Major fucking flame wars over there. The sysops have lost control.

It must be the debunker trolls. They're always the ones that cause the problems. They just need to ban a few more people. That always takes care of it.

What is the matter with you people?

Anyone have a private email for Data Junkie?

I was once asked to be a sysop

Cyclops email address

Is it safe?

Since I announced that...

Need an explanation

Manny, thanks for the heads-up.

-- Fanny (double@dip.con), March 29, 2001.


and the reason why we don't want to engage in endless around the clock discussions and arguments about decisions made is right here, this is an example. when that was going on before, back immediately after switching from greenspun to the ezboard, we went through the exact same thing, over and over and over again. cries of "censorship" and blah blah. whizzed off spinoff boards started then, just so folks could go where it was "freer", where they could cuss and flame war and insult directly or through innuendo other posters all day long.

Written by Zog. Interesting.

BTW, Unc, I saw your nice offer on the other board, it looks like some have taken you up on it. Imho, that was very kind.

-- sumer (shh@aol.con), March 30, 2001.


what offer did unk make?

-- (wondering@cloud.campus), March 30, 2001.

This one.

-- (thisone@right.here), March 30, 2001.

He offered those who were interested to come over here and roost if they wanted. Said they are more than welcome to join us.

-- sumer (shh@aol.con), March 30, 2001.

tks!

Selected quotes from folks who have posted on this side of the "pale".

From Unc:

Fascism looks OK while you are on the favored side, but not so keen when the goons come for you.

Gregor:

It was a script written by Kafka, first played by Stalin and now revived.

Gosh, I hope that I don't get Gregor in trouble. He does post there from time to time. Still, looking at my watch, he should be in an isolated village in the jungle of Central America at this time. I can hide before he gets back. I will just remember not to ski down hill from him under an avalanche slope next year. *<)))

I still haven't been banned from posting there, but I've only posted about 4 times there in the past few years. I'm sure I would be if I pointed out that Flint, Decker, Z, as well as some folks who never even posted on TB2000 [like Patricia, Jonathan, etc.] were banned before the forum ever started. They never did anything to violate the rules of engagement. It's still unclear to me why this DataJunkie person got banned. I thought one got three flames before being banned, and she'd never gotten ONE.

I don't have any problem with it. They don't accept government funds. They're a private forum that has every right to make up the rules as they go along. I think what confuses me is what they expect from the members, and the members seem as confused as I.

The New Rules of Engagement on ezboard TB2000, as of 3/28/01

-- David L (bumpkin@dnet.net), March 30, 2001.

And, now I introduce the "New Rules of Engagement of Unk's Wild Wild West"

Rule 1) Pictures of guys eating poop pasted into the body of a thread will be turned into links.

Rule 2) You don't wanna know what rule two is, it's very ugly and unnecessarily mean and cold hearted. Don't break it.

Rule 3)If I can reach out and smack you in the head I will, you rat- bastard. Other than that, please observe rule two.

Thanks for your support, carry on.

-- Uncle Deedah (unkeed@yahoo.com), March 30, 2001.



Uncle Deedah-

I respectfully request you attention to rule #2. I have been in email contact with a number of highly respected members of this forum and we feel that if this rule were to be implemented as written, it would~~~

We interrupt this post to bring you an important message from your Unk's Wild Wild West SYSOP COMMITTEE. [Please kneel]

Let it be known to all---

Comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions pertaining to any rule shall be grounds for severe disciplinary actions; up to and including banishment from the community. The decisions of Unk/SYSOP COMMITTEE are FINAL!!!!!!!! Always remember... WE know better than you. WE know what is best for you. WE DO NOT need your input.

Learn the rules. Abide by the rules. Love the rules.

THE UWWW SYSOP COMMITTEE

Please note: The four paragraphs of "wrong thought" within Mr Costavike's post have been deleted for your protection. Mr Costavike shall receive two flames for his failures to assimilate. [You may now rise.]

~~~In closing, I want to thank your again for your consideration in this very important matter, Unk. We all appreciate it.

Sincerely,

-- CD (costavike@hotmail.com), March 30, 2001.


And don't even think of asking who the sysop committee is.

Whoops, you're thinking about it. Get ready for the flames!!



-- (Secret@Sysop.Committee), March 31, 2001.


Damn CD,ain't we the rowdy one!Please use a little decorum ; )

I'm kinda torn on this one folks,everyone there has known from day one what the policies were and it was allright until it happened to themselves or someone they were tight with.It is only now that the injustice is flagrant and unacceptable,where I come from that's being a hypocrite.

On one hand I want to extend my sympathies,while on the other I want to say"you stupid,ignorant bastards!!! You got what you asked for,live with it"

This ain't about polly/doomer,this is about basic tenet's,why a group of people who are so supposedly freedom oriented allow(ed) themselves to be sold into servitude baffles me.

I was heartened to read Sysman's remarks and am glad to see that Unk extended a gracious invite.

I had not been there sinse I don't remember when but by jove I think I just might be amongst the banned now!!! ROFLMFAO.BTW,just because I can do this on a free board...

Todd Berg.....SUCK MY ASS YOU LITTLE FUCKIN' MODERATIN'WANNA BE BROWN NOSIN' SPINELESS PUSSY,your rules suck too.

-- capnfun (capnfun1@excite.com), March 31, 2001.


Unk and CD...Gawd youse guys...ROTFLMAO!!!

Had coffee in hand and it started sloshing around..I was laffin' so hard..thanks for making my morning..still LOL!

Capn...tell us how you really feel...heh!

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), March 31, 2001.


Well Peg,I was trying to use a lil restraint,sorry I was beatin'around the bush ; )

-- capnfun (capnfun1@excite.com), March 31, 2001.

Rule number 2 is probably this:

"iF yOu DOn'T wAnT tO SUFfeR tHE WRatH oF DieTEr fOr uNECcEsSarY jACkaSSaLry, dON't MAke dIEtEr mOSt aNGry wITH STooPId pOd hUMan dUNCe-es-NEsS"

PS "do not suffer a cascadian lover of death to live"

(can I have a flame for that? Or do I go straight to banning?)

-- Super Fred (FU_Q_Y2kfreaks@hotmail.com), March 31, 2001.


Super Fred?!?!?...LOL!

Here's your flame...no banning here :)

Nice to see ya!

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), March 31, 2001.


Rule #2, um, pleaaaseeee!!!!

I WANT that slap in the head. I NEED to wake up.

BTW, I thought there werent no rulz.

HEy Peg, pass me the flame will you? I mean afterall I DID just question authority.

Reminds me of the song "I fight authority and authority always wins".

hah.

-- sumer (ashhhhhh@aol.con), March 31, 2001.


Capn, since I have been occassionally posting at EZ, does this make me a stupid ignorant bastard too? There are SOME nice folks over there, yknow, who had nothing to do with the bannings and decided to keep posting there because they liked the discussions.

-- (cin@cin.cin), March 31, 2001.

cin, the spinoff one uncle deedah went on and invited all over here is pretty cool imho.

I have nothing against christians. I enjoy lurking there, to be honest. I am glad DJ has alot of support. Now I aint going by way of the chemtrails BS and other crapola. Been to y2k and dont wanna go back. LOL.

-- sumer (shh@aol.con), March 31, 2001.


Cin:

Capn, since I have been occassionally posting at EZ, does this make me a stupid ignorant bastard too?

Of course not, you are our friend. But why did you choose the name Iona. *<)))

By-the-by, that is just a smiley face.

Best Wishes,,,,

-- Z1X4Y7 (Z1X4Y7@aol.com), March 31, 2001.


Cin,my remarks were directed at the people who at the outset defended the bannings and the new "cool" rules and now find themselves on the wrong side of the law.I have no doubt that there are some good people over yonder,though I still for the life of me understand why anyone would stay there,under those circumstances.

Though we all might take a jaunt over there every now and then our primary home is here or elsewhere,so no,I don't consider you an ignorant bastard.Most here would last about as long as I would,during the 1st couple days of its inception and during the banning furor my threads/replies questioning the authorities were locked or deleted,that ain't no way to live.

Sorry if ya got caught in the crossfire,no harm intended.

-- capnfun (capnfun1@excite.com), March 31, 2001.


LOL . . . Iona . . . ! I even know to whom you refer. I had to go over to sleazy to check out some of her posts. I wonder if she's an escapee from Char's Apocalypse Project?

-- kb8 (kb8um8@yahoo.com), March 31, 2001.

Hey who the heck is Iona?

-- (cin@cin.cin), March 31, 2001.

Iona is this nut case who claims to live in Phoenix -- a neighbor of LL? -- and, get this -- the Goddess Venus. Some nut actually established a Goddess Venus account over on the EZBoard system and one of the regular posters hijacked the account -- must've had an easy to guess password -- and entertained readers for the better part of an afternoon spouting off wonderful Goddess nonsense. Most recently, there was a post about GV's views on men. Sorry, I don't have links and I'm not going back there to find any. Heard that they locked the archives because of some "editing."

-- kb8 (kb8um8@yahoo.com), March 31, 2001.

She *channel* the Goddess Venus. Sorry, the alcohol is kicking in and I don't type so good when it does. (hic!) (excuse me........)

CIA ANNOUNCES TODAY THAT AGENT LOST HER "F"

The head of the CIA announced today that their best agent FIONA had lost her "F" and mind. "It's a sad situation when one of your best disinformation agents loses it, like that" Chief Inspector Devli said. When questioned about the welfare of Fiona, he also stated,"She's okay according to our source,known only as GV, she just thinks her name is now iona." Other undisclosed sources were rumored to have said she's taking alot of chances of late. When asked what she would would do without her "F" and mind. She stated "The "F" is going to be a bit of a problem because all my luggage was monogramed but, the mind should be no problem as I've gotten along fine without it up until now". No plans have been made to replace her out in the field.

We will keep you updated as more details become available.

"just so folks could go where it was "freer", where they could cuss and flame war and insult directly or through innuendo other posters all day long." ...

I am just so glad that someone finally figured out what FREEDOM means to me, as I just couldn't hardly wait to arrive here so that I could spend all day cussing, flaming, and insulting everyone (directly or through innuendo.)

Okay. Everybody ready? I'm getting ready to exercise my freedom... hmmm... who shall I target? I'm frothing at the mouth in my excitment over being able to cuss. The drool is soaking the front of my shirt, as I seek someone to insult. Yes! Horns are starting to sprout on the top of my head as I gleefully contemplate who to throw a nice, juicy flame at. Ain't freedom grand?!

Sheesh!

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to extricate yourself from the "bans and locks" of the oppressors... you grab your butt and get the hell out of there! That's Freedom!

Sqrlgrl, you can write the word "shit" and it will appear that way on this board, instead of @#$% or whatever the sleazy filter does.

Now, just because you can use this word does not mean that you should.

Unless you have a good reason.

By the way, why does Edgar Cayce think that Ohio is a "safe place"? could it be that he never visited Lake Erie?

-- kb8 (kb8um8@yahoo.com), April 01, 2001.


kb8,

One of my favorite movie lines is in Jurassic Park, when Jeff Goldblum says (in regards to the scientists), "That's the problem; they we're so busy thinking about "they could", that they didn't stop to think if "they should." (or something like that, I may not have it verbatim.)

Cayce... actually, I'm not a big fan of Mr. Cayce, but a friend of mine is, and has told me that that is why he stays in Ohio. Something to do with its location being among the states least likely to fall off, fall in, fall over, fall through, fall down, etc. LOL

I've never seen Lake Erie, myself. I've been in Ohio for about the past 9 years; before that, I lived in Oregon.

Next month, take a road trip up north to Marble Head and ride the ferry over to Kelly's Island. You're missing some of the most beautiful scenery in this part of the country if you don't.

Just be sure to carry your own bottled water. Ask 'sumer. Just about every place north of Bucyrus has undrinkable water.

ROTFLOMA!!! Why do I always got da crazies aft'ah me? Now I've got this psycho who was like calling my HOUSE, had to change the number! So she's organizing a PM campaign against me cause what's really goin on here is a double-secret divine message which only she can interpret so I must submit to her authority or I will go to hell, as confirmed by what she says is really going on here:

That is God is trying to tell me that I will be banned from heaven, if I do not submit to authority and allow her to dictate my personal life and relationships.

Go figure?

LOL Weeble, the "real" DJ doesn't capitalize the first letters on ez either. What, lack of scripture quotes threw off the integrity of the sign on?
