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. 1226. soupisgoodfood - 4/5/2000 9:46:33 AM
- 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. 1262. Nostradamus - 9/27/2000 10:57:05 AM Rosetta
You've been misinformed and I think I can give you enough evidence to prove it. Email me jonathanferguson@sprint.ca or give me your email address. 1263. Michael Mele - 9/27/2000 11:13:55 AM 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?
Yawn.
Gee, this is exactly like home. And I mean exactly. I keep expecting muel powell to wander in with a new definition of hypocrisy or something.
The Inspector Javert wrinkle is a little dispiriting. Plus ça change ... 1264. Nostradamus - 9/27/2000 11:36:39 AM Michael
The difference is, they don't promote regular Joe TTers to Marybeth status, do you get the distinction? Here, this guy was (and as far as I know, still is) the gatekeeper. Do you not see why this makes concerns about prior privacy violations valid?
1265. Nostradamus - 9/27/2000 11:38:00 AM I mean, I don't care if we have axe murderers and druglords POSTING, that's just gonna add a bit of variety. 1266. RosettaStone - 9/27/2000 12:05:12 PM MM: Muel claims that he does post on mote, although under another moniker, and I've never recognized his ID.
DH1000 was here at the beginning in the Politics thread but got beat up badly by our heavyweights (I'm as thin as a twig), and never returned. 1267. CalGal - 9/27/2000 12:24:28 PM Michael,
At least we keep our garbage hidden. (g)
Besides, we have a lot fewer obsessives here. 1268. Indiana Jones - 9/27/2000 12:51:46 PM 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?
Once again, the liar Nostra-dumbass wishes to stir shit rather than find truth. (Previously he demonstrated as much by not contacting Mary Beth Williams herself, who would easily know the answer to this matter without an "investigation" and who was the person I suggested, but rather Nostra-dumbass contacts a third person--making a jackanapish fool of himself in the process--and thus continues the libelous, hamhanded smear.)
Please check the first post in the following TableTalk thread in Salon Central: "To be opened in the the event of my death: The Last Will and Testament Thread."
You will see the post links to the URL for the so-called "Stinky's Piggery." You will also see that the post below that one describes the linked page as empty...and I could use that evidence to say the site has always remained empty, but it has not. (In fact, it currently houses the Mote Movie. Incidentally, the real problem cazart has always had with the site is that he didn't like the selection of Peter Lorre for his image and wrote to wabbit asking her to make me change it. Which I "sort of" did, hee-hee. Tell me, Nostra, just for curiosity's sake, who's the bigger crybaby, you or cazart?)
The topic has never been deleted from Salon Central, nor has the post linking to the Web site been deleted either. I suggest that were "Stinky's Piggery" to have ever housed a site "stalking" Mary Beth Williams, TableTalk would hardly have allowed a link to it to remain in Salon Central. Nor would the thread likely contain less than 25 posts, all of them purely boring in content.
