New rules at Unk's

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Troll-free Private Saloon : One Thread

Don't steal someone's handle. If you wish to parody Z, call yourself Y or X or something, he is threatening to take his marbles and leave. (again)

Don't whine.

If a post upsets you, ignore it.

If you don't like how this place is run, hit the fuckin road.

But the most important rule of all...

I can change or disregard the rules at my whim...it's an ownership thing.

Excellent. Especially the part about whiners hitting the fuckin road.

Hmmm, I don't see as how the original rules have changed much unkie. You're the mod~! Not being a handle changer meself, hasn't much of an effect. You can be sheriff in my Mayberry anytime, and the trolls are the bumbling Barneys-LOL-just around for amusement!

Won't change your original rules huh?

I don't care if the real Z leaves. Can't think of a thing I'd miss about him. But, I gotta say, the fake Z has had the BEST posts seen on this board since its inception. Please stay, fake Z, and more more more! If real Z is really leaving (LOL!), you need to post twice as much to make up for it. Call yourself Y or X or whatever the hell you want to, it's not as though you're unrecognizable!

Great new rules, Unk. LOL!

I still think dIEteR should invite the doomers for a reunion party. It would bring Flint back, which would bring Decker back, which would bring LL back (like she's ever left), and things would get back to "normal". Yeah. That would be good.

Luv ya, Unk.

Unk, does this mean anyone can say anything they like about you or your family and you'll ignore it?

Unk's not a crybaby like you, he knows that sticks and stones can break your bones but names will never hurt you. In fact most normal people learn that when they are about 3 years old. Grow up and get over it, wimpy.

OK.

Did I let the criticism about the way I run this place bother me more than I should have? Sure, I'm human too, and I try my best to be fair and even handed.

Look, my email address is after every post I make. It's on the first page too, well, at the bottom of a long page sure, but it's there. I have in the past deleted things because I was asked to do so by email. If somebody steals your handle, or posts something downright nasty and ugly about you all ya gotta do is write and ask, I'm not a total tyrant ya know, nor am I completely without feelings.

So here is another new rule...

If you have a question or problem write to me and ASK ME for help. Why the need to make such a big stinkin shitstorm about it?

One other thought...

There are times when my real world life takes me away from this forum and I am not around to inflict my wisdom upon you. Doesn't mean I don't care about y'all, cause I do. All of you. You are, to the best of my knowledge, adults, therefore I assume that you will somehow be able to survive those lonely times when I am not here.

"If a post upsets you, ignore it."
Unk, does this mean anyone can say anything they like about you or your family and you'll ignore it?

I do. some people accuse me of being something I am not, make derogitory remarks about my physical appearance and such. But I ignore it, mainly because to engage in a reply would give "control" over my actions to the person doing it.
Besides, when "it" hysterically rants on about me, "it" has allowed me to control "it's" emotions and thoughts.

So whenever I once again see one of "its" "Cherri is..." rants, I have to laugh at the irony involved.

-- Cherri (whatever@who.cares), August 02, 2002.


Yeah Cherri, I must admit that you take the cake for ignoring slings and arrows around here.
