It's great to be home

[jack's smirking revenge]

I agree that there should be a harrassment policy, or some kind of "restraining order". I've read many posters over the last week come to verbal blows. Harlan's right--it does ruin the experience for everybody. This place has over 600 posters now and many pages devoted (or many threads deleted) solely to drama of two or three people having b@tchfests.

Right? Wrong? Who knows and who cares. The point is that little is settled over keystrokes. Everyone has a different opinion or position on a statement or content of a dialogue. Even in this b@tchfest, I tend to take Harlan's side because I know some of this history. But my opinion doesn't matter. The only thing that TRULY matters is the perception that this place is turning into Days Of Our Lives, the Nort edition.

It should never ever get to a point where a poster feels alienated enough to leave this place for good.

Honestly, I don't care. I've learned to ignore the majority of this place because of drama. Others will too....

The policy should be to take all your drama to PM's or have your post axed

I have to think other people are not so entertained.

I tend to agree with you HH. It's not fun having a thread get hijacked because of a personal vendetta (oh the irony I realize I am as guilty as any here). I don't know the history between you two, but it certainly seems as Scotty does pick on you. I don't know if you push his buttons deliberately or not, but you two should hop on the AIM/MSN/Yahoo! and figure out your differences and at the very least agree to be civil with one another.

As for the harrassment policy, I think if a user feels strongly enough about the harrassment to inform a moderator/admin, then they should step in and at the very least inform the harrasser of the harrassees feelings on the issue.

Awhile back, Scott went a little overboard ripping Woody. Harlan stuck up for Woody in his own (maybe somewhat shady) way. Woody and Scott have made up. Harlan still takes their grudge seriously. Scott likes to rib him. That about sums it up.

I don't blame either. I blame both. Quite honestly, I think Harlan should lighten up a bit. He used to be the guy who had the wry sense of humor. Now, he comes across as a guy that's wound too tightly. Harlan, you are still one of the all-time favs on this forum, so we still luv ya. We need you on that wall. Scott is also a personal fav of mine.

Harlan, Woody and Scott made up. You guys certainly can do the same. You never were one to get too bent out of shape, and you could give as good as you got. We want that Blue Dog back.

I think there is a significant point being obscured here. If all Harlan wanted was this to be stopped, he'd be acting much differently.

His hidden agenda goes beyond stopping me. He wants me labled as the bad guy. And he wants his label back as the good guy. He shifts the smear campaign into high gear, and then cries harrassment when I retaliate.

I think I know what a victim looks like, and Harlan ain't no victim despite his attempts to play one. Look more carefully at his agenda. It's plenty obvious.

As for taking it offline - it is offline. This is the Romper Room. If people don't want to read it, they don't have to. I had to read about all of Jack and Michele's issues, so turnabout seems fair enough to me.

Partial makes a reasonable point about thread jacking. If he doesn't want it in here and requests that I start a new thread - I will.

The difference is that my and Michele's issues are a primary reason of why this place was created. I'd still be at JSO if none of that shit happened...and most of us still would too.

Harvey, I don't have a clue what you are refering to, it is almost certainly untrue.

As far as me making up with Scott: I do not want to be his friend. Or enemy. I have just asked that he end his harassment. Nobody should be pressured to befriend someone they disrespect.

I have only posted here three times in the last four weeks. Each time, I intended to make one or two light-hearted remarks. Scott Campbell comes in picking fights, ugliness ensues. Accusing me of losing my sense of humor is quite unfair.

Sorry I am in poor spirits. I am completely done with this unpleasant situation.

Not at all. I don't care about you in any way. My intention was not even to be here much at all. I just wanted you to go away. I asked you dozens of times over the last 3 months to just leave me alone.

I tend to agree with a lot of this as well. I also couldn't care less about the thread jacking.

Jack, I really don't like pointing out that you've gotten into it over here too, but you've kind of backed me into a corner. You and Mad. Michele and Nick. Hey, people get into it once in a while. No biggie. I like how you conduct yourself, and respect your opinion. Same goes for Michele. Just don't agree here.

Harlan has had free reign to spin his version of the "event", and I've kept quiet about what he did for the most part out of respect for Woody - believe it or not. Harlan has engaged in a smear campaign from that day forward, and continues the campaign even now as he cries harrassment.

You may have taken his side on the issue, and that's fine. But I'm not sure you've heard both sides. Now Harlan keeps bringing it up over and over again, and each time the fish gets bigger and bigger. At some point I feel like I deserve the opportunity for a rebuttal.

I should say Scott went way overboard on the Woody thing when he posted a personal email--which I thought was pretty classless. People make mistakes though. Harlan has. Scott has. Overall, they are both good forum members. Harlan, I'd just ignore the asshole and he'll quit replying to your posts.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Basically, what I'm saying is that Scott made a mistake initially. Now, Harlan's acting like a big pussy. You know you guys want to french kiss and make up.

Agreed. I think that's a totally fair assessment. That's why much of what I'd have to say would be a sort of confession.

LOL

Well I'd say there were a bunch of mistakes made, some of them mine. One was quite a doozy. I think Harlan would like it if we'd all just concentrate on what I did, and forget the rest.
