"Hell" is an invention made to frighten ignorant peasants into toeing the rich churches line.

Visions of u and your new specs logging in as apaches lol!

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

I personally do not like the guest post thing.

Will bring the tone of the place down IMHO.

But that's just me.

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

You actually think that is possible?

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

Don't hold back Morgan! ;)

I've always had an appreciation for the classics! :okthumb:

Once upon a time I believed that people could be shamed into doing the right thing. Then I started kindergarten and that was the end of that. :)

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

Ah Jspringer.. I wondered how long it would take you to post. :wankit:

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

My point exactly.

;-)

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

As a supporter of European Lee One needs to be reminded of glasshouses and stones.

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

*wince*
Ouch.
That's gonna leave a mark.

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

I'm a supporter of you to Nick.

And that was childish for a man of your age.

I don't play schoolyard favorites, I'm a little past that.

From you, pathetic AND childish.

Really.

:-(

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

You think ?

Grow up.

:-(

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

Nick was screwed up the ass w/o lube or dinner first by Lee - I think he has every right to say what he said.

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

I should say I like the both of you, Lee personally and you intuitively, but businesswise, I would trust you both about equally.

:-)

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

That was an attempt at levity. Apparently, a badly formed one for which I take responsibility and apologize.

I most certainly do not want you harmed in any way, which is how you - I believe - interpreted it. It was not intended to be interpreted that way. I was under the impression that this entire thread was just a bit lighter than it obviously is.

So...you truly think that the "tone" of Oprano is so low that it can't be lowered. A very low opinion of this board, indeed. One may justifiably enquire as to why you're here?

If you chose to let that "grow up" comment stand, so be it. You've never struck me as that kind of person in our admittedly short acquaintance, however. You've always seemed much nicer a person than that.

Exchange barbs with Nick to your heart's content. But please don't snipe at me. I take absolutely nothing on any message board personally except being misunderstood. If I say something that offends you, please do me the courtesy of finding out what I meant first.

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

As I have every right to say what I said my dear.

The thing is if you spill milk and stand still you get sticky feet

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

Your snipe = my snipe

Your apology = an equal apology from this corner.

My only original point was a personal one that if guests can post then there is a danger that the board I do enjoy pretty much most of all may suffer (I even said at the end of my post IMHO).

So mutual misunderstanding I think is from what we suffer my friend.

And for that, I warmly and sincerely apologise.

*huggles on CTB* :yowsa:

I wonder if anyone lurking will observe what rational people can accomplish if the genuinely try to communicate with each other? (One can dream!)

I want to believe...no, change that...I *need* to believe that the "tone" of the board will always be set by the grownups. Certainly, with the new allowing of anonymous posters, we'll have drive by insults. But it will always be our choice whether or not we rise when baited...or amuse ourselves by pissing, should it be the mood to do so.

Remember being a newbie? The questions, the concerns...the deep seated feeling that the question you're about to ask is going to make you look like an idiot and no one will ever do business with you again? I remember that vividly. One of the first thing I thought of was that anonymous posting will allow the novice webmasters to have those posts that always seem to start with "this may be a dumb questions, but..." without fear. All the novices out there reading this that have questions...well...ask them! :) Don't register yet, just post your questions and get your answers anonymously. When you feel ready, register and establish your identity in the business.

CTB, you can look at anything from different perspectives. Will we get assholes? You betcha. Will we get people who genuinely want help but have been too timid to ask? I most devotely hope so.

You and I can get together sometime and run a workshop on "How to Be an Adult in Adult." :D

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

Well said Morgan.

We will have assholes posting whether they have to register or not. People who choose to remain anon, have posted under aliases so no one knows who they are, this is really no different.

And You're right about the noobs being intimidated. Hopefully, this will help them to get over their fear and eventually join the mix as themselves.

Re: "Guests" ..read this...
 

I don't disagree Morgan, one of the things I love most about this place has been the "put up or shut up" attitude of the hardcore members towards new faces.

I myself was put through intitiation by fire when I first began posting (ah, the sweet memories), but unlike MANY others over time, I stepped up to the plate, copped it sweet and gave it back as good as I got. And here I am today bad Elton John tune playing in background.

Oprano to me has always been about establishing your bonafides, and my PERSONAL concern about the guest thing is it lets peeps hide behind the veil of anonymity.

There may obviously be a method behind that madness that I am unaware of (and I could almost smell that with this being Nick's board), and I respect that, it is just personally I see the cons altogether too clearly. That is my 2c and my 2c only.

On your workshop idea, the real pity is that the really sad thing about common sense is that it is not so common.

But you and I and like minded others can ALWAYS enjoy some cold beverages and each other's company, anytime - mi casa es su casa when it comes to friends IMHO.

We can even invite Gonzo. That way we can also have donuts.
