BS: Copy Cat threads....??

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Wolfgang Date: 24 Mar 06 - 11:35 AM Why would you think this? (Shambles) Because here Bert does not follow himself what he preaches to others. I consider this an exception, for usually he is very consistent in his posting. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 24 Mar 06 - 11:39 AM Dammit! Somebody refreshed Spaw's "Non-Non-posting of judgements week" thread so there's a copycat thread on the board now! Sorry, that means all bonuses are cancelled. Please resume normal levels of bitching, pissing and moaning. |

I consider this an exception, for usually he is very consistent in his posting. Wolfgang We could of course always expect you to be just as concerned and critical in your posting of anyone else who you judged as was equally as hypocritical or fell short of the high standard of forum conduct that you expect to be demonstrated from Bert? It is not that there is currently on our forum a lack of far worse examples than Bert - is there? And as you accept that in Bert's case it was an exception - perhaps you will accept that your judgement in this case has served little or no useful purpose? |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: jacqui.c Date: 24 Mar 06 - 12:19 PM I agree with Wolfgang. It's difficult to understand how someone can say "If you can't say something nice then don't say anything" and then go on to call other posters assholes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Wolfgang Date: 24 Mar 06 - 12:22 PM But Shambles, can't you see that I followed your advice in my post from 23 Mar 06 - 03:50 PM and tried to leave out each judgement? Everybody could make up her mind herself. But how can I answer two 'why' questions without making a public judgement? My judgement which you have asked me to give has elicited from you the judgement that it served no useful purpose. So, yes there are worse examples who are even inconsistent and hypocritical within one single post. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: John MacKenzie Date: 24 Mar 06 - 12:23 PM That sounds paranoid Roger, other peoples' threads are being amended to make them intelligible, other peoples' posts are being criticised, and other peoples' posts are being deleted. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Wolfgang Date: 24 Mar 06 - 01:13 PM Shambles, Why did you judge the worth of my post in your 24 Mar 06 - 12:03 PM post? Wolfgang |

Wolfgang can you tell us all what you think is so wrong with making personal judgements of another poster's contribution? |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Mar 06 - 05:00 AM He may just be pointing out the absurdity of someone who rails against personal judgements indulging in them himself, but then I don't expect you to see the funny side of this. G. |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: The Shambles Date: 25 Mar 06 - 05:09 AM I agree with Wolfgang. It's difficult to understand how someone can say "If you can't say something nice then don't say anything" and then go on to call other posters assholes. It is something that I have also long struggled with on our forum. But when Joe Offer has so often set exactly this example - I have yet to see many other posts saying they are also struggling to understand his position. When a poster is only following the example set by a site's moderator this could be thought to be safe course to follow......... |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Joe Offer Date: 25 Mar 06 - 10:21 AM Please forgive me. We Americans can be so imprecise in our use of the language. What I meant to say was

I don't want to start another battle about Guest posting, but if a registered Mudcatter starts too many copycat threads, he risks building himself a reputation as an asshole. That tends to encourage him not to act like an asshole. >snip< -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: GUEST,dianavan Date: 26 Mar 06 - 12:29 AM I don't care about copy cat threads. I don't open them. Put your energy elsewhere. |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Joe Offer Date: 26 Mar 06 - 01:32 AM You'll note that it is only on rare occasions that we will attempt to control copycat threads - we don't bother unless it appears to be turning into an epidemic. Same goes for just about everything. If you post four messages in a row in one thread, nobody's going to even notice it. If you post four messages in a row in several threads, that's another matter. In general, we don't bother with things unless they occur in large quantities. Oh, and I usually don't say "asshole" very often, but somebody likes to quote me saying it. -Joe Offer- |

Perhaps you will telling us what quota you will imposing on how often we are allowed to say assholes? |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 26 Mar 06 - 07:46 AM Should this thread be renamed to the Copy Cat asshole thread? the Copy Cat thread asshole? the Copy asshole Cat thread? the asshole Copy Cat thread? or asshole - the Copy Cat thread? |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Wolfgang Date: 27 Mar 06 - 06:43 AM Perhaps you will telling us what quota you will imposing on how often we are allowed to say assholes? (Shambles) Wrong thinking and wrong question, Shambles. It is not only the person saying it but also the person addressed this way who should be considered. There is a very large number of Mudcatters (well above 99 %) who has never been addressed this way even by the most prolific asshole sayer of Mudcat. Wolfgang |

Wolfgang You may have missed the obvious fact that a public posting is addressing everyone and that addressing a public post to a named poster still has a good chance of inflicting it upon 100 % of Mudcatters. A private message or an email of course does not. |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Wolfgang Date: 27 Mar 06 - 11:11 AM You just try to avoid rethinking your own contribution to the mess. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: The Shambles Date: 27 Mar 06 - 01:12 PM Why would you think or bother to publicly post this judgement? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Wolfgang Date: 27 Mar 06 - 03:05 PM Why do you bother to repeatedly pass judgements about others and their posts? Wolfgang |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: The Shambles Date: 27 Mar 06 - 04:46 PM Why do you ask - what do you judge is wrong with posting only such things? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Copy Cat threads....?? From: Bert Date: 27 Mar 06 - 05:12 PM Well those two posts were really saying much the same thing. BE NICE. Of course if any Mudcatter personally identified with being an "asshole coming out of the woodwork" then perhaps they were feeling just a littly guilty for criticizing Roger. I didn't personally call anyone an asshole, but criticising someone who was asking you to be nice, might just put you in that category. |
