You have just defined the essence of the problem. UT's dilemma.

We Cellar Dwellars have one option that UT does not have: the ignore switch. I put the dingbat on my ignore list after her last self-centered, passive-aggressive maelstrom and found a way to enjoy the Cellar without her annoying presence. Ironically, UT - as the board admin - does not have that option so he is forced to confront and be confronted by whatever she posts. He cannot "look the other way" or pretend not to see it. He has to look at it. All of it.

Secondly, UT chooses not to ban her. Why? He'll have to answer that but my theory after hanging out here for a couple years is that he puts her right to post (on his board) above his own right not to be offended or deliberately tormented by someone posting on his board.

That's the kind of person UT is. That's the kind of person who just got ran off of his own board. And just as soon as he left, she left. Why? I'll leave that question for the reader to answer. I think I already know.

Now, with the board in shambles, even our ignore button doesn't work. Now we know what UT feels like. No. We don't. Only if this were our house would we.

I don't expect everyone to appreciate or understand my visceral summation of Marichiko. I also don't expect that everyone will understand exactly what just happened. It is sufficient to know that UT feels like he can't even enjoy what he himself has created - one of the finest meeting places on the entire internet. And that, moreso even than the smoldering ruin Marichiko has reduced this place to - albeit temporarily - is the real tragedy here.

If she has even one sliver of respect for UT or for the latitude she was granted before he reached the limits of human endurance, she will never darken the door of this fine establishment again. Ever.

Demonstrated is a difference between some of us. Some have so much contempt for opinion based upon emotion as to not need an ignore list - and not care. A difference between those who think using logic and those who cannot diverse themselves from silly emotions - the need for an ignore list.

Is that an insult? Again, depends whether or not you can think logically and see the point; or think emotionally and then take insult. Read anyone and everyone's posts. Do not do so is a first step to being a racist, promote hate, and to not see and ask of other's perspectives. To not read all only reinforces thinking based in emotion.

We were watching a classic example of the forces in domestic violence. More useful would have been more gasoline because the silliness of those emotions and resulting petty posts would play out for all to see.

Nothing in this thread justified the banning of anyone. But then not all could be so logical as to also see George Jr outrightly and intentionally lying. Both are perfect benchmarks of thinking without emotion. A benchmark for each lurker to learn whether he/she can think logically or are manipulated by their silly emotions. (Same silly emotions make Oprah so popular.) Those who think logically had no opinion of this thread other than see both silliness and pettiness. What we really needed was more gasoline so that the thread had value - was entertainment.

It is the difference between greater leaders of men verses those who are first to run when the gunfire starts. Hathcock defines it as the difference between those who can be a sniper verses those who wash out quickly. But then what do I know. I only read those who do the work, who have been there, and have seen how people really are when shit starts flying. Gasoline (not censorship) was what this thread really needed. Then we would have seen what people were really made of. Thats Entertainment.

seriously, how do you do it? you can use any and every thread as an excuse to paste in the same words that you have already used in every other thread.
