Re: All the Trolls in the house raise your hands.

A lot of legalism up in hurr up in hurr ya'll gun make me lose my mind up in hurr up in hurr.

Truth is - most everyone here would probably have a great time together over a couple beers - so why not keep things chill. I think everyone knows what chill is right? I think married members aren't into hanging out with ppl with a lot of unchecked and/or misdirected aggression either. Which there seems to be pockets of every now and then. We are a very diverse group - there's going to be loads of miscommunication - that's normal. At the end of the day I like you all - even the members I've had pissing contest arguments with. Ultimately there is a section here for almost everyone. I'd say hangout in the section that suits your purpose for being here if you can't play nice with others in the other sections.

Nice to see someone taking advantage of the 5 hour editing window

You shouldn't have deleted your post Feather, other than taking sides, you hit the nail on the head as far running a board / moderating goes.

Re: All the Trolls in the house raise your hands.

I think it's a real shame all this has come to pass. MS was a revelation for me back in the day - all the quality tunage, the quality people, the drunken postings (after one too many scotch). I remember when my little girl was born 3 years back, I was touched by all the good will coming my way....

We did have the crack some time back, I mean all of us

Re: All the Trolls in the house raise your hands.

kamal, you're going about this in the wrong way. you should encourage everyone to voice their opinion regardless whether you agree with it or not. i think we're all mature enough to accept or reject someone's online posting

note i don't post much here anymore because someone kept deleting my posts. but after reading various threads lately, it sounds like other users are experiencing the same treatment. that's very unfortunate for a board of open minded people...

I expect responses like this from those not in the know. I am open minded, I'm open minded to the point that it wasn't me who did the initial banning but it was me who DID unban them, because I don't believe in booting people. But if inciting repeated negativity on the board to create an overall bad taste in EVERY discussion becomes a norm even after being told that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it, yet expect a red carpet treatment, then I'm sorry, I have to become an asshole.

This is what has been happening even AFTER I told Bob I had NOTHING to do with his banning the first time around, but here we are again, bickering about it. I tried not to make a public mockery of it by PMing him but that was too much of a medium for him to continue.

Honestly, the forum isn't what it used to be, but then again, online forums don't hold the same charm. The Social Media landscape has changed and I don't expect MS to stay alive much longer. I have, much like everyone else, formed close friendships with a lot of people we have met on here. Some of them no longer have the time to come on here because of kids, jobs, changing tastes in music, age etc., others that do just want to share a few laughs and leave even though kids, job, changing tastes in music, etc. are in the picture. I for one am one of those. I don't want to come here to experience incessant negativity all the time, even if it means that freedom of thought is restricted.

I don't beg people to come here, but I do appreciate if those who do, keep a peaceful environment and not create unnecessary tension. If you don't like the rules, there are troll boards apenty on the WWW, take your pick.

This just isn't one of them.

Re: All the Trolls in the house raise your hands.

^^^ That is easy to say if you weren't one of the ones arbitrarily banned The arbitrarily was the issue for me. But you see it didn't stop then .We had to watch as it was claimed we were warned and given a reason and then not being in a position to defend ourselves, even from the snide remarks of other members. It niggles just a tad. The only correspondence I received was months into the ban from Kamal telling me I was no longer banned . I just can't see MS in the same rosy way I did a couple of years ago. I used to love this place. Now I have put it out in the open, as far as I am concerned it is resolved. I didn't take the same route as some others re reregistering, but I definitely understand why they did.

You know DiDi, for someone who openly professes her disdain for this place, you sure stick around to bitch a whole lot and incite the crowd. And with all the "intelligence" that you portray on the boards, it amazes me that you present the same ridiculous question again and again.

Well just for the record and so that EVERYONE now knows (since you like bellowing it out in the open) and despite you guys being warned repeatedly about it, I'll tell you AGAIN why you and Bob were banned.

Because you and your little troupe have a phenomenal way to CONSISTENTLY ruin threads with your negative opinions. When it initially started, it was all shits-and-giggles until it became more of a habit than anything, whereafter, you were both warned about it because every interesting thread was being turned to shit by the two of you. But this train of a warning steam-rolled right past you both and you continued to ruin all the interesting threads.

The most recent ones that jump to mind (which I was personally involved in) are the last London Olympics thread and the Mars thread about Nasa spending a whole lot of money to go there.

Funny that despite the warnings, conversations continued to get sidetracked and your little puppy in a handbag blindly followed suit right away. Individually (as it was becoming increasingly apparent), neither of you had a teaspoon worth of meaningful opinion to contribute, but jointly, its the Soviet Union of Trolls United. Where do you guys get together to decide how to jointly make the next strike?

And if you post again WHY you were so-called "arbitrarily" banned, then either you're hiding behind stupidity, just to continue to stir the boards, or you seriously are a ton of bricks and perhaps a permanent banning is the best solution for you both because since the place has already gone to hell (as you both seem to constantly complain about), I'd rather it go to hell knowing I won't have to have this conversation again.

Maybe risking stating the obvious but all the other reactions you've quoted there came after you threw your toys out of the pram, so maybe not such a valid comparison.

What a big deal you've turned this into.All I asked was why I was banned. And I get a PM threatening a permanent ban. It's fuckin weird tbh

Rather than remove the ban I was hoping you'd have the balls to explain why you banned me in the first place but hey ho, we all expect too much of others from time to time.

Mike, I explained to you very specifically in my PM why this would be a permanent ban. You were very worried about my missing "balls" earlier in the thread and why I didn't have the courage to PM you directly why you were banned. Well I did.

And it's also clear as daylight you HAVE sprouted a vag because not only did you not have the courage to reply to me, JUST as I told you in my PM, it is sickeningly lame you have to depend on a woman to be the man that you show yourself to be and bring up my PM on the boards to come at me.

You're quiet until Didi posts and no sooner does she bring up my name, you're next in line waiting to dish out your two-bits. Grow the fuck up. Seriously. This is the last warning to you both because despite me sending you that PM, you're doing EXACTLY what I PMed you to refrain from doing.
