I think I am going to write you an Email as soon as I can find a way to translate what is in my head through my fingers to this keyboard here. Got a lot to say, some personal, some critical, some praise.
But the part of it that belongs out ion the open is this -
what in the world are you trying to do gurl?! See how much you can get away with? Act like a wronged heroine in a slock comedy? re-incarnate Helen Wheels? that particular personality rebirth here is starting to remind me of some of the old Marvel cartoon characters coming and going over the last forty years.

.....I found 32 uses of the word ......
I don't know why this has to be a sparring match. Swallowing a little pride isn't butt smooching. We don't need to pick apart every sentence like a surgeon, or a sturgeon for that matter.
But then again I'm just a dumb carpenter.
And tho this is addressed to you-since we have no "ALL" feature here unless we open a new thread, I will take this opportunity now to say this goes out to everyone reading and posting here.
Off to dinner with my mother in law. Now there's a happy thought.

I'm sure your MIL will be very happy to have you for dinner, seasoned or not.
As for the other, that is why I am taking anything that even MIGHT be taken as negative criticism off in private. Got tired of the pollution and no intention to let that happen here too, from my hand.

Piffin I gotta ask......cause well, I don't see Splinty doing much of anything that warrants all this....personally I wouldn't mess over in the Tavern cause it is theirs, but it seems to me everybody is sorta picking on Splinty......
especially the Dino character.....
Man I believe those buttheads at Taunton really did you guys dirty. Am I the only one? If so I will shut my pie hole and go about my business....cause
I get a distinct feeling everybodies kinda hoping Taunton will reopen the play ground.......if only you guys are good little boys.......
I wouldn't bet on it . . and even if they do they gonna make it so damn sterile it won't be any fun anyhow.
Since I was invited here I thought I'd give my two cents worth concerning Taunton. I did that and It's/I'm getting a bit redundant......so
How are you planning on surviving the social/economic meltdown when you live on an island?

I also think it stinks, but I don't see what anybody can do about it except to vote with their feet.

Likewise, i'll make this a general reply.
I also don't know why the sparring match needs to be, but the mention of 32 cases of shit was to inject some perspective based on fact. More facts:
Dino chose to address me as he did; i did not solicit his input. (#10550) I explained my reference and said, "Peace, dammit." He then escalated his attack.
My first post to Eric was to thank him for ending his feud with Andy (#10419). His response was to jump on me (#10422) and continue until i simply ignored him, giving him his precious "last word".
Luka's tried to bait me. (#10649) I ignored him, too.
It's not a matter of pride that i don't kiss butt; it's a matter of getting damned sick and tired of having my braids pulled by these bozos, let alone listening to someone else defend them, then blame it on my having braids. Frankly, people need a new hobby besides dissecting what makes Splintergroupie tick.
I've created limericks, traded poetry, offered free stuff, reconnected with Newf, resurrected John Galt, and sent a donation - all about trying to be a good citizen here and injecting some enthusiasm. I'm as content to leave this place as moribund as i found it if that's not good enough. I'm tired of pushing rope.

The easiest thing is to just not respond. They will eventually go away.
I'm becoming more convinced every day that out differences are not philosophic, but genetic.

I'll be happy to converse with you offline, if you wish. I can't tell if the Helen Wheels reference is metaphorical, but she was not my character, much as i wish i could lay claim to 'her' inspired presence. I'd like to be able to write half as well as Fred.

It's striking to me how similar this entry here is to my entry to BT in 2000. I got lots of advice about how to behave and express myself then, too. Geez, i thought they knew me by now.
I'm not sure i know what you mean by "genetic". XX and XY come to mind, but then i'm predisposed to think along those lines. Did you mean something else?
PS: I've been turning the word 'delph' over in my mind all day, from that poem you posted. <G>

I was talkin' about a war that seems to have been goin' on since the beginnin' of time.
Maybe with the new genetic mapping we'll finally find some indicators.
'Til then
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
I'm a long way from home
And them that don't like me can leave me alone.
And here's another word that comes to mind:

Noun
1. a plank of softwood timber
2. the sawn wood of various coniferous trees [Middle Low German dele plank]

Splinty,
I don't mean this as a personal attack or a pile on. I have a (very) faint feeling that if we met in person, we MIGHT get along.
That said, you are a real peice of work. An exceptional person. But, (you tend to) come on like a bull in a china shop to be perfectly frank with you.
"Frankly, people need a new hobby besides dissecting what makes Splintergroupie tick."
Look at that statement for a couple of minutes, and then turn it around.
I see Splinty's hobby as dissecting what makes us all tick. That's what attracts you to this place. (BT)
Again, not meant as a personal attack, just an objective observation. Kick it down a couple of notches.
Think scalpel, not axe!
Eric

Hey Colleen...I didn't jump on Dino cause to me all he's doin' is suckin' ass with Taunton and you know how I feel about that! Ain't worth a response and he doesn't bother me nor do the people that ratted me and others out as per their lil' game plan which back fired on a lot of em'. Some of the bans may have been warranted but quite frankly...most weren't in my opinion. Taunton just doesn't know how to run a forum anymore....pretty much like the magazine is headed... They've neutered themselves from any form of life and soul and Dino and Eric and all the other assh-s can have a field day over there b/c it's all theirs now to do what they want with.
You actually miss that place...as it is??? Not me!! It's a major bore fest! The only soul left over there picks my gum up off their floors.
It was a nice decade we had but read my lips "IT'S OVER", FINI', DONE, HASTA LA VISTA BABY!
New day dawnin' and here's the song I'm dedicating to it all. TURN UP THE VOLUME

Brother man, we need to kick this place up !!!!!!
I heard a funny on Maher last week, ain't it ironic we freed the slaves, and then elected a black man to sweep up the mess?
That would get me bammed at BT, I'd bet.

Maybe I misunderstood when you then said:

"As for the other..."-- were you referring to something else?
Or is it that your first comment couldn't possibly be taken as negative?

I was watching a program on PBS about evolution featuring lots of kinds of monkeys. The thesis was that the closer genetically they were to H. sapiens, the more violent they were with each other (males not just bluffing, but inflicting serious damage), the more the males herded the females, the more strife from unattached males, the more meat they ate, etc.
I feel like a bonobo in the land of baboons!
I think you and i have the same record collection, though. I first heard those lyrics from Gordon Bok. Do you know him? From Maine? His gift to a woman friend with cabin fever:
When the deer have bedded down and the bear has gone to ground
And the northern geese have wandered off to warmer bay and sound
It's so easy in the cold to feel the darkness of the year
But you know they're only waiting for the morning.
Oh, my Joanie, don't you know that the stars are swinging slow
And the seas are rolling easy as they did so long ago?
If i had a thing to give you, i would tell you one more time
That the world is always turning toward the morning.

Went out last night with 6 of my best friends from grde / high school.
Drinkin' jokin'.
All of 'em tellin' layoffs and hard times, unempolyment, etc.
Had to remind them - I aint had a job since I was 17.
Been unemployed for 25 years.
All a matter of perspective I guess.
