JSngry Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 This is all really...weird. Why are people still posting to this thread? What is it that's being discussed here? Weird. I've been reading all this for the past couple of days and that's the only word that comes to mind. Weird. Welcome to Organissimo. Now get the fuck out. -_- Anita O'Day had Dan Hicks' babies, and we are them. Quote

I've been reading all this for the past couple of days and that's the only word that comes to mind. Weird. What's weird? We all like to talk to each other, we have senses of humor (well, that's debatable! ), and threads are allowed to go off topic here. Sometimes better conversations evolve out of tangential comments, sometimes not. It's not a dry, stiff, formal place here. Quote
bertrand Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 This thread is the pits. I don't give a crap about what goes on at other boards. We get along here fine, and you come in and stir up trouble. If there's not enough jazz here for you, no one is forcing you to stay. You must not have looked at any other threads. There's plenty enough for me here. Quote
Ron S Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Kind words, JSngry. Thank you. I think all folks really need to do is recognize that people are different. They are going to have different points of view. That's often an opportunity to learn something, IMO. So, you know, a little humility can't hurt. My experience here is that that's how most members operate. That, and humor is not off limits, which ... thank God! I really do sense a difference in the cultures of the two boards -- one is often quite serious, and it's not uncommon for members to offer their opinions with a super-sized portion of gravitas. The other more freewheeling and self-confident, I think. ... Just my view. Personally, I think papsrus is a punk ass bitch. Oh, wait . . . . . . sorry, I got mixed up. It's Sangrey who I think is a punk ass bitch. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 It's Sangrey who I think is a punk ass bitch. But he's our punk ass bitch. Quote
JSngry Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Just don't confuse me with a bitchass punk, because that is one thing I'll never be. Quote

Jazzmoose Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Now get the fuck out. -_- Hey, I just came here to read pollock's 'righteous indignation' post. Where is it?? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 and I got scolded. Lots of crap goin' down. Quote
Christiern Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 The way this thread has deteriorated saddens me. We can do better. Quote

Jams_Runt Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 I don't want to sound like too much of a kiss-ass, but I'm relatively new around these parts, mainly because even being a lurker at the other board ceased to be fun. I've posted here and there, but I've been taking my time, partially because I feel like I'm getting my sea legs around here, and partly because the archives are blowing my mind. A ton of stuff I would normally love discussed has already been covered and in such depth that I don't think I could add much to the conversation, only go to my jazz collection and listen to things I've loved for years with new ears. I'm sure I'll jump in more soon, but in the mean time... damn the discussion on AOTW on "The Blues And The Abstract Truth" alone is worth lurking around here. Hell, you guys have me wrestling with Scott Hamilton, a cat I wrote off ages ago. Thanks! Um... one liner... Here we go. (Stolen from cartoonist Eddie Campbell) She: Can Jackson Pollock's art be justified? He: He's a drip. Quote

Niko Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 thought i'd post this link for anyone seeking a less hostile alternative... looks pretty harmless at first sight, not many posters there at present so it's still easy to dominate discussions http://forums.jazz.com/ Quote

MG now lets all go there and be really hostile! (btw: why are these words all so closely related/taken from the same latin word - host, hostage, hostile?! is that all just shades of one thing, really, if you take someone hostage, be hostile or be a good host?)

randissimo Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Looks like Pollock has decided we're too hostile.. Quote
pollock Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 Looks like Pollock has decided we're too hostile.. No, not at all. Just getting a feel for the place. Quote
Free For All Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Looks like Pollock has decided we're too hostile.. No, not at all. Just getting a feel for the place. I think that's a great way to integrate into the community. Quote
