Prop it

Petroleum was very much on the mind of the Propeller community this week. But so was Karl Rove, gay rights, and a certain, extremely charming jackass.

        I love the way there's never anything done about the insults, they just continue to do it over and over, and regardless of how much you report them, it does no good. The main reason i comment very little and submit nothing anymore. Not worth the stress of being stalked from thread to thread, having people talk about my family, intelligence, hygiene, and anything else they can think of to be insulting. I am opinionated, but i never attack anyones family, that's where i draw the line, but there's nothing done about them anymore.
        Then there's the constant promises of a new and improved Propeller, that we are going to love, how long has that been coming along, a year or so?? What happened to that. Enough.

        I can't support a site that promotes and rather encourages the degradation of some members. When nothing is done about the guilty parties then it appears acceptable, however it goes way beyond the TOU. Why have a TOU if they aren't goint to inforce it?

        Best advice is to report and ignore. Responses only encourage abusive commenters to continue.

        Send a message to the Anchor on duty with a copy of the alleged abusive comment. They aren't sweeping through every thread looking for it, you have to report it. Show them enough instances of repeated abuse and the member will be contacted with a warning. Repeated or egregious abuse brought to their attention is usually attended to in time.

        On the contrary, Tessy. I've generally been quite attentive to your complaints, and have also cut you a lot of slack when you've violated the TOU yourself--because I thought your heart was in the right place.

        Of course your heart is in the right place, but to understand those with opposing views is to also understand that many of them have opposing morals..
        I can think of 3 offhand..Sniper (who sent me a nasty personal message last year, FSU grad who lover the attention and loves to pick a fight, and the idiot from Toronto whose name rightfully escapes me but who hasn't been here for about a year..

        Thanks luv; but ranch is somewhat right, I am rude when insulted or my family insulted and there are a half doz. or so on here that being rude to is my approach.
        Ranch's problem is he thinks anything coming out of his mouth is golden, he will even put words in your mouth to insult, but most of all, he can't take being proven wrong, he just skirts the issue, probably because he wears them, and not to be confused with kilts.
        But you keep your chin up, Nov. will show him up.

        N2N is trying to set you up. Just like she tried with my poor little friend Tessy. But that backfired.
        N2N , Hannibal, knows that our personalities clash and I hate to admit it but that's because we are too much alike. But I can tell you this if he needed me I would be there and he knows it.

        No .."Sniper" or "sniper1" sent me a vulgar e-mail and I reported it because it was inappropriate..
        The Canadian was mapleleaf or toronto guy, or something like that, who much like Alfalfa, just wanted to be rude..
        Hannibal is not rude.

        LOL He even admits it and you deny what he said. Hanni's name was just thrown out there as a maybe. Jump on it. Alfalfa wasn't rude. He was a investigator for sexual assault crimes mostly one year old and up. he had no patience with rapists. He saw first hand what horrors ,pain and scars these babies went through. I admired him because he was trained to spot offenders of most horrendous kind.

        Alfala could be Mother Teresa, but that gives him no reason to be anti-social.. Why, who is advocating patience for rapists..
        I knew an older gentleman who was a member of the prestigious Harvard University Key Club for Harvard Grads..he may have been brilliant as a student, but his kids grew up as mental miidgets and he left his do out on frozen nights and it froze to death. he couldn't park his car in a decent way and often left it extended out of his driveway only to get struck overnight by passing vehicles...He probably needed a map and a
        and an escort to cross the street safely..
        One day one of our neighbors was being robbed at gunpoint and he saw it through the window..What did he do?? call the police?? no!!! he ( a man in his 60's)went in with a baseball bat to overcome them and they pistol whipped him...
        So, was he a genius??
        So, is Alfalfa justified in being rude to strangers?
        The answer to both is NO!!

        It makes it harder to understand what he is saying; no longer has the faintest shred of irony; and it distracts from his frequently valuable content.

        Freedom of expression for all, no? So, I'm partaking of my freedom to criticize his so-called "sense of style". Sure, he's free to interpret himself any ole way he pleases. I'm equally free to say he is full of it and that his "style" went stale long before he began doing it as "Goppy". Some agree, some don't.
        Freedom of expression.

I would vote for people like Stephen Johnson, Formidable, Sonofmask, Alpha, h saleem, Cactus annie, smithitchi,catstevens, dicax maximus, tangling, red river, pc25, Timaloftis... klarissa, nixie,Ani,stoners
    ,spadecaller,aceofspades, James Marcus.
    And even ,gag, jovial,and neophile, gag,.
    And many others before I chose goppy.

      & Johnny allegedly said to her that:"I would if you'd get rid of that darn cat!"

Between last week and this week's WIR we all just seem like like such a dour and angry bunch... Sigh... Well it's not from my lack of trying, and the donkey was cute. :)
And Goppy said "ding dang" on two separate occasions... That was cool.

Be careful now, James. If you ever write a bad WIR, ranchhand can send you a picture of the xxx (other end) of his xxx (domesticated animal).

" MajJohn disagreed: "In the due course of carrying out his duties in office, the President is entitled to have his communications kept private, or his office would become subordinate to Congress.
i guess i am the only one that thinks these reviews r bs...the neo con talking points r given credence and reforced by the author week after week
i pasted majjohns bs as an example..whr in the constitution does it say that john? NO WHR just like exectutive priveledge doesnt exist in the constitution...it is a gift from the supreme court and even they have put limits on it,military or foriegn policy "secrets" only....so which part of rove ignoring a congressional supeona is covered when the questioning is about the us justice department being used for political purposes?

  1. Wow, Michael the Rat Boy submitted something. I guess you were tired of waiting for AlphaG to submit something and then give her kudos.
  2. Like you are so original wolfie. All I recall you ever saying to someone was how their mothers should have considered abortion when they were pregnant with them. You must be an abortion who lived wolfie.
  3. AlphaG must have a yeast infection. You know - the froth and foam reference
