Are you a big shot in The Cellar?

[SteveBsjb]

No need for every new user to start a fun and silly poll like this, if there is one thread started already, that we can all chat on.

And yes, I meant "exhaustive", Ms. Roget.

Why does this poll bother you so much? It's just one fun post, I don't go running into your threads to bother you or tell you how to post here. Maybe I should. Maybe you should lighten up.

Obviously reading all of anything is exhaustive. I thought perhaps your sentence had meaning. My mistake.

As far as "so much", it only bothered me enough to comment on...as to "why", it's probably the attitude, presumptions and passive-agressive tone behind the framing of it.

After all, my comment is "just one fun post". "Why does it bother you so much?" :-)

I'm sure the kids with spray paint in the city think graffitti is "fun" too.

[SteveBsjb]

Your comment bothers me because you are trying to tell me how to post. My post is a joke; a lot of people played along, voted and weren't bothered by it.

Did you know that there are graffitti artists that get paid for their work now? To decorate buildings, in advertizing, in the music industry, and in other areas?

I think someday I may be considered a Clone Thread Artist.

Obviously.

So why not do it on a "building" where it's considered art, rather than an annoyance? If you find "a lot of people played along" to be validating, then perhaps you'll consider integrating some negative feedback as well. And do let us know if you find somebody to pay you for creating clone threads.

Graffiti artists who achieve professional status do so by exhibiting artistry. If you're interested in the work of people who have demonstrated artististy in a single line of text, check out the work of Ashley Brilliant. Of course if you're only fascinated by the sound of your own voice, you won't have time for that.

It would be..."too exhaustive".

[SteveBsjb]

Oooh, you cut so deep. Touche, mon pussy cat.

[Cheyenne]

"So it was "like that". My sympathies."


No sympathies needed maggie although I acknowledge your sarcasm. We at AG are there because we choose to be. We were there in its heyday and will prolly be there until Michael closes it. Which won’t be soon.

Do you think we know nothing else? I belong to two Thoroughbred sites and a few Native American boards. AG is our home base. If you don’t understand or like it and wish to put us down for it then perhaps you need to search your inner self for the acceptance of others. If you were able to make a name at AG you would be more than welcome to make any kind of thread you like.

If you do not like Steve’s threads, avoid them. In the mean time when you post in them not only are you acknowledging them but also you are keeping them at the top.

I'm noticing this common theme, from all the individual people who frequent the AG board, that top=good. Is that fairly common on other boards? Is it true here? I never made that association.

Is it true on AG even when all the responses are negative?

Really the common theme is: "If you want to see a thread (or type of thread) disappear, don't post on it."

If you see clone threads you don't like or bumped threads you don't like or threads that seem ridiculous to you, just assume you don't get the joke, and skip over it.

This is really stupid. This place has been here a dozen years and you want to post a New Rules sign. Seriously, I'm from NY too. And, yea, I gotta problm wit dat.

You bump treads here mutha fucka and my cousins Carmine and Joey go ova and break ya friggin wrists, ya gaba dusta. Then let's see'ya type.

[SteveBsjb]

Rock, I will post how I like. I am not posting to bother, annoy or anger anyone. If you don't like it, I don't know what to tell you. Here are your choices:

A) There is an ignore feature.
B) You can just ignore me without the feature.
C) You can continue to post against me.
D) You can petition to get me banned.

I suppose only choice D will work.

This thread was a joke, and some people get it, some don't.

And, no, if most people here don't get my jokes, I won't leave.

Nice try with the jokey mobster/Italian American style threat. That makes us even; my humor isn't funny to you, and this "joke" isn't funny to me.

So folks who don't agree should just shut up? I don't think so. (Besides...this isn't a clone thread. :-))

Nor does recent activity indicate anything but recency. If the AG style is to be hypnotized by site stats, then no wonder quantity is valued over quality and everything flushes through there in minutes like shit through a shark. Like a crowded room where everybody jabbers at once, and eventually everybody is screaming to be heard.

pretty astute
or maybe I am confusing two eyes with astute but no matter.



-----------------------------------------------------------------

I think when I am in another persons home you do as they do. It is a matter of respecting an established tradition of the place.

Without looking like I am trying to argue or attack I'll try to phrase questions generally.

I think we should ask,Why am I here? Why are you here?

I am here because there are threads with content and depth.

I find humor.

I find kindness and smarts.

Why would I want to be defiant to a host site? I don't because I found something I like. I want to keep it like I found it.

Why do you guys want to be here?

Why do you want to disrespect the host site?

Why do you only want to post in a style the takes away from and dosn't add to it's uniqueness?

I am sure you have something funny or intriguging to contribute right?

I am having to rethink AGAIN just who exactly was the aggessors and the defenders. What I am witnessing reaffirms to me a mindset I've had all along. I am again disappointed. The majority rule just dosn't transfer. The lack of respect is no less appaling than it was before.

I hope I have grown up and changed for the better. I would think that after a year others would be in a more mature place within themselves as well.

[SteveBsjb]

Yeah, 2469!

[Cheyenne]

or... 6942

[skysidhe]

Steve's actually a smarter thread maker and a usually nuetral nice guy on the surface.

I think cheyenne is a cut above. In fact I don't understand the association.




Not that I agree with what she said. She just said it with such tact and beauty.

It's like pouring fine wine in a cheap bottle or is that pouring cheap wine in a fine bottle?
