Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: The Shambles Date: 07 Jul 06 - 10:56 AM It's still not a thread about music even though music is mentioned. It was a thread about another forum (which should be discussed on that forum) but now I see it's going to be another censorship thread. Piffle. This thread was as music related, if not more so, than many threads which remain on the music related section. And it became 'another censorship thread' the moment the first post appeared passing judgement and demanding that some form of editing action be imposed upon it. And certainly from the moment that imposed editing action was taken to relgate it to the BS section as a response to these usual posters sticking their noses in to matters that do not concern them and feeling they have some right to post only to call others names. If censorship is thought to be such a good idea - perhaps these are the posts (from the usual suspects) which should be censored? If any thread is not to your taste - then ignore it and let it die. Please don't encourage the idea that some posters have the right to deny other posters of their right to decide for themselves where their threads are posted and whether they wish to post or not. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Lizzie Cornish Date: 07 Jul 06 - 09:21 AM I second that. It's way past time this thread was closed. And as I started the thread with nothing but helpful discussion in mind, could I please ask Joe or Max to now close it. Lizzie |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST Date: 07 Jul 06 - 09:17 AM Can we please stop posting to this thread or would someone close it or delete it before Mudcat needs an addtional RAID array to store it? |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: JamesHenry Date: 07 Jul 06 - 08:44 AM Why not transfer the whole thread to the "Substitute for shite" thread? |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Paco Rabanne Date: 07 Jul 06 - 07:59 AM fRoots is a respected music magazine with a circulation of 12,000copies. It is tangible, real and informative. Mudcat isn't! |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: The Shambles Date: 07 Jul 06 - 07:30 AM Bill D said. I made a mistake opening this...and am probably making another posting THIS. *Smiles* What was that definition of madness you have posted (more than once)? Something about repeating the same actions and expecting different results... For what it is worth - we are in total agreement for once. You did make a mistake and you are making another - and not for the first time. Or I suspect - the last. This does sum up much of the pompous territorial hypocrisy that is so sadly well demonstrated in this thread. Perhaps it can finally be accepted that If such a thread as this or any other was not in order on our forum - it would have died long ago and not reached as many posts as these threads do. If these threads are only popular by the virtue of so many just posting their judgement of it and individual posters - it follows that their problem (if it is one) can be easily solved by them just ignoring it and not repeating - what they consider is the mistake of posting to it........... It remains a music related thread and should be moved back to where the originator placed it. Any conversations about moving it should be only with the thread's orginator and any other poster told to mind their own business and no form of editing action taken withour first privately contacting the thread's originator. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST,Folk Lover Date: 07 Jul 06 - 04:15 AM Said well Blowzabella. Get a life you people. Is fRoots so important that it needs this? Go over there and discuss it why don't you. Whoever Lizzie is, from reading most of the posts on here I come out with the idea that she's obviously upset some people. On looking at their behaviour and how they express themselves, I'd like to shake her hand sometime. Lizzie at least brings a smile. Concentrate on more important things this world has enough spite in it as it is. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Blowzabella Date: 07 Jul 06 - 03:48 AM No offence intended to anyone on this thread but, you people obviously aren't busy enough..... Be thankful that you have the time to argue and snipe on here and don't have real problems in your lives....none of this matters one fig in real terms. sorry.... |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: The Borchester Echo Date: 07 Jul 06 - 02:13 AM As far as the crucial one about being as courteous and polite as the circumstances call for, yes I do apply it. As for the principle of actually reading and being aware of all aforegoing references (so obvious to all but those whose inital free month's AOL subscription has not yet elapsed that DG omits even mention it), the current string of anonymous, hooded gatecrashers really ought to speedread through the contextual relevance of Rottweilers, heavyweight boxers, short-tempered bikers and spraypainters, then engage brain before committing fingers to keyboard. If only to avoid making arses of themselves. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST Date: 06 Jul 06 - 11:16 PM Seems the Countess is quite expert at applying the "Golden Rule" of netiquette to everyone but herself. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 06 Jul 06 - 10:00 PM Hi! I don't have shit to say, but sIx said we should come over to this thread and "post anything, anything at all ... doesn't have to mean anything ... it doesn't matter at all ...." So, I'm doing it. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 09:05 PM Peace ... regarding the thread about your late French Canadian uncle's horse .... initially into the reading I thought it was about an old hore (trollop) he kept out in the country. Any which you you read into it ... pretty good story! sIx |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Lizzie Cornish Date: 06 Jul 06 - 06:48 PM Right then...I've had a FAR happier evening than all of you it seems. John Tams was BRILLIANT!! Just to refresh some memories though...this is my original message: "Hi Guys! Someone mentioned to me today, that over on the fRoots board, Ian Anderson has started a thread asking for people's opinions on why, despite seemingly to have a large amount of registered people, very few of them actually post on there. Now....I WOULD pop over and tell him why it's so quiet, but.....he banned me! ;0) So...WHY do YOU think his board is so quiet? Here's the original thread from over there: http://froots.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1492 I may tell you why his board (imo) is *so* quiet a bit later on! ;0) Lizzie :0)" After that it basically went downhill rapidly....er..Message 2, I believe, started it....BUT....it wasn't taken off thread or turned into a 'flame war' by me. I merely answered The Twits back. I am at liberty to do that. I think message 5 mentioned 'trolls' and then it all went downhill from there. I'd take it up with the guys who *really* started it Maggie....and then....I suggest you go marry *them*.... ;0) Right, I'm away to remember John Tams singing underneath the stars tonight.........World Music in Otterton. Excellent! Hey Maggie! Gobble yourself up with jealousy over this then! ENGLISH World Music! THE DEMON BARBERS: http://www.myspace.com/thedemonbarbers You *can* talk about them on the fRoots board.....FANTASTIC! |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: The Borchester Echo Date: 06 Jul 06 - 06:39 PM But that's not nearly such a good Tory . . . |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Peace Date: 06 Jul 06 - 06:34 PM AHEM. That should read "My French Canadian uncle (now dead) had an old HORSE he kept out in the country." What a difference an ess makes. hit. Orry about crewing up. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Peace Date: 06 Jul 06 - 06:22 PM And speaking of looking different: My French Canadian uncle (now dead) had an old hore he kept out in the country. Well, an American drove by and affered him $10,000 cash for it. My uncle replied, "No. I don' sell that horse. She don' look so good." The American replied, "Make it $20,000." My uncle said, "I can' do that. She don' look so good." The American offered $30,000 with the words, "This is my last bid." My uncle thought for a few minutes and said, "OK, but she don' look so good." The American loaded the horse in his trailer and drove off. Next day my uncle received a phone call from him. He was furious. His words? "You sonuvabitch, the horse you sold me is blind." My uncle said, "That's what I said. That horse don' look so good!" |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: The Borchester Echo Date: 06 Jul 06 - 05:41 PM Guest 05.31 Oh sorry, should have realised you don't know how to click links yet: Dick Gaughan wrote: "The Golden Rule of Usenet is to remember at all times that the person on the other side of your monitor screen is a human being. Do not say anything to anyone on a newsgroup that you would be afraid to say directly to their face if they were a 6'6 240lbs ex-professional heavyweight boxer carrying a baseball bat and accompanied by three unmuzzled Rottweilers and a posse of very short-tempered bikers. You never know, they might be - and they might live just round the corner from you. Get the idea? So be as courteous and polite as the circumstances call for. Be aware that your anonymity is not quite as secure as you might think it is. On Usenet you can run - but you can't hide. If you post to newsgroups, anyone with a bit of technical clue can normally discover your identity - and quite a lot about you - without too much difficulty. Many naive unsuspecting souls have amused themselves by being offensive and foul-mouthed on newsgroups, posting using a throwaway mail address on something like Hotmail, feeling secure in the knowledge that nobody could know their identity and so nobody could seek retribution - only to be completely dumbfounded and quite shocked when retribution knocked at their front door. Also be aware that your words of wisdom are archived in several places and can be accessed and read by anyone at any time, even several years later. So do not post anything to a newsgroup you would not wish to see spraypainted on a wall in the main street of your home town. Any words posted to a newsgroup can come back to haunt you at any time." Take them to heart. Just a suggestion. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 05:39 PM Yes MM I am short of change on the I-70 clue ... but will dig out my old AAA book on the USA and take a look. Good website that is. sIx |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST Date: 06 Jul 06 - 05:31 PM Oh thanks, Countess. I stand corrected. You are just Dick and Ian's bitch, then? And I apologize for those who don't know how to spell your name properly. Not to mention, still not knowing why the fuck anyone would consult Dick Gaughan about a dirty little thread in a random music forum? |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: The Borchester Echo Date: 06 Jul 06 - 05:23 PM Guest 05.18 with the serious comprehension problem and suffering the delusion that IAA and DG are celebs: Wasn't me that brought the Rottweiler in. But I can spell it. And I've got a good idea what to do with it. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST Date: 06 Jul 06 - 05:18 PM Oh Countess, you celebrity worshipping name dropper you. Why the fuck would anyone want to "take this up" with Ian Anderson or Dick Gaughan? Seems there are two unhinged English ladies here who are absolutely impervious to criticism. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST,Maggie May Date: 06 Jul 06 - 05:00 PM I-70 was the clue, sIx, but apparently you were short some change for that one. Not to worry. I know where Chuck's been. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: The Borchester Echo Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:57 PM You do not seem to be anywhere near to getting the hang of how to behave on the internet, do you? I recommend taking this up with Dick Gaughan and see where it gets you. Here is his Absolute Beginner's Guide To Usenet, from which you will learn that a ROTTWEILER is a large German dog (from Rott Village, natch). Among other items, you usually need three of these (sans muzzles) to see off trolls who imagined they were unidentifiable online. For some reason though, an anglo player (had to be one of those) has suggested that in my case, I don't actually need them. Pays to read the whole thread or you'll never get what's going on. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:55 PM Sorry Maggie ..... but you should have communicated what you meant by racing ... racing on foot, racing on bikes, or racing in a motorized vehicle as you assumed would be understood. Anway ... Heston can't 'race' either which way .. as I know for a fact. sIx |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:41 PM "In other news, Nugent, Heston, Cheney last seen racing down I-70." ... can't be true ... Heston certainly can't run, he can hardly walk, I know that for a fact ... and as for Cheney, I'm sure he certainly can't run. sIx |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST,Maggie May Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:34 PM Yes Rain Dog, that's brilliant. I'm sure everyone knows what exactly a banana's better nature is, yes? Now for something totally different. Breaking News from The Fark, as odd as this thread. --In an effort to calm everyone down, Taiwan is going to test fire a missle capable of hitting China. --Florida's new funeral protest law is about to face its first challenge from you-know-who. Glad to see so many bigots standing up for civil rights for a change, aren't you? --New Zealand rugby team reduced to tears over Aussie ad depicting them carrying purses. --Oil prices at record high due to... *shakes magic eight ball*... Korean missile tests. --Indiana now offering lifetime handgun permits. In other news, Nugent, Heston, Cheney last seen racing down I-70. And let this last one act as a cautionary tale to Countess Rottweiller: --Man who got Jeep stuck at campsite, then pelted campers with rocks after they refused to help, pretty darn surprised when campers hit him in the face with an axe and break a rifle over his head. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Rain Dog Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:21 PM Question from the top of my head .... how can a banana change a lightbulb?? By appealing to it's better nature ? |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:19 PM Question from the top of my head .... how can a banana change a lightbulb?? sIx |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:17 PM Yup. Like reading a trashy novel at the beach. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST,off the top of my head Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:16 PM How many fRoots does it take to change a lightbulb? Two, just as long as they're both bananas. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Wesley S Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:16 PM How many bluegrass musicians does it take to change a lightbulb ? One to change the bulb and six to say that Bill Monroe didn't need electricity. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:13 PM My point is Guest .... Life is a minestrone Served up with parmesan cheese" Which is .... well, it is what it is ... just like this thread. sIx |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:07 PM Clinton, you could also have added we should have world peace and end world hunger. Manana, dude. Yes, sIx, that's the spirit. Everyone contributing to this thread is guilty of playing the dirty linen, ambulance chasing, let's run along and watch the train wreck game. Including yourself. So your point is? Jon, I think a lightbulb joke would be as welcome as any other lightweight fare here. |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:07 PM Hope ya score some tickets Rain Dog ... I certainly wouldn't want to miss that one. sIx |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Rain Dog Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:05 PM Ah yes it was 200. Now I can get back to worrying about getting tickets for some of the Tom Waits gigs when he tours the US in August. |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Rain Dog Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:03 PM 200 ? |

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: number 6 Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:02 PM You dont really need to find out whats going on You dont really want to know just how far its gone Just leave well enough alone Eat your dirty laundry Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre up Kick em when theyre down Kick em when theyre stiff Kick em all around Dirty little secrets Dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie We love to cut you down to size We love dirty laundry ...

Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST,Jon Date: 06 Jul 06 - 04:00 PM Apparently you don't like to see your fellow citizens ridiculed, and I can't blame you. I'm not sure where you get all this national business from. It is not an issue to me in this thread. So why not lighten up just a bit OK, how's about lightbulb jokes? |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: Clinton Hammond Date: 06 Jul 06 - 03:54 PM Mudcat is not the place to air the "dirty linen" of other forums... Or indeed, even its own..... Ya got a beef, take it to PMs..... |
|
Subject: RE: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post? From: GUEST,Maggie May Date: 06 Jul 06 - 03:47 PM Well Jon, I do have some compassion and empathy for you. Apparently you don't like to see your fellow citizens ridiculed, and I can't blame you. We've all been there, though. Been the butt of jokes and slagging (that is what you Brits call it, isn't it?) But what control have you over it? None. So why not lighten up just a bit, and stop the hand wringing? If this sort of thing bothers you so much, you probably should stop peeking in on the thread, and just ignore it. It is pointless to come into active threads like this and say, in essence, "I think this sort of thing is mean spirited, and you should all stop it right now." I mean, c'mon Jon. Don't you see how net nanny sounding that is? |
