03 Feb 02 - 07:02 AM (#641195) Subject: - From: The Shambles I didn't want to give this thread a tile as I started it as a way for those contributors who are already ignoring threads from trolls or threads from counter-trolls to confirm, by not contributing to this thread also, that they were ignoring this thread also.
And requesting at the same time, some recognition from those that do contribute to such threads, that by ignoring threads from trolls and counter-trolls, these people are allowing the space for those that do respond, to continue a problem that need not even be a be problem if they also did not respond to treads from trolls or counter -trolls either.

03 Feb 02 - 02:56 PM (#641417) Subject: RE: - From: GUEST,Peter I hereby confirm that: I will ignore every thread posted by a guest, for the guest is bad. I will not feel sorry for the guest including those who have posted as guest because they are new to mudcat, and don't understand the correct protocol. I will however laugh at, and think wonderful, anything and everything a member posts. I will never question any hurtful posts made by members. I will remember the one holy truth: members are good and guests are bad. Peter Seriously, though. Reread this thread, and tell me, honestly, if your posts would have been the same had the presenter rather than the performer been the 'catter' There's nothing wrong with cheering on your friends, but this place goes a little far imho

How does one confirm one is ignoring a site by letting one's resident cookie reveal one's visitation, thus disclosing that one isn't ignoring it? I can't solve this conundrum except by logging in as a guest to stay anonymous, though I am a regular member. A rather fluffy exercise. |

(Haha) I used to frequent Mudcat, but am here only once a week or so now. And guess what? I'm getting really good at the guitar. I have a suggestion for those who have a hard time NOT responding to trolls... For every response you want to write, refrain! And instead, practice a song on your instrument. The degree of improvement you make on your instrument will measure how much you used to respond to trolls. You will be redirecting your energies, and actually have something to thank el-troll-o for: your much improved musicality! I suppose you're all laughing at me now. Ah, but if you could hear me play.... :o) Oh, and (the one above) I'm glad your cookie is memberless..... that is unless it is a gingerbread man. (Oh no! Not my gumdrop buttons.....) |

From: GUEST,Won't put my cookie on this thread Don't know about the drug analogy, but the behavior is definately anal retentive. . . Whoever is behind the GUEST responses to each of Shambles' refreshments seems to have a similar ailment. Ah! That's why the shit hits the fan around here! This tit for tat stuff doesn't get anyone anywhere. It's like Israel and Palestine, slapping each other back and forth, and every time Israel hits a little harder then says "Okay, NOW we want peace!" As long as you need to get the last word in, that's the way it's going to stay. Mudcatters need to just pass over the insulting guests and respond to the good guests. It's the mature thing to do.
