Maybe it's british.

nice try.

arse is, though. as in, talking out your....

Well.

After creating an original and compelling thread, one is always gratified to see a spirited response from the community for which it was intended.

Of course, only the Giants<sup>&trade;</sup> among us will understand what I'm talking about; most of the Tards<sup>&trade;</sup> will never be able to experience the sensation. Sad, really.

Where did I say that?

For some things, there's NEVER a time or place.

Three-quarters of the responses in this thread have been people chattering about what HB said. Problem is, HB didn't say most of the things that people are complaining about. Most of the Tards<sup>&trade;</sup> who have responded in this thread aren't interested in addressing the point I was trying to make; they're just offended that somebody might dare take them to task for posting crap.

Well ya know what? To hell with them, and all the rest of the Lowest Common Denominator. They're the same people who are to blame for 'reality TV,' Ebonics, and warning labels that read "Do not use toaster in or around a bathtub."

The law says that I have to send my kids to school with their kids. And I have to sit next to them in restaurants. That's okay. But I don't have to tolerate their behavior here, and I won't. So if I see Tards<sup>&trade;</sup> drawing a mustache on our copy of "The Flaying of Marsysas," or tethering a goat in the flower bed next to Current Events, or trying to leave their '75 Gremlin up on blocks in front of Home Base, I'm gonna call 'em on it.

This shit has been going on -and getting worse- for over a year. Enough.

This ain't a chatroom, you know. I'll respond when I have a chance. If that's not quick enough for you, too bad. Deal with it. I don't have as much free time as... some people.

That's just it: YOU'RE NOT standing in a room talking to folks.

If I were sitting on a toilet, I'd probably take a shit. But if I'm sitting in a crowded theater, I probably won't. You really oughta learn to be more aware of your surroundings.

it wouldnt even bother me if he had pointed to a particular instance of ;chaffing; and said, " hey, put some freaking thought into a post before you post it" or even saying to one person in particular that they are chatting too much. but to comment on the general malaise he feels and in a way that creates apprehension in some users to post at all for fear of being talked down to.....?

I kept it as general as possible precisely to avoid pointing fingers at specific people.

But since you bring it up, Jim... you -and a few others- post too damn much, and much of what you post isn't very interesting. So I'd appreciate it if you'd rein it in a little.

There. Is that a more acceptable way of dealing with chaff?

Really?!? Wow. That's mighty generous of you, Jim. But I think I prefer to impose my own outdated standards on the community as a whole. But you also have a standing offer to download AOL Instant Messenger, and ROFL with others unimpeded. I think people would respect that. I know I would.

Whats wrong with a bit of levity? now and again even in a serious post a smart or funny comment can enhance the argument or position you are trying to put across.

Huh? Where the hell did that come from? Please show me where I suggested that there's anything wrong with humor. Heck, I've even been known to inject a little humor into my own posts from time to time.

Important safety tip: Read first, then respond.

Yep. Ain't much there. I tend not to post when I don't have anything to say. You should try it.

I think it would be safe to say, HB, that the Cellar is no longer the place you knew, and it never will be again. But it is still enjoyable and valuable to the people who spend some of their time here. You haven't been an actively participating member lately, so any clout you may have possesed has largely evaporated. Lumberjim is a well-liked, respected member of this community, and from your recent posts, you're coming off as a crotchety, conceited whiner who stumbles in from time to time, and who is about as much fun as a carpet burn to the groin.

I'd take ONE of Lumberjim's posts over a dozen of yours. And I don't think I'm the minority. So, you can A) adapt to the community and be happy, B) continue whining and be ignored, or C) find someplace else to be intellectualy stimulated (and rest assured that whatever smarmy comeback you may imagine to be clever regarding the "intellectually stimulated" bit is painfully predictable and unfunny).

You like blunt? There it is.

edit: fixed a spelling error

OnyxCougar 07-01-2004 01:22 PM

The bottom line here is that you don't make the call who posts what. Trying to belittle or categorize people into groups isn't going to bring about your desired effect. In fact, it just may have the opposite effect.


lumberjim 07-01-2004 01:27 PM

HubrisBoy,

I feel your pain. no, wait. I don't .......that was gas.

Listen, I'd like it if you posted more. You're pretty damn funny and smart, and your smile is amazing. If you can get your average up over 5 per day ( starting today, 7/1) I'll keep mine under 10. sound fair?

and thanks, H_P. That means more coming from you than it would from most people. ~sniff~ I promised my self I wouldn't cry. ~sniff~ Damn. I'm ok, I'm ok. let me just get my self together here aminute. ~sniff~

yeah, ok. so, ehem.....I love you guys. ~sniff~

Beestie 07-01-2004 02:00 PM

lumberjim 07-01-2004 02:24 PM

a question for sycamore:

jag has apparently bailed on the cellar. at least for the time being. why did you have nothing to say to him about it, but you tell me i'm overreacting? is it different because he agrees with you and HB, or just that you enjoy breaking my balls more than his. Or did you take him to task privately?


ok, that was more than one question.

I'd like to see more of HB but nobody can average 5 posts a day without a poor signal to noise ratio.

You answered your own question here. Jag has apparently decided the Cellar isn't for him right now. If I see him online over the weekend, I'll give him some shit for it.

He overreacted...so did HB...so did you. I can understand why some of you newer folks might be pissed, but it just ain't that serious. Really.
