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

**Posted by Trish** 7/16/2023 1:14 pm

Nothing's changed (although there are days I wish I had that red, candy-like button)

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/16/2023 2:05 pm

Poppet, all of Blue's moderators are listed as ADMIN too. But there can be only ONE admin for every board. For some reason, Boardhost restricts boards to only one. I suppose that there could be a "general admin" that all mods have access to, but Boardhost is quite ticklish about that too. It allows only ONE email to be used for an admin. That's why the rest of you aren't admins but I put ADMIN for all of your descriptions on the message board, but CANNOT put it on here because they are automatically assigned.

Did a greenman post go missing??

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/16/2023 7:03 pm

This cracks me up! He's probably doing something stupid that's causing it OR failing to fill in the numbers that come up to stop spam-bots

Trish. My posts are being tossed away before I can post them.

I just spent twenty minutes in a replay to greenie. A big POST. A lot of work. Up came a “invalid post”. Then it was trashed. What’s up? Two in a row.

That X up on the tab isn't the "send" button.
Or he previews but doesn't submit to anyone or anything.

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/16/2023 10:33 pm

Invalid submission is often no name or subject. But who knows with him? He could have done as you suggested and never actually posted it.

**Posted by Trish** 7/17/2023 8:23 am

I apologize for missing posts, but if I delete something i try not to leave other posts that don't make sense without the other nonsense. I am also sitting on gog regarding conspiracies. He's been warned about the amount of them

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/17/2023 10:47 am

Trish, we weren't picking on you? Sorry if it seemed like we were? It was GOG we were laughing at.

Apparently, his IP isn't static so it fluctuates and allows him to post here and there when his IP isn't blocked, but stops him when the IP is the one that Ken C blocked. THAT'S why he can and then can't post and some of his posts come up as "invalid posts".

Apparently, Ken C released the banned IP today.

It should be noted that the post that got his IP banned was to me, screaming that my post was a DNR VIOLATION when it wasn't. What he did was post that as his subject AND his posting handle. I recall posting to it that Ken C frowns on "anonymous posters causing trouble". I wasn't sure WHO it was, but figured either GOG or busybody mongo. Apparently, it was GOG.

**Posted by greenman** 7/17/2023 12:53 pm

Static is ALL you get from him. This ‘Reefer Madness’ quote is apropos of GOG:

‘Aww, quit squawkin'. You got more static than the radio.’

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/20/2023 10:51 am

That pig SES flung the LIAR word at me multiple times yesterday regarding my OPINION on this. It has since been removed but I'm SO DONE with that AH. It was just one of several times he did that yesterday.

(and GOG violated the DNR AGAIN in the same thread!)

Then your statement WAS a blatant lie. Posted by CE0802 on July 19, 2023, 4:34 pm, in reply to "Yes, I did... Unlike you who DIDN'T watch the video"

So you saw something like a "form of lynching" in the video?

Nope. And it wasn't in the lyrics, either.

So you're just a liar.

SES, jb, GOG and DFM weren't dropped as babies, as previously suspected.
They were thrown at walls for the same reason.

**Posted by greenman** 7/20/2023 12:15 pm

It’s continued today with me. I’m afraid I started the whole thing by quoting (not IN quotes, unfortunately) from an article elsewhere that referred to it as a ‘pro-lynching song.’

Sprout has particularly pissed me off by lying and pretending that somehow. somewhere I suggested that ‘lynching’ and ‘vigilantism’ (a word I had not even used) were synonymous. I did not, and do not think that. I never even implied it, but repeatedly explained my usage and the circumstances.

He and SES are simply LIARS, and finally I told them so. I won’t be lied about this way. Disagreement is one thing, but the Nitpicker Twins don’t care - they just pick at people for their entertainment and especially those they see as ‘liberals’ (‘own the libs,’ you know). You, me, Sia, Merlin, and so forth.

Human offal, both of them.

Both SES and Sprout lied that I said things I didn't say and INSISTED upon things I absolutely did not "insist upon". In fact, I posted and then didn't return until this evening where I saw Sprout making false claims about both you and me.

Total ASSHOLES.

**Posted by greenman** 7/21/2023 8:42 am

They’re both still lying, and now SES has turned it around to claim I’M ‘lying.’

As much as I enjoy contradicting his bullshit, I’m going to have to cut back in posting to him, and ignore him more.

He’s just a jerk.

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/21/2023 1:35 pm

Yes, but he is far worse than just a jerk.

Just like with GOG and mongo, I had to DNR SES because he's been triggering the unwanted "worst in me" to want to come out to "play". I refuse to allow any of them to trigger me into behaving like they do. The second it became difficult to resist firing off hateful remarks, I asked for the DNR against SES to be put into place again. I'm sad that I did indulge some of that behavior in since removed posts (along with theirs), but now I will restrain myself because "I have to" and they won't be allowed to continue triggering them. Thus, the use of DNRs is sometimes a positive.

I know that you don't agree with them, but it's not so much about stopping AHs from pestering me as it is preventing myself from indulging hateful reactions that I don't want to put out there in response.

And so, an unmentionable someone is back to bragging about a game, and mentioning this board. Dear Mr. Someone, behave. Things have been quiet here because YOU have been quiet. I told you that would happen. So why sneak in a side insult?

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/22/2023 6:50 am

How pathetic. Like anyone cares what games he plays or if he gets the answers! No doubt he cheats or looks at our answers before playing. LOL

If you didn't tell us, I doubt ANY of us woulda noticed. ha ha ha

He must be jealous that he's not allowed to join in our reindeer games and none of his pals give a crap.

Ha!

GOG and SES are over there this morning tag-teaming racism and politics. Merlin’s not helping with a Hunter Biden post, either.

GOG’s pro-slavery post is one of the worst I’ve seen there. All the ‘GOOD things’ the benevolent white folks ddid for those, poor, ignorant blacks. Unbelievable.

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/22/2023 10:12 am

I haven't seen it yet. Headed to our daughter's for Alana's 3rd birthday party. I'll check it out since I'm a passenger.

There are no words to describe just HOW disgusting this remark by GOG is regarding slavery! Suggesting that owning human beings is on par with owning a rototiller!!!! Rototillers aren't alive and don't want to be free or live as they please. GOG is FAR worse than a bigoted racist!! He literally sees owning other people as a "lovely culture". I am beyond full of disgust for what he is.

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

I’m not a slave. How did that get taught to me?

Posted by GOG on July 22, 2023, 9:29 pm, in reply to "And the biggest lesson of all they learned"

Easy. “They” should be re-termed to “some”. Mistreatment is from a personality type. And not ubiquitous. The slave cost $bucks. I don’t mistreat my rotortiller. Why woukd a master mistreat him or her. Simple economics. One would believe from the woke hype that the old South was Soviet Russia , or NAZI Germany. My southern accent came from my mammy. She was my mom, not my mother. Everyone slave and master generally reached unspoken accord…..until the Yankees decided to invade. Destroyed the peace. Ruined a lovely culture. Gone in the rear view mirror.

It might be worthwhile to let the folks over on R&E know that even if the moderators there were inclined to allow racist posts to stand, there's not really an option. Boardhost's Terms of Service include a list of prohibited content. Racism is literally the first item listed.

**Posted by Siagiah** 7/23/2023 9:18 pm

Ken & Grasshopper posted a thread addressing GOG's racist posts. Based on his history, he won't stop. He is clever enough to find a way with language to start in again using 'disguised' language. He will become more aggressive and direct as time goes on. Ken doesn't have the time to monitor the board as it needs to be - and it needs to be babysat since there are so many problem posters there.

It goes on too much and too often, along with other crap that constantly goes on. There is no use in my objecting either. Been there, done that - jb appears to be temporarily gone but there are others to take his place. Name changes but the story remains the same. Trash posting. The guilty really need to be banned for good, but that won't happen. They'll find ways around IP bans with proxy servers and so on.

I have no idea why they want to drive the board down but its obvious they do.

Ken's board and his decision. I get that. But I am tired of all the crap. I've quietly packed my bags and left. No one will notice anyway as most on that board prefer to fight and I don't go to any message board to fight. I have enough of that crap going on with my health insurance carrier. I don't need more garbage.

It is what it is. Shrug.

Trish.

You don't need to apologize. It's obvious that the regulars who trash post on Ken's board are adults. That adults need to be babysat is beyond ridiculous. That adults need to be told that certain behaviors are not acceptable is also ridiculous.

Bottom line is that they are responsible for their own behaviors. It reflects back on them, though they seem to be impervious to that simple fact.

I am generally not one for censorship but that board has been pulled down and its not worth the time to wade through the trash to get to anything of content that might be posted.
