09 Jun 00 - 05:15 PM (#240538) Subject: RE: Don't you miss From: GUEST,Woody Guthrie's Ghost I'll tell you what I (and many others here miss.) We miss the integrity of what this forum was originally founded on, that being a forum dedicated to blues and folk music, which was the heart and soul of this place, and where the bullshit, and idle chit chat, compulsive thread posting.......were incidental. Sadly, these days the converse is true, and this thread is yet but another log in the fire. It is also most unfortunate but painfully obvious, that the proprietor of this forum has become so totally self absorbed by his own perceived (faux) "celebrity", that he has allowed his vision to deteriorate into the free fall it has now become, careening completely out of control, and with the continuing departure of so many solid members. All this with nary a care, as long as he can occasionaly get laid at the odd house gathering, by those desperate and needy female Mudcatters who deceive themselves into thinking they are somehow in the presence of "royalty", when in actuality all he is, is a caretaker of a computer with a bunch of files on it, that gullible contributors have funded for recent upgrades. I'm sure he laughs at all of you both on and off the air, and through all his orifices when time permits. |

I'm absolutely convinced at this point that our resident nasty troll is at least one, maybe two or three registered 'catters who are exercising their personal bitterness on the rest of the group, helping to destroy what they claim they are saving. I just hope that their poison works its way out soon. Can't be healthy. And sad though it is, it makes me miss ol' garg at times. M |

09 Jun 00 - 09:41 PM (#240629) Subject: RE: Don't you miss From: Amos I miss slaughtering Saracens, ripping the masts out of a French ship of the line with a well-placed cannon shot, fleet raids on Spanish fat galleons, digging for gold in the hills north of Placerville in the springtime, courting pretty women in the morning so early, and marching forever across foreign hills with my fellow centurions; dancing under the tall firs when two horses, a sword and a cow were real wealth; stalking redcoats in the autumn twilight; long nights in rustic taverns drinking brown ale; fighting for freedom in the moonlight. I miss the spinny magic of physical love made real for the 'first' time, and the triumph of surviving gales and mountains of dark water and wind-spume, making a headland and finding a sudden respite of shelter to drop the hook behind. I miss roasting my own fresh-shot buck over a campfire in the Rockies, and being struck dumb by the safe arrival of a new child, moist and loud by candlelight, and being swept away by the incredible power of the life-river inside us. I miss the ability to eat icecream for hours without side effects. I miss being able to sing falsetto and cruising for burgers at midnight. However, I really have as much of all these things as I would ever need, and I am pretty happy to generate new and wonderful moments in the future. |

10 Jun 00 - 01:44 AM (#240695) Subject: RE: Don't you miss From: Helen What I meant, Jon, was that I think gg stuck with his chosen name for all of his postings rather than changing his name constantly - he usually signed "gargoyle" to everything. I believe that postings which are not signed by him do not originate from him. I am swimming against the stream here, I think. Helen |

10 Jun 00 - 07:55 AM (#240747) Subject: RE: Don't you miss From: black walnut Quote from AliUK: "the forum is for people with like minded tastes to get together and shoot the breeze, it just so happens that we like folk and blues too". Don't you see, friends, that this is where the struggle lies? There is a very big difference between "...dedicated to folk and blues" and "just so happens that we like folk and blues too". B.S. threads can be fun, and can be a way of getting to know each other as whole people. But, just THINK about it. If "shooting the breeze" is your PRIMARY goal here, then you might be hurting the forum as much as a flamer. If you're bored, try reading and posting to a non-B.S. threads. There's a whole lot of worthwhile stuff going on in there. ~black walnut (ducking right now for cover)

The above comment wasn't nasty, IMO. "More trivia" - yep. Browny - I miss the smell of baking bread. My mom used to make it to sell, and everyone who came to the house thought it was wonderful. I just took it for granted. I miss being young PERIOD! I miss the way everything was fresh and exciting, and how I never wondered what so-and-so really meant by what they said. I miss being able to stay up all night talking or playing music without feeling like a sack of doorknobs in the morning. I miss the way night felt like a secret. I miss rolling down hills and climbing trees. |
