ghost of miles Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 I don't get this whole thing with che. Has he broken any of the rules? No. Then why exactly should I get rid of him? Because he says stuff that people don't like? Doesn't that go against the concept of free speech? Free speech is okay as long as everyone agrees? THANK YOU. WTF, people??? I got into it with Che the first weekend he showed up. Maybe he needs to work on his Internet manners, or how he behaves initially on a board that's as tight and long-running (counting the old BNBB) as this one is... man, I know I'm risking honking off a lot of longtime friends and friendly acquaintances, but I just don't get the mob mentality that's taken off here.

Same here. I got into it with him during his first few days here. I sent him a PM. My recommendation is if you have a problem with him, discuss it with him between yourselves. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up being friends in the end after you've gotten over your differences. This place is great because we are friends here. IMO Edited March 18, 2005 by AfricaBrass
BERIGAN Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 If you have trouble locking the thread, this stuff works on everything!
Ron S Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 This place is great because we are friends here. IMO You suck.
AfricaBrass Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 This place is great because we are friends here. IMO You suck. LOL IM A BIG CRYBABY WAAAH, the goodbye aric thread! This looks like the work of the Fist!
BERIGAN Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 This place is great because we are friends here. IMO You suck. Yeah, well your guitar sucks...in fact, I used one just like it to make a fire!
catesta Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Why? Just a hunch more than anything, Jim. I know I'm not alone in this opinion. Some really bizarre shit has taken place since che joined, not to mention a whole crew of bullshit posters. Look, If I'm wrong, I will be the first to apologize, but I think in the end you'll see I was right.

ghost of miles Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Worst thread ever. Or most depressing. Man.

7/4 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Kidding!!!! :rsmile: Who's that in your avatar????
RDK Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 I'm with Jim and GOM. I find Che very annoying, but I'm not exactly sure what he did - I skipped the Atzmon (?) thread because I don't know who the fuck Atzmon is/was. And that seems to be the nexus for much of the Che hate. But heck, if I banned everyone who I thought was annoying, this would be a pretty empty board. At this point, Che seems to have settled down some except he's constantly put on the defensive by bashers and, eager to have the last word/smilie, he keeps responding with some stupid and/or defensive shit which just perpetuates the ire.

Look, If I'm wrong, I will be the first to apologize, but I think in the end you'll see I was right. I don't think Che has anything to do with the bullshit posters. I'd say the bad vibes around here have more to do with that. It began before he arrived. I say let's move forward. Seriously, send him a PM and talk to the guy. That's what we need to do with each other if we have a problem. Seriously, how can we expect the world to ever get better if we can't even get along on a freakin' jazz bulletin board. I love the fact that we have people on different sides of the globe who are friends here because of our shared love of jazz. This is a hundred times better than divisive politics IMO that are prevelant today.
Guest che Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 So I am to be banned on the basis of a hunch I guess 'commies' are not that cool afterall Che.
Guest Chaney Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Why? Because if someone pisses off a friend of mine, I take it personally. And if someone I like is upset, I take his or her emotional state seriously. I don't simply blow it off and suggest that they either get over it or try to be more unemotional. It's the making light of how others feel that drives me nuts. And I believe that's what deus was trying to get across to some of you folks. Not everyone can be as even-tempered and mellow as you apparently are. Some are more emotional, or, maybe to be fair, less in control of their emotions.
RDK Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Some really bizarre shit has taken place since che joined, not to mention a whole crew of bullshit posters. You sure it's not that "Mercury in retrograde" bull?
Jazz Kat Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 This is sad that the board has come to this. Please let us move on. If people are looking at us fight like this, I guess the joke's on us. Who will want to join? I haven't seen anything bad with Che.
catesta Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 So I am to be banned on the basis of a hunch I guess 'commies' are not that cool afterall Che. Oh make no mistake about it, I know why I don't like you.

Not everyone can be as even-tempered and mellow as you apparently are. Some are more emotional, or, maybe to be fair, less in control of their emotions. Is it better to just leave a situation with hurt feelings, or is it better to work on fixing the situation. I'm not making light of anyone's hurt feelings, but it does nobody any good to be angry. I think if you have a problem with someone, or if they crossed the line with you, you should call them on it. Seriously, this is how wars start. Maybe someone makes hurtful statements out of ignorance. Is it better to just let them stay ignorant, while you hate them. I don't think so. I think the best thing is to show the person that has offended you what they did and why you were offended. I'm telling you, I respect everyone's feelings. I just believe it is best to try to heal the situation than stay angry.

But somehow it's OK to call someone a fucking idiot, tell him to fuck off, compare him to all kinds of shit, and that's nothing to condemn or worry about? You don't think he might have feelings too? He's not a fucking Wankyjazz troll! Seems to me like this whole discussion is about treating one another with dignity, humanity, and respect. I see very precious fucking little of it... Why don't y'all try a little constructive criticism instead of all the shit-throwing that's going on?
