respect? *I* don't.

I think you're fooling yourself, Charlie. I think you enjoy demeaning people, making fun of people, and I don't think you realize how others see you when you do this.

Lars:

I am home for a few days. Thanks for the thought. What you said about eve is true. I actually posted there in the olden times. It is where I could discuss this stuff with Ed. When it became clear that I wouldn't agree [my interpretation], all of my new posts vanished. After that, I quit posting there. In theory, I can still post there. I have had no reason to test the theory.

Hope things are good in Indiana.

Best wishes,,,,

"Y2k was over a long time ago. Don't you [CPR] have anything better to do? "

No, he doesn't. You're wasting your time trying to reason with him, just as you can't reason with people who are still in their "Y2K bunkers" waiting for the end of the world. As many people have pointed out already, CPR just can't let go of his imaginary "15 minutes of fame" and go back to being the nonentity that he (in actuality) always was and always will be. He just can't face that reality.
