So many sarcastic posts with such delicious pseudonyms as Flush Himbo and Wavid Datson are dying stillborn on my keyboard! Vote early! Vote often for satirical name creation. Do it while there is still time!!

I move that at least for as long as we want to make fun of certain cutting and pasting of dubious wit that we be allowed to post as whatever name we want for the general enhancement of such deservedly disrespectful humor.

It was my idea to be able to post without cookies Arch, and I think you know that.

Are you seconding the motion, robjh22?

Oh, I don't even know what a cookie is. Presumably it's some code that attaches to a post or is placed on the post by the host (with the most), but I am fine with it either way. If it helps Arch, I'm for it.
Seconded. Just don't get annoyed when I start posting as Starch Skunkey or somesuch. |

You're close, robjh22. A cookie is a bit of code that gets put on your computer when you log in to tell the website who you are. Basically, the way Arch phrased his motion is another way of saying he wants to have a vote to change the policy about members-only posting. Do you still want to second?

I don't think that changing the "members only" posting will help keep the riff-raff out, seeing as how the riff-raff most likely to come in here and do harm like they have proven themselves very capable of doing in the past, are still on the membership rolls.
I am not for changing things at the present time, unless you want to talk about expunging all of the hole people from our forum. If they then want to come in here, they can start all over with another nym and stay under the same conditions that we all are subject to, though, I would prefer they start with two stirkes against them and any getting out of line at all would be strike three. h. |

Did you want to make a motion yourself, headache?

No Ethel, not really, at least not yet. I don't believe it would carry at this time, besides, the way things are now, the hole people could vote here. But at some time in the not too distant future, I believe that they will grow restless and tire of bashing along the pecking order of the Kabal, Klique, Kadre over in their hole, and decide to once again play games here.
They will send advance pawns to ooze in slowly and then, when the time is right, defeat the due process we have worked to establish, with their nefarious, underhanded, covertly choreographed social game playing. Then, I not only will make a motion, but I will unrelentingly never cease to throw their sht right back in their twerpish faces, and the wars will start all over again. In my opinion, there is too much said about forgiving and forgetting. I think those are just attempts at being religiously correct, and tactful under the guise of manners, which to me, are sheer phoneyisms. I can't forgive because I am not a God, and I don't pretend to be. And I can't forget because I am a human being with a clear, well-functioning mind. All I can do is recognize what was done, and how egregious it was, and then understand what kind of being would do such things, and use this to guide my perception in guarding against it ever being done again. If people want to forgive themselves, and make a solemn vow to themselves to never do an evil act again, then great! More power to them. It will make them better persons, and as such, gain them new friends who are like-minded. But I will always see them through the eyes of experience and thus, will always remain vigilant when enter my personal domain. That is just the way I am. "Fool me once, shame on thee. Fool me twice, shame on me." ron |

All I wanted to do is to be able to post under clever monikers such as "Starch Skunkey" and such (I'm going to plagerize that one Rob). But look at it this way. If someone like "Sybil" shows up we'll hav 49 instant new members.

I wish I had a better idea of what robjh22's intentions were - if he meant to second the motion as I explained it or if he thought he was seconding something else.
robjh22, I'm going to give it a couple more days before I do anything. If I haven't heard from you by then, I guess I'll go ahead and bring it to a vote. |

This really takes a motion and a second? I honestly had forgotten how formal things were. More to the point, am I a "member"? Don't answer that, as it realy doesn't matter.
Anyway, I just want to see Arch's new names, and I have no concern about anyone from anywhere posting anything here under any name whatsoever. If I don't like a post or a poster, I just ignore them. This isn't a church. If it's the Masons or the Daughters or the Lions Club, I want out, as no club who would have me as a member, etc. |

At first not registering was kinda funny, I even had a name or two of my own in fun. But then,it got really weird and some people ruined it for those of us who were just having fun, and not doing it for fun, but out of sheer meaness. I'm not usually one for rules, but I don't want to have that happen again.
I don't want to deal with it, myself. I don't look at us an an exclusive club, just watching out for people who would come in for the express reason to hurt us. That has happened before. Quote: |

Re: ? | ||

Interesting points (all of them).
robjh22, I don't know how to serve the largest number of people who post here without structuring it in a democratic way. And since this isn't really my forum, but the forum of everyone who posts here, I feel that I need to try to be faithful to the wishes of as many people who post here as possible. Ok. I see that the motion has been seconded. I'll set up a vote some time during the upcoming week. I should point out here that I have access to the IP numbers of everyone who posts. So if anyone should post under a pseudonym or anonymously with malicious intent, I will probably be able to find out who they are. |

I can't imagine anyone writing anything anywhere that would hurt me, except maybe a newspaper article on the front page accusing me of child molestation. Even then it would temporary, for the truth would out. But a stranger making an unkind remark on an internet bulletin board? Come on!
One must develop a healthy indifference for things that don't matter. |

Re: ? | ||

Arch and I were threatened on another forum almost a year ago. It was a credible threat of material and possibly physical harm. Things like that can and do happen. Nothing like that has happened here, as far as I know, but it is possible to post things that indicate an intent to cause real harm.
Having said that, I think Heidi's concern (please correct me if I'm wrong, Heidi), has more to do with extra work that could be created for the moderators if people can post without membership. I definitely understand and share Heidi's concern in that respect, but we have seen that if a person really wanted to post maliciously, they can create multiple memberships for that perpose. |
