Your knowledge of Bob Dylan doesn't give you a free pass to piss on people here or anywhere else.
I also know just as much about Spector, BB's, Beatles, Who, Elvis, and just about every great band and filmmaker that has ever existed as well. As well as playing rock and roll and all the fine little honey-things that come with that. And what kindness, friendship and loyalty are all about. You are the pisser, on me, and all the people who left. I'm just the one dumb enough to come back, just so you could piss on me some more, because I wanted to mend fences. Jesus would be proud of you, friend. Thanks. And, you know, feel free to ban me. I don't care. I'll still be fielding convos with people (especially women) who think you are repulsive. Guess I shouldn't have argued with them. Later.
I could have never imagined saying I was attacking you by asking where your teenage boy pictures came from would be "mending fences." And thanks for arguing with the women who find me repulsive, right after telling everyone they should leave this board because I harass women.
Maybe it's not clear yet, but I don't ban anyone here. It's not my job anymore.
And thanks for the obligatory "Jesus would be proud of you." It's old hat at this point to question my faith. I don't think I'm wrong when I say I've not questioned yours or Jeff's, no matter what has happened.
I agree with Ian, I want to mend fences too. So, please allow me to explain clearly, and honestly, the following, as posted by Charles in resigning thread #3…
Good, good riddance to the whole fucking thing, Jon and John wanted to shut it down to begin with, they were right the first time. I barely post anymore, but I do like many of the people here, Laurie and Ian among them, and consider this community one I'm a part of. (Even if I take a breather for a week or 9) This is a total outrage, RIP Smiley, die at your own stupid hand. -- Costly Bow
Boy as I look back on those words
I’d been away from the boards for weeks, no real reason, it’s just I
can do that without my life collapasing, so…
Upon my return all was well, I thought. I put up a post of me and my kids on a picture thread, chatted up a few folks, and went on with my day. I returned that night to see the thread vanished, as the entire sandbox was slowly being removed one thread at a time, really kinda pissed me off. I should not have taken it so personally, but I hate that sh*t anyway, never mind throwing in the deletion of
my kids! So I go to the Smile Shop and start a thread to see what they knew. I was referred to the “Media Section” where hell’s fires raged and crucifixes burned! Well, sorta. I read of the new “harassment”, Ian told me it was awful, I asked Laurie about it, terrible. Jon was claiming the things in the PM were incredibly offensive. I assumed with so many testimonies that such was such. I was aghast, this crap ...again??!!, and write the above.
Then I saw the PM’s, as all did. I saw a guy defending himself about being harassing, not a guy harassing. I saw “you’re no Snow White”. I kept reading the PM’s to see what I was missing. I sent a PM to Laurie about it, she said it also had to do with a hot tub photo where she was naked. AH! I said, ok, THAT’S it. Well, turns out that happened… a year ago, and seemingly in posting since then everyone had gotten over it. No reason for a mutiny, no harassment, just some personal sh*t between Ian, Laurie, Charles, Jon, and who ever else ya want to throw into the equation. Laurie is a nice girl, I like her, always did, not sure if she really felt this, maybe just had a bad day, or was used as a pawn. Tough call.
So, my last post on Smile that night was a pretty clear sign that my support of the crusade was waning fast. When I returned to SS the next morning to jump back into it, the thread was gone, and I was not going to start a new one. I still had my beef with Charles, and I am not a fan of PM’s being read, as it was now the newly scampered to focal point of the mutiny, once others said "Hey all he said was 'you're not Snow White'". So, I left it alone. I've posted there a couple times, but the animosity in the air is palpable, so my lack of support in the end was obvoiusly noted, lol.
But, now that everyone is trying to pretend there was no mutiny, I wanted to mend my fences too. I apologize to Charles for the above spew. Laurie, here's to ya baby, still love ya!
Ian, you’re a case, but I think you know that, as your returning now clearly displays.
There, all mended.
In closing, I think we have to remember that what we do and say on these boards
does mean something. Our words that can damage, hurt, and slander. Perhaps we all need to be a little less cavalier in our actions.
Peace out
