Actually, that was just meant as a good-natured joke.

I thought PPSM would find it funny.

I guess it didn't come across that way . . .

You'll just tell us we didn't REALLY read them. :wink

Have you read one called Tybee asked us to change the subject and I did, so fuck off cunt?

It's really quite good, though the heroine is a bit one-dimensional. I loved the villain, though.

I respect Tybee, and I know he knows who I am because of my IP address (unless he's forgotten, it's been a few years, but that's okay don't bring it up even if you remember). But with all due respect, nobody should be able to mandate that everybody change the subject. I had one zinger I had to throw out there, I did and now I'm done.

It was back on the first page, so no, I'm not the one any of you are conversing with now.

NOW let's change the subject.

I actually have a history at DL.

I've learned what everyone else who wants to remain anonymous has learned. I don't want the baggage attached to my name that happens with authentication.

In the news people disagree, in politics people disagree, in the workplace people disagree, wherever you go, people disagree. But only on the message boards do they never let it go. Only there.

You said Tybee would know who you are from you IP. Tybee was never a moderator at DL so he couldn't know you from there. What would they do to you at Qwhip if they found out you were posting here, kick you out or start treating you like shit? :eyeroll

As someone who has posted on DL for over 10 years, the "Don't Authenticate And Try To Make It a Cult of Personality About You" rule was one I learned early.

Fortunately, I didn't learn it the hard way. I learned it by watching others be torn to shreds. I had several reasonably well-liked personalities, but was smart enough to let the monikers go quickly, change them out and then simply post anonymously.

You have to be able to read the crowd.

And some people are rather obtuse about that.

I'm the only one on the boards from my hometown. If my IP shows my hometown, then who I am is obvious. I've talked about my hometown here there and everywhere.

I am not obtuse at all. I am well aware of this crowd's reaction to me. But...

I had been using the PPSM moniker for around 8 years before my blog links made DL turn on me.

Now it's all just fun and games. I really don't care who hates me. I won't be bullied into going anonymous like so many others.

Eventually you guys will pick up on that and let it go. Until then, I'll go round and round with all of you.

Then surely Tybee can shut the thread down or delete it, right? Or ban those of us he hates? I'm not sure what all the drama is about when there are easy moderator options that can take care of the situation to PPSM's and Tybee's satisfaction.

I also don't want anyone banned. It's called putting your big girl pants on and not whining for a moderator to ban someone you may dislike when you can just as easily ignore them.

I'm not saying this isn't true, but it does come as news to me.

As a regular DL poster for over ten years, I was completely unaware of your existence until the past year. I guess you must have been posting on threads I didn't read or I just didn't notice you.

But in the past year it seemed that you were suddenly EVERYWHERE on DL.

It's because the anti-fan base I built up from the blog posting fiasco just made you more likely to remember my name. So it's an illusion that you feel you're seeing my name more now.

I have been using PPSM for years.

All I am saying is that the owner/mod of this board has options, and it seems weird for you to tell people to stop posting in a thread instead of using your mod privileges to prevent the thread from continuing if that's what you want.

Poor Apartment4 had his thread overrun by PPSM, MPC, and the people arguing with them. That is unfair and out of line, not me simply stating that a mod can just ban or delete to get the result they want. Especially since I said it plainly and politely, with more respect than I've ever been given on this board.

If I have a "problem" with Zatalounge, it's that we unauthenticateds are constantly scolded by you, PPSM and MPC, as though we're children who need to be taught how to behave. PPSM and MPC say hurtful, bigoted things multiple times daily yet you never said they were "ridiculous, unfair, and totally out of line," but you have defended them multiple times. That's fine, they're your friends, but that doesn't have to come at the expense of Guests.

You've clearly written this whole false scenario in your own mind and there's nothing I can do to make you see that what you said is simply ridiculous. If you're feeling persecuted here then obviously the best option for you is to not come here. The door is always unlocked so the choice is yours.

First of all I choose not to ban people. It's my board and that's the way I want to do it. If you don't agree with that, I'm sorry. I prefer to attempt to get people to self moderate and self sensor if at all possible. We're supposed to all be adults, not children in grammar school who need a hall monitor. Unfortunately it doesn't always work out that way. Second of all, I don't have "friends" here. Everyone here, including myself, is nothing more than words on a screen. I have friends, real flesh and blood friends, and I don't need any pretend friends. And I would hope anyone on this board who is rational should feel the same way. The people on this board may (at times) be friendly toward each other, but that does not make anyone a "friend".

I hope you will stick around. I don't like to see anyone leave. But you are way over sensitive about things that are said here. It's just a silly chat board and not anything to get as worked up over as you clearly are.

Look, I didn't see your comment over on the Michael Jackson thread until just now, so I didn't realize you thought I was launching some sort of specific campaign against you. If I had, I wouldn't have posted anything over here. You're obviously following IPs closely so you know I'm the person who has posted multiple times how much I dislike PPSM "confusing" one Guest for another in an effort to pretend to be persecuted, and if I'd realized you thought *I* was persecuting *you* then I wouldn't have responded over here.

Whether you believe it or not, my opinions are genuine, not just invented so I can have something to grouse at you for.

And if you think being upset at rank bigotry for "silly fun" or AIDS denialism or whatever is me being oversensitive, then so be it. I live in an area of the U.S. where these kinds of things actively and routinely hurt people in real life, so I don't have the luxury to see them as just silly fun.

I also disagree that this is just a stupid chat board when people here occasionally post real life, important, serious topics that affect them.

I didn't say it was a "stupid chat board". I said it was a "silly chat board". In other words, nothing to get so worked up over. Most people come to chat boards to get away from the seriousness of real life. If you get worked up over what nameless, faceless entities say on a chat board you're doing yourself a disservice IMO.

And yes, every poster's IP address is prominently displayed at the top of each post, so it's very easy to follow what people, even unauthenticateds, say from thread to thread. I may be old, but I have a near photographic memory and once I see an IP address I remember it. So for me it's as if everyone (except for the proxy users) is authenticated

Not sure why the JUB thread was bumped, but I saw you wrote over there last month that some people "don't stop and think (or care apparently) that the words they write on that screen at times can really hurt someone else."

Which is all I've been saying this whole time, that the trolls can be hurtful when they tell someone whose friend has cancer that it's all a NWO conspiracy, or engage in AIDS denialism, or routinely scold everyone else for being dumb, call names, disrupt threads, etc. It's not a "false scenario" and my comment about you having the power to ban and delete wasn't a personal attack, and I had no idea you would think it was.

I am so tired of these fucking lies. You may still be pissed at me for posting blog links and constantly throwing in webbie's face that I can't be banned, and I totally understand if you find me annoying and obnoxious.

But I have NEVER said anything bigoted or racist, and my "hurtful" comments are usually limited to being a grammar maven and retaliating against assholes by calling them "cunts." If that's all it takes to get your feelings hurt, then you may be too delicate a flower for the internet.

If you can't tell that there is a wide chasm of difference between what MPC posts and what I post (we couldn't be more different), then you're a fucking idiot.

Oh, I'm sorry. Was that too hurtful?

Read Apartment Four's thread again, cupcake. I did nothing on that thread except give some warm words to the OP, and then criticized MPC for her Christian Science voodoo bullshit. And the unauthenticated loons still came down on me. For no fucking reason. So I exited the thread out of respect.

Your vilification of me is ridiculous. I am absolutely nothing like MPC.

Yes, people say things on chat boards all the time that may legitimately upset someone else. But, getting upset over some truly callous or hurtful comment(s) and getting upset over the everyday silly things said here and there are 2 different things.

And I feel relatively sure that A4 knows better than to pay put much stock in MPC's comments about NWO conspiracies relation to cancer.

Hon,

I've done nothing hypocritical. I have owned from day one that I grew disillusioned with DL, and so then blatantly used it as a platform to drive blog traffic. As other more astute observers have noticed, I have welcomed all publicity, good and bad (with the exception of some real nutjobs who threatened me physically, and then the handful who made up blatant lies about me being racist without being able to back it up). I've never denied it, and have blatantly said a million times that I was deliberately trying to get a rise out of the childish control freaks who get so bent out of shape about the relatively innocuous things I've done on DL.

So I stand by what I said. Those who get their panties in a ruffle deserve to suffer my posts. Those mature enough to ignore me are left unharmed. So my attacks always hit the right people.

Thanks for the backhanded props, but I'm not even slightly embarrassed.

Smooches!

Child,

I've allowed the last word to countless assholes on here who continue to go off even in my absence more times than I can count. Yes, I also often tend to go on the defensive as well, and yes it can be the less mature of my options, but I own it. I've never denied it.

What I'm criticizing is these nasty queens who constantly engage me and other "trolls" in non-stop battle, but then pretend to take the high ground and claim they're more mature than the trolls they claim to hate. They aren't, and I'm here to remind them of such.

Break out a dictionary, look up the word "hypocrisy," and get back with me.

Smooches!
