Oh.. you mean speaking my mind. Right. Yes I do tend to have to waste my time doing that quite frequently. Probably because people are so apt to think I'll just give up. Difference: I let them know in a post.. not a lame ass thread. What you're doing is stirring up shit, making a bad name for yourself.

Well, on my head be it, I won't be the first, and I certainly won't be the last, I'm quite happy to bear the consequence as many others have done and will do.

I wish I had just let it lie now, judging by the reaction so far. But like I said before, it really grates my nuts to see people who I correspond with on here, over at the other place slating us. Someone was bound to do it and it was me.

I feel strongly about it, and what is this place if it isn't a place where you can air your grievance?

The part about you throwing a girly hissy fit over it.

If you're so concerned about the shit stirring, then quit with the insulting slurs....take a leaf out of your own 'supposed' rule book.

GOD, I love arguing with you.:smile:

I'm just reacting to something that pissed me off, I guess I probably shouldn't have aired it at all. My bad.

And that's so cool davey, I'm just pointing out that there are recent posters on there who use this site too and berate us. Man!

I use both sites and haven't berated anybody who didn't deserve it.
I also do the same thing here,to those, who do deserve it. For the record,I haven't had anything bad to say about either site,to my recollection.
Care to prove otherwise? eddyabs?

And here in lies the problem Eddy. You might be surprised at how many people know about the hate being spewed in one or two threads at the other site. Many of them mentioned by name in the posts and yet they have chosen not to bring the fight to this door. I do not go to that site because all I had heard (until Lex made his post) was that the site was nothing but an LPSG bashing site. The one thread I went over and looked at was one that someone here was upset about because it was slamming them. My advice to them was "if it upsets you that much, no one makes you go look." I do not go because A) I really do not know anyone over there other than members who belong here anyway. B) I joined this site, not that one, C) If people are happy with their lot why rock the boat.

Someone told me this about all the people that go over to the other site and complain:

"I'd rather they do it over there rather than drag all the grief in here."

I am well aware of my perception with certain members of that site and so be it. Again, they don't know me. If people from here are going over and bitching about me there, so be it, they too don't know me. I can only be true to me and in doing so, I am not going to attack someone unless given a reason and I am also not going to go look for one. Cigarbabe has always been cordial and a pleasure to talk to. Think_Kink has been nice to me in the past, but she does speak her mind and stand her ground when she feels she is in the right.

Here is my question to you:

Why be so upset? You know you and the members here are not what is being said, so why bring this up here?

Be bigger than that Eddy, I know you can be. If there are those being genuinely two faced (playing friend here and slanderer there), then so be it. They will eventually hang themselves is my experience, but save yourself the grief. Being judge and jury never got me anything but hated.

This is a battle best let go and we all need to keep the negativity out of this site. As people have said, that thread has the most posts, but it isn't the only post there. Lex put it best:

Lex said:
There is a section on the BD.com specifically set up to discuss issues that people have here that some feel can not be discussed here (Trouble At the Mill--I don't fell that way, mind you) and there is an open forum that does not require registration (Happy Hour, where your mentioned thread is found). This is a section that usually draws trolls and LPSG members who would rather say what they want and remain anonymous. Yes, things are heated in those two sections. I rarely post in Happy Hour because I rather interact with people who have user names.


In the other sections, you may find much of the type of discussion that you seek and or like (or not). As with here--there is a lot of crap and some gems.


And this:


Lex said:
Again, I am not asking anyone to jump ship. I am asking that if you are going to visit, make sure you visit the areas that are designed for more rich discussions (like ETC used to be) and form an opinion of your own.

I have to respect Lex for putting that out there and also understand that as one of the founding lawmakers of LPSG, Lex has a lot of emotion where it comes to LPSG I'm sure.

Emotion isn't bad, channeling it in ways that create tension and anger is.

The issue of trolls here or trolls there, whatever you want to call what this whole thing is has been beaten to death in threads all over this site and they always end up dying because the LPSG devoted lend it no creedence, stop posting, and it is buried beneath all the other non-confrontational posts.

So if you truly like LPSG, take a tip from Cigarbabe and try to keep it peaceful and leave the wars out of it. Not meaning to get on your case, but somewhere this whole us vs. them stuff needs to end, I think you are a big enough member to let that happen Eddy.

Can we get back to the more intellectual and fun things now?

I have no problem with the people on the other site or the people who use the two sites. If something bothers you on the other site why go there? Why stir up unwanted turmoil? They have freedom of speech too. They can say whatever they like. To open up old wounds really wasnt too bright

It's Halloween time, isn't it?

Thank you my friend for reminding me that in 7 days time, I will be expected to dress up in a highlanders great kilt and shirt and hand out candy to kiddies that will be trouncing my lawn to death and throwing wrappers on the flower beds.

WHERE'S MY MARTINI SHAKER?! :biggrin1:

:biggrin1::biggrin1:

I live in an apartment so I don't get the kiddies coming around. I actually wouldn't mind that so much, though. If I lived in a house, I'd make sure to have some candy and keep the porch light on. :smile:

I have Halloween parties to go to this weekend! If all goes as planned, there will be a picture of me wearing my costume in the gallery next week.

I also have a different avatar for now. I love Halloween! :biggrin1:

This again?

Yawn.

FWIW, I rarely participate but often peruse that site, as there are several members there whose posts I enjoy reading and I wasn't fortunate enough to encounter an opportunity to get to know them when they still frequented this board. Most people there probably don't know me, some possibly wouldn't wish to, but there are still some threads and opinions worth reading.

Again about the Other group, huh? From what I've inferrred so far on this post and past posts about this, the place seems to be a whining, bitching place for defectors.
Please let's give this useless crap up and concetrate on some real stuff, huh?

I just had a look, mainly copied threads from this site, some really ugly (as in past LPSG-troll) old faces, and astonishingly some members, same name and avatar as here, cussing all at this site whilst still contributing here! (You know who you are....). You got to give them cred for having the balls (or stupidity) to reveal themselves across board I guess? Excrutiatingly small membership.

The topic thread with the most posts is called 'trouble at the mill'...all about LPSG.

Go figure.....
Err....
Hi and welcome to lpsg. Have fun!:rolleyes: :biggrin1:

I have never been to the other site so i am kind of clueless to what happening there and all this apparent bitching but WHO GIVES A FUCK. Life is to short to be worrying about someone ive never met, and never will meet could be saying about me

Chuck, I don't mean to pick on you, but one of the problems is that people do a lot of inferring and don't even really look at the site-- or look only in the trouble at the mill section or the happy hour section where anyone can post.

I'm not a defector. I've been a member of this forum for over a year and of that one since its inception. I like both. FWIW, I have bitched and moaned about this site over there, specifically, one incident. It was much less destructive than bringing it over here or doing it in PM or IM on this site. It doesn't mean I don't like LPSG. It just meant that I had a forum to vent a specific grievance, which was really nice. I've since gotten over it.

Osiris, you'd be a great addition to that site, as you are here. Eddyabs, I encourage you to participate as well. If you don't like that site, you have two choices-- stay away or help make it better. I'd rather see people do the latter, but that is not my choice. Bitching and moaning about it over here doesn't help either site.

Bitterness is corrosive. Let them all rot in their negativity. I don't even know why this thread is here :rolleyes:. I lack the time, spite or inclination to go to another site and register just to bitch about this site.

And frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Just to clarify a few points. When BD first started the site the "Trouble at Mill" section was the most popular part of the board. If you look at why the site started and who joined (Mostly folks banned from LPSG and those unhappy with it) then negativity was about LPSG was going to figure pretty highly.

That settled down after a while and that particular part of the board doesn't get a great deal of posts now. The latest thread in "Trouble at Mill" was started by someone from LPSG out to stir things up. Hardly fair to blame the folks at "Size matters" for being negative about LPSG is it? I suggest whoever is responsible for that thread reflects on this for a little while.

Great attitude, chuck and scared boy. Someone told you that you should be vitriolic toward "that other site," and you dutifully do so. Bitterness, indeed.

You two, and eddyabs, cannot possibly be missing the delicious irony of this thread (a clone of countless others). You sit here and smugly bitch about the fact that all that goes on "on that other site" is bitching about this site. Hypocritical, and untrue.

Even better irony is that you claim to know what goes on over there, and in the same breath claim you've never visited the site, and won't waste the time and energy to do so.

Yeah, bitterness indeed.
