seeline Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 I'd like to add my own thanks to everyone for keeping the door open here. it's much appreciated! Quote
Christiern Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 I'm sure that I also speak for my fellow O'ers when I say that we are glad to have you with us. Quote
catesta Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 I am finding the Big O to be kind of like a neighborhood bar where AAJ and Blindman Blues folks come hang out from time to time. To all the regulars thanks for having us. Not for nothin', but we expect you to buy a round or two. Quote
EulaM Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) I am finding the Big O to be kind of like a neighborhood bar where AAJ and Blindman Blues folks come hang out from time to time. To all the regulars thanks for having us. Not for nothin', but we expect you to buy a round or two. Wonder if Bluenote (that's the fellows ID isn't it, the latest one to cause a stink?), will show up over here, as I hear he's been given a "Time Out"? I think that some people thrive on contention and belittling others, and that goes on all around the place, nothing new, but it seems to be a bit more insidious this time around, with more members taking sides and piling on, which is a turn off in itself. Maybe the way it's going isn't as pointed, nor as enveloping as it could be, however it seems to me it's heading into what could turn into a more hateful situation, the kind that make for hard feelings which hang on, lasting ones, the good ones becoming irretrievable. It's already happened with a lot of long standing valued members. Pity. Edited February 16, 2008 by EulaM Quote

GA Russell Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Marc Meyers was the guiding light - in so many ways, the board at its best was a reflection of what he did, and what he and Mike R. chose to build there. After I had written a few reviews for AAJ, Marc PM'd me a very nice note telling me that he appreciated my work and the effort I was putting into it. I really appreciated his pat on the back. Quote
GA Russell Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Now if I can only get a legend map for user names between the two... I'd like one too! Quote
GA Russell Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 But I do find that (and many other recent remarks) to be appallingly rude and (I kind of hate to use this word; it's so loaded) disrespectful of people who've been supportive of the board and site. There's some of that here too. Probably everywhere. That's why I appreciate this board's ignore function. Funny thing, but I've noticed that nearly all of the people here who are rude never comment on the jazz threads. I don't feel like I am missing anything by ignoring them, unless you consider a life of peace to be missing out on tension! Quote
Joe Christmas Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 I was just tipped to this thread and wanted to say thanks for the welcome. More importantly, Lon, I'm very sorry to read what I have read here. I hope all is well on your end. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks Joe, all's as well as it can be. Quote
kinuta Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Chris, thanks for the welcome back message, it's appreciated. Lon, I'm also very sorry indeed to hear your news. Dave Quote

7/4 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I believe bluenote82 has arrived here. He once called me a cry baby (which I am not) on a thread at AAJ, so we'll see what happens. thems fighin' words. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 May I take this time to remind our users of the wonderful "ignore" feature! Quote
Noj Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Good advice, Jim. Although I'd suggest just banning the troll before it gets started. Quote
7/4 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 May I take this time to remind our users of the wonderful "ignore" feature! As per your suggestion, I've been using it for a couple of days. It doesn't quite do the trick, but I'll give it a bit more time. Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 well, I'm using the ignore fuction, problem is, I have everybody on it so my screen's a big blank - so I'll use this opportunity to say I feel like that guy from the old Twilight Zone episode who's the only survivor of WW III. Awfully quiet in here - guess I'll just have to read a book - kinda nice not having to argue with anybody - Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 night also be a good time to take my meds and see if I can do anything about this multiple personality I seem to have - gotta keep the evil Al, the bar-brawling, serial-killing, tire-slashing, night-stalker at bay - I feel so all alone........................................................................... Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 where'd everybody go? allright, the only one who's not on my ignore list is CHEWY Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Jim - was that you? Larry? Chuck? Chris? My settings are stuck on IGNORE - I'm so lonely......... Quote
Aggie87 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I'm so lonely......... I'm so ronery.....so ronery and sadry arone.... Quote
