This has got stop, the sending of private emails to harass someone that posts!!!!

[Siren]

 

[Bonnie Wee Lassie]

I have to agree with you on this one. I find it very disturbing that they are doing this to you and others. I hope whomever reads this thread will get the message and stop.

 

[Samuari]

Absublutly, If you cann't be enough of an adult to put your opion out there for all of us to see, than keep it to yourself! This is the kind of thing that could destroy this comunity, or at least change its very nature. Is there a Fairy God Mother out there who can pull the plug on these vermin?

 

[Ramlick]

Just to make sure the facts are clear:

I sent one e-mail to Siren. That was a long time ago. I sent it after she insulted me first. If she's an honest person she probably has admitted that by now. Since then, she has continuously harrassed and insulted me on this board. Since she started the name-calling with her unsolicited attack of me, I don't understand why she isn't over the whole thing yet. Is it mature to expect accolades from the people she insults on these threads? How long are you going to carry this grudge? Forever? Be childish if you wish. I think people are on to you, though.

 

[Siren]

Listen jerk Ramlick

 

[Nicole]

I fully agree

Okay I agree here. I have to say that if you don't agree with what someone has said then tell them as they have you on the board, don't go behind the scene's and slam someone.

Laurel does a brilliant job of this site and she put the mail icon up for people to DISCUSS things behind scene's not to be slandered.

The person that sent this rather nasty Email has no right whatsoever to do what he/she did. Think of how childish it made you look, not to mention the feelings that Siren must be going through now. I don't suppose you thought that this would happen right.

I know of a few REGULAR'S that don't post anymore, simply for fear of this happening to them. Now just step back and think before you hit that little send button, think of the Consequences that you are going to have to deal with. Think of the person that you are writing to and the fact that like you, they had every right to post what they felt was right ... or more importantly what they beleive is right to them. If you neeeded to say something then you really needed to do it here, to let them know just how you feel.

I have talked to alot of people from this board, and I have also ignored alot of Email from people on this board, mainly because I don't need shit stirrers in my life. Try to think before you do.


If it helps lets take a look at some of the regulars that don't seem to post as much as they used to .... if you notice we have lost alot of the Bigger Family posters. I am sure that upsets Laurel and Manu as much as it does the rest of us. Try to grow up and be the adult that you are suppose to be to enter this site.

Take Care

Just to make sure the facts are clear:

I sent one e-mail to Siren. That was a long time ago.

Ok, before I even get into my rant...let's make the facts even MORE clear. A LONG time ago isn't actually that long ago. I've read what transpired, and although I wasn't directly involved in it, I did notice that you registered on August 21st...today is the 27th, only 6 days later. Just for the record, ya' know. And another thing, while I'm at it, nobody is "on to Siren"...she's been posting here a heck of a long time, and I'm one who enjoys her sense of humor and wittiness. So it's MY OPINION that there's nothing to "catch on to".

Now, to address this thread topic...Siren, you just hit the nail on the head.

I'm sorry to say that this is one of the reasons I rarely post anymore. What used to be a small community with a sense of family has grown into something that I don't even recognize anymore. I'm not at all coming down on anyone in particular, but lately, the board has taken a mean turn, and I, for one, don't wish to take part in that. So, as you can see, I ignore the threads that don't interest me (the bulk of them) and post to the ones that do. I ignore the "shit stirrers" and find myself spending less and less time on the board. That's not to say anything negative about the rest of the site...Laurel and Manu have worked very hard to keep it the wonderful site that it is, and I truly appreciate that. But as far as I'm concerned, the board is an area that just doesn't interest me the way it used to.

So for now, I'm still around, watching and avoiding the chaos, enjoying the few posts that I feel are meaningful, and hoping that one day the board will swing back to being the community that drew me in.

Ramlick, You just don't get the picture here.....All your doing is chaseing good folks out of here ......ones that have been around and help make this board what it is or was......We lost Deb. and now maybe siren....these are folks that add alot to this board...we used to come here and read comment and have fun many that I have talked with are just fed up ...Angel said she don't post much because of the fighting.....many are like that.....What is wrong with everone right now???????What did I miss??

We all have enough stress in our lives without making more and getting pissed here.....As for the threads changing directions hell just about every one out there changes....starts out one thing and winds up another thing.....


Angel where did you come from you got in there in front of me...lol

[Ramlick]

I don't see why you have to keep going over it, twisting the facts hoping your cronies will support you. It's pathetic, actually. Maybe people will notice that I don't even bring it up anymore. You keep harping on it, and you started it. Seems like you're the shit stirrer to me.

 

[Ramlick]

As a matter of fact, I submit that this thread was created with no other purpose than to resurrect a dead issue, and stir shit. You should be ashamed.

 

[Wizard]

Ramlick that's it you found her out she has nothing better than to play your little kids games......Your just to smart for us.....

 

[Nicole]

Ramlick what Siren brought up was the fact that she had recieved ANOTHER Email, yes she mentioned that you had sent her one but, but she was stating what she felt in her heart at that moment.

I haven't seen her attack you in any way at all.

What the rest of us are trying to say is that we don't feel as safe posting anymore. I know that we have lost alot of people that hve been here since the begining of time. That sadens me terribly.

I welcome all New members, always have, always will. When I come to this board and see some of the shit that some of them have to say, I stay away from them.

Lets take a look here shall we :- People that are missing and missed,

Deborah, Flagg, Lasher, Havoc, Magic Merlin, Lovely Latina, Roger Simian, *Eve*, Angelique, Xander, Endlessly the list goes on. That is not only not fair to them but to the members of this board that love them too. They have style, something that alot of these new ones don't seem to have. I'm not bashing here, I'm Stating a Fact.

Calm down and lets get on with it all. Christ people Fucking grow up for a change.

 

[Angelique]

Angel where did you come from you got in there in front of me...lol

LOL...wizzie, ya' gotta be quicker sometimes. I told ya' I'm around, just not always posting.

To add to my prior post, obviously the issue isn't dead if it hasn't been resolved. Often times, just because one person thinks it's "no biggie" they feel it's resolved. Sometimes issues don't get resolved...my suggestion is that anyone who feels an issue is resolved, stop talking about it! And the whole "she started it" bullshit is getting old...I've got two kids that don't say that line as often as I hear it on here! Grow up already!

 

[Bobtoad777]

Well actually I have been having the exact opposite. People have been sending my flamers private emails encouraging them to flame me some more.

a few things, Firstly, go ahead and flame me I love to be flamed and wont respond in a flame I may however respond with a joke or jab at myself in lue of a flame.

Secondly, if you got something bad to say about me say it on the board or private email me about it. I am a man and can take it like a man but are you a man/woman enough to dish it out like a man/woman or do you have to be childish and go behiond my back thinking I am going to cry if you say something to me.

Let the Bobtoad Flaming begin. lets have hot roast Toad ka Bob.

 

[Angelique]

Shut up already Bob! Hell, didn't someone tell you newbies are only allowed one post per week!? Just kidding.

Allow me to introduce myself on this fine thread that Siren started...I've read your posts, and I got nothing against ya'. Folks here call me Angel, probably 'cause I'm angelic. *looking innocent* hehehe

Oh, and I've seen your site...cute pic, btw...if Xander hadn't already snatched me up, I'd buy you a drink.

Stick around and enjoy...once the board takes a turn away from all the shit that's been flying as of late, I'm sure you'll see me post more often.

 

[Bobtoad777]

When Someone tell me to shut up, i shut up. I am not like soe people who go on and continue to talk after I have been told to shut up, i shut up immediately. Not five minutes after some one tells me to shut up but as soon as they tell me to shut up.

sorry very old joke, thanks for the welcome to the board Angelique I feel privledged to have some here of your stature on the board even talk to me. although I have only posted for 2 weeks, i have watched yours and Xanders story unfold before my eyes, I know I am not the first but I wish you the greatest congradulations on your future life together.

ps. Blushing from you thinking you would have gotten me a drink.

 

[Laurel]

Laurel does a brilliant job of this site and she put the mail icon up for people to DISCUSS things
behind scene's not to be slandered.

Absolutely. It's invasive, and rather rude, to send harrassing, insult-laden emails to strangers. Ramlick's been talked to about sending private emails, and he understands that it was a bad thing to do and has not sent one since to my knowledge. I would hope others would learn from his mistake, rather than repeat it.

Angelique's post illustrates the gist of my "Negativity" thread. And it isn't newbies who are the problem - it's old-timers spending their entire time flaming newbies and each other. I'm not pointing fingers here, because it's a widespread thing. We've all done it, and we all need to think about why we're doing it.

I'm not even trying to tell you not to flame each other. I'm simply saying that YOU people have the power to turn the board around. Sitting around and blaming Ramlick for the decline of the board isn't just wrong, it's counter-productive. The problem is more complex than that. The more time we spend flaming and being negative, the more negative posts we'll have and the more users will simply choose as Angelique has chosen - to bow out. If you people choose to get into public spitting matches with those you dislike, YOU are part of the problem not the solution.

Trolls only have power if they're given power. You want a positive board? Be positive! You want people to stick around? Give 'em something to participate in besides mudslinging and flame wars.

There are some incredible discussions going on right now on this board, but they keep getting buried in the other muck. You see a troll? Take a deep breath, and move along. Post somewhere else.

FYI - I've talked to a few of the "missing" people mentioned on the thread, and the majority of them have been away for schedule and personal reasons. It's summer, and not everyone's home - and those who are home often have family and friends staying over. People come and go as their schedule permits, so no need to worry. If you ARE worried about a particular poster, feel free to drop 'em a FRIENDLY email letting them know you miss them. Everyone likes to be missed.

 

[Angelique]

ps. Blushing from you thinking you would have gotten me a drink.

LMAO@Bob

Honey, I wouldn't have GOTTEN you a drink, I would've just paid for it. Don't confuse that with having me physically get up off my ass to fetch you a drink.

Damn, see how you distracted me. I forgot to thank you for the congrats. So I'll add it now...THANK YOU!

 

[Bobtoad777]

my bad angelique

if in time past and the current plan of events had rolled at as they are now, and you would have BOUGHT me not gotten me the drink. Would I have been allowed to pick it up and walk over to you and share a seat beside you?

 

[Ramlick]

Two points

Again Laurel has demonstrated her wisdom.

I'd like to make two points:

1. Most of the people I see complaining about "trolls," ARE the trolls.

2. If you think members are leaving because of trolls, especially when they ARE the trolls, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. They're coming on with different handels.

Thank you for your time.

 

[Angelique]

Of course you could've, Bob. It would've been my pleasure.

 

[Bobtoad777]

* bobtoad stands up and jumps around in a little circle like he just scored a football touch down then in mid leap he slap hims self in the forhead and says



Dammit Bob where did you leave the plans for that time machine.

 

[Angelique]

LMAO@Bob!

You're too damn funny. Now, don't hurt yourself, ok? LOL

 

[Wizard]

Ok folks right before your very eyes....SEE this is how quick a thread can change topics....and but the way what part of shut up did I misunderstand I thought you said you could......I don't see that?

 

[Havocman]

*smiles at the ever flirtatious AngelicOne and TheBob as they chase each other around the thread...then sadly turns his attention to the rest of this topic...*

Jeeesuhs wept!!!
