Guest Chaney Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Nastiness & This Board: At an all time high? I really have to ask the question as I've found it very troublesome that so many threads seem to feature nasty comments, either directed at another poster or a musician / writer / celebrity of one ilk or another. Nothing wrong with disagreement but the manner in which that disagreement is being expressed seems to be getting more and more personal and ugly Old topic? Blame it on the Political Forum? I'm not suggesting that we go all Hoffman but maybe we could tone it down a bit? Comments? Quote
J.A.W. Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Couldn't agree more. I think we all know by now who dislikes whom and why. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I haven't noticed anything particularily bad. Seems to me the normal animosities are all here, but that's nothing new. Quote
couw Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I agree with Chaney. Now let's all play some seriously stoopid tunes and dance the booty off Quote
SGUD missile Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 very true ..there are FAR more hostile environments than this one!! Quote
J.A.W. Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) I haven't noticed anything particularily bad. Seems to me the normal animosities are all here, but that's nothing new. It's the endless recurrence of the same comments, remarks and arguments (re WM, Crouch or Phil Schaap, for instance) from both sides over and over again that gets really boring in my view. Ignoring them is a problem, as they're also cropping up in threads where you don't expect them... Edited to try and clarify what I mean. Edited February 11, 2005 by J.A.W. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Maybe everyone has cabin fever. Quote
Guy Berger Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Weird... I haven't really noticed anything. Guy Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Weird... I haven't really noticed anything. Guy That's because you're a frickin' moronic donkey-ass jerkwad. Quote
Jim Dye Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I haven't noticed either. If anything, I think everyone has been much nicer now that the election is over. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Yes, fatal resignation does that. . . makes one less feisty. I don't think it's been worse or anything. I just dance around it for the most part. Keeps me limber! Quote
etherbored Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I think we all know by now who dislikes whom and why. i don't... but i agree that things should be kept as respectful as possible. even though i can't say my taste runs parallel with everyone around here i nonetheless respect yous guys opinions and intelligence. regards, -e- Quote
JSngry Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Weird... I haven't really noticed anything. Â Â Guy That's because you're a frickin' moronic donkey-ass jerkwad. At least he's not a donkey-ass moron who no like jazz. Quote

Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 never heard anything quite as bad as this! Quote
wesbed Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I haven't noticed anything particularily bad. Seems to me the normal animosities are all here, but that's nothing new. As people become more comfortable with each other... more honest and heartfelt words may be offered. This board has been in existence with many of the same posters for a couple of years. We've dealt with a war, a heated presidential election, an odd economy, a change in the hosting company, disagreements brought in from other bulletin boards, the death of some of the jazz greats, the sale of a major jazz label, Martha Stewart, Michael Jackson, and Scott Peterson. You know? I agree with b3-er. I don't notice much of anything different from how it's always been. I'm glad the posts are still flowing on a daily basis. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I'm bored....when the hell is Johnny coming back from maternity leave?? B-) Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I'm bored....when the hell is Johnny coming back from maternity leave?? B-) It's not nastiness. You guys just need it each other. It's a sort of symbiotic relationship. Quote
The Red Menace Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 If there is any truth to this alleged uptick in "nastiness," comrades, I submit that we may attribute it to the mysterious disappearance of Achtung Dr. Freud Calling. Now there is a true uniter-not-a-divider!!! Where could he have gone??? Do you suppose he's been called in to examine at length the addled noggin of a certain American chief executive??? Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 maybe there ought to be a new feature that allows you to edit other people's posts - might make things more interesting - Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 maybe there ought to be a new feature that allows you to edit other people's posts - might make things more interesting - Now that's a great idea! Quote
RDK Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 maybe there ought to be a new feature that allows you to edit some other asshole's post - might make things more exciting around here - Don't really need a new feature... Quote
sonic1 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 maybe there ought to be a new feature that allows you to edit other people's posts - might make things more interesting - Now that's a absolutely terrible idea! Allenlowe I hate you. o Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) As mom always said, "If you have nothing nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all." Edited February 11, 2005 by Hardbopjazz Quote
