I screwd up

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Earlier today in a post (now deleted) I misidentified another forum with facts that belong to a third forum. It was a simple case of mistaken idenity and I regret any difficulties I caused by misquoting a name.

Thank you.

I now know what the vampire felt like as the villagers advanced with torches and farm implements. I was going to go to BTS and try to put out fires there but they have disappeared from my "Lusenet" list, and that is the only way I know to enter there, any body know a back door method? Thank you for holstering those pitchforks!

I told 'em I could find you, mitch! Skippy's crying in his peanut butter and the rest of boys are on strike until you get back. C'mon back, dear, before we run out of teacakes. :)

Hey Mitch, I just tried to get to BTS, and it's been password protected. However, there's an email address for the moderator. I just sent Jim an email asking how to get a password. The password page is at

Hope this works for you.

Well, this strange I was just at the BTS forum and it is not password protected. Maybe it is just your link to it Mitch. If you want I will e-mail a link,Daryll

-- Daryll (twincrk@hotmail.com), July 13, 2001.

Please don't everyone bombard Jim. You are just going to make things worse. Just let this thing go and act like adults. What is going on at BTS isn't everyone's business, and it is because of this crap that we need a password. Let it go. Talk about homesteading for a change!

-- Cindy in KY (solidrockranch@msn.com), July 13, 2001.

Yes Daryll, if you would. I basicly stated a fact about another forum but misidentified BTS as the point of origion; I have placed apologie here but cannot get in to speak with BTS people.

-- mitch hearn (moopups1@aol.com), July 13, 2001.


Mitch, don't worry, Joy posted a link to your apology, so no need to get in and say anything right now. Let it go please.

-- Cindy in KY (solidrockranch@msn.com), July 13, 2001.

CindyI did not start the ruckus, the two threads that are titled "Introducing ourselves" and "Shame on you" are the cause that there is a ruckus. I made an idenity mistake about BTS being the point of origan for facts that belong to a third forum.

-- mitch hearn (moopups1@aol.com), July 13, 2001.

mitch dear, get a grip!!! What you said was inappropriate for EITHER forum. We all know you didn't mean BTS THIS time............but IMHO what will you find wrong with us?????????????????

-- diane (gardiacaprines@yahoo.com), July 13, 2001.

Please just let it go Mitch. I read your post, and you were way off base pertaining to either of the other forums. You show me where the Freedom forum was talking about this! They weren't either! It was just to start trouble again. It was a big fat lie and now you're lying about the Freedom forum and it is just being done to bring attention on yourself! Now you apologized so let it go.

-- Cindy in KY (solidrockranch@msn.com), July 13, 2001.

Oh Mitch, NOW you need to apologize to the Freedom Forum too dear! You got one more forum to blame it on before you run out!

-- Cindy in KY (solidrockranch@msn.com), July 13, 2001.


Cindy, click it over there and read (remember their new threads are on the bottom)"Salvaging into archives site" posted 12 July by "ducky" (duxinarow@yahoo.com) and then come back and accuse me of lieing again, bring a healthy portion of crow.

-- mitch hearn (moopups1@aol.com), July 13, 2001.

You accused us and then them of 3 things, Mitch. Why don't you just re-post it so everyone can see.

-- Cindy in KY (solidrockranch@msn.com), July 13, 2001.

And why dear Mitch, would you slam a forum in which you are on the "Active Contributors" list?? This just keeps digging you in deeper. You had better let it go now.

Cindy, did you find the mentioned text as per above address and thread? You left that part out of your last post. You have accused me of lieing, I gave you proof of what is fact to back up what was said. Are you backpeddling?

The threads titled "Introducing ourselves" and "Shame on all of you" are the causes of the static, have you read them yet? I commented this morning about "getting a lot of milage from a few keystrokes" meaning I thought there was too much reaction to the threads in that this forum was in an uproar last night about these threads. I read accuzations by people stating that they knew who was posting false threads. About halfway down in one of the threads there was referance to the man who moderates the BTS forum, whom then returned his opinion.

Emotions were high due to the two threads and when I stated this morning that maybe we were being sidetracted on purpose all kinds of stuff broke loose, so Dave deleted it all which is the correct thing to do in his opinion. Fine.

Thirdly, I stated that BTS was still salvaging from the archives; this is where I made the mistake of idenity. Its FSR forum who are still talking about salvaging, I appoligezed and retracted here and could not get back into BTS to apoligize due to the fact that they have dissapered from my Lusenet list.

Accusing someone of lying in a public place or in print is slander.The post about salvaging is there; will you acknowledge this?

Oy vey!

Mitch, I may disagree with Doreen on a lot of things but I still like and respect her. You made some cheap shots and you need to apologize to them also. I don't know who all read your post this morning but I know one thing. There is NO competition between the forums on who is bigger like you stated. Our differences are idealogical. Their may be some individual posters who get their mouths in bad places but we post back and for frequently on some issues. No, you are not the cause of the password protection of BTS, but this would be one good one as far as I am concerned.

Film at eleven...

"I stated this morning that maybe we were being sidetracted on purpose."

Your own words, Mitch. Do you think that Freedom was sidetracking CS on purpose now? Where's the proof of that? That's an accusation. Do you think Freedom is jealous cause they are not the "Top Forum"? Big deal, the thread about salvaging has BEEN there for weeks now, where have you been? They are making an archive site for them, not putting them on their own site. That had nothing to do with this at all.

Of course I read the THREE threads. I followed them from the START. Just because I didn't jump in there dosen't mean I don't know anything. BTS had absolutely nothing to do with either of them and you know it. And NEITHER did Freedom.
