AH , I remember the bong night! That was the night that posters were advocating the use of drugs. It was sooooo 60's......
posted on December 10, 1999 02:33:58 PMok listen up please, I don't agree with what all of you are saying I said or meant. But. I will help to bring this to an end here and now.
Aurorah I appologize if my post referring to one of waca's was hurtful to you. I do like you and sometimes read too much negativity into your posts about me.
Hellcat I do not offer you an appology as I truly see you in a bad light and your posts are very baiting ALL THE TIME TO ME. At least I can say Aurorah no matter what she says to me she only says it once and directly I respect that in a person. You should learn from her as I am trying to.
I also wish to inform all of you including my friends that I will now ask to be issued another id as this one seems to cause some posters difficulty taking me as an individual. It is only going to bring me hard feelings using it and maybe a change of face so to speak will in some way make it better for all of us.
I have often been told to relax and just don't take things as insults all the time, you guys don't stop so how can I? I am a human being with feelings I am not a machine.
I will also for your bennefit stop using so many smileys as I see it bothers some even though they are not intended to represent nastiness. I will give a smiley to those whos post I like and a frown to say I am mad or saddened by a post.
Thanks goes out to all those who have sent me and supported me here on my stand.
for old times sake I will now totally get this out of my system for all of you
WHEEEW THAT FELT GOOOOOD
I bid you all a nice evening. Oh and kel I appologize for thinking Bob inspired your kindness to me. I do feel good now knowing you were genuine. I will never say that again.

edited to take out the smileys and fix the bold. the smileys made my screen from here to there lol.

What I meant to say, and should have, is everyone tells caperzlady they are adults, and some then post in a child-like manner. I should not have extended the "child-like" posts to everyone. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I am very much trying to stick to what I think of the posts and not the posters. If someone wishes to view what I have had to say as an insult, then I can't stop them. I am not insulting people, just the manner of many posts.
No, Gail, I do not consider your posts as bait. I wish you would give Brittney a little more leaway, but no, not bait. In general I respect what your posts have to say more than most, as they aren't filled with sacrcasms and nasty remarks.
And toke, yes, it is a "school" - life itself is a school. With everything we read we learn, and this forum was set up as an exchange of information, and to increase our knowledge of on-line auctioning. In a sense, a form of "school".
If all I've done is attract attention away from Brittney, then I've accomplished something - I can take the attacks better than a teenager can.

Casperzlady.....I would like to ask a favor.
Would you consider editing your post, splitting your row of grins into maybe 2 rows? It was long enough to "break the board" and the page will hold 23 more posts til it moves to another page, making it very hard to read.

Sorry, but my issue is with a certain post and the lack of moderation of said post in light of AW being so quick to WOMD far more innocent comments these past few days. All of which, of course, has been stated all over this thread by myself and a number of others.
Oxford-
Bait? Please re-read the thread, and you will plainly see where the bait is. As far as the poster being a teenager, well...
Toke-
Thinking the same thing myself. This place is really beginning to stink right now.

Huh? Brenda Wants a second ID to torment us with? I do think one is plenty, thank you.

Do you really think that the two are separable? If you insult the manner of the post, can you then say that you are not also insulting the poster?

ummmm.... has anyone else noticed all the email links under our names are gone? Is it my computer or AW? Anyone?
You had to bring up the Twilight Zone, didn't you, Toke? =-)

Hi Everyone:
Re the “Aurorah what waca said post”
Sorry if I’ve kept you in suspense. The reason, as I said, was I had to check out a few things, and then some new things came to light.
It’s been pointed out to me that, in a later post, Casperzlady said that she was referring to a spazmodeus/waca exchange, and wasn’t dittoing offensive statements waca had made about Aurorah.
Since Casperzlady’s original posting was vague, I am going to take her explanation at face value.
However, Casperzlady, it’s not at all clear to me why you would bring the spazmodeus/waca message to Aurorah’s attention.
I suggest that everyone avoid vague references so they won’t be misinterpreted for their content or be construed as a subtle workaround of the Community Guidelines.
Not to beat a dead horse (yeah, I know I actually am), but if we stay away from getting into personalities, this is less likely to happen.
Gila
PS - As I was putting this up, I saw Casperzlady's apology to Aurorah. So, in that light, I withdraw my question to Casperzlady about why she posted, but I think the other points are still valid.

Re e-mail hypertext
You were right. My preferences were incorrectly set. I’ve changed them and hope that problem is now resolved.
Here’s a related heads up. In the near future AW will be removing the e-mail hypertext links next to members’ the postings (the link for the moderator will remain). Instead, members’ e-mail addresses will appear their profiles, but without a hypertext link.

Lurkers , please do post ! This is a new gentler AW ! Your opinion is valued !!..........................................................................CREDIBILE POSTER.......NEVER SENT AN IRATE E-MAIL TO ANOTHER USER............NEVER CALLED TO HARASS ANOTHER USER........NEVER HAD AN ID NARU'D FROM ANYWHERE...
posted on December 10, 1999 03:21:21 PM
This is insane... it appears clearly enough why Casperz brought that post to Aurorah's attention. I respect your decision, Gila, but I fear that you have just provided an easy avenue around the insult provisions of the CG.
posted on December 10, 1999 03:22:49 PM
Good, as long as I explain away everything, all is well. I also expect all my explainations, however un-real seeming, to be accepted "at face value"
posted on December 10, 1999 03:36:27 PM
I wish I could see a "kinder gentler" AW. All I see now is a free for all.

Ahhh, yes, Jon. Sure. Two different people, right. UhHuh. Sure, that's the way it was. Just using your computer, was that it, again? I can't seem to remember.
posted on December 10, 1999 03:42:56 PM
Actually, we probably shouldn't be upset now, should we? We've just learned the "acceptable" way to insult someone! Just dig through the archives, and find a nice, nasty, juicy hate-filled post. Go back to the current thread, post "What so-and-so said." As long as the person you quoted has made more than one post to this forum, then it is perfectly allowable, because our ridiculous denials will be taken at face value.
Can't you all see how this will make for a kinder, gentler, more respectful AW?
