Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Bill D Date: 26 Jul 00 - 10:30 PM *just making notes..compiling little turns of phrase...doing little searches.* Sooner or later, most trolls give themselves away by their style.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Thomas the Rhymer Date: 26 Jul 00 - 09:43 PM Moonchild,... You are wonderful. The 'net chats seem to be like snake pits, but this one is indeed different. Lotsa tention in our lives with no place to turn. Keep thinking good thoughts, and try to let the jerks down easy. It isn't about hurting them back, like some would say,... its about tai-chi. ttr, (who otta listen to his own advice more often)...('!') |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: bob jr Date: 26 Jul 00 - 09:25 PM the garbage idea didnt seem to work out to well |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jul 00 - 05:09 PM MMario, Thank you for making the point so clearly and succinctly. Join Kendall in the ranks of Knights in Shining Armor.There are so many great people here. I hope Moonchild chooses to stay. She adds a gentle balance to Spaw's... welllllll to Spaw. Mary |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jul 00 - 04:18 PM Moonie, See in the PMs. Mary |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: MMario Date: 26 Jul 00 - 04:18 PM Because Sinsull is consistantly Sinsull and makes no bones about it. She can be contacted through a PM and the response will come from her. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: GUEST Date: 26 Jul 00 - 04:10 PM Mary You call yourself 'sinsull' Can you please explain how that is any bit less anonymous than 'guest?' I have no idea who you are - so please don't take the moral high ground |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: bbelle Date: 26 Jul 00 - 04:10 PM Thank you, Mary, but I this will be my last post. I seem to be fuel for whoever doesn't have the moral turpitude to sign their name and I don't want to be a party in it, anymore. moonchild |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jul 00 - 04:07 PM Moon child, I will take this to a PM because I am not afraid to be identified with my posts and I have a name. But for the record, if you ignore them they eventually go away. They thrive on the emotions you supply. Starve their pathetic little egos. Allow yourself to thrive on the love and support you are given daily by people here who respect you and care about you. That respect is what instigates their spite in the first place. They are more to be pitied than censured. Smile, Moonie. Life is good. Mary |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: GUEST Date: 26 Jul 00 - 03:53 PM moonchild - please don't be so angry - count to 20 at least before you spark off you may have good reason to hate the world, but most of us quite like it and forgive whenever we can |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: bbelle Date: 26 Jul 00 - 03:52 PM Actually, GUEST, free and unbound and Thread creep, or whoever the hell you are, if you insist on addressing me personally, please take it to the personal messages page. Oops ... guess you can't do that, unless you use your real name or become a member with your alias. Oh, well ... moonchild |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: MMario Date: 26 Jul 00 - 03:48 PM some people should realize that even though this is "only a web site" (which is another argument) that doesn't excuse rudeness, personal attacks, stupidity and deliberate disruptivness. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: bbelle Date: 26 Jul 00 - 03:46 PM go to hell |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: GUEST,Thread Creep Date: 26 Jul 00 - 03:45 PM Moon basket Calm down a bit! This a web site - nothing more... |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Ebbie Date: 26 Jul 00 - 03:34 PM I move that all flamers sign in as a THREAD CREEP. Ebbie |

Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: bbelle Date: 26 Jul 00 - 02:35 PM Oh GUEST, free and unbound, you are SO an asshole who doesn't have the balls to sign your name, and SO uninformed to think you've been in my mind. moonchild |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: GUEST,free and unbound Date: 26 Jul 00 - 02:14 PM Oh moonchild you're SO establishment. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: bbelle Date: 26 Jul 00 - 02:06 PM Mary ... the nice thing about the capspaw thread is that we are making a joke of the whole thing and it probably has difussed the poor idget. This next is more to vent at Willie-O insinuating that I'm a liar by referring to myself as a "working hippie folksinger." He, apparently, thinks there is some status attained in being an unemployed, starving folksinger, rather than a paid musician. moonchild |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jul 00 - 01:15 PM Sorry - it's CAPSPAW48. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jul 00 - 01:12 PM I hate Anonymous messages in general. But the ones by phantoms pretending to be known members really offend me the most. With this in mind, I request that all responses to the CAPSPAW49 thread be dumped here. Vent and then dispose. Mary |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Gypsy Date: 24 Jul 00 - 11:26 AM This is great....stayed off the 'cat for a while, and now we no longer have the awful, inflammatory threads that so distressed me. Yay to the Mudcat! Long may her tail wave. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Gypsy Date: 18 Jul 00 - 10:31 PM Wonderful idea! I am sick to death of the inflammatory thread topics that are being posted right now. Seems like people are just looking for fights, not conversation. I am not about to yelp about the "purity" of Mudcat being sullied, haven't attended a session yet where i did NOTHING but play, with not conversation, but some of these postings! Ugh! Hopefully, they will die a natural death, and soon. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 18 Jul 00 - 05:13 PM Sorry Cletus, I meant that it is the first time you and I have crossed paths. Sorry it had to be in the garbage dump. Did you check the Foxy Song Challenge thread? I believe it took place at your friend Billy's gas station. In keeping with the theme here. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Bagpuss Date: 18 Jul 00 - 03:45 PM Richard - people got annoyed at the homosexuality thread not because of any sort of prejudice or discrimination, but because the person who posted it was just trolling. Bagpuss |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Amergin Date: 18 Jul 00 - 02:54 PM Is this where all the responses to my comments go? |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Richard Bridge Date: 18 Jul 00 - 02:49 PM People seem to have got very uptight about the homosexuality thread. Surely it is quite proper to ask if the community of folk music has become sexually discriminatory. A former member of my band was gay and broke young ladies hearts wherever he went, by his lack of interest in them. No-one I remember risked his acid tongue (well, not twice) by trying to discriminate "live" and it would be a shame if closet prejudices could do the same online. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: GUEST Date: 18 Jul 00 - 02:30 PM To no one in particular: "Oh yeah? Well, same to you buddy!" I feel much better now. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: sledge Date: 18 Jul 00 - 01:03 PM Us bears don't normaly post to this kind of thing, but i have to tell you folks about this hillbilly who shoved a flamming stick up my ass the other day. Mind you he walks funny these days as well, that banjo was an awfully tight fit. |

Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Skipjack K8 Date: 18 Jul 00 - 12:05 PM Cletus, you've got me remembering Miz Lillian, Jimmy Carters mom, or at least a guy called Alan Coren (Limey) who masqueraded as Miz Lillian back in the 70's, in Punch magazine. It was a weekly article that took the form of a letter from Miz Lillian, allegedly in Plains GA, to son Jimmy in the White House. The occasion was the sad death of Indira Ghandi, the Premier of India at the time. Miz Lillian was despatched by son Jimmy to represent the US of A at the funeral. That week's spoof article started:- "Deeyuh Jimmy, Them Injuns sho' have come a long way since Wounded Knee....." Skipjack |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 18 Jul 00 - 11:36 AM Where did this go wrong? Hmmmm. Catspaw-bear dump- and down we go. Cletus, nice to meet you. You didn't leave that poor bear to go through life with a stick up his butt, did you? |

Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Bagpuss Date: 18 Jul 00 - 09:50 AM You can't feed them all of that. They just need the *bear necessities" *groan* Bagpuss |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: MMario Date: 18 Jul 00 - 09:41 AM 'spaw - butterfingers make bears fart really bad. can't we just feed them bread and honey or something that doesn't raise the methane count? |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Jul 00 - 06:45 PM That's OK Homeless........How about we make this the "Bear Dump?" We can all come here and watch the bears eat garbage......feed 'em some Butterfingers and stuff. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Homeless Date: 17 Jul 00 - 05:02 PM Since Sinsull and Kendall both referred to it, but didn't explain, there is already a thread for complaining about all the garbage. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: BlueJay Date: 17 Jul 00 - 04:19 PM SINSULL- I think it's a great idea. I haven't responded to quite a few threads lately in hopes they would die. But I still may want to comment on some of these absurd threads. Let me make one up: "Why do most Mudcatters belong to the Mafia"? (violins, horses). Perhaps some of the more ridiculous threads would disappear if folks posted here, rather than responding to the thread. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: Bagpuss Date: 17 Jul 00 - 03:56 PM A solution. We use this thread to complain about Kendall's thread, and his thread to complain about this one!!! Bagpuss |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: kendall Date: 17 Jul 00 - 03:42 PM as long as you agree with me, I'll forgive.. |
Subject: RE: BS: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 17 Jul 00 - 03:36 PM Kendall, My apologies. Great minds, same track and all that crap. I defer to your thread. SINSULL |
Subject: Garbage dump for responding to idiots From: SINSULL Date: 17 Jul 00 - 03:34 PM We have an over abundance of nonsense threads, provocative threads, meanspirited threads, etc. I bite my tongue and pass. But it leaves me angry. At the same time, others choose to answer and keep these threads alive. My suggestion is that this become the answering ground. Ignore the provocation, let it go to the bottom of the list and die, and come here to vent your spleen. Some people feed on the turmoil they create. Others try to demean members with their nastiness. This may be a way to avoid provoking them. Any takers?
I'll go first: |
