Roger if you honestly believe your own crap, wouldn't this be an urgent enough concern to PM MAX immediately?

Why is there the assumption that I have not contacted Max?

You have been asked repeatedly if you have contacted Max. If you have contacted Max, why is this still being carried out in numerous threads?

Well in that case, HAVE YOU, or HAVEN'T YOU? It would help us to judge the strength of your argument if we knew the answer.

Roger, this has been going on for ever, and from the tone of the responses you receive, it's time to put up, or shut up; preferably the latter, as you seem to be a lone complainant, in an otherwise satisfied community.

I'm sorry mate, but this constant drip, drip, drip brings out the worst in me too.

Moo....I love ya' Man.......But bekieve me I would say what I have and more if Shambles were next to me in bar. I would take it for awhile but there comes a point when you call a fool a fool and frankly Roger passed that point some years ago. This whole act he puts on now is just total BS. I would say MORE to him here but it takes too much typing and is a total waste of time and bandwidth....as are his postings. So if the question is would I take this crap from him in person the answer is no. ... Not in a New York minute!

I'm really enjoying the laughs he can get here by using the same tired sstuff over and over and a few phrases are just too much. DOes he think we will roll over his way if he repeats himself ad nauseum. I really like the way he praises Max as if he cares......."the forum Max has 'generously' provided. Yeah......Thanks Max but most websites like this one have forums, Then there is "we who Max has invited to post." Were there engraved invitations? I guess he is so deferential to Max that he wouldn't want to trouble him by complaining but would prefer to ramble on here. ANd of course no matter how many times it's explained, he doesn't seem to comprehend that the Clones are not volunteers and on the net most mods are anonymous for obvious reasons......and if they are not......The site owner wants to have final say and not get into these type of discussions about his moderators. If I have a problem with something a clone has done it makes more sense to contact Max.

Roger, feel free to PM Max at any time. Everyone seems to be on the bandwagon and wants you to talk to Max........what's holding you up? Bandits?

Have some courage of your convictions and prove you're not just a big windbag.

Susan -

You - I know from past experience are not aware of what it is - but there is a difference between a public debate on a discussion forum intended for that very purpose and any form of personal correspondence.

Most of us do know and respect this difference and would not place any personal correspondence on a public forum and would not make themselves look foolish by making any public demands for anyone else to do this.

Of course I am aware of the distinction. Only in your case-- which you have made unique in the annals of Mudcat-- do people ask you about this. Your past posts have indicated you prefer this public attack to the requested private approach or the Help Forum approach.

It's you who make yourself foolish in front of the community.

You like to "defend" the Mudcat you know and love. Yours is not the only view of Mudcat, nor the only one worth "defending." You violate my sense of what Mudcat's finest is, on a regular basis.

You also refuse to follow established procedure as laid down by the site owner. You coat all this will your "right to free speech" or some such clap-trap.

You are posting on a private site. You have no rights. Period.

Little Hawk and MMario have the proper insight with regards to this thread - particulary "you are posting on a private site

2. My head is still hurting

I do, however, regret the hint of rudeness that has crept into the thread. If we must have the debate let's maintain some decorum and respect. Folks wouldn't say some of the things they say here to the person sitting next to them in a bar for fear of a punch on the nose, so no need for it here either.

The attempt to return to reasonable debate was welcome but you and I must frequent different pubs than some of my friends here do.....

There used to be no need for such things here - but not too surprisingly given the circumstances - there sadly does now seem to be a need.

Yes - Hang the witch!

This thread does well demonstrate the problem but there are very few real attempts to find a solution. Perhaps this 'combat and chaos' is now the new 'rock and roll' that our forum must now get used to?

Geeziz Kendall......Is that something you Maine folk have experience at? I mean I've never stirred a turd myself but I'm willing to take your word for it! I suppose it has something to do with the weather. Not much to do in the cold winter so y'all stir a turd every now and again huh? Well to each his own I say!

Sins, don't make me go! It was YOU I was worried about! Did they make you do that when you moved there? Is it some kind of downeast initiation procedure? Stir a turd for Maine or something? Was it gruesome? Come to think of it, does Bush stir turds in Kennebunkport? Or does he just spin Junior and Jeb a few times for the same effect?

So many questions................

Turd analogies are just so preposterous......I love 'em!

Back in the mid 70's Ted Turner took a new 12 Meter out for testing name Mariner. This was one of the ugliest Twelves ever built and as is so often true, beauty is speed and ugly is slow and Mariner was dog slow. It had a fair bow but the stern was cutoff square with a trasom alost 90 degrees to the waterline. The designer went into long explanations about the design and how it would just take a little work to get it up to speed.

Turner put in a lot of work and the thing just got slower. Turner went off on the designer and the boat screaming at a press conference that, "Even a turd is tapered at both ends!"

Maine turd stirring practices:-

One starts with dog turds, plentiful and easy to obtain, especially when you are the proud owner of a 90lb yellow lab. This way, if you get it wrong you aren't messing up a good'un.

Once you've got the practice you can go on to woodchuck, chipmunk or skunk. The real prize is to find the moose turds, much prized for their use in pies, second only to blueberry pie in this part of the world.

One has to be able to describe, in as few words as possible, the odour resulting from the stirring process and to grade on a scale of 1 - 10, the extent to which such movement increases the aroma.

If you come and visit we'll take you out to practice the art.
