The Meadow?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Scott I sincerely desire to resolve any differences with you.

Let's act 'like men'. REAL MEN !

Why are you continuing this conversation in public? I don't care if your stance is constructive or destructive, it is of no interest to the general reader.

I'm not even sure how do do this unless there's 'a Meadow' and that NOT located in 'the Garbage Can'.

I'll NOT enter that section of Packerrats.

I see. You are above posting in that section, even though that's where Madtown has asked you to move your flame war. But you are not above spamming the forum with more of this tedious drivel.

I blame the self-appointed ENFORCERS of this forum, Scott Campbell, occassionally Skin Basket & Zool, a couple others, for inflaming most of the unpleasantness in this forum. They taunt people they don't like, such as yourself or Partial, and generate more negative reactions, drive people out of the forum. I hate that intolerance and nastiness.

I'm not reading your posts anymore, maybe will use the ignore button to save eye-scanning. It's not that I dislike you, it's the MASSIVE VOLUME that you are generating.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ignoramus.

you earned a spot on my ignore list too, Indiana Idiot.

Then just how do we resolve this without a means or thread to communicate? Why force me into 'the Garbage can?

Place me on IGNORE as that serves you Harlan.

Yes few members here can post the volume I can when I'm at my most productive. I'm past that now for certain prudent reasons.

Have a nice life Harlan.

keep up the good work!!

[Scott Campbell]

Great posting everyone!

[woodbuck27]

Yes that's the solution. Everyone in here puts a minumum of ten posters on IGNORE. Then we'll be simulating a real community. Ohh and where there is a man of color by all means he lands on alot of 'Whitey's' Ignore lists.

Come on Harlan contribute to 'a solution' not some backhanded reaction. What have I ever done to you man to get a blast from you?

No forget that take the easy route. You place me on IGNORE.

[woodbuck27]

Great posting everyone!

Great posting everyone.

[woodbuck27]

FYI for Scott and Woody - The bullshit from the Favre thread has been moved to a more appropriate thread in the GC. Please take your dispute there and keep it out of the Packers area and this thread as well. Please consider this an official warning.

Mad there's some REAL BS on page 440 of the Favre thread that's NOT been moved anywhere.

If I have to enter the Garbage Can to ever post SC. Will you 'at least show me the courtesy' of a guided tour? Maybe point out some of the 'really mean streets'?

THANKS

[Scott Campbell]

Great posting everyone.

Good post woodbuck27!

[MadtownPacker]

So I see scott and aynrand cant help themselves. Most unfortunate.

[MadtownPacker]

Hey Scott. please that 'Good post BS....knock it off and let's communicate..PLEASE.

Your NOT going to change. I assure you that I won't cahnge as well. We seem to rub one another the wrong way. Alot of that has to do with my position RE: Favre and there is will be more I'm guessing.

Scott I make the following statement with all honesty and concern for my membership here:

I will never sacrifice my integrity and dishonour all I was raised to be by very intelligent/smart and solidly decent people.

This whole thing has come to be a mess that even I do NOT fully understand nor can unravel.I'll not inform Packerrats of my intelligence level but it's extremely high. Few people have the gifts I was bless'd with. I'm not as you wish me to be. I'm NOT mentally ill. I'm hardly weak in any way.

I'm a very happy and healthy man.

All my life my intelligence, will to succeed and determination in life in a general sense was noticed and rewarded. This is a tough atmosphere in which to be treatedin any sense resembling TRUTH.

I read so much great stuff and some incredible BULLSHIT and LIES!

I'm lost as to what to do now. I know I cannot bend over backwards for some of the members of Packerrats. Well clearer...no member ....no owner either. I must stand by who I am.

If I am judged as a BAD member here I submit to a Final judgement.

Those that make such judgement 'as a negative against me' will suffer their own shame.

Scott......What happened to retailguy?

Note: When you get back after your "break" I just want to let you know I wasn't joking about you going back and forth with SC outside of the GC.

Yes, SC, I think the viewership in the Packer forum would increase if some posts like the one I mentioned were simply erased. The problem isn't any single post, the problem is that posts like it are designed to troll and start a fight, a back and forth that often consumes the thread, like woody and SC have been having here. That wasn't Skin taking a shot at Nutz or Mad taking a shot at Harlan. If you can stop the trolling and in-fighting, a number of former posters would have stayed. And I think whatever method Mad uses to add new posters would be more successful and keep those members around longer. I think the numbers would increase quite a bit over time.

And Skin, while I am not eager to have anyone police humor and I am sorry to hear that the RR was at one point humorless, it seems a small risk to run to keep the Packer forum civil. And Mad, its entirely possible a well intentioned soul could delete Fritz's comment about teachers, having (I think) misinterpreted it. But I doubt that deleting a post is permanent and if it becomes clear that an error was made, it can be corrected. The flow of the thread might be disrupted, but not as badly as the thread being overrun by a personal battle or having a poster throwing a fit and getting the whole thread tossed in the GC.

I do not claim to have any magical ability to discern what people want and what they will tolerate. If I did, I would work in TV or marketing. But if someone needs to tell Brandon he is too suburban to carry his attitude, it should go in a PM.

But something needs to be done other than off the rail threads being dumped in the GC. In fact, I think that form of control is counterproductive, giving the disruptive individual the power to torpedo an entire thread. The hard work in a good thread should be rewarded. Posts that simply seek to start a confrontation should be the target.

It will never be perfect, but having a conversation with one poster about a problematic post is far easier than explaining to 20 posters why a thread gets removed or gutted because of two people who lack self control.

So I see scott and aynrand cant help themselves. Most unfortunate.

They aren't the only ones. Only they don't have the ability to ban people in lieu of making an actual articulated point. Some would call that unfortunate.
