25 Nov 05 - 06:06 PM (#1613818) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: Ebbie Actually, I would not, Roger. Someone's opinion of me is not an abuse of me- I can try to change his opinion if it is important to me- for instance, if someone really believes that I am a liar based on what I have said here, but if someone, as is more likely, calls me a windbag and uninformed, out of my depth, unable to admit I am wrong, unable to just let it go- and if I keep going without acknowledgment or an effort to change, follows up his or her opinion with stronger and more vituperation, that is still only an opinion. It can hurt my feelings but it cannot hurt me. And I would hope that at some point I will be asking myself what I have done or said that gave someone that idea of me. |

25 Nov 05 - 06:20 PM (#1613826) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: The Shambles Ebbie I rather agree with that - but the whole policy of the imposed censorship that is now inflicted upon is based upon it protecting posters like you and I from abusive personal attacks.

Perhaps you would like to provide us with one or two of them first - to save others the effort? But the point is rather finally accepting that what others choose to post is out of anyone's control except theirs. That all this encouragement of posters who feel themselves qualified or have the need to post to only pass judgement upon what their fellow posters choose to say or do or to personally abuse them - is causing a bigger problem than letting posters like you decide for themselves. |

We can be given reason to do so, we can be encouraged to do so, we can be goaded into doing so- but the decision to do so remains with US. Have you ever been at a youngsters' ball game of some sort where a parent keeps carping and harping - loudly - on how the coach is performing his job? Within a VERY short time ALL of the people around that parent are sick and tired of the PARENT. The coach is the one designated to do the job. So, if you want to be the coach and not the parent, get your own job. And that's what I have to say about that. |

27 Nov 05 - 05:14 AM (#1614559) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: The Shambles Is there such a organisation as the Constant Riders Under the Double Standard? For I see that many of the usual suspects are again gathered here and blindly and pedantically stumbling around under it for mutual support. I fear the drive on our forum that has seen – what posters say – be overridden by who is saying it, has now reached a critical level. Those posters who are generally considered to be 'nice' can posts the most dangerous things and set the most negative examples and have these ideas supported. And can freely post abusive personal attacks - as long as they are directed at certain easy targets who are considered to deserve such treatment. When those who are not now generally considered to be 'nice, can post requests for equal treatment and freedom of expression for all and have these attacked and be subjected themselves to abusive personal attacks. Even when they do not respond in kind to the many abusive personal attacks they are regulally subject to. All of this when we have anonymous volunteer fellow posters who are supposed to be protecting all posters from this but when some of them also indulge in making these abusive personal attacks. These fellow posters are also supposed to protect all posters from racist posts. Under this double standard - we have just recently seen an example of one the most racist and divisive threads ever started on our forum. Many contributors even commented that this thread was a 'good one'. I rather suspect that what they meant was that the person who started it was a 'nice' person so however uneasy they may have felt about some of what was being said – the 'nice' person saying this things should be supported. And that anyone who posted to disagree with what this 'nice' person was saying – must be truly 'nasty. In some respect it did turn-out after a struggle to be – if not perhaps a good thread – but a better one. Mainly because of the sensible way that those who posted to disagree with the main points conducted themselves and made their arguments. This enabled the dangerous premise of the thread to be turned into a sensible discussion and the double standard to be at least questioned. It's wise to question both your foe and your friend. |

When challenged about particular statements she did not: Endlessly ignore them with no response Insist that she never writes anything that isn't exactly the way it should have been worded Respond by cut and pasting someone's elses post, as proof she is right Whine that she gets no respect 2. She did: Rephrase and clarify some of her statements that were challenged Aknowledge that perhaps some of her opinions were just personal and perhaps (Gasp!) wrong Indicate an openness to reconsidering some of her own opinions And your response to her admission that perhaps her attitude on banjo needed revision? A playground "Nyah, Nyah" attitude, cutting and pasting her sincere admission as further proof that you are right. If all of these qualities in the Racial Non-No's thread make AZIZI "nice" I don't feel so bad about being called "nice." Not that you would ever call me "nice" to my face... Jerry |

01 Dec 05 - 06:06 AM (#1617936) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: The Shambles The question "How would you feel if someone punched you on the nose"? can have very different responses depending upon what has happened before. To the academic perhaps? The pain of the victim is still pain - even if the pain of being punched on the nose was not judged as bad as having one's leg cut-off - and even if some others (not feeling the pain) judged that the victim had somehow deserved such treatment. The victim is hardly likely to agree that they desevered such treatment - especially if they had never indulged in nose-punching. But would this make the act of punching anyone on the nose any less desirable an action for so-called civilised and educated people to indulge in? Is it really an act that should be encouraged because some people may judge that others may have done something to deserve a punch on the nose? Is such confused thinking going to result in more nose punching or less? How are those who are not judged to have deserved such treatment to be protected from also being punched on the nose? How can you ever judge another for nose punching - if you indulge in such things yourself, ever condone or find excuses for it? |

01 Dec 05 - 11:49 PM (#1618229) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: George Papavgeris I will resist the way this thread has strayed from its title, and instead offer a quotation. In response to a fellow folkie from the US's request for advice on where to find music, clubs and sessions during a future visit to the UK: "Subject: RE: English folk clubs & pub singing From: The Shambles - PM Date: 01 Dec 05 - 06:48 AM Perhaps you should write to The Department Of Culture, Media and Sport and ask them? http://www.culture.gov.uk/global/press_notices/archive_2005/dcms166_05.htm?month=November&properties=archive%5F2005%2C%2Fglobal%2Fpress%5Fnotices%2F%2C I am perfectly serious, it would be useful for them to receive such a request and interesting to read their reply." When someone is so focused on him/herself and his/her causes to the exclusion of normal civility; when someone opens numerous new threads under false titles to make his/her points; when someone ignores all advice and instead clutters up and spoils threads; when that same someone wages war on others simply for disagreeing with him/her; then it is time to pull the plug on such a waste of time and space. |

02 Dec 05 - 06:53 AM (#1618351) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: The Shambles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard The following extract from the above. There is a subtle distinction to be made between double standards and hypocricy. The latter implies the acceptance of a single standard, but the disregard of it in practice. A man who believes that he has a right to have extra-marital affairs but his wife does not holds a double standard. A man who condemns all adultery while maintaining a mistress is a hypocrite. Subject: RE: In the UK......? (thread title change complain From: El Greko - PM Date: 12 Aug 05 - 03:48 PM Joe, Shambles is just a hypocrite. Don't elevate him to asshole status. Assholes have their uses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- El Greko also says- When someone is so focused on him/herself and his/her causes to the exclusion of normal civility; when someone opens numerous new threads under false titles to make his/her points; when someone ignores all advice and instead clutters up and spoils threads; when that same someone wages war on others simply for disagreeing with him/her; then it is time to pull the plug on such a waste of time and space. Good job I didn't mention the dirty knife All posters have the choice to respond or ignore what is posted. Is it helpful to encourage the idea that they have some choice over what others choose to post or some right to judge the contributions of others? But what a short memory some posters appear to have? For what judgement would El Greko make of a poster who can go to the lengths of inventing a whole new Mudcat identity to start a thread in which this new identity can argue with themselves and others? Mudcat censorship – a proposal What all of these abusive personal attacks and public judgements simply boil down to – is that a poster holds, expresses and evidences a view that does not appear to be a popular one. And a less than positive response to this seems to be encouraged or tolerated by some posters who should perhaps know better. Perhaps it will be finally accepted that if any view is politely worded – such a view has every right to appear and be discussed civilly on our forum by those who wish to? And those who do not wish to – are perfectly free to ignore any view they wish? When this is finally accepted – perhaps those who are prepared to can be allowed to move on and be permitted to discuss all the issues involved in the selective imposed censorship on our forum – without all of the personally motivated and hysterical static? |

02 Dec 05 - 07:34 AM (#1618382) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: The Shambles Subject: BS: Mudcat censorship - a proposal From: Xanadu - PM Date: 30 Mar 05 - 06:55 AM I have watched the "Censorship on Mudcat" thread with dismay, as more and more attacks were made at Roger (Shambles) and the main issue became clouded. In an attempt to get back to the basics, I am starting this thread with a suggestion for how and when to apply censorship on this forum, using elements of "constitutions" of other forums I attend. Whatever the outcome of this discussion, it need not be applied to Mudcat; that is the prerogative of Max as the forum owner. But at least we can come to some agreement on the direction censorship could take. Here are a few simple rules: 1. Monitoring (and censorship) of threads can be delegated to volunteers, who should be NAMED and announced and should always sign with their Mudcat handle in order to censor or modify or comment on a posting. 2. Ideally such monitors (or "clones" as they are often referred to) should only hold the position for a maximum term of 1 year. 3. The reasoning for any thread closure or post deletion should be announced publicly as a separate thread. This will allow discussion of the reasoning to take place without cluttering the original thread. 4. Legitimate reasons for post deletion can only be: a) potentially libellous statements b) overtly racist remarks 5. Legitimate reasons for amending a post can only be: a) to delete personal information given in a post b) to delete web links to pornographic or racist sites That's it. What do you think? |

I treks off for a few weeks doing thingy-wotsits elsewhere, and when I get back I find that our poor Shambles is yet once more at the middle of another hell-fire controversy : a controversy of which not one bit has in any way been caused by anything he has said, done or written. Sheesh! Why can't you all leave the poor man alone? Dragnabbit! Now I shall have to call a meeting of the DKSS a.s.a.p. and get some help for our poor beleaguered champion of freedom of speech. Don't worry Shambles, we members of the Dirty Knives Secret Society are on your side. (er ... you couldn't possibly spare a few seconds of your extemely precious time to say a few words of encouragement to the members of the DKSS, could you, Shambles old chap? - we are very disappointed that you never turn up to any of our secret meetings ....) |

MUDCAT From: Jeri - PM Date: 12 Dec 05 - 11:34 AM Mooh, I suppose it might be a better place if we all quit reacting to our favorite irritants, whether they're anonymous guests or people slagging anonymous guests, whether they're Mudcat's problems or people commenting on Mudcat's problems, or somebody who's just commenting on All of the Above, as I'm wont to do on occasion. It's just that the threads that seem to inspire the most passion and the greatest number of posts are ones that piss us off. Me too, and I really don't like it when I get caught up in that game. Maybe it was always this way and I never paid much attention to it. I think RiB is right in saying Mudcat's changed. I wouldn't expect it not to. I miss some of what got lost in the process, and I could do without some of what got added, but it is what it is. It's nice though, the Mudcat seems to have gotten out of the morgue and back into the hospital. |

22 Dec 05 - 08:14 PM (#1633397) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: GUEST,Mr Masculinity I usually pee sitting down, Martin, and I am a MAN. That's right. You wanna know why I pee sitting down? Well, it's really simple. As a boy I did what I was instructed to do and peed standing up. I did that for years and years. What happens when you do that is, you frequently spill a few drops on various parts of the toilet where you don't necessarily want them...specially just at the start. It's messy. It finally hit me one day that there was no particular reason for a guy to pee standing up when he has a toilet to sit on. None at all, in fact, except the irrational fear that it "isn't manly". Well, I had to overcome that fear, Martin, and OOOOOH BOY was it TOUGH! I was terrified that someone might think me to be a wuss, not a man, if I peed sitting down....like a girl!!!! Sheesh. The terror. I can't tell you. I decided I had to beat this irrational fear. Finally, one day, I gritted my teeth, dropped my pants, and SAT on the toilet....and peed! Much to my surprise, the skies did not part. No thunderbolt from God came down to fry me. My testicles did not shrivel up and fall off! Nothing bad happened at all. It took several weeks of nervousness before it finally hit me...there IS no reason why a man can't or shouldn't pee sitting down...if there's a toilet available....and it keeps the toilet nice and clean on the seat and outside parts. Less trouble for whoever cleans it. And it's relaxing too. Very soothing to pee sitting down. There are courses in overcoming the fear of peeing sitting down, Martin, and I seriously suggest you take one. You will feel so liberated when you overcome the fear of what others may think. You will discover that your masculinity is still intact. Do it now! And save time on cleaning up afterward. And remember, you CAN still pee standing up when at urinals or outside. |

Just resist the temptation to post to the troll threads, and Mudcat will be a much happier place. You are by far the worst compulsive poster I have ever seen. You have posted over fifty messages in the last twenty-four hours, and there are many days when you post far more than that. There are almost 18,000 messages posted under your registration; and that doesn't count all the anonymous messages you post, or the hundreds I've deleted. While most people can say what they have to say in one message, you post ten. And when you get tired of posting under your own name, you post anonymously. You are the only "regular" Mudcatter who posts anonymously with any frequency. It's high time that you stop. -Joe Offer- |

18 Feb 06 - 06:15 PM (#1672350) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: The Shambles Yes, Bruce, we do allow visitors to drop in and post as Guests. This privilege is supposed to be for visitors, although we do have some people who abuse the privilege. When regular, registered Mudcatters log out and post anonymously, that's outright deception - and the only Mudcatter who does that on a regular basis is Bruce Murdoch. There have been times when I have seen your "Peace" personna post messages arguing with your anonymous personna. It appears that you may even have posted a couple of pro-Nazi messages when the British Nationalists weren't posting enough to keep the argument going. You have no defense, Mr. Murdoch. You have abused Mudcat and taken advantage of the good will of the Mudcat community, and you are not to be trusted. -Joe Offer- |

18 Feb 06 - 06:17 PM (#1672351) Subject: RE: Less Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations From: The Shambles Yes, Mr. Murdoch was warned numerous times, over a period of more than a year. Again, the offense is not simply anonymous posting - it is manipulation caused by anonymous posting, often posting anonymously and as "Peace" in the same thread, within minutes. No, Mudcatters do not have a right to post anonymously when they want to cause trouble. Most Mudcatters don't do it - but Mr. Murdoch does it habitually. In doing so, he has betrayed the trust of the Mudcat community. I resisted the tempatation to "out" Mr. Murdoch's anonymous posts until today, when he started a thread to complain about Mudcat "allowing" Nazi posts - some of which it appears he had posted himself - as "BNP Supportor." Bruce has had a good reputation in the folk community. I can't understand why he has decided to take advantage of Mudcatters by this sort of manipulative behavior. -Joe Offer- |
