Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Jeri Date: 18 Jul 04 - 12:39 PM I'm with GUEST, catter up there. There are ratbags in every forum, every community, office, family... everywhere. Some attempt to piss everyone off with such dedication that it seems desperate. We have these here. My guess is that they can succeed in little else, interpersonally, and at least they get noticed when they act like assholes. The desperation, however, is just too blatant for me to take them seriously. Other folks, who come down to some nasty level to play, bother me more. I guess it's just that the threatening, rude, easily goaded, egotistical, whatever, plonker, was always lurking behind the public 'face'. Those qualities lurk behind most of our masks, in varying degrees. What I can't figure out is what makes people, who obviously CAN be nice, decide they can justify (to themselves) letting their 'inner asshole' come out and hurt people. I suppose what bothers me more than them just showing who they really are is the realisation that I'd misjudged them. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: GUEST,catter Date: 18 Jul 04 - 11:55 AM Its not the heavies on the cat that bother me, tho, at times they all have. There is one catter that is smart, witty, philosphical, funny etc. Yet occasionally makes very personal attacks on another mudcatter with similar qualities. This upsets me more than the heavies. Because I expected better of him. And because the attacks are so detailed, so personal, so well thought out. Ratbags I can cope with. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Once Famous Date: 18 Jul 04 - 11:38 AM M.Ted, I have no idea who this Rabbi Loew is , so your post is as empty as probably your sex life. Unless it reveals how anti-semitic you are. I think, I'll start referring to you as M.Teat, as I am sure that M.Ted is hardly how you sign your checks. So M.Teat, change your shorts, today? Ebbie, I don't know or care about the other posters you are comparing me to. As far as being what you call juvinile, I really don't care about that either. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Ebbie Date: 17 Jul 04 - 08:09 PM Martin Gibson, you may think that your peculiar idea of entertainment on this forum is a new one- but if you check back a year or two on other threads you'll find that there have been others who also claimed they were pitching the shit for the fun of it. You're not original, only juvenile. IMO. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: M.Ted Date: 17 Jul 04 - 11:11 AM So--you have created your own Golem to fight with the "little old men in front of their keyboards, plotting and seething"--when we want to talk to you instead of Martin Gibson, we'll start calling you Rabbi Loew-- So Rabbi Loew: We're just trying to help you to understand the way things work here in cyberspace--it may seem like you can do and say whatever you want, but after a while, you become what you pretend to be--when you live outside the law you must be honest--I know Little Hawk always says that he agrees-- |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Once Famous Date: 16 Jul 04 - 11:44 PM Perhaps, Little Hawk. But the old WASPs here with their devout and totally hypocritical political correctness are by far my favorite target. As I have said, that clique is the one that looks down their noses at many in their pseudo-sophisticated manner. They are about as fun as diarhrea at a party and to me never enlightening. do you really think calling me "buster" can possibly upset me? It's about as lame as a man with 2 broken legs. You have to be tough to live in Chicago, tough to work in the corporate world, tough to make life work to your advantage in general. These little old men in front of their keyboards, plotting and seething very seldom really push my buttons. My posts are purely impromptu to them. They squirm like little girls that have a worm dangled in front of them. I really don't mean them any harm, but I will always push back when pushed at and expose their brand of complete bullshit. For me, it's as I have been saying all along, just entertainment. As for being Martin Gibson, I would rather be him here. If we don't have other lives than what goes on here, then I would say, I would not want to be one so pathetic. Always enjoy dialogue with you, Little Hawk. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Jul 04 - 09:49 PM "It's up to them if they want to be upset about it." Martin, you are so right! It's up to them. And that is the key to self-mastery right there. Talking and sometimes wrangling with people of many vastly different beliefs for the last 3 years on Mudcat Cafe has had an enormous effect in helping to teach me how not to give my power away pointlessly to other people by letting them push my buttons any old time they don't see something my way. I have learned to have more equanimity and good humour in the process. For that alone it's been worth it. I think there's plenty of method in your particular brand of "madness". |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Don Firth Date: 16 Jul 04 - 06:39 PM Maybe you're right, Marty. You're the expert. You know more about anal than anybody else around here. But I can assure you that you are "Martin Gibson" when you leave this place. You're the one who chose your identity, so had to be a part of your character to begin with. You just can't wash it off that easily, Buster. You chose it, and you're stuck with it. Have a nice day. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Once Famous Date: 16 Jul 04 - 05:56 PM It's up to them if they want to be upset about it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Ed. Date: 16 Jul 04 - 05:43 PM Fair enough, but calling people pompous over anal snobs is bound to upset some. If you want to get your kicks by upsetting people, that's up to you, I guess. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Once Famous Date: 16 Jul 04 - 05:06 PM Thank you Susan, and that's because I do. Don, you got your psychology degree at the men's room at the racetrack. Hey, maybe I should put that in the horse thread I created! don, you are so full of analyzing that you are completely the most anal person on this forum. I can assure you, I am not Martin Gibson when I leave this place. but it is ENTERTAINMENT to me. Especally to show you how easily manipulated you can be and believe anything you read on the Internet. This guy dON fIRTH, I am sure angsts on how to respond to me. Occasionally, I get a thought about it and laugh to myself about it. Please believe me about how whimsical it is for me. all I do is post what's on my mind,how I feel, try to be as politically incorrect as possible, rip into a few pompous over anal snobs, and laugh about how much it is talked about. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: M.Ted Date: 16 Jul 04 - 03:03 PM Some people deal with cyberspace as if it wasn't part of the real world--the apparent anonymity confuses people into thinking that they aren't being observed, so their actions have no "real world" consequences--many have found out the hard way that it isn't true-- |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Don Firth Date: 16 Jul 04 - 02:36 PM The person who calls himself "Martin Gibson" probably sees himself as some sort of secret identity superhero. The chances are that, in the 3D world, he appears and acts normal. Maybe people even think he's a nice guy. He probably thinks he's a nice guy. But then—like the seizures that assail David Banner just before he turns into The Hulk—the person who becomes "Martin Gibson" ducks into the closet and puts on his form-fitting Lycra spandex body stocking (form-fitting—oh God, what a horrible thought! I can't look!), his mask, and his cape, then comes out, goes to his computer, and accesses Mudcat. There, he becomes the person we've all learned to love so much as he Hulks it up. He thinks that, as "Martin Gibson," he's only a made-up persona, and that "Martin Gibson" doesn't really exist in the real world. That's not who he—the 3D person who becomes "Martin Gibson" really is. In fact, several times he has said as much. AHA! BUT—you can't really separate the various aspects of what you do and what you are unless you're either schizophrenic or have multiple personality disorder. Every individual is the totality of all the personalities he or she assumes. When "Martin Gibson" leaves the computer, goes back into the closet, changes out of his costume, and assumes his 3D identity (what he likes to think of as the "real" him), he is still the same person. Whoever "Martin Gibson" is in the 3D world, whether he thinks so or not, whether he likes it or not, he IS Martin Gibson. He probably really wanted to become Fartman, but Howard Stern beat him to it.

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Jul 04 - 01:16 PM That's true. Whoever the actual person is who posts AS Martin Gibson, he is gradually being overshadowed and possessed by his cyber-doppelganger! Creepy. This is a common problem on Internet forums. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: M.Ted Date: 16 Jul 04 - 01:13 PM The thing is, "Martin Gibson" does exist--he is more "real" in cyberspace than the person who created him--and the person who created him doesn't realize that "Martin Gibson" has already taken over his "real" life in subtle ways-- If you don't believe me, "Creator-of-Martin", think about how much of your real life you give up to "Martin Gibson" every time you write a post, and then come back later to see how people responded to it- You have already said that "he" isn't you, and that you walk away to be a very differerent sort of person in your "real" life, but the fact is, you keep coming back to be him, again and again-- |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: GUEST Date: 15 Jul 04 - 08:55 PM So who is Clinton Hammond really? *G* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Once Famous Date: 15 Jul 04 - 05:57 PM Even I admit that I don't really exist. Yet plenty seem to be going crazy here over it. Actually I am a figment of my own imagination. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Ed. Date: 15 Jul 04 - 05:56 PM Really, no one cares Goodness, I don't exist! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 15 Jul 04 - 05:53 PM Some people have the mission in life of standing as sort of negative role models. Horrible warnings. It's quite a useful function really - "It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: GUEST,judge dread Date: 15 Jul 04 - 05:40 PM You think then that Martin Gibson exists. There is no such person. This is a figment of your vivid imagination and it would be wise to ignore such manifestations in the future for your own sanity. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: GUEST Date: 15 Jul 04 - 05:27 PM Clinton Hammond is definitely not Martin Gibson. I think Martin is really CarolC or Jack The Sailor. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: Once Famous Date: 15 Jul 04 - 02:46 PM Calling Clinton Hammond. Are you..........me? Can't be. I don't drink. OK, except for a little Mogen David before BBQing on Sunday. Guest, Lepche................you're high. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: GUEST,Lepche Date: 15 Jul 04 - 01:40 PM I am beginning to suspect that Martin Gibson is Clinton Hammond. It works this way: Like Doctor Jeckl and Mister Hyde, Clinton Hammond periodically undergoes a horrific personality change where he metamorphs from his normally snide and unpleasantly opinionated self into something far more chaotic and terrifying...Martin Gibson! Martin Gibson is Clinton Hammond without even a shred of self-control or human decency left. I think it happens every time Clinton has his second bottle of Guinness. That's my theory. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatr people waht piss you off? From: M.Ted Date: 15 Jul 04 - 10:56 AM None of the above--it pisses when people call one or another sort of music "crap" because it doesn't correspond to their particular taste--and when someone is trying to figure out how to play something in a certain technique and style, others are trying to help, and some jerk-off pops in with "all this is bullshit, just play it"--or "there is no right or wrong way to do this"-- |

The one who spells his name the same as mine, but he doesn't capitalize the "N". He has no business coming here. He is superfluous! I am the one and only Noddy who should be here on this forum. And then there's Grab! That fellow's membername sums up his entire nasty existence in one ugly syllable. Like Martin said, Grab: "Grab this!" And then there's Clinton H...the guy who is too smart to still be hanging around here, but he doesn't leave! He'd rather stay around and TELL us that he is too smart to be hanging around here. Is he a masochist or a sadist? I think it's the latter. |
