We all are in grave danger!

Apparently we can die from breathing the air here.  Who knew?

Lol. "Oh noes, I can't delete my account!!!"

Seriously, this is just sad. Jfern - do you honestly think that posting a message saying "don't go here" on a blog that appears that has no readers, or at least extremely few, will be effective? Hell, by linking the site you're telling people we exist and you may even be getting us some new users. Sorry, but it's not going to stop people from coming here as anyone with half a brain can see your claims are at best blown out of proportion. Just because this isn't Daily KOS doesn't mean this thread is overly conservative - in fact it's quite balanced. Sure there are shifts in how the forum leans, but overall I come here simply because there are lots of different viewpoints discussed.

Also, if you want to get your account deleted and can't get it done, then just leave the forum and don't login ever again. It's not brain surgery.

Ha ha, she still doesn't get it, does she?

Jfern?  The blog belongs to Texasindy.

Considering the tone and language, this is an honest mistake.

hahaha . . . strange.  Just strange.

You know, I really have no clue as to what really happened and why she left, and I honestly don't care.  Some people cannot handle others disagreeing with them on a continuous basis nor can they put up with "harassment" in any form.  But to throw a tempertantrum over it, calling out to have your account deleted and drawing attention to yourself just makes things worse.  And then to post something like this on your own blog, acting in a way in which you are complaining others did to you?  It's just sad.

Look guys, in the future, if for some reason you are tired of this site and/or you want to leave because you can't take the current tone of others, be smart and just stop logging on.  Don't call for your account to be deleted.  Don't link to this site from your blog.  Don't complain on endless threads.  Just leave.  You will feel better and you will don't ruin your reputation nor that of the site which Dave has provided.  It is that simple.  Be an adult and just walk away.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmooooooooooooooooo

[Dr. Cynic]

Well, just how many people read texasindy's blog?

I worry little. Her inability to accept others' opinions is saddening... Because someone denies global warming, does that make them so terrible? They're not holocaust apologists...

People need to chill.

[MODU]

Well, just how many people read texasindy's blog?

I read her anti-Atlas article (plus viewed the links she provided), but that's as far as I got.

[MasterJedi]

Well she just lost all the respect I had for her. Wow, what a baby.

I like the post from Alcon that she gives as an example of "rudeness" from moderators.  She also gives two examples of "liberal bashing", neither of which are really either bashing nor directed at liberals.

Apparently, anything that doesn't put her up on a pedestal and venerate her on high is rudeness.  As far as I can tell, her reason for hating the forum so much can be boiled down to "I asked for things, and they were not immediately granted with full reparations and apologies."

Well, as far as I know, the real world doesn't work that way, so why the hell should this forum?

The internet seems to have this magical effect on people that makes them feel as though they are god of their realm and that the world exists to revolve around them.

Then if they don't get that result from something, they spend every waking moment of their lives whining about it, all the while declaring that they don't care.

                      I felt that his life might be in danger
                      once word of the letter got out.
 
                                  KAFFEE
                      Grave danger?
 
                                  JESSEP
                      Is there another kind?
...

                                    KAFFEE
                               (continuing; beat)
                      Colonel, I have just one more question
                      before I call Airman O'Malley and Airman
                      Perez: If you gave an order that Santiago
                      wasn't to be touched, and your orders are
                      always followed, then why would he be in
                      danger, why would it be necessary to
                      transfer him off the base?
 
              And JESSEP has no answer.
 
              Nothing.
 
              He sits there, and for the first time, seems to be lost.
 
                                  JESSEP
                      Private Santiago was a sub-standard
                      marine.  He was being transferred off the
                      base because--
 
                                  KAFFEE
                      But that's not what you said.  You said he
                      was being transferred because he was in
                      grave danger.
 
                                  JESSEP
                               (pause)
                      Yes.  That's correct, but--
 
                                  KAFFEE
                      You said, "He was in danger".  I said,
                      "Grave danger". You said--
 
                                  JESSEP
                      Yes, I recall what--
 
                                  KAFFEE
                      I can have the Court Reporter read back
                      your--
 
                                  JESSEP
                      I know what I said.  I don't need it read
                      back to me

Are you done beating your wife?

Hey, at least it wasn't me this time.

Indie's comments on her blog are exceptionally stupid, but I liked her when she posted here.

Now, she's being a drama queen.

haha, Jmfcst, you're awesome! You really do relate everything in life to movies, don't you?

But seriously, has she not heard of hyperbole? That's basically what 99% of the posts she linked to entail. And her version of "rude" is quite tame.

Indeed, one of my favorite lines used on this board was when Jmfcst turns a couple of Jester's lines (that was some great flying right up until you got shot...never leave your wingman)...against someone...i laughed hard.

As for Texasindy...I never had a problem with her on the forum, dare I say we got along decently, but if that's the evidence she bases her claims on...then the only conclusion that can be supported is that she's hyper-sensitive...at the very least.
