I asked for flames since she said that, also called me petty and a liar.

yea, just read the thread. lookin` like another round of 'pit- fighting' @ tb2000 in the making.

btw: Wilfred`s last post was soooo well said. bravo!

and i am not by any means anti-christ either! [have a very strong faith, thank you]

Well, judging from the avalanche of good old oldtimers asking for the pw (Coast Watcher just asked), she can keep it up long as she wants!

Last straw for me was Jessebelle's post on another thread -- the one concerning African Catholic priests forcing nuns to have sex with them -- that repeated a vicious anti-Catholic propaganda tale about dead babies in a convent. If I had a nickel for every version of that story I've heard . . . well, I'd be able to keep EZ Board going indefinitely.

Anyway, this place looks much more my style. And lots faster to load, too, altho strantge to be back on Greenspun again. Gotta remember my paragraph codes. ;-)

Not a problem, mutter. In fact, the way I spell it is atypical of how most spell it. It was my grandfather's name; he was the original Get It.

Worse than that, now I gotta relearn HTML... :-(

Hey Brooks,

We even have a category for "Absolutely Indispensable HTML Links". . . I think most of us are going to need a quick tutorial/refresher course.

I, for one, would like to see the criticism of certain TB posters cease and for us to move on here at Currents.

I know that there is some bad blood, and I'm well aware that good people like Beckie, David W., OG, and others have been badly maligned by some TB posters. Those rude posters aren't allowed at Currents, so let's try to forget about them while we're here, okay?

We have a well-rounded group of educated, polite folks. Let's shift our focus back to discussing the news and topics that will help us all prepare for whatever lies ahead. Much appreciated!

Surely there is room in our day for a little gossip, Meemur?

LOL

-- Anonymous, March 26, 2001

a little gossip is fine, Barefoot, but I'm feeling some trashing is going on. See the other thread about Dancr. This is a trend I'd like to not see started. Obviously, this is just my opinion and a polite request.

How about if I make you some walnut fudge?

-- Anonymous, March 26, 2001

Meemur,

You are right. I have just been blasted again at TB2k and it is so nice to be able to come here and know that that won't happen.

Although I am so mad I could spit nails right now - where did you say that fudge was?? I could certainly use some.

-- Anonymous, March 26, 2001

The fudge is cooling on a table out back. There's plenty for all. Just keep an eye on Barefoot!

I read with anger the ignorant reply you had from a certain poster at TB. I think that you showed great restraint. I know that it'll be very difficult for you to forget about that thread for awhile. But I hope that you'll soon be having a more comfortable internet experience. Certainly, the posters at IC and AL are of a more positive mindset, and I expect that Currents will remain a friendly place, as well.

-- Anonymous, March 26, 2001

Walnut Fudge would be most welcome, and will shut me up until it is gone! LOL

thanks

Now, where were you being trashed, Beckie? I like to read the National Enquirer once in a while, just for the articles of course.

[I'll use restraint, I still have to go to the dentist.]

-- Anonymous, March 26, 2001

Thanks Meemur for the fudge. Barefoot, ready.... set....... GO! Ha I beat you to it! !

Yummy fudge, and ice cold milk!!

Wow, if the new standard on this board is cyber culinary bribes to keep us in line then . . . . count me in!

-- Anonymous, March 26, 2001

Brooks, I learned early on during my visits on other fora that Barefoot is best kept in check with regular portions of fudge. Without it, he can lapse into bad puns, obnoxious knock-knock jokes, and other bits of silliness best not mentioned in public in front of young, impressionable children. (Don't worry, he's loving every line of this description!)

I also make killer fudge, both virtual and real!

Meemur, mom's idea of a nutritious late evening snack for the cocker spaniels was a cracker with a glob of peanut butter. She thought the oil would help shine up their coats. They were fun to watch. The nimbler ones came back for a second helping, but the little black one would just sit there gumming it, mouth contorting every which way. Maybe that would work on Barefoot, and be less tempting for the rest of us?

-- Anonymous, March 26, 2001

Brooks, virtual fudge has no calories, zero fat, and 100% taste!

CoastWatcher,

OkyDok, I give up... "Gotta remember my paragraph codes." Whacha talkin' about?? :) I mean, I know what a paragraph code is, but how does that apply here?

Old Git,

Yuppers, I saw it. Just about knocked me off my chair, I was laughing so hard. Actually, I should probably thank her, as all that laughing, got me to coughing, which helped me to empty my bronchials of more nasty stuff, if ya know what I mean. See? Ridiculous nonsense has a bright side, too! (hee,hee)

Seriously, as most here know, I'm not a Christian (don't worry, I have complete respect for the beliefs of others here), and I found her remarks to be utterly repulsive. So glad I'm here.

Conspicuous by its absence all of a sudden in TB2000 is that formerly ubiquitous phrase, "if you can't handle getting your feelings hurt over this little tempest in a teapot, how are you going to handle WWIII/the NWO takeover/Ragnarok/etc.?"

Best Google Entry that made sense:

ragnarok is a series of gothic, medieval, ritual, dark folk, noise, industrial and electronic parties around Munich organized by Tom Talionis. ... www.ragnarok.de/

If that's what Firemouse was referring to, I suspect those were parties where one wore underwear as outterwear. If that's true, I didn't miss anything.

OMG....Ragnarok!!!! Now there's a nam I havent heard in a looong time. Part of my misspent teenage years were in a "garage band" we called Ragnarok. No lie!

Hoooo, thanks for the trip down memory lane. A nice birthday present.

Thanks, Tom! I thought that there was a connection to Norse mythology, but I was too tired to do more than feed the word into Google.

Yes, Tom's sense of Ragnarok (hi Tom).

SqrlGrl, I've been moderator of a private board on greenspun for a year, and one of the quirks of the software is that it throws the moderator's posting to the top each time unless a fake address is used. So I've done hundreds of fake addresses and have started to treat them as a minor literary form, akin to haiku in their limitations. Expect more.

-- Anonymous, March 27, 2001

Haiku! (Gezundheit.) That's what we need. Firemouse, Would you be the Haiku Tycoo and start a thread?

-- Anonymous, March 27, 2001

Er, no thanks at present, we've had some more intense stuff come out about the local Bad Guys that we need to deal with, and I'm up to my ears as it is. Cops gone bad, possible KKK and neo-Nazis, you name it, our little rural town is wallowing in it. :(

BTW Old Git, now that this is back on greenspun, since I have two other private boards on greenspun and am used to posting under my real name there, would you privately alert the other sysops that if I slip up and put my real name here, that I'm not an invader?

-- Anonymous, March 27, 2001

SqrlGrl, my paragraph codes comment refers to the need, on my machine anyway, to put a "p" in between < and > to create the space between paragraphs. Can't just hit the Return key and move on, at least on the Greenspun boards. EZBoard was no problem BTW. Yours is different?

Can I have some fudge, too, or do I have to misbehave first? (whine, snivel snivel, scuffle foot across floor with hands behind back)

-- Anonymous, March 27, 2001

That is odd, that you have to use the paragraph html.

It is automatic on greenspun if you hit the return key twice between paragraphs.

Perhaps you didn't know that? Give it a try and see if that works for you.

-- Anonymous, March 27, 2001

My html recollection is that once you try tossing any html language into a thread, you have to html format the entire thread. So, for just a vanilla rendition, no "<" "p" ">"'s required!

Like this....right?

-- Anonymous, March 27, 2001

I have used the html for italics, but never put the p in.

So, since I have had paragraphs, or at least line separation, I would say that no you don't have to.

perhpas that rule is only for certain html tags? Which ones I have no idea.

-- Anonymous, March 27, 2001

Coast Watcher, there are fresh brownies in the back, along with the start of a dinner buffet. I'll make more fudge tomorrow.
