Mari is certainly not at that level, but she's trying hard. She annoys me, but my opinion is worth about the same as all y'alls on that point.

This is YOUR board, UT and it's YOUR dime. I would not retire so tamely from the field in different circumstances, but you're the boss here and as far as I'm concerned you have just served me with due warning. If you prefer posters like LJ to hang out here over someone like me, than I HAVE been posting on the wrong board. The management sets the tone of an establishment and I am definitely declasse' in this one.

It's been great talking to almost all of you and I wish you all well.

Mari - don't get too melodramatic on this one. UT didn't tell you to shut up or get out. he simply said your posts irritate him at times. let's face it, we all irritate each other to varying degrees at different times. show of hands - anybody here just get glassy eyed with frustration when tw and i get into our occasional urination battles? (you can all put your hands down now).

until UT pulls the plug you are free to annoy or amuse to your heart's content. maybe i'm wrong but i think the value in the cellar is that we are all welcome here even when we are annoying.

let's see, we have:

LJ- he's annoying when he only shows up to stir the pot, and really annoying when someone flips his instant a$$hole switch. (religion)

Mari - she's annoying when she starts talking about the downtrodden or anything to do with the military.

Jag - he's a flaming liberal and decidedly anti-american. (damn foreigner)

tw - if he were any more liberal he would burst into flames.

Radar - no, no i can't think of anything that radar does that is annoying.

wolf and slang - well, hell, they are always shooting people

garnet - she lashes out in her own little form of poopstirring.

UT - what isn't annoying about an absolute rock god?

and me - i voice an opinion on every issue and usually two, and i usually take a thread 2 days past it's death.

what i'm trying to say is SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY! it's the cellar, we annoy each other, blah blah blah. let's argue about something worthwhile - like how you think the new fat albert movie is going to do at the box office.

No one has ever been able to prove anything.

Mari...dear...you're being a bit melodramatic and over the top. Chill.

In the 4 years I've been here, UT has banned 3 people (not including all the spammers)...and I'd say that only one of those banishments was questionable. So you annoy UT...so do I and a lot of other people. Fuck him. Fuck Jim. Fuck all of 'em. And fuck you.

It's a Goddamned message board on the internet...while I enjoy the discussions, it ain't that serious.

FWIW, you say the word, and you'll have your own forum on the Bosque. But come back here...please?

lookout123 · 12-02-2004, 06:09 PM

oh sure, syc. kissing up to the refugees? why don't you throw in a free weekend at Sycamore's Golden Palace Inn and Day Spa? how about a free round of golf?

My thanks to those of you who have PM'd me and asked me not to leave. I feel that at the very least the Cellar needs a vacation from me, and I from it.

I am trying to get back into the professional world. I am trying to get back to the person I once was. While I feel greatful toward those who did give me valid feedback, the negative response this thread has also generated is not what I am interested in right now. Constructive criticism is one thing. Childish attempts at bullying and obscenely worded replies are quite another. Every other board I frequent would ban a member who engaged in such activities - nasty spitefulness just for the sheer pleasure of being mean.

I will gladly take on ANYONE in an honest fight. However, if a board fosters members who can hang around trying to outvie one another in crude language and mindless ill temper then I have no interest in it. You can tell a person by the company they keep - "lumber-asshole-Jim", "turd-sucking TS", "jaded-whore jinx", and sacrilige of sacriliges, "under-handed, balless under-turd". How does it feel, folks? Don't like it? Well, shut up and quit whining or I'll dish out some more. As a matter of fact, I'll dish out some more anyhow, to the accompanying cheers from the mindless bitches in the peanut gallery.

I'm fed up with this groups' tolerance of LJ's ceaseless attacks on any woman who comes along - me, Garnet, Dagney, Flippant, April, Brianna - the list is endless. The Cellar fosters this misogynist member and tells him that he is humorous. What's wrong with you people? Since when did women hating and baiting anyone who is different become so cool around here? Why don't you start a nigger hating forum next? I'm sure LJ would be delighted to moderate it. Lady Syc is spared only because LJ is afraid of Sycamore. You notice that LJ never tears into a male member of this board the way he does the women. The only reason he had that big fight with Sycamore is that Syc called LJ on his shit and FORCED LJ to fight. Otherwise, when it comes to men, LJ settles for the occasional mindless barb against those who displease "his emminence".

I find this behavior to be unacceptable. I finds this group's tolerance of it to be unacceptable.

I have two Master's degrees, I was an associate professor at a respected college, I was director of the library for one of this nation's leading botanic gardens and I want to get back on my feet and make similar contributions again. When I told the members of this board about these aspirations, this entire thread has been the response. Shame on everyone of you who participated in the nastiness.

A few people around here like to fling the label "victim" at me. In your dreams, you delusional bastards. A victim would stick around here and make nicey-nice to the perps. Maybe I'll be back if only to let the assholes around here know that they'd better stay on their toes. Maybe not.

Sycamore, I am honored by your invitation if you still wish to extend it after all this.

Yep, there sure isn't anything quite like taking the high road, is there ...

Thing is, this isn't even an entertaining fight outside of tw's lucky punch. C'mon folks, ratchet it up a notch or quit wasting bandwidth.

Oh, lookout...my backward bumblefuck little friend...I don't need to kiss up to anyone. My awesomeness attracts people.

And the free weekend would be at Sycamore's Urban Safari.
