Seguine,

Stop making comments about me, then. You had no reason to make the first remark, and it was inaccurate. I'm really quite fed up with your bullshit, and your LOATHE function can go to red alert for all I give a fuck.

1217. Seguine - 4/5/2000 12:31:35 AM

CalGal,

My comment was not a slight, you self-obsessed psychotic. And who really cares what you're fed up with?

1218. Seguine - 4/5/2000 12:57:09 AM

For the record, my opinion is:

1. Cazart has behaved as Raskolnikov has characterized him: a pest.

2. CalGal dealt with Cazart appropriately in her thread.

3. IndianaJones dealt with Cazart appropriately; as he has pointed out, Wabbit may overrule him if she sees fit.

4. It was appropriate for CalGal to ask Indy to announce his decision publicly.

5. In future, as a matter of policy, all such decisions should be announced.

1219. CalGal - 4/5/2000 2:21:55 AM

I didn't say it was a slight. I said it was inaccurate. I corrected it, then I got the "oh, please", etc. And I don't think anyone cares any more about my being fed up than they do about your "LOATHE function"--and yet, we both announce it because it makes us feel better.

That being said, I agree with your 1218, and I hope we can all drop the Caz issue.

"I didn't say it was a slight. I said it was inaccurate. I corrected it, then I ...."

Thank god someone has set out to determine once and for all whether an energetic enough drill can drive a loose screw all the way to China.

Based upon Cazart's recent posts in TT, I'm in favor of converting the disabling to semi-permanent banning (meaning, in a year or so, we might give him/her another chance—I think almost anyone has the potential for rehabilitation.)

1222. Raskolnikov - 4/5/2000 5:34:28 AM

"I think almost anyone has the potential for rehabilitation"

Liberal.

1223. dusty - 4/5/2000 5:57:37 AM

Hey, this isn't the Inferno.

1224. Raskolnikov - 4/5/2000 6:05:24 AM

Sorry, I was distracted by the sight of blood coming out of your heart.

  1. Needless abuse

    The definition of "needless" and "abusive" are left to the thread host, whose word is final. Any posts that are deemed abusive will be deleted. Understand that standards are set by the host. Continually abusive behavior may be grounds for banning.

    It goes without saying that this has holes you can drive trucks through. This is intentional. The inventiveness of a small minority forces us to be vague.


Except for the opportunity to read such fresh and sparkling prose as "holes you can drive a truck through," what's the point of this rule?

1227. Seguine - 4/5/2000 10:42:06 AM

Exactly. But Soup, if you scroll back (considerably), you'll find that there was an effort made here to rewrite the rules so that they addressed these issues a little less adolescently, while ultimately leaving all interpretation of matters like "needless abuse" to the moderator.

We are still waiting for a semi-final draft from Irving, who has until recently been on some sort of sports-inflected vacation in the Land of the Great Satan.

1228. wabbit - 4/9/2000 1:26:58 AM

Can we come to some sort of agreement amongst ourselves, as if we were a group of adults who don't need every damn thing spelled out in black and white?

If someone used to use their real name for posting online and they ask that their name not be used here anymore, don't use it. Don't link to it either. It's a simple enough courtesy, isn't it?



1229. Indiana Jones - 4/9/2000 5:50:00 AM

wabbit: I have replied to your recent email. If you don't receive it, please let me know.

1255. ChristinO - 9/27/2000 7:20:09 AM

The previous posts were deleted as they pertain to a policy debate at another forum. Please discuss TableTalk policies at TableTalk. Posts pertaining to their policies that turn up here will be deleted.

1256. Nostradamus - 9/27/2000 7:29:24 AM

The Mote is now censoring substantive posts because they threaten to expose the truly horrendous behavior of former gatekeeper, IndianaJones. I don't care how much you dislike me personally, for the good of this place, you've got to stop this unbelievable, outrageous, despicable coverup NOW.

1257. ChristinO - 9/27/2000 7:36:43 AM

IndianaJones tenure as gatekeeper here was to the best of my knowledge without fault. He conducted himself with integrity to the satisfaction of this forum.

The behavior of posters in other forums as alleged by those who have proven themselves to have little credibility is nothing to do with this forum.

If you have a problem with the behavior of a poster at another forum then pursue a solution within that forum. Continued attempts to do so here will be deleted.

1258. RosettaStone - 9/27/2000 9:53:06 AM

IJ is innocent and the worse thing you can do is a coverup of a non-crime.

Why you want to make this a bigger issue in TT is beyond me, ChristinO.

Clearly you don't understand the negative aspects of bad publicity.

1259. Nostradamus - 9/27/2000 9:58:49 AM

Rosie

Can you help me to get to the bottom of this one way or the other?

What can you tell me about Stinky's Piggery (a website allegedly set up by the soon to be former Mote Gatekeeper, IndianaJones)? Have you ever been there?

As I've said all along, all I'm interested in is the truth. If the guy's innocent, he should be cooperating instead of sending these 2 clowns to cover his tracks and hide the truth from this forum.

1260. ChristinO - 9/27/2000 10:05:37 AM

RosettaStone,

Did you not read what I said? Whether or not Indy had issues at TableTalk has no bearing whatsoever on his performance here. He was approved by a majority of members of this forum and he did his job well. As he is no longer to serve in that capacity his track record at some other forum is even less important now than it ever was.

There is no cover-up. Nos or you or anyone else is free to discuss this and pursue whatever information is available, but not in this forum. This is a TableTalk Issue and has nothing to do with us.

1261. RosettaStone - 9/27/2000 10:46:47 AM

I've never been there, Nos. I just know that IJ is a good person and not a stalker.

Much of the hostility between cazart and Mitch/IJ comes from the fact the he thinks cazart is JadeGold. And I believe him.

He did link to mote once a head shot of TT moderator Mary Beth. But that picture came from Salon's own publicity site of their employees. Big deal.
