Classicman has requested voluntary ban

Undertoad · 12-02-2010, 10:35 AM

...until the end of the holidays.

that is all.

Are you going to color code his user title blue, as you've done with someone before, to denote a voluntary ban? The Blue Ban Group is quite popular you know.

I just saw them last month, they are great!

I got ripped off. I THOUGHT I was going to see the Blue Man Group, but it was a cheap imitation: The Blue Boy Group. It was just a bunch of kids wearing shiny blue suits and sporting bad haircuts traipsing around. It was worse than Cirque du Soleil.

Back up a minute...

Yeah really, I would love to see the Cirque live. I love that stuff, thats why I endure Americas Got Talent.

(Fighting Gravity, btw, were awesome!!)

SG and FT3, when I joined there was a thread about the storms then running in the Politics forum.
It seemed to me it was a lot of name-calling, but for the most part I think that has fallen off -- almost completely.
I can still name two Dwellars who can't stop spitting at one another,
but they sometimes do manage to deal with non-personal issues and "facts" in between.

For myself, I joined for the Politics / Current Events discussions, because there did not seem
to be enough liberal counterpoint showing up among those forums.

Others here have their own ideas about what is going on, regarding Classic or others, and who all they find "irritating".
I admit to feeling that Emma was too much for me, and I'm glad there is no evidence of her presence left around anymore.
It bothered me to put her on my first Ignore List, but there was no other way for me to express my disgust.

I'm of a mind that if some number (> 2 ?) of Private Messages or emails were sent to a person,
they should moderate their postings or leave.
Certainly I will, and my email address will always be available to all registered Dwellars.

Lamp - I am a liberal. A European liberal. A bleeding heart European liberal. And a Brit at that.

I hold my hands up that some people's comments/ posts/ opinions have made me retch (okay, not literally) I can deal with that. But the bottom line is I CAN deal with that.

I can take UG's advice in recipes in recipe threads.
I can appreciate Wolf's frankly hilarious set pieces on insects without getting into a row about guns.
I can read Ib's issues about our gender bias and accept RichLevy's Judaism and Sheldon's cockism and Clod's struggle to be a bloody good mother and all that and all and everything.

I don't think any thread can fail because of a lack of political bias.
But I admit I find it difficult to argue politics without a personal bias. As you can see above.

What's better? People like me with more emotion than intellect just shut up? Or get offended and cause rows which move into personal insults?

Ah, I dunno.
Will give up for a while.

Happy Holidays, Classic!

Peace on earth and all that.

skysidhe · 12-02-2010, 11:37 AM

lol

someone just emailed me classics email address.

Why would they do that?

I said, " who is this?" and "I am not contacting anyone."

sheesh creepy business

wolf · 12-02-2010, 11:41 AM

Frankly, I don't understand his request. I'll miss him. I've met classic IRL and he's a good guy.

He's got some shit going on IRL.

skysidhe · 12-02-2010, 11:46 AM

I feel the same wolf. I wanted to say, What? no to the board suicide/goodbye note?
but it might have gotten unwanted comments.

We just have to respect his wishes to be left alone, which makes an unsolicited email offer out of line.

I took a screen capture of the unsolicited email offer, btw.

Shawnee123 · 12-02-2010, 11:53 AM

Someone just told me they guessed I had sent you classic's email. Put that thought out of your mind, those who had it. I really don't care that much, and that's not my style. I tend to do things to people's faces, and I don't fuck with people's personal lives. Try to have it tracked, if you wish, or start an accusation list so that we can methodically figure out who your culprit is.

A new Cellar Field of 64, perhaps?

'Course, maybe he sent it himself?
