Civilized General Discussion, the NEW BLUE BOARD / New discussion thread for "grousing about" and letting off steam

FYI, for those of us who think about Woodbine’s board:

...clear this up for those that care. Disturbingly some do lol.

I was Islar Gepen, which is isLar gePen which is Large Penis if you can see that (hey it was a long time ago)

Thrinxadon was just herself.

Woodbine was just woodbine.

And Devo is just Devo.

I was aslo Sum. Woodbine was going to close the board but gave it to me to have some fun with first.

All that should have been obvious from our styles and IP addresses, that some of the amateur sleuths had access to.

The reason Islar and Devo exist is because people take themselves waaaaaaaaayyyy too seriously.

I would just ignore me, and Devo. Then we disappear.
But people keep responding.

Tells us quite a story, I think..

**Posted by Siagiah** 11/08/2023 11:30 pm

Yeah, I always figured that Mark was Sum as you probably recall.

I didn't figure him to be Islar Gepen, I suspected Woodbine of that. But don't particularly care either way about that as I seldom, if ever, responded to either Islar or Devo.

I do NOT believe that Thrixie was "just Thrinxie". (s)he was definitely many, many years older than 19 and most certainly didn't post on Woodbine's board from age 8ish as she claimed. If she wasn't a Woodbine character, she was someone's character, someone much older than claimed. Either way, Thrinxie was damaged.

I liked David too. I remember that he had a very sick wife. I hope that she pulled through.

Observer again suggesting something..what?

***
It didn’t start with gas chambers.

Posted by observer on November 9, 2023, 8:13 am

“It didn’t start with gas chambers.
It started with one party controlling the media,
one party controlling the issue,
one party deciding what is truth,
one party censoring speech
and silencing opposition,
one party dividing citizens into “us” and “them”
and calling on their supporters to harass them.
It started when good people turned a blind eye.”

I would argue that they WEREN’T good people. By definition good people don’t turn a blind eye to evil.
***

Now on the surface, I agree with this. But why am I suspicious that it’s not the Party of Trump, not the Right, not Faux Nooze, and not neo-Fascism being called out here but the Left?

If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize.

But she’s good at hiding extrmism behind vague language.

I see a lot of complaining here.

Instead of complaining about the complaining, I'm posting this as a thought for the day:

Well, it’s our board to complain on.

Remember that.

**Posted by Siagiah** 11/09/2023 5:26 pm

It is a safe space to vent rather than it spilling all over the main boards and making others wade through it all.

It is easy to say "Oh hush, it's not so awful" when it's not your own ox being gored. But it's not so easy when it IS your ox being gored... repeatedly.

It is OBVIOUS what Shadow/Observer is going for. She even mentions PARTY, which makes it that much more obvious that she's talking about politics, albeit "slyly". She knows EXACTLY what she's doing to get around the rules.

Observer losing her tiny little mind for Israel:

***
Don’t confuse them with the facts.

Posted by observer on November 10, 2023, 1:39 pm, in reply to "Yes, anti-Israel EQUALS anti-Semitism"

It’s not how the anti semites choose to think and, more importantly they don’t think. They believe Israel should continue to allow Hamas to attack with the baby burning, baby stabbing, people slaughtering, homes burning hostage taking bestiality and no reprisals, especially totally destroying Hamas. They have no problem with Hamas being the main oppressor of Palestinians, hiding their weapons in hospitals, schools,residential areas et al, using what money they have for war preparation, not for building an infrastructure to improve the people’s lives, and making it difficult for the people to escape. They refuse to accept a two-state solution, and behave in a way that their Arab neighbors don’t want them.

She couldn’t be more of a tool of Israel if they PAID her to be. She has to be a Jew. And like Mayer, one who calls ANYONE who dares question Israeli actions an ‘anti-Semite.’ I’ve protested that more than once to Ken.

**Posted by Siagiah** 11/10/2023 8:29 pm

She's not a Jew, but acts like one on this issue!

I've reported multiple of her offensive posts. Most have been taken down and I'm guessing the others will be when one of the mods are online again.

She is incorrigible and relentless!

She sides with them because she believes they're "Israel." Because of evangelical beliefs this "Israel" is unfolding fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, that support is 100% and blind.

Abraham launched the first Biblical wars in the region abouf 1880 BCE. That was the invasion of Canaan. About 500 years later Moses led captive Israel out of Egypt, eventually crossing the Jordan in the northern territory. Later, the Jews of the southern kingdom of Judah fought and defeated the northern tribes, about 930 BCE, who were then conquered by the Assyrians and dispersed into captivity. The Bible is very clear in the last days, before Jesus' second coming, Israel will be restored- not just Judah. All of it.

The Jews of Judah are just 1/12th of Israel. Some of the Palestinian people they displace now may be closer to the ancient Israel than anyone. Especially those who lived there for tens and scores of generations.

You can't converse with these evangelical people about any of it. Their minds are made up, and they won't listen to or read anything else. If you don't back Israel 100%, you're an anti-semite. If you question Israeli policy, even a little, you're a Hamas supporter. I was told to stick to music and nature, because I don't know anything about the Bible and its history.

With her I suspect that right-wing politics is as much of a factor as religion.

Trumpism has utterly contaminated evangelical modes of ‘Christianity,’ which in America are almost a Trump cult.

Very sick..

Trump is a cult leader. His base is a cult, and he knows it. As his criminal trial dates approach, his language becomes more and more alarming. He will implement every aspect of projection he makes to end the US democracy for his own protection and power. GOP refusal to condemn him shows their truly spineless character. It will end the way every cult that ever existed ends.

I am not sure new SotH understands what a US default on the debt means, or will do. He may not act in time. He is soft spoken crazier that Greene and Boebert combined.

SES (CE0802) is another disciple.

He combines the nitpicking of Sprout with the obnoxious Trump-based politics (and snotty, jerkish behavior) of Mongo.

A real piece of it..

First he dishonestly claims that I’m ‘dehumanizing him because I don’t agree with him’ when in fact I merely mocked his false claim that I was ‘emotional’ (common from right-wingers).

Second, he replies to Bean’s joking comment about marine mammals not being human with a comment about the Nazis, in which he plays the Jewish victim.

What a twisted character..

First, this IS a racist post. What does the so-called ‘race’ of the perpetrators matter? Better worry about your town’s high crime level (about which I’ve posted before) or bad policing and security.

Second, doesn’t predicting I’d call you a racist - probably mean you ARE a racist, dumbass?

lol

**Posted by Siagiah** 11/18/2023 11:12 pm

My GAWD, he is literally SCREAMING OUT for our attention... How pathetic is that? There was absolutely NO REASON to even mention you in his dumb post. Well, unless he desperately wants your attention! Maybe JuJu left him? Yeah, maybe that's it.

**Posted by greenman** 11/21/2023 10:15 am

Another cry for attention (also racist, as even HE seems to grasp)..

New Nashville mall, open only 2 weeks, target of black shoplifting.

Stores all over nation closing because of black crime.

Greenworm cheers them on. LOL.
***

First, is this his idea of ‘serious bipartisan debate?’ Is this his idea of ‘civility,’ which he apparently ONLY demands from people he identifies as ‘Leftists?’

He kicked KR off the board, and just let Scalise come back from a time-out, due to ‘ad hominems’ ( by which he means ‘personal insults,’ of course). But anyone here, any other board or mod, and any political or social figure are fair game for their childish insults.

Identifying ’black shoplifting’ as something different than mere ‘shoplifting’ is, of course, racist. And of course he’s a pathetic little liar for saying I would ever ‘cheer on’ criminal acts - not even the vandalism of his home, for what it’s worth.

I’ve pointed out how much crime there is in Nashville, maybe he’s still sore about that. Dunno.

But he is a pathetic creep. No doubt about that!

**Posted by Siagiah** 11/21/2023 10:58 am

Is this a repeat of his previous post saying the same thing? Or a brand new one?

I agree about everything you said. He's a "one way" moderator and a disgraceful hypocrite who continues to try to sell that he's fair and cares at all about civility. He doesn't. He only wants LWers around to be punching bags.

**Posted by greenman** 11/21/2023 12:00 pm

It’s slightly different (claiming I’m ‘cheering for black shoplifters’) and on Green Slime. The original was on White Whine.

He knows he’s making racist posts, he simply pretends to displace blame for that onto me, somehow. It’s so revealing, and not in a good way..

If he simply discussed shoplifting and the problems of malls and stores - and they DO exist - this might mean something. But he’s too busy blaming black folks.

**Posted by Siagiah** 11/21/2023 12:33 pm

Ah yes, I see it now!

He is absolutely DESPERATE for your attention... or mine... or anyone who will react so he can go into a rant suggesting that WE are bothering HIM and attacking him unprompted.

Truly childish and pathetic!

I wouldn’t know how to boast; I have no idea what mine is.

I’m more inclined to make fun of my tendency toward ADHD, and occasional confusion/distraction…

**Posted by Siagiah** 11/24/2023 12:11 pm

Well after the answers have been posted?

He is just a bad joke. No one cares one bit what he posts, especially stupid comments about Wordle.

He takes it too seriously. It is just a game we play. The threads help bring about camaraderie and shared experiences.

Probably what he wishes he had more of, given the character (largely self-created) of his boards..

For sure!

No doubt he wishes he could play with is. But he would turn it into hateful reindeer games just like his attitude about it when he posts his results.

It is NOT a competition nor does it reflect on anyone's intelligence. It is simply more fun to play and share!

Greenman, have you told Ken that someone spoofed you and wrote that remark he said you posted?

Yes. I haven’t heard anything.

But as noted, I’m just disgusted at this point.

==============================================

Well, I expect that if or when he discovers that it was a spoofer, he'll apologize and make it right.

I didn't see the exchanges he's referencing nor the deleted comments he said happened, so I cannot offer anything in the way of opinion on what happened.

However, I do know you to be an honest person who would own up to writing it if you had and giving reasons why someone deserves it, NOT denying you did it.

So, I believe you.
