12 Sep 00 - 01:53 PM (#295785) Subject: RE: People who Didn't post to DON'T POST.... From: Little Hawk At first I thought I knew where I was going, until I realized that if I had known where I was going I would not necessarily have had to draw attention to the fact that, knowing where I was going...or where I was not going...would in essence be a moot point, in consideratin of the not too easily nailed down principle of keeping tabs on the directional status of one's horizontal movements along a fixed line, or a variable line, notwithstanding the possibility that the very nature of human observation and perception is subjective in nature, leading to a possible decline in the ability of the casual observer to draw any sort of reasonable conclusion which might not be challenged or even refuted by persons such as Wolfgang...or even Spaw...depending.

Well-schooled in the elements of good taste, decency and restraint. OR 5. Bucolicly licentious Birkenstock wearers who never shave their legs (or anything else) and are still upset about Dylan going "electric". OR 6. Members of the George Bush Jr. fan club. OR 7. Members of the Al Gore fan club. OR 8. Ronald Reagan OR 9. Jesse Helms (the "turd that walks like a man") OR 10. My Uncle Throckmorton. One or two of the above may or may not be relevant to the subject at hand, in which case they were thrown in merely to confuse and muddy the waters, so to speak... You figure it out.

18 Sep 00 - 12:00 PM (#299986) Subject: RE: People who Didn't post to DON'T POST.... From: Little Hawk Why not? A tale from the old days in Spain... A gorilla from El Ferrol, Spain Tried taking a ride on the train But soon he was found To be monkeying around And behaving, quite simply, insane He had purloined a bucket of figs And released a contingent of pigs From the rear baggage car As they ran through the bar He danced a maniacal jig He devoured the figs with a grin And gave an old matron a spin With a shreik and a curse She surrendered her purse Oh my! What a hideous din! As the train thundered into Santander He was heard to yell "What? NO BANANERS??? I'll purloin the lot, You bilious sots! Go fetch me the produce commander!" But the produce commander was ill Having swallowed a horse-breeding pill Instead came a brace Of Spanish police In a mood fit to plunder and kill They quickly made ready their guns Set to "massacre", not just to "stun" But before the command With a wave of his hand The gorilla arrested their fun He said "Do you not notice this brow? And this noble visage? Don't you now?" Said the chief of police "It's the General! All cease!" It was Franco. They all scraped and bowed. (Hey, Woody...this poem kills fascists...) |

From: GUEST,Rich(bodhránai gan ciall) I tried but I just couldn't help but click onto CarolC's blue clicky thing entitled "Don't click here" (having expended all my restraint in not posting to the original "Don't post" thread)and what did I see but a pile of left socks (only two of which were argyle) and in each was a pick and a kazoo of many colors that played in the key of Q and there were some angry-looking people fighting over something or other and I almost snuck away but I've never even heard of anything that played in the key of Q and in a frenzy of unbridled greed mixed with the sweet euphoria of giving in and not restraining my self I said to my self "Self, you oughta steal one of those low-octave Q kazoos" and so I tried but one of them caught me and they were gonna roast me and they were gonna sit on me and squash me and they were gonna bake me in a pie but just when all seemed lost, this little opossum came and led the kazoos in a rowsing rendition of Day Tripper and confused the angry-looking people long enough for me to escape and I crawled back out of the blue clcky thing and was going to pretend like nothing happened because I was so judgemental earlier and I turned out to be just as guilty as everyone else in my blatant disregard for suggestions put there by wiser people than me for my own good but the blue clicky thing (having been clicked) was now purple and there was no way I could get away with it and so I admit openly that I can't resist sometimes and I feel so much better and see so much clearer with that off my chest that now I realize that conjunctions are every bit as dangerous as angry-looking people in that the surgeon generahas determined conjuntions to be the leading cause of run-on sentences.

20 Sep 00 - 08:33 AM (#301279) Subject: RE: People who Didn't post to DON'T POST.... From: CarolC Guest, I think that some of the people who post anonymously have good things to say. I hope you can understand, however, that when there are a number of posts by unidentified guests that are toxic or emotionally violent in nature, people's nerves get pretty rough around the edges. That's when all anonymous guests are viewed with the same suspicion. It's hard to know for sure where people are coming from when we don't know anything about them. Those who identify themselves in some way establish relationships and patterns of behavior that we can identify as being from them. When you post anonymously, even if you say something worthwhile, you put yourself into the same category as the destructive ones by simple name recognition, and the lack of any other identifying characteristics. Best wishes, Carol |

20 Sep 00 - 11:56 AM (#301411) Subject: RE: People who Didn't post to DON'T POST.... From: GUEST CarolC... Thank you for your comments. I have no problem with all anonymous guests being viewed with suspicion. And I see the rationale behind a person's reluctance to respond to a guest because another guest can step in and post a nasty message subsequent to a neutral one, causing confusion. The sweeping generalization is hard to understand, however, especially in light of the fact that the only thing to be dealt with is the message. One message from an anonymous poster is inflammatory; therefore, regardless of the tone of the message, all messages from anonymous posters must be inflammatory and undeserving of a response. One guest behaves badly, therefore all guests are condemnable. This "you're either on the bus or off the bus" attitude must evidently be readily observable by others, as evidenced by Rich's post above, and is just as insubstantial as the lobby against the 'BS' threads. If all anonymous posts must be so unfairly judged, then so be it. This guest will oppose the herd mentality and take its chances with those like yourself who're capable of separating the wheat from the chaff. And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music. -- Friedrich Nietzsche. Best wishes to you also, CarolC.

20 Sep 00 - 12:44 PM (#301442) Subject: RE: People who Didn't post to DON'T POST.... From: Bill D anonymous is one thing, undifferentiated is quite another...if you have some reason to not be identifed as 'you'...at least choose a handle to differentiate you from other 'guests'....I'm sorry, but saying " the only thing to be dealt with is the message" just doesn't cut it...it is sort of true that a message should stand on it's own, but being criticized, hassled, teased...or even agreed with, by nameless, faceless wraiths is NOT something that most people care to deal with... ....and I strongly suspect that BEING anonymous colors what a person says and ultimately affects their own attitude and personality. (we have already had one 'confession' to that effect...) In this forum, as things now are set up, no one can demand you have an identity, but you may get more satisfaction if you DO have one...even if it is spurious. To those who DO often resort to being 'guest'...do you ever wonder at all how some of us can LIVE with people knowing what we think? ...(visualize little face with raised eyebrows and quizzical expression here) (somehow, I doubt I 'changed any minds'....but, I said my piece) |

21 Sep 00 - 12:23 AM (#301985) Subject: RE: People who Didn't post to DON'T POST.... From: Rich(bodhránai gan ciall) Alright Guest. I wanna be very careful not to seem to lash out because 24 hours ago my handle said that too, albeit with a handle attached. I've gotten a lot of good feedback even without "being on the bus". Only once or twice have I really been made to feel like my 2 cents was worth less than somebody else's because of that prefix. The bulk of people here treated me like I was "on the bus" regardless. I've had running jokes with people. I've gotten to know people here and I have friends here whose input has been invaluble to me. My post was a joke, and especially with all the genuine prejudice floating around some of these threads as of late, I really don't want to add to it with an imagined slight. And by the way, thanks Carol. Slán agat, Rich |
