"Oh, my God, what is this? Why is he wearing a helmet?" "To protect his head." "It must be so uncomfortable." "Oh, he'll get used to it. I used to wear one when I was his age." "Your parents made you wear a helmet?" "No." ..... "I thought you were afraid of heights." "Snakes trump heights. It goes-germs, needles, milk, death, snakes, mushrooms, heights, crowds, elevators." ..... "So you remember how many empty boxes you saw?" It's a blessing, and a curse. It's a gift... and a curse.""

Thanks for posting that George, I see nothing on WS's post it is blank, maybe its my browser, Opera, or my isp.?? Anyway, thanks George that solves the mystery. -
"We didn't start out *following* him - we were delivered at his feet and thought that's where we should stay." Uh Oh, now you are being profound.... Shalom

This is also a good test on how the whole of the contributing posters of the GS community can deal with a trolling flamebaiter effectively. The ignore option is my favorite, this poster has already used up 2 or 3 pages of this important thread by derailing it into a personal attack via flame baiting, we shouldn't let it continue any longer. How screwed up does a person have to be to spend so much of their time on a web board fabricating and reincarnating themselves, and flaming posters in such a passive agressive fashion? This person does need the serious kind of help we cannot possibly provide. So sad.

As far as I'm concerned, Lucyvanpelt, whether you also go by Grumpy, or Bumpy, whatever you are calling yourself today, this will be the test of what the mods will do to a flagrant flamebaiter, poser and troll. Good luck in future postings, I am very interested in seeing how the mods will treat you.

A reason so many of those mini-mogs who were partaking in the "fruits" of leadership among our sisters in the faith fled like rats leaving a sinking ship after lcm was banished, is that it established a precedent that even at the most highest level, there was no true protection that twi could provide if someone spilled the beans on them and took them to court. I doubt Rosie would have footed the bill for their legal defense even if they were the trunk coordinator. Likewise, offshoots would be a natural fit and an easy transition for them to assimilate into, everything stays the same, no apologies needed, except vp is admired at a distance. Everyone I've ever met who partook in the free sex movement of twi, whether married, male or female, still do it, the only difference is they do it also with unbelievers now.

The only way to insure we get beyond this point and get to zen nirvana, is to actually ignore the posts that try to bring us back to the stone age and those who try to force the rest of us to ride the merry-go-round again. Pretty tall order to do, especially when something in your particular post sets them off, because of which you are then ganged up on, but its not impossible if the whole Greasespot community decides to ignore the rant. Another thread could be started to address the naysayer's points with posted refusals to not dislodge the current thread.

Columbo?

WW, go ahead and post a new one since I only half way solved it, I'd rather solve them than post them anyway.

bfh, don't know why you gave it to ws, but go ahead, I'd rather solve the puzzle than post a new one anyway. WS go ahead, you're up. -
This is a guess, "Once Upon Time"? I don't know the title or who sung it...anyone else know?

Try a Little Tenderness, Otis Redding, a classic. -
Gee, this is a first hand account, I don't really think we can take WD's word at this, Bob Dylan??...there is no proof he's actually telling the truth? Couldn't resist...

The irony here is that if Socks had included a reference to witnessed sexual impropriety involving vpee in this account, then the naysayers would be all over him to prove his vpw stowrie. Are they really asking for proof of sexual misconduct or is it just a veiled attempt of supression of any account that tarnishes the old man by picking on the most vulnerable of eye witnesses? Trying to controll and shut up the tellers of these accounts is also what's at stake here. The actuall suppression and dislodgment of any thread that includes information that is anti vpw is what's going on, gee, I thought it was the purpose of this website to shed light on these very things...

Sounds like the song from the movie Princess Bride.

WD, we don't know all the evidence concerning the Daniel Watson case, aside from the facts that the coroner has assessed there were no medical conditions to explain his wife's death, and they have determined her scuba gear had nothing wrong with it. So what do we do in this case? We wait, until all the evidence is presented and we have all the facts before we make a determination of guilt or innocence and make up our mind. Until then we shut up, we don't speculate and we don't pass judgement on whether whose telling the story correctly or not, we don't have all the facts. We don't call Daniel a liar, we can't really say whether he's telling the truth or not. Can we agree on this?
-
Please don't apologize, you made your point very clear, I was just adding to it, with a little irony sprinkled in. Your posts always are well written and have a lot of heart. It does get frustrating though, how many of us have made our points? I hope we are going to see more compassion from certain board members here when there is sensitive content on threads.

Dooj, this was suppossed to be the place where victims could tell their story. I think Paw has been way more than fair to those who've contradicted the victim's stories.
-
Oldies, maybe you shouldn't post that on the same thread, maybe it should be the start of new one, if the poster is saying they were victimized in some way, even if it was consentual sex, then you saying that would be harassing the victim and sort of insensitive of you....are you married? If so don't you tone it down a bit when speaking to women about subjects they deem sensitive? I'm sure I don't have to say this to you, you are a smart man, you can figure it out. The only reason I can see you posting something like that in the above scenario, is if you really don't care.

Bramble's post was right on and is the crux of the matter, the few posters who do this are showing signs of no restraint, we probably don't need more rules, just closer scrutiny on out of controll threads with more of us being watch dogs and reporting inappropriate comments. I personally felt the need to vent about the flamebait poster's behavior after the Kristen Skegal "Losing the Way" thread. The thread really didn't involve a victim posting, it involved the majority of posters on that thread getting revulsed and moved by the actions of vpw as told by Kristin in her podcast with Paw and the flamebaiters. Those here choosing up sides and rationalizing perceived behaviors can dialogue all they want, those of us who saw the degredation of that thread and the flamebaiting that went on know what it looks like and will report it when it happens again. Losing posting privileges has always been the consequence of flamebaiting and trolling.

Good one George! Is it Grey's Anatomy?

....Bumpy??....??

Then, there's the frustration watching another thread get derailed again due to the constant flogging of dead horse objections and tired arguements by the pro waybrain apologists. Trolling and flamebaiting are against this site's rules, those who partake in such practices to start a flame debate just because they don't like the content or phraseology of the non waybrained posters are going to get posts deleted, as we've seen, time out restrictions from posting, we've seen that too, and ultimately get banned if their acts are agregeous and repetitive enough.
