TotallyOz Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I hate the use of the N word in any thread. I hate drama and bickering. I hate people who don't know how to not read a thread they know will only cause issues. One thread removed. One thread moved to Sandbox. For those that can't stand JDD, stay out of this threads. Period. The use of the N word in any context makes my skin crawl even if used by a black man. I grew up with racists in Alabama and I left there 30 years ago for a reason. JDD, one more mention of drama at the "other site" and your gone. I hate the other site and I hate it even more when people bring that shit to this site. LAST warning. And, the Sandbox is closed for 2 weeks. Hidden from view for all. Oz at his wits end! If anyone doesn't like any of the above, tuff shit. OneFinger and axiom2001 2 Quote

And, the Sandbox is closed for 2 weeks. Hidden from view for all. Oz at his wits end! If anyone doesn't like any of the above, tuff shit. Let me just get one thing straight here, Oz - First of all I wasn't the first or last member on half of those past threads (that eventually went into the sandbox) who mentioned the "other site". So to almost close the book on me, and harshly go off the deep end stating like I'm the only one who only mentions drama most of the time from the "other site" is unfair, and gonna get the record straight on how some of the mean-girls (if you read on past threads) would bring up certain issues that happened to me from the "other site" first, and I never seen you correct them heavily on that like you did me just now. What anyone should be mostly mad about is how I was called the "N" word twice from a member on this message board, and how mean-girls will turn my threads into drama cases to stir up trouble or get me in trouble, and you know my threads are not intended to be drama filled in any way until the mean-girls get ahold of it, and turn it into a big brawl to a point where it's deleted or put in the sandbox. To be honest here, I find it quite sad you would allow that happen in letting them win which is NOT right as it's you letting them win by doing so in getting what they want as it's almost like your contributing and not helping if you know what is being done to be on here is wrong. Why not put the mean-girls on notice? I never called anyone a racial slur nor "hi-jack" threads to a point of oblivion. Trust me, If I had a forum site and saw that there certain mean-girls were picking at someone just to be bullies and "hi-jack" they're threads to such negativity of removal - they would either be "dismissed" or put on notice that they're being "watched" or on "probation". It's quite sad instead of putting me on notice as if I'm the ONLY one who brings up shit from the "other site", you should put the one who called me a "N" word on two different post on "notice". What you told me about mentioning drama from the other site should go for ANY MEMBER, and not just me as I haven't been the only member on this forum site to mention drama in post or threads about the "other site". Did I call anyone a racial slur on here? NO! Was I the ONLY member who's brought up drama from the "other site" first - NO! The only reason (on my end) sometimes I would say anything about the "other site" is in reference to what someone would mention about a past occurrence from a previous post or thread or something negative about me from the "other site". I'm glad, Oz you said to the mean-girls if they don't like my threads is to not participate which is something I been saying to them for months and they only stir up trouble on my threads just to be bullies. The reason the threads I would create would get nasty is when the mean-girls would cross the line with insulting me for no reason to stir trouble on the thread, and I am quick to put them in they're place when they get out of line with creating unnecessary drama. Been forewarning them I would be putting them in "check" each time they wanna be troublemakers, and as you see that has happened whenever they wanna stir up trouble on whatever thread I create for which I'm not going to let them get away with, and neither should you as you know what they're trying to do.

If you read that thread as being all about you, that is the problem! Yes, you cause shitloads of drama here. Yes, you beat things into the ground over and over and over. No, you are not the only one. Yes, you are the one that brings the drama from other site here over and over. Yes, I am sick of it. Yet, I give you chance after chance. But, my patience is running thin at this point. You make moderating a site difficult. I hate difficult. Either make it easier for me or move on. Simple as that. Quote

TotallyOz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 JDD, in over 10 years of this site and I think it is closer to 15, I have never once had someone more difficult to deal with. Never. You attack people but when they attack you, you get upset. Threads you start seem to start off OK but most deteriorate. Why? I don't know. Is it all you? No. Is it partly you? Yes Does it always center around you. Yes. Thus, that makes it difficult. OneFinger 1 Quote

Yes Does it always center around you. Yes. Thus, that makes it difficult. Oz, Your starting to scare me here as you know good and well I never attacked anybody first on those threads and refuse for you to make me out to do so. You're damn right I'm gonna defend myself when it's comes to me being attacked on my threads for no reason. Are you implying I should just let people push me around and insult me and when I stand up for myself that's attacking someone? Yes, I'm going to set someone straight when it comes to a member giving me a hard time for no reason. You or anybody must not be thinking straight if you think I'm just gonna allow bullies to push me around and just plain out insult me. I don't create trouble or Hi-jack threads like these ANTI-JD members do. Those are the ones you should state are difficult conducting such behavior - not me. I don't know why your trying to make it out to be like I'm the bad guy all of a sudden as I'm not the one who disrespects and creates drama on other members threads nor my own, and there is no way I'm gonna allow anyone to point the finger at me as if I am. I have the comfort in knowing, Oz (whether you want to see it or not) that I have always been respectful toward other members threads and never hi-jacked anyone's threads. It's always been my threads that's been hi-jacked by the mean-girls in a disrespectful manner. I agree the threads I start off seem to turn out okay at first until the mean-girls wanna come along and destroy it. Blame them for that - not me as I always start it off in a very civil manner and you know that - you've participated in them. So, why you're making it out to be like I'm the villain as to why the threads turn out disastrous due the mean-girls interfering - I don't know. For you to say I attack people as if I'm the troublemaker in my threads is terrible as I always been the one positive in my threads, ok, and you better believe I have a right to be upset when haters come along and destroy the threads I created just to stir up mess. Don't blame me for that mess - blame the haters as I'm only defending myself and putting them in line when they wanna be out to get me as you have seen on many occasions and found to be quit sad (so you say). So why you're making it look as if I'm doing the wrong thing in defending myself when being attacked - I don't know, but it's not realistic to just allow people to walk all over you just cause they feel they can. For you to say you never had anyone as difficult - OMG - Oz, people defending themselves when being bullied is not a difficult person, and quite frankly if that remark about being difficult was in reference to me directly - haha - you must not know difficult people then. Difficult is not one defending themselves when being attacked or bullied by haters like I have been. You never been called left and right a "N" and had your career sabotaged on such racism, so no you can not imagine what that's like. You never had a fucked up porn star calling you all hours of the night calling you "N" this, and "N" that, and claim I should be lynched from a tree like my ancestors. Yeah, you possibly couldn't have any idea what that's like. You weren't recently just 7 hours ago was called a "N" twice here from a member from your website. Did I go "nuclear" on this person on the count of that " YES" and had every freaking right to after being called such a degrading word. You didn't see me call them anything racial back right? I called them something else, but never stooped to they're level and lowed them regarding they're race. You wanna talk about "difficult" You don't never see me get on other peoples threads and insult them and call them psychotic and delusional right off the bat for no reason do you. No - that shit is done to me on ANY thread I create, so for you to state what you stated about me is false as they're are a ton of forum members that'll back me up that knows when I have been baited or insulted out of the blue. I hope the mean-girls are not getting to you because doesn't make any sense for you to state how you didn't like how I've been mistreated, but yet you get on here and make me out to be of a troublemaker when you know good and well I have never disrespected or attacked anyone's threads. And just to remind you - didn't you tell a certain forum member awhile back on how I have the right to address my concerns like everyone else on the forum? I know the ANTI-JD team want to create trouble for me creating threads to control and bully by turning whatever thread I create into a brawl, and by you evaporating positive threads that the mean-girls in the end turned negative isn't helping as it's letting them succeed in what set out to do. When I create threads is to get feedback from past experiences just like everyone else, and you know that. I want you to answer one question for me, Oz, and please do this for me as a favor. Have you ever EVER seen me call ANYONE on this forum or any member or escort a racial slur or get on someone's thread and hi-jack it and call them all sorts of names and insults? Have you? Have you EVER seen me be a bully to anyone on this forum? Point is - you always seen me respectable of others threads and not hi-jack them and insult fellow members (even the mean-girls) every chance I get. The mean-girls always are quick to attack my threads, but you never one seen me attack or insulting them on any of they're threads. Think about it, Oz. Always have respect for others threads, and ideas. Quote

AdamSmith Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 One of the great privileges of a lifetime was knowing him, very slightly, through dinner parties together at the home of a common friend in Cambridge. Lehrer was (like me) somewhat hard of hearing. And aging and cynical to boot, at that time. So instead of any praise of his songs, which he detested speaking of, I went into some indirect 'source criticism.' Speaking of the comic and social-critical satiric achievements of Mencken, and Ring Lardner, and S.J Perelman, and Peter de Vries, &tc &tc. That opened him up! He began speaking, guardedly and carefully, but honestly, of those and others among his intellectual & stylistic sources for his songs. I had won his trust. We continued that dialogue across several more dinner parties by that same hostess. He was a joy. A curmudgeon by that time in his life, but a joy if you could find how to speak with him, and listen to him, and give him some things back that he found interesting and not stupid.

Members Suckrates Posted October 7, 2017 Members Posted October 7, 2017 While the OP keeps yapping about "mean girls", it might be prudent to acknowledge that your President Trump also subscribes to this philosophy... the people that attack him or make negative comments are "MEAN GIRLS. However, in truth, he's the one being mean, rude and always on the attack. So we must remember that "what's good for one, is also good for another". Dont dish it out if you cant take it back.... That 2 wrongs dont make a right shit DONT fly with me. WHO in their right mind would allow someone to bully them, and just stand there, allow it to happen and Take It ? NOPE !!!! MsAnn 1 Quote
