29 Jun 00 - 03:26 PM (#249361) Subject: Another Public Apology From: Grey Wolf If people are in the apology mode - I'll confess that it was me who caused the 'guest' prefix to be invoked. I've used a number of aliases during my time at mudcat, and I've spent most of the time offering good advice. Occasionally I get frustrated, and post overtly provocative threads - the 'americans are fat' was me too. I'm using a different name now, and I often still answer 'guest' requests that no-one else does, and spend a good deal of time on search engines picking out obscure information for people that I don't know. Judge me as you will Wolf and please stop blaming the semi-mythical gargoyle for everything |

29 Jun 00 - 03:56 PM (#249384) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: Little Neophyte Well Grey Wolf I truly thought 'why are americans fat' turned out to be a very interesting thread.

Please forgive me. Bonnie |

29 Jun 00 - 04:46 PM (#249420) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: Mrrzy A confession is, I agree with Peter T., not the same thing as an apology, but I see a lot that amounts to apologies, even it not including the words I'm Sorry. I took the opening line to be an apology to the infrastructuralists who had to do the work of getting Guest to affix in the first place, to the members whose names were taken in vain, and even to anyone who got all upset by having their expectations (of what known members might write) violated. And saying I'm going to apologize and then saying Occasionally I get frustrated, and post overtly provocative threads really is tantamount to saying I'm sorry I have shown frustration by being provoking, but maybe I just had a better day. At least Grey Wolf didn't say the incredibly annoying I'm sorry you all got so upset! And anyone who spells Gray Grey is OK with me, it's such a prettier color that way. Or should that be colour? |

29 Jun 00 - 04:59 PM (#249429) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: MudGuard Is grey/gray a colour/color or not? Black is the absence of all colors while white is the presence of all colors. So grey is in between presence and absence of all colors. So it depends on the brightness/darkness of the grey whether it is more absence or more presence of all colors... I think it is better I go to bed now before I write more nonsence eeh nonsense about colors ... MudGuard |

That's how the old catechism put it, and it sums up this kind of thing pretty well. The last being the most important.
For someone with real problems about all this, the Austrlaian Prime Minister takes some beating I believe. He's maybe going to get it too, it sounds like. |

Oh no! You know what happens in the movies when someone says something like that.
No Wolfie, you'd never make an Australian Prime Minister. When the history of Mudcat is written you'll have a chapter.
Interestingly enough "apology" originally just about means more or less explanation or even. But I reckon this one's from the heart. Otherwise why'd it ever have come to light. And I like it when mysteries get solved, and the truth unveiled. should we perhaps set up a Mudcat People's Court? Or a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

29 Jun 00 - 07:48 PM (#249513) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: bbelle I think the whole premise of this thread is very odd. A person who posts/flames under difference pseudonyms is still doing it and is apologizing. I think there's an oxymoron in there somewhere. "Seldom" have I viewed someone who is as confused as this person appears to be. Doesn't it bother you people that this person has an axe to grind, has used various aliases (including probably some of your own nicknames), and is still doing it?

I was not going to post, just lurk & learn, but I feel that I must respond to posts by Helen and my buddy, the Harpgirl. I was the original person who suggested that we not respond to Garg and that he would dry up and blow away. But, and this is an important but, it only came after he had crossed some very significant roads with regard to sensitivity. If you check back all the way, you will find that on a number of occasions I asked him, even implored him to return to his much needed role as resident curmudgeon on the Mudcat. He was brilliant and much needed in that role. He is also a wonderful resource with regard to the music which is the foundation of the house we have built here. Greg if you are still here, that is the role that I enjoyed and would love for you to fill again. I miss that and miss you on that level. But if it includes the viciousness, the attacks on others sense of self worth, and the general nastiness, then stay where you are. Big Mick |

30 Jun 00 - 03:57 PM (#249945) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: bbelle I don't think "restrained" is the word I would use, M Ted. I think "who gives a flying fuck" would be more appropriate for how I feel about this "Grey Wolf's" apology. If this person has, indeed, used a number of aliases, and has used them to the detriment of others, apologizing under yet still another alias is like blowing smoke in the wind ... it doesn't go anywhere! And, lest anyone tell me I am being uncharitable, I have every right to state my educated opinion and feelings about this. If you don't know what I'm talking about, well, I'm not going to rehash it. I will say, however, that should I ever discover who used MY name to flame others, whether it be a manifestation of this Grey Wolf or someone else, I will nail them. I'm not at all a physically violent individual, so if anyone wonders what I mean by "nail them," I will "out" them on this forum so fast they won't know what hit them. moonchild

I am glad for not being around at that time. This entire thread inspires me to write a song for solo clawhammer banjo. It will be done in "mountain minor" (Am) tuning, so as to express some of the pain and a little of the resentment, and also to capture some of the apologetic feelings. The song will be titled "Who Really Cares Anyway". It will be a three part theme as opposed to the standard two part scheme. It should evoke feelings of deep reflection and objectivity. Let it disconnect us from actual events, and reveal to us how the wind blows in some mighty strange things from time to time. Your friend, Banjobenny |

Having said that, I am truely sorry that some people felt it neccessary to leave and that some people including Moonchild did suffer because of the actions of others. Overall, Mudcat had seemed to be going through a healing period in terms of our relationships with others and it is a shame that this thread has re-opened old wounds.

I vowed many years to not be a victim and to take care of myself, which I do. "Uncharitable, mean, nasty, threatening, irresponsible" ... if you are referring to my vow to "out" the individual who assumed my identity, if I ever find out who did it ... so be it. Assuming another's identity is, in fact, a criminal act. Probably not punishable by much ... but the potential for harm to my reputation was there ... and I won't sweep it under the rug.

01 Jul 00 - 03:37 PM (#250163) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: McGrath of Harlow People make mistakes. Mistakes mean other people get hurt. The people who make the mistakes sometimes realise they made them. The way we run things here means that they can then keep quiet about it and nooone every knows it was them.
Or they can admit they made the mistakes and apologise, and hope that'll undo some of the hurt.
That's what Grey Wolf has done, and I think it's a right thing for her or him to have done.
However, the way things work out round here, one effect has been to stir up a bunch of anger and bitterness, and all the blame for the crap that other people who haven't put their hands up contributed to gets loaded onto the one who has. So maybe keeping schtum is a better thing to do, even if it's not the bravest thing to do. Which, if true, I would see as a pity.
But couldn't we lighten up? If someone had posted under my name, I'd get irritated, maybe angry - but I can't see myself bearing a grudge about it once they'd said they were sorry. Now we've got the GUEST thing it can't happen in the same way again. "Worse things happen at sea" as they say.
As for the pseudonyms, it strikes me there are very few people around here who don't prefer to use pseudonyms. I'm an oddball in that respect. If people want to have a number of different personae running in parallel, no harm in that, providing they don't act nasty. Jekyll and Hyde was/were ahead of his/their time...
There's the story about the little boy who's playing , and he's digging around at the edge of the stream at the bottom of the garden, and he starts the ground sliding away, and the khazi (as we'd call it round this way), falls into the stream.
And he keeps quiet about it - but his Dad says to him, "I'm going to ask you if you were to blame for the khazi falling in the stream - and before you answer, I'll tell you a story". And he tells him about George Washington and the Cherry Tree, and how George Washington's father was so proud to have such a brave and honest son.
And the son says "I understand Dad - and like George Washington, I cannot tell a lie. I was digging by the stream, and it was my fault that the khazi fell in."
And his Dad grabs him, and gives him a walloping. "But why did you do that? George Washington's father was pleased with his son for telling the truth when he cut down the Cherry Tree."
And Dad explained "Well, you see son, the thing is, George Washington's father wasn't sitting up in the branches of the Cherry Tree..."

01 Jul 00 - 04:04 PM (#250181) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: Mrrzy Oh, moonchild, I was afraid of this. What I meant was that yes you have a right to express your opinion, even meanly (my opinion of the phrasing of your post). You WERE threatening, which is also against the law. It's called Assault. But so what? You're entitled, you were victimized (I am not arguing with your definition of being a victim, I consider you to have been a victim of a practical joke), I just don't think it's wise. Refusing to accept someone's apology is pretty much a definition of uncharitable - your word, which I merely repeated. But what I said was that you were BEING uncharitable, not that you WERE uncharitable. That was my opinion, unchanged by your being so upset about my using your words against you. I am sorry that what I said upset you. Notice I don't say I'm sorry that you got upset! Now that would be uncharitable, and also obnoxious, annoying, and pretty much guaranteed to really upset you.

01 Jul 00 - 07:55 PM (#250300) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: bbelle Yes, "Guest," you are absolutely correct ... I am quite unpleasant, but you didn't really need to point that out ... I've already admitted to it ... so your words are just another exercise in redundancy. And, to show my innate unpleasantness, please do not put quotes around my name. It's moonchild ... plain and simple ... no quotes and no capital letters. Does it give you infinite pleasure to know that your assessment of me was spot on? Thought so ... but at least I have the courage (or stupidity ... take your pick) to sign my posts and not hide behind the GUEST shield ... moonchild |

01 Jul 00 - 08:59 PM (#250333) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: Sailor Dan Dear Moonchild; This is from another individual that also has a big damn brick on his shoulder. I have lived with this brick for probably twice as many years as you are old. Please take some advice. All this brick does is make one shoulder lower then the other. You do have a right to be angry, you do have the right to be totally pissed off. NO one can take that right from you. Greywolf or whatever his name or personage is, and the personage appears to be low life, is not worth the anger and frustration of your getting upset and losing your cool. I have read many of your threads in the past and in some cases have agreed with you and in other cases I have not. But that is my right as well as it is yours. Your overall remarks in the past on other threads do not indicate that you are as rotten and nasty as your last post to this , Apparently something has crossed the hairs on your butt and you are angry. RElax Moonchild, you have friends and backers, besides, getting to this point with an idiot who has ruined the names of others by posting unsavory items in there names is not worth getting excited about. Cool down child of the moon, the damn brick gets heavier as the days were on. Your too nice to carry the brick. There definately is a much nicer side to you. Wanna go sailin??? Sailor Dan |

01 Jul 00 - 10:34 PM (#250391) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: bbelle Sailor Dan ... you are probably a nice person but I don't need to be humoured. This is cyberspace and we can be nice when, in fact, we aren't at all. We can be lots of things, when, in fact, we are none of them at all. I have never been anyone other than myself on this forum ... I am intense and direct and honest, in my feelings and in my dealings with people. I apologize when I'm wrong but, when I make a stand, I don't back down. I ALWAYS sign my name or my nickname. I don't engage in gratuitous pandering. I don't belong to cliques and have no desire to do HearMe and I have been called a loner. Your assessment of my character is: uncharitable, mean, nasty, opinionated, threatening, obnoxious, unpleasant, and annoying ... because I expressed my opinion and anger ... without ever having spent one real life minute with me. You presume to know from where my anger stems, instead of simply accepting the fact that I am angry. You presume that I am carrying around "baggage," ... and presume to know what the baggage is ... when, in fact, you don't know that all. But this is the Emerald City and we've all traveled the Yellow Brick Road to get here. And in the Land of Oz there is no deceit or deception ... my mistake moonchild

GO FOR IT.ljc. |

02 Jul 00 - 05:34 PM (#250689) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: Sailor Dan Moonchild, I was not trying to humour you. I was trying to state a tactful fact. But go back to your dictionary, you left out a few descriptive words regarding my assement of your character. I am sure that you could do much better if your really tried to. AS far as your baggage is concerned I have no idea what it is and to be damn truthful with you, I really dont give a damn. But your postings here and other threads do indicate you DO have baggage and you are spreading it all over the cat. AS I made a suggestion to you in another thread, try me on a PM and tell me how you really feel. I would be more then happy to read it and answer it. And one more thing, DO NOT EVER THINK "YOU" are the only one who might have baggage. You still have to learn the meaning of L-I-F-E. There is an OOOLLDD saying, I cried because I had no shoes, until I looked around a saw a man who had no feet. LOOK AROUND MOONCHILD, Sailor Dan

02 Jul 00 - 09:44 PM (#250780) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: GUEST,Camisu This is truly interesting. I have never been real good at chats because most people are on under nicknames (or pseudonyms as it were) and I'm not entirely comfortable with talking to people I can't see and don't know. But I use my own name--as witnessed by the fact that my daughter had no problem recognising that I was finally on mudcat! Moonchild, it's not that you have no character, you are a character! Or as I've heard myself referred to, you are a rig, or a piece of work. I take it as a compliment. Honest, outspoken, yes. These don't seem to me to be flaws. I truly can't imagine using someone elses name for any reason, I happen to like my own, and if my opinion isn't worth attaching that name to, it isn't worth stating. Now, on another track, it seems that many of you know each other off the web as well and have sings? How does one find out about these? No one came by Story Grove to announce themselves, tho' as far as I know the only Mudcats there besides us were in their record tent, hopefully being very busy. |

I'll try to do better in the future but alas, will probably always be suckered into the vortex. Kiss me Moon, you mad fool............. Spaw |

02 Jul 00 - 10:10 PM (#250791) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: harpgirl ...speaking of aliases moonbaby...did you get that Ebbie is a 64 year old woman who left home at 17 and was Amish living in Oregon? but heck she plays for dances and lives in a museum/house in Alaska! I wonder if that is Selden too? |

02 Jul 00 - 10:17 PM (#250793) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: bbelle harpgirl ... you're a close friend but please don't go there ... I don't find the humour in it and I have no more fight left in me. There is a huge Amish population in Oregon and it's not at all unusual for someone to be living in a museum/house in Alaska. Also, leaving an Amish home at age 17 wouldn't be unusual either ... moonchild |

03 Jul 00 - 12:23 AM (#250865) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: Ebbie Nope. 'Tis I, indeed it is. I am a 64-year-old woman born into an Amish family, ultimately leaving home at the age of 17 (frankly, I don't remember giving that information. Is that the FBI at work again?) play for dances, live in a house museum... What else? Love music, food, animals and all well-meaning people. In a bleak kind of way this is fun. (Thanks, moonchild, for staying true to yourself.) Ebbie |

03 Jul 00 - 10:51 PM (#251397) Subject: RE: Another Public Apology From: Rick Fielding Not to mess with the intensity of this thread, but one of the reasons that we so rarely get official apologies from Governments, politicians, Medical Practioners, or even convicted felons with guilty conciences, is that thousands of lawyers are lying in wait, ready to launch lawsuits..... and then use that apology as their main body of evidence.
