As Osiris didn't make a goodbye thread let's not make this about trolls or anything, let's just make it affirmative :)

I'll be missing him, he was always calm and tactful on the board, he did disagree with people but it was so calmly said it wasn't often noticed.

Mem...what does that have to do with anything? The man left because he wasnt feeling good about being here. I can FULLY understand that feeling.

I don't know if Arliss causing antagonism recently has anything to do with his leaving, but the timing would lead me to think that it might have.

Ok Mem, some of us have had pm's from Osiris which he said we were to use as we saw fit - so I'll nip your meanderings in the bud, he did not leave because of Arliss, or because of Lafever, he'd stopped having fun here and he had other things demanding his attention. That's all.

Then I hope this issue is receiving consideration amongst the management. The quality of the people is what makes the difference between LPSG and just another porn site claiming to show big dicks.

Ok im sure I'm on several peoples ignore list and troll list. But being the type of person that i am, let me say that not everyone can be an Osiris and roses and pink lemonade all the time. I knew him outside of the board and he carefully constructed his posts to come out that way on purpose. He had strong feelings about people but never posted them. If thats the way some of you want it here, this place would be dead with no diversity at all. Sometimes we have to put up with assheads but some of us do appreciate their not being afraid to swim up stream.

I've posted many times knowing that others werent going to like it. But i think i am right when i say that there are people who appreciate a spirited person who has the guts to say what a lot of people are thinking.

Hell MB chaps my ass all the time and i chap her ass too. But we have a mutual respect for having virtual testicles.

I'm not all for banning everyone who doesnt act the way i think they should act. What makes this board so interesting is the merge of personalities.

If you want everyone to be candy coated- go to church and sit among those kinds of people. I can assure you there was more drama he was directly involved in outside of LPSG. So we can pretend he had angel wings as the LPSG peacemaker but no one is that nice all the time. He is just as human as the rest of us and had his flaws.

So lets quit pretending we'd all be happy if we acted like we werent bothered by anything and seemingly unphased. Some of us are just more vocal about it in public than others. If you got your fancy tickled by it, by all means, but some arent so pulled with the current of caring about what everyone thinks of us at all times.

I refuse to be apologetic for my view on this. And lets quit freaking expecting the mods to be perfect all the time too!

Yes. He had a very calm and soothing way about him. A first class guy.

Most people are curious as to what kind of impact they made. They always go back and read it. I assure you he is very proud of the way the preacher is describing him at his funeral.

I just refuse to be told none of us can say anything other than kind about people who have done some unkind things and leaves when the going gets tough.

He was a class act, but if Notthe comes back so will he. ;)

Unforunately bobabooey,even if notthe7 comes back,Osiris will not.
Yes,he tried tried to see the "good" in areless as he tried to see the good in everyone. He did this without reservation,and was one of the few
who didn't judge people on their past indiscretions.
Osiris was who he said he was, a man with flaws and all too human.
He will be sorely missed,by most.

What would you suggest? Screening new members? I have heard the term "quality" bantered around quite a bit for a while now and it smacks of elitism. Who is to decide what or who is quality here? Yes, for quite a while the board has been experiencing more than its share of nastiness and uncouth behavior. But it has been from both individuals one would classify as "quality" as well as trash. Is nastiness and arrogance more acceptable if every word is spelled correctly and grammar and punctuation followed to the letter? Is bile easier to swallow if it is stated in an intelligent and erudite fashion? I am sure there are many individuals who have passed through this site who would consider themselves "quality" but to others there may be a differing of opinion. Bad behavior has no respecter of persons. I have noticed that a number of our members wish to be accorded the benefit of the doubt for being caustic or abrasive and justify it by saying "That is just how I am" or he or she started it first" but then want others banned for firing back. It can be a tough call...

I think Osiris was one of those rare individuals who even though he may not have agreed with behavor or point of view was able with his sense of graciousness and fair play to listen and give everyone a fair shake. We need more like him. Yes , he could have his fill of bad behavior and would speak out against it but he usually tried to always work with those who would work with him.

Yes, I agree here too. A real class act. There is undoubtedly an art to being able to calmly and respectfully express an opinion, to agree to disagree and do it with the charm and grace that he has repeatedly shown.

I was never so skilled, invariably tending to rub just about everyone the wrong way, at one time or another. Admittedly I probably delight in doing so.

Nevertheless his contributions and the finess with which he always seemed to so skillfully juggle diametrically opposing forces will certainly be missed.

Take care, dude.

Honestly, as much as i cant stand some people and its been obvious. I'll admit sometimes i wish they'd go away, but when they disappear for a few days, I'm kind of at a loss on who to take my anger out on. Just kidding, but honestly, even some of the asses i've faught with have been nice at times to me. They arent entirely mean all the time. I'm not for banning anyone, except for that fucker spamming every 2 mins earlier today.

Whats the use in making everyone walk the plank if they can sneak back on the ship? I'd rather put up with assholes than to not be able to have a voice around here.

Osiris was a true gentleman on and off the board, and I'm honored to count him as a friend.

- - - - - - - - - -

This board has become what it has because of ....???

Maybe people have the idea that just because this is a "cyber space", then it's OK to be rude and in-your-face to people.

But some of us come here to socialize and be amused. Not to "let it all hang out."

I won't be looking back at this thread, so shred my thoughts as you will.
