a) I don't blame you for never looking in a mirror.

b) A perusal of your brief post history shows that you are in fact a troll, and strongly suggests that you earned whatever discipline you received.

c) You may be more successful in life if you don't learn your ethical code from Spiderman movies.

Matthew, HOT avatar!!!!

Sorry for the threadjack.

Now, back to our regular scheduled programming.

I believe your point to be seriously misguided.
There's no secret mission. No smoke and mirrors...

In that Thread, I said that I didn't agree with what they clan believed in.
I said that I admired their ability to organize and shout out for what they believed in. That doesn't make me a Klansman, or a supporter of their cause.

I know what you said, is in the link. Read my posts, where did i call you klansman? I called you xenophobic, not racist.

Same as I admire how Martin Luther King organized african americans.
Same as how Gay And Lesbian speakers can organize people and shout out for what they believe in...
Same as how Matthew Shephards family organized a website and started a nationwide shout out campaign.
The power of one person or a small group to make a change in the world.

I'm not here to make campaigns other than to support this place.

Maybe you aren´t here to that, but i think you are doing it.

Most of us get the point, but sadly I think you totally missed it again, and took it out of context.

That thread was from a discussion of what people thought about the Illegal Immigrant situation here in the United States. I don't know the financial situation living in Spain, but I would imagine that you could not understand the frustration or pain that the U.S. low to middle class citizens face on a daily basis. (Thats born americans or tax paying legal immigrants regardless of race)

I can assure you that the illegal inmigration situation is probably worse in Spain than in the USA. I know the problems that it carries on. The social situation in Spain is pretty tense. The extreme right is growing up fastly because of it. And many people supports it with comments and attitudes like yours. I don´t know about the US exact situation. I know what you type.

Do you know why I have made friends here?
Because I SUPPORT many different people across the country, and also have friends overseas in foreign countries. (suprise suprise).
I Support this board because I believe in its function and mission.
I support mostly everyone on this board because I admire their wit, intelligence, intellect, and Vast amount of knowledge.
Sure, there are folks here that don't agree with me, or probably hate my guts. But that's ok! That's their opinion.
I contribute to threads that I have knowledge on and assist where I can.
Ive been a member of this board for a long while. I only have near 1000 posts because I try to contribute halfway decent advice, and answers.

I find really fine that you have lots of friends here. I don´t think you are the evilness made flesh. But i don´t like you. I´m firmly convinced of what i have said.

What do you want? An "I'm sorry?"
Ok. I'm sorry. Happy?

Kidding? I´m sorry is what i said on the chatroom, but it was not enough for you. What do you want is what i asked you in my first post, my second post was the answer. I don´t want your sorrow. I´m not happy. Should i be?

Now that I've apologized, go ahead and cut up other members that left the chat because of the language barrier.

Those members, if they exist, haven´t openned a thread; you do. And at the moment you open a thread telling "your version" of a real fact, you must be ready to be answered.

Your on the fast track for making "Lots" of friends.

I don´t know if i am going to make a lot of friends, i just know that i don´t want any friend like you. And if the whole board is like you, make sure that i will not want a friend on here.

Anyway, my life is too short to waste it fighting with you. You are free to be how or whatever you want, and to think about me whatever you want, too. I have typed what i think, i have no need to repeat it or correct it.

Be well.

For Lex:

Yes, i feel defensive. I have repeated a lot of times that my english is really poor. It is a hard effort for me to understand the texts and answer. I´m not looking for recognitions or gratitudes or compassion. I´m here because i want to, and i type english because i want to too. But it is really hurtful when doing that way, somebody open a thread to complain because you have spoken spanish for a while. Someone could tell me that i have to go ahead and ignore the critics if i am right with what i do. But i cannot. I´m not that way. I have left a Spain´s board after my first fight (about xenophobia), and this is my third one on here. I don´t like to fight. For that i have the real life, everyday, every minute. Here i just look for entertainment, fun and knowledge, and, above all, good moments. I don´t want to have any body on my ignored list, and i don´t want to have the feeling that i got to defend myself.

Knocker, fuck 'em and come back to chat. You're more than welcome and speak whatever language you want.

Ignore the comments about what is considered rude in "European society" -- this board does not run on any one region's norms.

Rofl, interesting take you have there. I was in Chat that entire time and I seem to recall you verbally abusing more than one person. More than one person LEFT the chat area simply because you were there. You were nasty, obnoxious, and trying to push anybody and everybody's buttons. Not to mention repeadedly trying to goad Gillette and laughing at her when you thought she had no ability to punish you. Sorry Larry...but you were offensive to many and That IS reason to give the kick...is it not?

Teflon

Not true, Donny Boy.

First off, I never doubted that Gillette could kick me out. Why would I not believe her? I am aware that a number of people here have moderator status. I was never goading her to do anything. I simply asked her to speak to me respectfully, and not talk down to me ("Are we clear?") like I'm her 5-year-old child.

While I have been known to make irreverent and controversial statements, I was not attacking anyone except one particular individual who was clearly starting up with me unprovoked.

I agree with Hung Muscle's take on the whole chat thing. People need to stop taking it so seriously, and just sit back and enjoy the ride there. Chat bans and silences should only be used in the most extreme situations, rather than as an ego trip for mods or a way to keep anything interesting or slightly controversial out of the room. As I said before, we are all adults here, so let's act like we don't need high school hall monitors watching our every move.

Your answer is arguably the most retarded thing I've ever seen.

Chat mods are not God. We are all adults here. I do not see the need to kiss ass to the chat moderators, nor should they have the right to treat me like a child that they can scold and threaten.

And if I'm going to be kicked out for responding to someone attacking me, then the original attacker also needs to be kicked out. That did not happen in this case, because the other party appeared to be a friend of Gillette's. That, my friend, is abuse of power.

I am not a troll, and I'm not interested in ruining the chat or attacking people there. The mods need to exercise some restraint in who they ban and why.
The mods have been under pressure from some members for allowing attacks to go on in the chat. I wasn't there to see what happened but here is typically what goes down in chat if what you say is true.

Attacker: You're a poopy head!
Defender (You): Nuh uh! You're a doody head!
*Mod knowing this will get out of hand and wanting to prevent that*
Mod to Attacker: If you want to argue or call someone something do so in a private message.
Mod to Defender: While I don't encourage it but if you must retaliate with comments of your own, keep it in private messages. I suggest you just Ignore Attacker and move on.

If one or both of them ignore my requests they get a 5-15 minute time out Silenced in the chat, during which that time I'll calmly explain to them what I did and why. Yes its only a chat room on a website, but out of respect for the majority of the members who want to actually chat and not get mixed up in a senseless name calling fight we will silence you for a couple minutes to cool you down.

Stop and think, is that really a power trip? We were made mods to ease the flow of things on this board, whether it be the threads or the chat room. I don't know about other mods but when I enter the chat its not to catch someone doing something wrong or get all psyched up to police people. I'm there as a fellow member to talk to people, but if I do see something happening I will intervene. Much like an off-duty police officer will intervene if possible to stop a crime.

Again, assaulting someone with comments isn't a crime, but its annoying and no one wants to see it in public chat. Keep it to PMs.

And if I'm going to be kicked out for responding to someone attacking me, then the original attacker also needs to be kicked out.
Not true, if someone attacks you but they listen to the request to stop or keep it in PMs there is no reason to kick them. Unless of course the particular things they're saying call for that. I wasn't there last night but numerous other members seem to recall you assaulting various members, I trust Gillette's judgement in kicking only you.

Hello (Sud-Ouest, Burkina Faso)

No Response
I5) I don't know if it's possible but, I really think you should be required to fill out your profile before entering Chat.
a) As a woman with both pics and a profile posted being approached by a man via Chat IM with neither posted feels a bit like I am being stalked. It's CREEPY!!! It's creepy in that, "the call is coming from inside the house way." I know the ladies know what I mean.




You are so organized! :smile:

I will never. Ever. EVER! Post anything in my profile here again. Ever. I have always used the chat more than the boards as I have no real interest in most penises or their issues. I am interested in the environment cultivated here, however. I don't get along with most women, and am usually the lone chick surrounded by dudes. But here, I have been able to meet the kind of women I can easily get along with ironic as that is. If I were ever to attempt to log in and be prompted to fill out my profile, I'd abandon ship, and be kinda sad to have to do so.

I used to post under a different name. I had photos, a full profile, and a signature. I didn't like the way many men treated me when that was the case. Now, only men who get to know me talk to me, and I never feel unpleasantly objectified. If it means new people are reluctant to get to know me, so be it. I have more than a year and roughly two thousand posts behind me. While I remain open to new experiences, I'll certainly never run out of people to talk to here.

I'm just offering you an alternative perspective.

If he is from Indio, that explains a lot, and I feel sorry for him.

Thanks for the ignorant comment.

Let me guess... you think that most people from Indio are poor and uneducated, so you're now looking down upon me (and the rest of Indio) because we are not as wealthy and cultured as you are, right?

I actually own several businesses here in Indio. I prefer to be close to them and actively manage what goes on. I bought a rather large piece of property here and had a custom home built. I could live in Los Angeles, San Diego, whatever... but I choose to live here because this spot makes sense for what I do and what I own.

Don't feel sorry for me. Sounds like you'd be better off feeling sorry for yourself.

And you know that I feel that it is a fucking shame that you had to do this to garner the widespread respect from men that you deserve.

You're always nice to have in the chat room Altered Ego, posting pics is fun and I'm sorry you feel you can't participate in this any more - unfortunately a few arseholes can ruin the net for someone. I wish some people would try to remember it's a person they're talking to not a pussy/cock.

I conduct myself as if i were in a real room and people are in conversation.
Words of wisdom.

Lex I don't know how up to speed you are on all the happenings in the chat in the last month. I don't even recall ever seeing you in the chat lately, but perhaps we just keep different hours. I'm always on later at night. This all pretty much started because of Ray6955 causing drama in the chat, getting banned and continuing to come back under a new name every single day after each other one gets banned.

Prior to his banning, the mods came under attack for "not policing the chat" and letting it go wild on there. As soon as it was discovered that he was primarily responsible, he was banned and all the members who cried not enough was done turned and said we're too harsh because he was a friend of theirs. Thats just one example.

To clarify, I was not talking about Ray. I was talking about the fact that I liek some people whom a lot of people dislike.

I did not care that much for Ray.

3) The most disruptive and disturbing thing for me was the eternal battle of "Ray Haters vs. Alleged Ray Lovers" This nasty battle went on for at least an hour maybe more.

Well, the Ray6955 aka ClydeS problem is over for now... until he comes back with a new identity. I hear he rejoined the site again, so if any newbie starts causing trouble in chat then we'll know who it is.
