Guest DizzySpells Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 As was noted in another thread, DizzySpells=Deus62 Is that really true? I thought someone guessed that, but was told no?

Jim Alfredson Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I cannot believe this has gone on for 20 pages. Seriously. I am utterly speechless. You know what I spent the day doing? Writing music. Playing with my daughter. Hanging out with fellow musicians and having a good time, creating. I think some people here need to focus on their real lives. I cannot believe so much venom has been generated by me banning a little twit from some little space on the internet. Aric must be laughing his butt off right now. Oh right, he can't see the board. I'm currently discussing plans with our new manager to take Organissimo to the next level. Which means this board is going to get a whole lot busier when we're successful. What then? If this is a precursor to things to come.... I'm going to have to hire not one new moderator, but about 20! RainyDay, nice to see you here again. I never meant to drive you off. If my comments were curt, I apologize, but I think you generally agree with my sentiment, which was if you don't like it, don't look at it. However, I am trying to be more sensitive to things that offend people and/or things that could bring trouble to me personally or to the band as a whole. Death threats are one. Porn is another. Anti-semitism is another. Racism, sexism are others. It's a lot to keep up with. This whole thing with che needs to be in the political section. Please don't air it here. Better yet, take it to email or PM. I closed the thread. I don't know what else I can do other than ban him, which... considering how many problems banning Aric has cause, would seemingly cause the board to implode upon itself. I dare not!!!! I'm just at a loss at why people would leave over this... and I've even received a PM from one who did and I still don't get it. I also don't understand bringing up GregM in all this. LET GO OF THE PAST, please! I mean, I've already admitted, several times, that I did not handle that situation very well. And I apologized. But that doesn't mean I want the guy back here. It just means I'm learning as I'm going. It was a beautiful day here in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if I was gonna zip someone from a board, I'd just zip 'em...no need to go public and set in motion a first class melee. Someone threatens people....ya just flip the switch and miraculously, they just never post again. These untidy cyber liquidations are so............soooooo Red Menace-like.

maren Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) I cannot believe this has gone on for 20 pages. Seriously. I am utterly speechless. Yeah, I certainly don't have time to read the whole thing! You know what I spent the day doing? Writing music. Playing with my daughter. Hanging out with fellow musicians and having a good time, creating. I've had tons of work, not as happy-sounding as your day, but still a feeling of accomplishment. RainyDay, nice to see you here again. Ditto! ...If my comments were curt, I apologize... Another "ditto" to RainyDay -- I don't think I was curt, but it did seem like we had disagreed about something (civilly, I thought!) right about the time you left. I think some people here need to focus on their real lives. I cannot believe so much venom has been generated by me banning a little twit from some little space on the internet. Aric must be laughing his butt off right now. Removed from another post and pasted here: Shunning, exclusion, silence are the tools many societies use to punish unwanted behavior! And I think these are often the most effective tools against a certain kind of troublemaker who wants attention! Time-out! Look: the rules stated at the inception of this board spell it out quite clearly. If you ask me, Aric was asking for banning. People sometimes do that -- act provocatively in order to provoke a response! Duh! Jim, the creator of this virtual space, did not ignore what he perceived as a problem. So, we can best help Jim by getting over it. Somebody answer Berigan about the the tenor solo on "Boporistic"!!!!

Brownian Motion Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Wow, this place sure is going to hell in a hand basket. Since Jim informed me some months ago I don't need to post here, I'm sure my opinion is not wanted (and for the record, I am not going to post further so everyone can breathe easy). But I must say, you have let a twit like Che goad you all into acting like third graders. And it isn't the end of the world if someone is banned or walks away. The board is not going up in flames. There are many other threads. You CHOOSE to post on this thread that you claim upsets you because you need to have the last word. That's the kind of stupid shit that will eventually kill this place. You don't need an ignore function. You need to act like adults and just walk away. If you can't do that, then I guess you're right. Kill the board with your silly posturing. Che is doing to you all what SS1 did do Aric. Carry one. Apparently being "right" and being the last person to be "right" is more important than talking about jazz.

And I think that some understanding has come from today's postings. Okay... I do have a life. But since I'm on the computer anyway, why not hang out here. I do think we need to deal with our grievances with each other. Personally, I think that PM's are the way to do it, but sometimes these things need to be discussed. I could be all cool and act like I don't give a damn if people are upset, but I do. I guess that's one of my weaknesses. Have a nice evenin' y'all, or morning for our friends abroad.

littleleekonitz Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hello everybody, My buddy Aric told me about what was going on in this forum, and he wanted me to come on to read what everybody was saying about him. I have known Aric since I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. He is one crazy mutha. I also think that it is totally hilarious that people are talking about him this much. I wonder if he has every gotten this much attention in his whole entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this messy public spectacle of which you speak... simply a glorious subterranean confession and re-education followed by a swift bullet to the back of the head. Oh my, those were the days!!!

Alexander Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Back on the old Blue Note BB, I opposed Aric's banishment and agitated for his reinstatement. Not this time! His behavior is completely out of line. Insults are one thing. Threats are quite another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 How did I miss all this action??? This is giving me bad flashbacks - the Aric bannings at the old BNBB, his begging to reform, his eventual return, and all falling apart again into the usual insanity. For all those who weren't there, Aric will undoubtably beg to return and say he is reformed. I fell for this before and it's a temporary respite until he is back to pissing off everyone. I didn't realize that Maltz and DEEP have been banned here. DEEP is a good guy but he often goes insane, in an Aric kind of way, so it's probably best he's not here. Maltz has always been a nutjob and it's nice not having to deal with him. SS-1/Jeff - I'm shocked it took so long for you guys to fiinally have it out - this is an ancient fight!!!!!

Jazzmoose Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 God, I can't believe I read this shit. I also can't believe people begging for Aric to come back. I'll save my begging for Deus, Hans, King Ubu (geez...I spent the last twenty minutes trying to figure out who this 'flurin' cat was!) and a few others who seem to be missing. I'm not saying I'm achingly delighted and overjoyed that Aric has been banned; no, I'll save those emotions for when Che gets banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
