Things that change how I feel about swimming in the ocean.

[Gob]

A fish can be deepwater and also local, as proven by the fact that the fish was brought up by marine biologists in Monterey.

And I would think it's not difficult to detect the facetious nature of rubato's posts in this thread - unless, of course, one is so blinded by acrimonious feelings as to lose all sense.


I suppose I can possibly understand the pig piling on in threads where rubato has interjected his opinions in a manner one finds objectionable; but how do you excuse going to his threads - started by him - and pig piling there? Can't y'all just not visit his threads?



There are many creepy-looking critters in the ocean, deep and shallow. Whether or not they pose actual physical danger to humans is not relevant to whether they creep people out, wherever they exist. Sometimes a creepy-looking snaggle-toothed fish is just that.

That's utter bullshit, Gob. Or if you prefer, bollocks.

Where is your posting of 'head girl' when Guin tells you boys to "Stop. NOW." when she doesn't like the tenor or your posts and/or alleged humor? How about when @w, drama queen extraordinaire (who imagines herself 'stalked' by any male poster who bothers to 'mess with' her to any degree on the board), when she issues declarations of objection to the content of your posts?

This is just more immature sophomoric bullshit from you, because I defend a general principle which in this case happens to also involve asking you guys to quit your adolescent pig-piling on every single post rubato posts here.

It's pretty fucking obvious, I would think, to anybody not acting like a child here.

You want to make me your next target? GO FOR IT. I'm done trying to play nice. Forget any kindnesses I've shown you, either on or off the board - make me your target. Get the same in kind by return.

This pissing is stupid, and apparently one can't comment on it without getting attacked; nevertheless, I have made the decision that I will stay here so I can enjoy the handful of mature, interesting posters whose content I enjoy too much to quit my participation here altogether.

If I get attacked in the process of pointing out that the adolescent crap you guys like to engage in is to the detriment of everyone's experience here (except, apparently, yours, Jim's and a few others who delight in the pig-piling) then fine, I will simply point that out every time and you can add me to your pig-pile list along with rubato.

I'm not 'head girl', but my opinion on this subject is of equal value to everyone who contributes here, and I'm NOT going to acquiesce to your apparent suggestion that I shouldn't have the right to state that opinion because there is some hierarchy here to which I'm not conforming.

My recollection of the start of this place was a lot of discussion by you about how we were getting away from a hierarchy at CSB that was attempting to control content, and this place would be free speech, period.

But apparently some speech is freer than other speech here at Plan B Farm.

Is that a fact...

Your new sig line would seem to indicate that you have a different attitude...

Guin doesn't feel the need to lecture. She vents, then lets it be,.

You on the other hand, go on and on, and on and on....




But while I'm on the subject, do you really believe your "holier than thou" rants and lectures will actually change Jim's or my attitudes to rubato? Are you really that far up your own arse?

[BoSoxGal]

No, I believe in stating the truth and not backing down in the face of bullying.

I tend to believe based on other posts I've read here that many others feel the same as I do about this incessant adolescent pig-piling that stains almost every thread, but they may not comment as often - or some at all - because they've seen how you and LJ have responded when some have dared to suggest that you CUT THE CRAP for the good of the whole.

Tell me, are you really proud of your behavior? Are you really that far up your own arse?

[Gob]

Yes, obviously.

Next?

[wesw]

I saw part of a documentary about monterrey bay and the underwater landslides there that go down into the canyon and also that they have a permanent power supply set up for research.

pretty neat.

Oh, for the love of God...

NOBODY has been "targeting" you here BSG...or has any interest in doing so...

The fact that you feel this sort of defensive paranoia with no justification whatsoever, ought to make you want to engage in some self examination...

But given the record, I certainly wouldn't bet on that happening...

An honest self examination of your own behavior would not appear to be a tool in your tool box...

You just didn't get the gene for that....

[Gob]

You have Jim, all those long lectures you've been giving her are a dead giveaway!

[MajGenl.Meade]

I wish you'd all just stop it

[Gob]

You started it!

[Jarlaxle]

Congratulations, you did it: I'm gone, have a nice life.

[MajGenl.Meade]

If you do that I'll never speak to you again, so there

[TPFKA@W]

This time of year is really hard on Jarl. I hope he is going to be OK.

[wesw]

hang in there jarl. see you guys after Christmas.

merry Christmas.

If you actually look at the smilie, it isn't flipping you off, it is holding up the ring finger. I think she's proposing to you Jim.

[Gob]

Or offering to stimulate his prostate?

[TPFKA@W]

No, no, it just looks like an old fashioned, "put a ring on my finger" post. But perhaps I a reading too much into it and it is more along the lines of, "pull my finger". That could be it, but it is not the bird.

I've turned off sigs - it's almost as good as turning off wes. You might say I'm
