cannonball-addict Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Ok. i just spent maybe an hour completely reading this thread. I could care less about what happened five years ago between these two guys. I think the ariceffron posts were funny (in fact I have usually steered clear of reading anything he writes because I often read the board in places where I'm supposed to be quiet like the library) but that's all they were. And brownie, there are too many people contributing stuff of real worth here for you to quit the board to support a mentally insane person like Aric. I resent what you said a while back on this post along the lines of: "He really brought life to this board." It seems to me that he didn't intend to bring life to the board, he intended to bring death. Even if these threats were in jest, the guy was off his rocker and it was getting ugly. Imagine if someone on this board threatened you! I felt terrible when people accused me of not being a good listener when I wrote off Bobby Hutcherson. Imagine how I would have felt if a guy repeatedly threatened to kill me and my family with cancer!
cannonball-addict Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 NO LOCKING! How can you think yourself entitled to post but deny others the same, including people who may want to respond to the latest rounds, and others who will come along later? Rather than NO locking, I would argue for the very limited use of locking. I think Jim and his bro do a great job with this currently, only locking threads when absolutely necessary. Most moderators would delete threads like this, long before they got out of control. Jim lets us hash things out a bit (sometimes quite a bit), and then every once in a blue moon - he decides it's best to close down a thread. I think this is the best way to handle things, and is very healthy for the board, in the long run. (And not deleting the thread gives everyone an opportunity to see what went down, after the fact -- so if you miss stuff in real-time, you don't miss stuff.) You guys forget that Jim is not just this dude who runs a bboard. He is also a practicing musician trying to get better, get gigs, and get some of you freeloaders to buy his damn CD!!!
EKE BBB Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 OK Jim decided to ban Aric and, despite what we may think, he had the right to do so. Deus, brownie and Hans decided to leave the board (at least for a while). Please let´s show some respect for their decissions. And let´s shut up our mouths and get back to JAZZ Cheers, Agustín
cannonball-addict Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 People. People. People. Use your PM button more often. PM button = more discussion of JAZZ.
AllenLowe Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 well, none of this would have happened if the board had taken my suggestion and provided a "reply" button that allows us to edit each other's posts -
Ron S Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 well, none of this would have happened if the board had taken [all] my . . . posts [and deleted them] You mean sorta like that?
AllenLowe Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) or: "you mean...Allen Lowe is the greatest thing that ever happened to Che, finally allowing him to see the error of his ways" - Edited March 18, 2005 by AllenLowe
Ron S Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Allen Lowe is [grateful] to Che [for] finally allowing [Allen] to see the error of his ways Or even like THAT.
JSngry Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 "Chez Lowe is the greatest thing that ever happened to Allentown, finally allowing them to see the weight of their arrows". A 5 Star joint, then, I presume?
Joe G Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 or: "you see...allowing the error thing that ever happened to Lowe is ways, finally Allen to him mean the greatest of his Che" - I guess I just don't understand your point...
AllenLowe Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 this is finally starting to make sense to me -
makpjazz57 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Cannonball Addict - Love your avatar - that is one of my all time favorite Woody Herman Recordings - Woody's Winners. Just love the 60's Herd with Nistico, Pierce, etc. Marla
Ron S Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 That's a lowe blow. If we continue to discuss Mr. Lowe like this, we may Allenate a few more members.
JSngry Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 this sinsimilla is finally starting to make me... Make you what? Hungry? Paranoid? Hallucinate? SHAME on you - this is a FAMILY show!
Big Al Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 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! Totally agree. Would that we were NOT a society of folks who always need to have the last word and just can't let anything go!
RDK Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Why do I get the creepy feeling that if I left nobody would even notice? B-)
ghost of miles Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 or: "you see...allowing the error thing that ever happened to Lowe is ways, finally Allen to him mean the greatest of his Che" - I guess I just don't understand your point... He's channeling Joyce circa WORK IN PROGRESS.
Noj Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Yeah right. We'd send out search parties with blood hounds for both you guys! I'd have the dogs sniffing your BFTs for reference.

AfricaBrass Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) Why do I get the creepy feeling that if I left nobody would even notice? B-) I'd notice. New board rule: No more leaving of the board! Edited March 18, 2005 by AfricaBrass
Ron S Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 New board rule: No more leaving of the board! Or WHAT???
