Subject: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: GUEST,Georgiansilver Date: 13 Jul 04 - 05:59 PM O.K so lets name and shame but give some facts about why they are troublemakers please. We have all seen the nastiness and personal attacks on threads....who is responsible???? |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Amos Date: 13 Jul 04 - 06:08 PM GS, I'd suggest this sort of an action be suggested to Max before execution. Much as I appreciate the impulse, I think you are walking on what is known as a slippery slope indeed. If you appropriate Mudcat bandwidth in order to start a public excoriation and/or witchhunt, you are likely to cause as much trouble as anyone you might want to name here-- and I notice you didn't include anyone! Those who deserve inclusion are unlikely to learn from being named. Those who are named unjustly will be hurt, and none will be served by it. Learning civility is an individual lesson. A |

From: jimmyt Date: 13 Jul 04 - 06:12 PM Georgainsilver, take a deep breath, count to ten, get in an anger management class, start drinking, stop drinking, turn to or from religion, get a hobby, there must be some solution for you. (Just joking, so don't burn down my house) Seriously, could you offer some specifics as to what the heck you are talking about here? I think this idea has very little to offer in a constructive vein. I don't share a lot of people's ideas. politics, religions, etc in this forum, but this is common ground where I come to meet folks, try to learn something. maybe make some new friends. See where other people are coming from. Seems like a better attitude. But maybe that is just my opinion. |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Bobert Date: 13 Jul 04 - 06:33 PM Well, while I think it real "brown shirtism" to point out the "troublemakers" I don't think it's out of bounds fir troublemakers to steo forward. But only if they wish... I am a troublemaker! Hey, I like being a troublemaker. Someone has to do it... But I would like to think I do it with a level of humor and respect for those with whom I disagree... Now, I will admit to calling *ne*other Catter "sick" and told that Catter that I would not be interacting much with them because of their behavior. That's about as close as I have come to disrespecting someone personally. However, if anyone else has felt that I personally attacked them, I would appreciate them PM'ing me fir an apology...

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Leadfingers Date: 13 Jul 04 - 07:06 PM G S - Most of the 'abusive' posts on the Cat seem to come from those who post anonymously as Guests , which is very easy to do , wether you are a member or not . There are a lot of posts which are mildly impolite , usually VERY tongue in cheek , so I will go along with Amos's comments and leave it there . |

|
Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: SINSULL Date: 13 Jul 04 - 07:13 PM Aw please! Can I be on the list? Just once I would like to hang out with the cool kids. |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Jul 04 - 07:21 PM Ha! :-) I also doubt that it was Georgiansilver. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Jul 04 - 07:35 PM I'd hate to think Bobert outed himself because of a hoax! The premise of the thread is a sorry one from beginning to end and all of the ramifications in between. Whoever started it, it was a mean-spirited idea. |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Bobert Date: 13 Jul 04 - 07:49 PM Well, if this ia a hoax thread then I'm withdrawing my confession... Geeze... Bobert |
|
Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Amos Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:00 PM No ya don't Bobert. Hoax or not, I'm in, and I nominate Sinsull too. I am definitely one of the troublemakers, because stupid people just make me soooo mad I can't keep my big yap shut. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Blackcatter Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:02 PM I want to nominate myself. At least I'm my own asshole. By the way - this is yet again a good reason for not letting GUESTS start BS threads. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Bobert Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:04 PM Okay, I officially rescend my rescendation... Iz a Troublemaker! Amos is a troublemaker! and Sinsull is a troublemaker! Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: freightdawg Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:05 PM Its funny that a thread with such a dark title has turned into one of the most entertaining I've read in a long time. Bobert, you always crack me up. Sorry you have been hoaxed. Maybe this could be the start of another Mudcat t-shirt. It would be black, with the banjo shown broken over someone's head, the little catfish lying dead at his feet. The first honorary copies would be sent, free of charge, to Sinsull and Bobert for their gracious (but undeserved) self-nominations. Thankful there have been no other nominations so far :-) Freightdawg |
|
Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: freightdawg Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:08 PM Oops, cross posted. Guess we need shirts for Amos and Blackcatter too. (only self-nominations are allowed) Freightdawg |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: mooman Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:16 PM In no particular order and certainly not an exclusive list, perhaps... John Kerry George W. Bush Tony Blair Saddam Hussein John Edwards Ronald Reagan (R.I.P.) The Dalai Lama Bill Clinton Ralph Nader The Pope Donald Rumsfeld Ariel Sharon Yasser Arafat Vicars (in general) Dick Cheney Halliburton Inc. Michael Moore Millard Fillmore John Howard Michael Howard (no relation) The Rev. Ian Paisley Monica Lewinsky Jerry Adams Nigerian 419 scammers The International Accordeon, Banjo, Bodhran and Saw Manufacturers Association Gurus (of various persuasions) Mike Harding Kim Howells Various government agencies with initials, in assorted countries Eminem Clear Channel Cletus Valéry Giscard d'Estaing Karl Marx Adam Smith Sonny Bono Bugs Bunny (he's definitely at the root of it all, I'm sure of that) I strongly suspect all these people are posting, or have posted, potentially annoying and provocative material posing as perfectly innocent Guests... Peace moo |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: GUEST Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:22 PM Phew!!! I didn't see my name on this witch hunt list! Yet...but I'm sure Mr.or Ms. Georgianmcarthy can dig some pretty awful stuff up about me and anyone he/she chooses from the Mudcat archives. Peter Woodruff (AKA wdyat12) PS I'm from Maine. Like Senator Margaret Chase Smith said to Senator Joeseph Mcarthy, in so many words, "Go smoke a rope!" |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: GUEST,Bobert fan Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:58 PM Well, if Bobert is a troublemaker, then I want to be a troublemaker, too. Far as I'm concerned he is one of the very best to post here. What I like about him is that he clearly states his positions and tells you why he believes that way. That is something clearly lacking in a lot of posts here. Hooray for Bobert! PS - How bout a Bobert fan club???? |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: GUEST,Annonymous Guest Peter Date: 13 Jul 04 - 09:05 PM Phew! The heats off me now. Yeh! How about a Bobert Fanclub? Tell 'em to "Go smoke a rope!" Annonymous Guest Peter |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 13 Jul 04 - 09:27 PM This seems a harmless enough topic for a thread to me. Of course, there's always room for somone to turn it nasty, but that applies to anything. "Troublemakers" is a very ambiguous word. It can mean, at one end of the scale, people who make waves, and at the other end, people who try to poison the waterhole. In between there are people muddying the water to one degree or another. In the right circumstances "troublemaking" is a desirable thing. The missing beatitude is "Blessed are the Troublemakers" - though maybe it's implied in "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice". I think there's a big difference between enjoying a discussion on the Midcat, even a disputatious discussion, and attempting to turning such discussions into quarrels. And friendly insults between people who wish to be friends are a very different matter from hostile insults directed at people identified as enemies, on the basis of some disagreement. |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Bill D Date: 13 Jul 04 - 09:41 PM mercy sakes! see what joy I miss when I'm away a few hours? Why does anonymity bring out the sadder side of some people? |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: GUEST,Annonymous Peter Woodruff (AKA wdyat12) Date: 13 Jul 04 - 09:52 PM Bill D, I'm not sad, I'm angry! If being angry and showing it is a sign of a troublemaker on Mudcat, I am guilty. Annonymous Peter |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Irish sergeant Date: 13 Jul 04 - 09:56 PM I can see the fun in it but I suspect there are those who would turn it into a witch hunt I won't name names the cowardly know who he is/Are. Having said that. I am a trouble maker and Bobert I hope to aspire to be a trouble maker first class like you some day. Irish Sergeant |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Clinton Hammond Date: 14 Jul 04 - 03:45 AM Why Don't You Just Grow Up Why don't you just grow up and stop the little tantrums Why don't you just chill out, why don't you take a pill There's something more to life than what's contained in your agenda You voice, 'mein fuhrer' is just a little shrill Always with the talk Always with the lecture There's nothing that is good enough There's nothing that will do So stop with the sarcasm, the scorn and the invective School is out, ya, class is through If I give you the chance to plead insanity It's almost like the truth and that will do for some And when they ask you what it was that drove you to distraction Say the world just wasn't ready for the 'Son of God' to come Get off of that high horse, cut the condescension Don't do me any favours, stop looking down your nose I'm not overwhelmed by the glory of your presence Why don't you take a number, I'll let you know when you are close! Why don't you just speak plain and drop the innuendo My eyes are going bad trying to read between your lines It's very hard to understand just what it is you're saying When your ideas are only 3s and you tart 'em up as 9s And when it comes to that, There's one thing that I've wondered Who does your thinking for you Who puts you "In The Know"? Whoever that guy is, he's getting way to much When you're handing out the pink slips, He's the guy that aught to go! -James Keelaghan- |

From: mooman Date: 14 Jul 04 - 04:21 AM Dear Fishpicker, As a practising Buddhist I feel pretty bad about that too but I have to try to be fair and, as His Holiness The Dalai Lama would be the first to admit I'm sure, ...no-one is perfect. As for Bugs Bunny I still have strong suspicions... Peace moo |

Subject: RE: BS: List of troublemakers on Mudcat......... From: Gurney Date: 14 Jul 04 - 04:33 AM Are there any troublemakers on Mudcat? Grumpy bastards, yes. Heated exchanges. But surely nothing too bad. I've had worse arguments with my WIFE than I've seen on here. The thread gets pulled if it gets bad, and so it should. Blessed is the peacmaker. But I do like a little vinegar on my chips. Too much milk and honey is a bland diet. Chris, who has been known to voice an opinion. |
