Fixed that for you.

As to definitions, you are the one who ignored the posted dictionary definition of "native language". And came to the idiotic conclusion that I am a Native American.

As to debating skills, my "shitty" is still better than your best.

Get over it.

I don't understand all this stuff about loCAtek.

To be clear, I like her. And I like people who evidently dislike her. And I like people who have evidently started disliking each other. (I have a thing about liking people. For example, I like her and Lord Jim, even though they evidently cannot stand each other. It was not an accident that I invited them both to my house. (For other reasons, that never panned out.) I would love sitting down for a good meal with loCAtek and Lord Jim and Gob and Hen and a whole bunch of other people (my house is only so big, so I can't seat everyone at once). All of us are better than we appear here.

Why does loCAtek not take my advice? It seems to me clear enough:
I remember things one way. You remember them differently. The evidence which would show the truth or falsity of your or my recollection is, through no fault of either of us, unavailable. Therefore, let's just walk away. I cannot prove that you are wrong; you cannot prove that I am wrong. So let's just walk away.

The old Andrew would never have been so crass.

As I say, and proved, I noticed this distinct change of character over one year ago.

Nothing you post can alter that.

It's not that people don't like her it's that her behavior has regressed to the point that we'd rather not hear from her. Just about everyone on the board would let bygones be bygones if she'd abandon this insanity she's been dealing in for the past year. But vey few of us believe there's much chance of that anymore
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

To be clear, I like her
As have I... ( though I manifestly do not like what she has chosen to do here)...

If anyone doubts this, I ask them to go back and look at the record....

I used to talk to LoCa on the phone on a regular basis; I have no personal animosity towards LoCa whatsoever...

She has never targeted me for any attacks...

I have never been a part of any "piling on" against LoCa...

To the contrary, even as her behavior became worse and worse, and even as more and more folks around here gave up on her, I continued to hold out hope that she she would give this crap up...

When other people said she wasn't responding to the mediation quickly enough, I said that I thought that wasn't fair; giver her a chance...

I came very reluctantly to voting for her suspension, and made very clear that I felt she should get a fresh start when she came back to the board.

When after she came back and she resumed her obsessive behavior, and the proposal was put forward that she be banned permanently; I voted against it....

Over and over again, for more than a year, I have implored LoCa, patiently and politely, to move away from this path...

There are plenty of quotes to back this up....

The idea that I am a part of some sort of "LoCA Lynch Mob" is utterly absurd, and completely unsupported by the record..

What I am, at this point, is fed up...

If I were going to come up with one word that best describes my attitude towards LoCa at this point, that word would be...

exasperated...

She has knocked the legs out from under anyone who would want to give her the benefit of the doubt...

The only way this ends, finally once and for all, is if she just knocks if off now, and doesn't try to find another other way to start it up....

Maybe that's finally going to happen...

She hasn't posted for a couple of days...

Maybe when she comes back, she'll finally let this go...

Hope springs eternal....

Ok, well that's the end of that 'discussion " for me. You are, as I have said in the past, welcome to believe what you wish.

I will sit back and watch your demise with some curiosity.

The Hen wrote:Meade, the comment I made was not 'suddenly' in a thread that was over. My comment was made 17 hours after Lo's last comment (after I had slept and woken), and only 40 minutes after the last post in the thread. I think you are mischaracterizing the thread if you think it was dormant prior to that post of mine that you took so much exception to
Hen, I have a wonky mouse (I'll regret saying that) and my post had an error. The words "topic. Loca had" got shifted. The damn thing clicks by itself as it scrolls over the screen - keeps moving words, taking me to other websites, other threads and so on. It makes "Minesweeper" almost impossible

It should read: Hen had already responded to Loca - so had a cast of thousands - it was over and done and the thread was back on topic. Loca had taken herself off to wherever she goes. Suddenly, Hen poked a stick into Loca's face with an open invitation to start up all over again. Read it without the blinkers Jim. Just admit that topic. Loca hadHen made a little mistake by inviting more trolling - encouraging it if you want to put it that way.

I did not say the thread was over or dormant. "It was over and done" referred to Loca's insane postings. I believe that Loca had been defeated by logic (of you and others) and had dropped out because she was getting hammered (sorry).

I actually agreed with your prior conclusion which appears to be the same as my own:
The Hen wrote: by The Hen » Sun Jun 03, 2012 7:02 am. Perhaps this is an opportune point to raise the percentage vote for 'category' offences again as a nice segue back to the OP. :)
The Hen wrote:by The Hen » Sun Jun 03, 2012 7:50 am. Well that stopped that discussion. (Again. I should probably learn something from that.)
The Hen wrote:by The Hen » Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:42 am. Do you know for a fact that they haven't taken any action? If you DO know this, HOW do you know this? Are you in contact with your stalker about her Plan B access? Are you your stalker? Is that how you know that no action has been taken against her/you?
Hen - I think "such exception" carries more freight than necessary. All I ever said about the above is that your Jun 04 post was begging for Loca to start up again when even you had said "back to the OP" and "well that stopped that discussion". And dare I add "I should probably learn something from that" :roll:

And then the shit-storm happened. (I'm not complaining about that so I don't have to ignore it). And when all that rehash stuff about you and Gob started to get posted - which you have said before you did not want to see again - it just made me even more angry. Oh well....

No Gen'l, that is what you need to do...

To try to view this without the blinkers that are apparently rendering you incapable of seeing the larger, on-going context here....

This comment shows just how strong those blinkers are:
it was over and done
I stand absolutely amazed and dumbfounded that anyone familiar with the totality of what has gone on with this could possibly come to such a conclusion...

Utterly bewildered...

Could you please explain how you managed to reason that out?

Why it's simple Jim.

(a) Hen pointed out that it (Loca's arguing in THIS THREAD) was over and done. "Well that stopped that discussion". Loca had quit posting in THIS THREAD and she has not posted in THIS THREAD since then, AFAIK. I believe Hen - why don't you?

(ii) er... there is no number (2)

(3) My posts have been about THIS THREAD

Read the sequence LJ

Back to the topic (Hen first; MGM second)
It's over and done with (Hen first; MGM second)
C'mon back Loca and dish out some more of your crap (Hen)
Was that a good idea Hen? (MGM)
Naughty MGM - stop encouraging Loca to post! (LJ)

It's called cognitive dissonance

OK, considering the the topic of this thread, should there be a time limit placed on responding when the person thread?

It was thought that three days to respond was too long, in one thread. Is 17 hours?

Perhaps we should set a range parameters to various areas of this Board?

Which areas?

Discuss.
Bah!

Hen's alluding to the fact that she encouraged Loca to post more crap er.... "responded" to Loca a mere 17 hours after Loca left the scene of the accident. (I don't really read the time tags that way - looks more like 21 hours to me but what diff?)

So Hen is suggesting that perhaps there should be a time limit beyond which one is not allowed to respond to someone else's post. :lol:

I'm thinking 25 minutes is long enough. :loon

LOL :lol:

It's just extraordinarily amusing to see you accusing someone else of "encouraging LoCa to post more crap" when nearly everything you have posted for the past two days does precisely that....

Image oh damn, and I just got the bloody thing fixed....

Just out of curiosity, General...

What if any positive thing do you believe you have been accomplishing with this?

Because I can't for the life of me imagine what that could possibly be....

Think you've won over a bunch of converts to the "If LoCA start this up again for the umpteenth time in a year and a half it's Hen's fault" point of view?

How do I save a draft? I had just finished a rather lengthy reply when asked to login again to make post, and POOF! I know it's probably staring me in the face but I could use the help. Or maybe it's wiser to keep my mouth shut and be flattered(?) the I'm a known criminal assailant with potentially threatening physical harm. Hmmm..LOL...there WAS that girl I 'called out' for a fight in junior high. Geez, is that still on my record? :roll: Oh and there's being in cahoots with the Aussies! ROTFFLMAO. I live in San Jose for fuck's sake. But wait, there was a registration ticket about 15 years ago....must have caught up with me. Call the Police!

Something positive? Well I'm keeping you amused LJ :lol:

Try reading this reply to Hen again (for the first time perhaps) - some parts highlighted for the guide dog:

Now LJ if you want to characterise that as an "accusation" - well it's a free country. And no I don't think I've won over any converts to whatever it was you made up. I never said any such thing. What I said was (see umpteen posts) was that Hen's ONE POST was like poking a sleeping dog. Of course I'd like it if Hen said "Yes that was a bit contrary to what I'd just said wasn't it?" - we all could have gone home hours ago (days). After declaring victory

Ferfucksake Meade.

Get over it. Drop it. Leave it alone.

What the FUCK do you want?

A bloody apology to the fucking Board.

ALRIGHT.

I AM SO FUCKING SORRY THAT AFTER HAVING A SLEEP I POSTED AGAIN TO POINT OUT THAT UNLESS LO WAS CHATTING TO PMS PRINCESS SHE WOULD BE AWARE OF ANY FUCKING ACTION TAKEN BY THE ADMINS.

I REALLY AM FUCKING SORRY.

NOW FUCKING DROP IT AND LET'S NOT FUCKING GO BACK AND DRAG IT ROUND THE FUCKING BLOCK AGAIN.


Cheers.
Bah!
