BS: GUTLESS' IDIOT GUEST' CHAIN UPDATE

Subject: GUTLESS' IDIOT GUEST' CHAIN UPDATE
From: catspaw49

Recently an Idiot Guest/Member chain by e-mail began among several Mudcatters and friends who had been asking each for more stupid, cowardly, idiot Guest/Members, as needs arose. The Idiot Guest/Member chain grew in number of recipients and requests for sniveling, wimpering, cocksuckers throughout that month and was issued weekly or oftener as urgent needs required.

The Idiot Guest/Member Chain is still very new (but getting real old) and is still creating itself via flames received from gutless wonder, Idiot Guest/Members. Its existence evinces respect for Mudcatters who find Mudcat-posted flames from Idiot Guest/Members problematic, and it allows for Idiot Guest/Members in an environment free of condemnation or censure, except for the occasional castration.

The Idiot Guest/Member list also includes flames for the Mudcat Cafe and its leaders. Of course these flames, like all flames on the web, are entirely optional! Participants are expected to exercise mature responsibility in how they use and respond to the list-- there are no Idiot Guest/Member Chain Police forcing anyone to read the bullshit provided or the situations described. Participants also are expected and asked to provide feedback about the conduct of the Idiot Guest/Member Chain. This includes thoughtful discussion toward consensus should anything about these miserable little, pissant motherfockers be offensive in any way.

It's a little complicated, though. Why couldn't we just have another detailed technical description regarding the dimensions of your John Thomas, Spaw? That wouldn't go on as long! :-D

Very funny indeed!

Looks like Little Hawk has been converted. Praise the Lord! (Or should that be Susan the Lord? Eight other men in one dream, Susie?) That's probably enough for one night for one unnatural man of the cloth.

CH, the best thing to do with them is to ignore them and let them drop off the end of the list. Max has taken what I think is a very wise approach: no censorship at all, unless someone is clearly posing a threat to other people. Remember what Harry Truman said: If you can't stand the heat...move to Alaska. Or something like that; my brain is fogged with all this rain. Maybe I need to move to someplace warm.

Aloha,
Mark

How do I get on this anonymous chain mail list? Would I have to become an anonymous "guest" ;) ?

I've been online since 1990...first on parody,or prodigy (what was that ancient online service kemosabay?)

I've been anonymous most of that time using various nicks, but now I say f-ckit, IamwatIam,whenIammitdammit!

On the other hand, I can respect other participants' reluctance to be identified...On line stalking happens, and is easy to do from the anonymity of one's private space.
And I admit I am uneasy about taking to task those who choose to use "Guest".
I want people who drop in as guests to feel welcome-- (isn't that what a guest is?), and not be tarred with connotations generated by the anonymous incivility done by the few...

Well I followed the links and discovered that this is not a parody of the porno thread, but a parody of a parody (namely that porno thread) of a prayer thread - started by....WYSIWYG! A mere three catters posted to WYSIWYG's thread, so no wonder it's all a bit obscure.

I'm glad I got it sorted out, though. Pornorgraphy falls well within the embrace of my warm tolerance, whereas prayer lies well beyond. The sooner Max strikes his blue pencil through Praise's superstitious babbling, the better for all of our salvations.

I don't hold with anyonymous posts either, but if Max had struck on that basis, we wouldn't have had the porno parody, nor Spaw's parody of the parody.

I'm just bitterly disappointed that Praise is still spreading her crap on Mudcat (albeit under the new WYSIWYG persona) having promised to abandon us to preach in other pastures. (That promise was a bit like the magician Paul Daniels saying he'd leave the UK if Labour win the election. Labour won, and a newsaper sent a removal truck to his door, but still the fucker wouldn't go.)

I seem to remember that in announcing her (conditional) return, Praise undertook to hold fire on the mumbo jumbo. I expect it was a Christian's promise (cf Simon Peter). Anyway if we can keep responders to her prayer threads down to three or less, there's a chance she'll get the message.

Rich...(and all).....This isn't about any real guests. This is a member flaming another without the courage to use their name........Guest/Member.

In this case, we have gone round a lot about "healing threads," religion, "prayer chains" and all of that and reached a sort of truce. I'm an agnostic and in all truth, I believe that if it works for you, fine......Don't "inflict" yours on me and I'll do the same. WYSIWYG/Praise/Susan has maintained a lower profile and simply put up a thread for those (and there are quite a few) who might wish to participate in her prayer chain. Not a big deal and definitely not an "in your face" thing.

At this point, a member of ours who lacks the guts to use their own name, posted several threads ... "Curse Update" and "Pornography Update"... modeled on her text. If you have a problem, at least use your name......they didn't and they never do. These are members, not really guests at all. I'm wearing out on this crap and we've sorted out the worst of the problems to most people's satisfaction. Our Member/Guest is just stirring the pot and so I started this one. I have a far bigger problem with anonymous assholes than I do with anyone's religion and how they practice it. I'm ready in this case to have an "outting" of this member, but the call belongs to Max and I would never push it. Its not about censorship or about guests or about religion. What it is about is the lack of courage and courage of conviction to use your own name........and about causing and continuing dissention on a basically dead issue.

Spaw,

What a wonderfully stated thread beginning. I loved is and laughed myself silly. ( That doesn't really take much of a laugh though.)

Your last statement was also well done, as were several others.

I am personally thankful for the tolerance that Max has because I have learned so much about the mental process of so many by just reading the silliest of threads.

Besides, it's so much fun to post on one of these crazies and prove to the world just how crazy I really am.

Hey Rich! The only time I regretted using my real name on line was when I started getting confused with a "Dr" Rick Fielding, who apparently teaches at Bob Jones University in the States. (yes, they really DO name Universities in that way) He's to the right of Atilla the Hun.

Ahhh, he's probably just as sick about gettin' confused with a sucky lefty like me!

flattop - The explanation is simple. You just take the length of Leg of the Cat's most important asset, double it, take the square root of the diameter of the planet Neputune in kleeds (a Neptunian unit of measure more or less equavilent to the length of Richard Nixon's nose in late 1972), and divide the one by the other, and you have your answer!

Or is it the other way around?

At any rate, try it both ways. It's as plain as the nose on your face. Well...no, not quite that plain, but you get the general idea.

I've been "converted", you say? To what???

From: wysiwyg

This is addressed to the people who have already posted in this thread a number of times, and who are still posting, in an attempt to keep a laugh going or discuss a topic other than the actual idea behind this thread.

For some of the newer members, let me explain something. A convention that is seldom used here at the Mudcat is when someone says " 'Nuff said." When it is used, however, it's a good idea to respect it. It means, "I'm being as polite as I'm going to be, but DROP IT." I guess the penalty for not honoring that hint would be losing the respect of the person who declared " 'Nuff said."

As explained above, this thread was started in response to one aimed at me and activities associated with me. So the one who can claim the right to say " 'Nuff Said" on this matter would be ME. I did say it on another one of these threads to forestall people feeling a need to defend what needed no defending; it was respected and I appreciate that.

This thread provided a light relief to the heaviness of the idea of flaming, for a time, and while that was its focus I had no problem. But now it's gotten several other agendas mixed in that could run on and on ad nauseum. If you really want to address a serious subject-- please, would you start your own thread with a title that lends an opportunity to make a start at a reasonable discussion? Just because this topic restimulated a concern you have, does not mean you have to use this thread as the platform to address it.

So-- 'NUFF SAID.

~Susan
