I want to thank Ken for his post on mongo's board. Of course, mongo responded with vicious LIES and then deleted it all so no one sees it.
There isn't an OUNCE of humanity in him.

Mondo Fuego™, Sia is recovering from major surgery, it's very inconsiderate for you to attack her.

Posted by Ken C on March 28, 2023, 12:59 pm

It has always been inconsiderate for you to attack Sia. Most of the things you said about her are untrue. It is an especially bad time now because she is in the hospital recovering from major surgery.

I should have condemned you sooner, but I usually try to stay out of arguments and conflicts.

A lot of people do a lot of things wrong on these forums. I don't have time to condemn all the bad stuff.

I'd rather try to enjoy life instead wasting time condemning and complaining about all the bad stuff on these forum.

"BS! Ken, do you read the nasty, vitriolic things that she and greenman say about me, you and ...

... other people on this board and on your board?

Even you complained over there on their Crack Alley about how nasty they have been treating you.

You must be blind.

She is a vicious psychopath who spends her day and night trolling this board and your board, copying what posters say, and pasting it on her Crack Alley for greenworm to go banannas with his vulgar mouth. She has even been more active recently while she is suffering from medical problems. What's with that?

Greenworm is likewise a psychopath who cannot control his temper or his mouth. Even you banned him permanently from your board.

For years, they have posted 40 pages full of thousands of filthy posts about you, me and others on my and your board. That is criminal insanity.

Don't come over here with your one-sided hypocritical sanctimony.

If you want to be a helpful, reprimand her for her chronic nastiness towards me and others and tell her to delete her Crack Alley.

OF COURSE MONGO DELETED IT BECAUSE IT REVEALS THST HE IS LYING ABOUT ME... AND YOU, as usual!

Ken sent me a copy of his post via email as we are in discussions right now about some personal stuff.. So mongo cannot make it all disappear or pretend it didn't happen.   

Anyone with a brain had to have noticed that I didn't post anywhere on the boards yesterday until evening and my participation has been quite random. I didn't post AT ALL when I was in a coma. DUH. I've barely posted at all. Of course, when I see something crappy, I will respond. Mongo can stuff his lies where the sun doesn't shine.

Thank you Sia! Good to see the old gang and you too. 

I lurk from time to time, but didn't have much time to invest in the boards.  I do so hate to be a 'hit and run' poster, abandoning threads or failing to respond to someone who took the time to talk to me.  Thus, I withdraw from the boards when I can't give them the attention I wish. It's probably more my hang up than a problem for everyone else.

Moderating is a big and often thankless job.  Can't please everyone, so best to do what one believes is right.  

I don't think my login ID/password works on the other blue board.

 

Oh!  I thought my login info for this board would not work over there.  I'll have to check it out tomorrow.  It's late here (or early, depending on how you look at it).

G'nite.

The login here does not necessarily work there because they are separate and cannot be connected. However, most have reset theirs to match for ease in remembering or i did it for them.

He thinks that he's clever, but he's just lame and totally ridiculous.

Nice try. You clearly have no concept of irony, since my reply over which you flew off the handle (again...) and accused me of dishonesty over contained a rational argument against one of your claims...something conspicuously absent in your subsequent posts. The fact is, I deleted all but your OP, including my polite reply that contained - oh the horror! - someone failing to agree with one of its assertions, not because of disagreement but because the thread had degenerated into personal insult, something permitted only here in the Back Alley. That's a moderator's job. Chronic problem children like you are why people grow weary of moderating discussion forums...

Not even going to bother at this point. You’re just a nasty, arrogant, entitled person. You’re right - you really are a sociopath.

Bye.

No...instead you bring it over to the main board where you know perfectly well it doesn't belong. You're not fooling anyone. Stop trying to pretend this is anyone's fault but your own, you absolute infant. You know damn well you flipped your sh*t and started slinging insults instead of responding like an adult with a reasoned counterargument to my assertion about language. Bad enough that you did that in the first place, but instead of acknowledging your cock-up you just double down, over and over. 

No more. You're beneath my notice.

 

Without being able to actually see what transpired between the two of you, I have to basically guess what happened based on both of your email complaints and years of knowing both of you.

It APPEARS that you knocked heads on whether citizens should be able to own firearms for anything other than being part of a militia and both of you hold very strong positions on it.  Strong enough to literally fight over it.

Obviously, at some point, the discussion turned into a nasty food fight with tempers flaring and ugly remarks thrown around. 

I'm not at all interested in who started it or who said what mean things to the other during the food fight, I can only imagine that it was QUITE unpleasant given each of your emailed descriptions and your continued reactions here.

I think that we can all agree that THAT sort of thing (hateful, angry spouting off with nasty personal attacks) doesn't belong on the main board. The food fight posts definitely should have been deleted as breaking the rules of civility.  Actual discussion should have been left standing, assuming there was any?

Since I didn't see it and there are no copies of it, it's impossible to know if actual discussion went out the door with the junk.  Hopefully, it didn't.  From Poppet's email, I've gathered that she deleted her initial considered response to greenman's post simply because something in it had triggered the angry exchanges that followed and she didn't want to leave it hanging there with greenman's dispute of it removed or for it to potentially trigger more.

As you both know, the Back Alley is where angry, personal attacks belong once any discussions escalate beyond mere disagreement. You can have your say here without the threat of deletion so it's really the best place for that kind of anger once triggered.

Since it's all gone and no one can see first hand what transpired, it seems that the best path forward is for the two of you to have your final say here, get it all off of your chests, and then take some time to breathe --- away from the argument and each other.

You are both good people. I hate to see such disharmony between you and hope that you can eventually find your way to forgive each other.

Get some sleep.  Call a friend.  Beat up your pillow (j/k). Do something, anything that helps you simmer down because getting THIS angry isn't healthy for anyone and it is only allowed HERE.


 

Ok my mind works in odd ways. Sia when I read "Get some sleep.  Call a friend.  Beat up your pillow"

I could not resist adding "no pillows were harmed in the writing of this post"

I hoped a little laugh might lighten things up. I now return you to semi-normal programming.

I wonder how many of us left-leaning folk had their mind drift into "punch the My Pillow Guy" territory...? ;)

The Wordle obsession continues…lol

Wordle is too easy. Sometimes, it is possible to guess correctly on the 2nd row.

Posted by Mondo Fuego™ on 4/4/2023, 12:38 pm

‘Rare to go beyond 4th row for smart people here.

There are some cases where you can waste a row on words that have a similar structure, like:

viral
rival
vital

Depends on which letters are lit up in the 2 different colors at the time, actually forcing you to make a pure guess.

If you start with 2 words that contain all the vowels, you are off to an easy start, like:

piano or ratio
buyer

There are lots of other 5-letter words that fit the profile.

I think the 6-letter version is even easier. I could be wrong, but I have experienced in WordScapes that the more letters involved, the fewer the possibilities using all the letters.

But, all in all, Wordle it is not much of a brain teaser.

Sudoku is fun. It just requires a lot of patience, which basically ends up being a time-waster. The apps which allow temporary guesses make it a lot easier to solve. You could probably start with 1 single digit and spend a month solving it. But, why?

I love the Microsoft MineSweeper game. A max array can be nerve-wracking. One false move, and BOOM!

There is another online Apple/Android/Win7/10/11 app called WordScapes by PeopleFun that ends up being extremely challenging after you play a couple of hundred iterations.

During the Covid lockdown, I entered the weekly competitions starting on Friday afternoons thru Sunday noon, and built up to almost 1,000 sessions. Now, there are some real challenges. You don't have to guess just 1 word. You may have to come up with a dozen or more variations of words formed from 5 to 8 different letters.

A lot of people cheat on games like Wordle and WordScapes. All you have to do is Google for possibilities. Also, the games allow earned hints and downright revelations. A true hard-ass player never uses those crutches ... it's just dishonesty with one's self while nobody is looking.

Some may not have the patience to build up to expert level in WordScapes, but if you are willing to make the investment, it is worth the reward.

Find it and more at:

https://www.peoplefun.com/games

One caveat: If you play the game on several different platforms (e.g., Apple iPad and Android smartphone), your status is kept separate on each device, so when you play a session on one device, it does not start up from there on the second device. As far as I know, this is true with Wordle unless there is an app that allows you to create an account/password that can be accessed across multiple platforms, which there well may be. I just haven't taken the time or had the interest to explore.‘

Two more (lengthy!) posts about a game he doesn’t play, and is not played on his boards.  Just too comical.

He can’t resist the urge to stir the s—t, which is the only reason he’s made fun of - which in turn only infuriates him further.

Comical…

I know, you have to consider the source. 

Look at how he, GOG, KDM and TEXRA are attacking Alvin Bragg, the NYC prosecutor.  Childish, petty name-calling without a single bit of actual evidence against him, or favoring Trump - whom they all obviously still adore.

‘Brainwashed’ is the only sensible description of the Trumpist Right.  They simply cannot stand for anyone to shout out the fact of their Emperor’s nakedness.

‘Huh, huh, he’s fat’ is the intellectual level this crew operates at.  But wouldn’t you rather support a fat man who’s in the right than a traitorous criminal?  I would..

I’ll move such political comments over to the ‘other boards’ area, then, no need to annoy others with them.  He does get too much mention here.

Not good for his ego…

I couldn't help but notice the IDIOT mongo trying to claim that WORDLE is available places other than the NYT.  NO, IT'S NOT.  Those are all half-breed mimics.  The NYT owns WORDLE and that's the only game legally allowed to call it WORDLE. You cannot play old games nor games of more than 5 letters on the REAL WORDLE.  mongo's link is to FAKE WORDLE.  I played the game there and the answer is NOT the answer of the NYT WORDLE.  The REAL WORDLE is only 5 letters.  FAKE WORDLEs like on Facebook and other sites have 6, 7, 8+ letters and do all kinds of things that REAL WORDLE doesn't.

He also over-played his hand this time as you'll see with the second post.  It's a BLATANT DNR violation.

--------------------------------------------

Wordle is available from several sources, not just the NYT.

  Posted by Mondo Fuego™ on April 4, 2023, 7:09 pm, in reply to "Wordle is too easy. Sometimes, it is possible to guess correctly on the 2nd row." It can be accessed at the following link:
https://wordlewebsite.com/

It is also available as an installable app from Apple App Store for Apple devices and from Google Play Store for Android Smartphones and Tablets.
I have it on my Android Smartphone and Apple iPad.
The Android version is owned by Lion Studios Plus.

Not sure who owns the Apple App.

It seems to be more of a cult thing than an intellectual exercise. People play it, then say, "Look, Look at my results, I did it in 3 rows."

I generally don't use the NYT version because I am not a big fan of NYT, plus they try to force me to pay for their online news. There are thousands of free news sources. I don't really need NYT.

Done on Apple iPad App, not Noo Swawk web site. It lets me play 5 and 6 word versions. If I miss a day or two, I can go back and catch up. Actually, I can go back to before when I started this game.

Wordle isn't my cup of tea because I really don't have time or interest to add another thing to my day. Full enough as it is, and I have so many creative demands, taking a break from them is a much needed change of pace. But if you enjoy it, and clearly you do, great. I don't need to feel better or superior and put it down. I just don't understand the need for that.
