Just to be clear Jongs, I'm not trying to 'attack' you - certainly not in any injurious way. However I do think you deserve a slap for your recent spamming behaviour (and before you or anyone says it, no Niki doesn't do the same thing).
In other words act like Whozit or PN, and that's how I'll treat you.
It's not personal. It's just war.

HKC:
We're like the stereotype of an Italian family, those of use who've known each other a long time. Yes, there is mean crap said often, and some of it crosses a line.
What I've come to peace with is that most of the mud slinging is between those who willingly and repeatedly climb into the mud pit. I see Rappy and Jongs as folk who get off on the attacks aimed their way, because they do all they can to incite it. So I don't feel bad saying crap to them. I believe they are dishonest as to how they present themselves here. They are artificial personalities. The months and years of insults they've "endured" don't hurt them because the characters they play here aren't real.
On the other hand, Wulf, as much as he drives me nuts, I see as a real person. The crap said to him was indeed beyond the line of acceptable. Because it really does apply.
I've had my own moments of disgust with this place and how we treat each other, but I think I've actually learned a lot from it. There's no other place where I can let go of restraint and tell someone (or some construction) exactly what I think of them. And then I have to deal with the consequences. I can't safely do this in real life.
I value this site as a place to experiment. In RWED I've learned to trust my gut. My gut has very specific things to say about the likes of Rappy and Jongs, among others.
I really do like you and I'm sad that this has been upsetting. I understand. And yet, I make no promises to change. Sorry. As long as these posters continue to act as they do, my reaction is the same:
Whole hearted mockage.

Does all of this conversation mean there is any chance at least SOME of us can back off and make yet another attempt to be somewhat civil? Would be real nice if that were the case; I'm trying, in my way, and I'd absolutely adore some company.
Just a thought, NOTHING MORE.

Jongs made a point of flooding the board with posts he never intended to discuss - not for discussion just for disruption and starting flame wars.
What really pissed me off was when SignyM apologized TO HIM >AFTER HE MADE VILE ACCUSATIONS< about her ...

"That's funny Signy. Feel free to try any time you want. I put up about 50 threads in 3 days. That's 17 per day, which is less than one per hour. But you and I know that's not your real beef. You just hate any opposition to anything you believe. You're the single most intolerant person in the history of this place. You loathe the threads I put up because every title stung you to the bone. In fact, you pretty much hid under your rock the whole time, only occasionally popping your head out to see if the coast was clear.
SignyM
Is that what you really think, Jongsstraw?
Yanno, I have a job. Hubby was REALLY sick the past few weeks, trending into toxic shock. Daughter is brain damaged, and needs more than the average amount of attention. We've had three plumbing problems in one week. AND, I planted my veggie garden (Kind of spur of the moment, but what the hay!) All of this is to say: I have a life, and haven't had all that much time to spend here in the past two months, because when I spend time here I'm probably neglecting something else. I can't POSSIBLY respond to 17 posts in one day. If you had LEFT it at 17 posts, I MIGHT have caught up with it, but responding to all 45 posts??? Are you out of your mind? I can't do it...
Jongdick
I apologize for my words Signy. I can't take them back, but I'd like to. Sorry for your personal troubles. Everything you said had truth in it. I went way over a line that you and I have sort of lived with for a long time. Again, I apologize for it.
Apparently it takes a servile apology to Jongdick after he makes vile statements about you to get into his good graces.
>>> REALLY HKC? <<<
Where was your outrage then?

Vile accusation? Do you remember what HK said to me not too long ago, or am I the only one who remembers? Oh wait, I'm the only one who cares, of course. No outrage on my behalf, only outrage for people who aren't me.
And you know what? Good. Because I don't really need people constantly going after HK and slamming him for me. It's unnecessary. And whatever problems I have with HK is not ANYONE else's problem.
If you think what Jongstraw said to someone else is so bad even after he apologized for it, then ignore him. Don't demand apologies, don't talk to him. Instead of escalating things, calling him "Jongdick". That is just not the way to handle it.
If I can take the higher road after what HK said to me, then so can the rest of you for something like being called "intolerant". I have been called closed minded and intolerant SOOO many times. Been called a coward. Called passive aggressive. Called a stupid kid with no wisdom of my own. Shit, I'm used to it! I even play into what other people think of me now because hell, I might as well!
But do you see me calling for backup when I get insulted? Do you see me going after people to perpetuate insult wars for weeks to months on end that pull in the entire BOARD? I don't have to get people back. I don't have to pepper them with constant insults over a grudge that started years ago. They are not a worthless person because they just offended and insulted me.

BYTE: Whoa there, Bytemite! "People constantly going after HKC" becauz he stood up for you???
Really???
Not me! I have a life to live! I daresay most people do. Please do not be so melodramatic about your role here... or, anywhere, for that matter.
HKC: Jonggstraw has taken two significant deviations here: (1) behaving like a drunken poster (2) posting like a curmudgeonly but even-handed conservative and (3) posting like an irrational drunkard, again. I too have wondered "Whassup with Jongssie?" Not that I think we'll ever find out, but that doesn't make the question any less true.

HK?! Stood up for me?! Hahahahahaha
Hahaha
That's a funny way to put it. Hilarious in fact. He stood up for me so well that I VOWED NEVER TO TALK TO THE GUY AGAIN.
Suffice to say, there is pretty unequal amounts of outrage that I see on display here, tough luck for the less popular board members who have to go it alone. And there is rarely ever rightful outrage on behalf of someone from the opposite side.
But I suppose that no one knows what I'm talking about. So this is kind of an interesting situation. You think that Jongstraw calling someone intolerant and then APOLOGIZING even rates among the worst things anyone has ever said on this board and so it justifies this kind of back and forth?

Quote:Okay, then. Well, at least you get an idea where this board rates on my scale of 1-10! Really BYTE, I kinda like you, but I have no time to keep up with the back-and-forth.

Well, sure. You have friends who can help you.
Those of us black sheep don't have that kind of luxury.

"Do you remember what HK said to me not too long ago, or am I the only one who remembers?"
No, I don't remember. I'm often gone. Aside from that my memory is laughably poor. Do you remember, was I around and posting around that time, or MIA?
"But do you see me calling for backup when I get insulted?"
SignyM didn't 'call for backup' either. I posted this on MY OWN BEHALF to show what I think of his dickness.
BTW - in case no one remembers, let me reiterate once again - I'm not a liberal. I'm not a progressive. I don't claim the moral high ground. I don't even pretend to think about trying to be sweetness and light.
