Dr. Rat Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 (edited) Hey, look! My new Invisible Man avatar is more invisible than yours! Well that just crosses a line for me! I'm offended by that level of invisibility! --eric As a cat, I'm offended with your rat! Man talk about blaming the victim! I gotta live in constant fear around this place! --eric Edited April 15, 2004 by Dr. Rat Quote

JSngry Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 The only time I actively seek validation is when I play a gig at a hotel and the parking's not free. Now, PLEASE check out the Frank Hewitt CD I raved about HERE. Quote
Noj Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 On another board, my Invisible Man avatar is considered offensive by one member! Offensive to whom exactly? Why? How? Ron Thorne. He was probably kidding, but if I recall he said it was scary and asked me to take it down. I thought it was such a bizarre request that I played along. Quote
RainyDay Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 I think it's unfortunate that folks on one board trash another. And I've seen it happen on all three that I have had any involvement with. It feels so high school. Folks here trashed AAJ when Mike became annoyed with "O" folks going to AAJ only when this site crashed. Folks at JC think theirs are the most sophisticated in musical tastes. I see all of that talk as just trash talk and something that belongs on a sports website. As for politics at this site, I would say the opinions are not only informed, discussions are actually civilized, for the most part. When some knuckledragger (and I don't know who that would be here, thankfully) starts calling any one of the half dozen or so women who post here the "c" word or the "b" word, I'm outta here. I won't make any dramatic exit speeches either, I'll just be gone. As I've said elsewhere, the internet is not a place where I go to act out my alter ego. This is real life to me and what I don't stand for in real life, I don't stand for on the internet. Bottom line, I'm here because I'm a jazz fan. And because the world is going to hell in a hand basket, I feel the need to talk about that too. Ciao, baby. Quote
Noj Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 I in no way "trashed" Ron Thorne, a poster I really like and respect. Quote

I may be low class , but my mom taught me to respect women. Quote

RainyDay Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 For that matter, all racial, ethnic, gender slurs are just ignorant and not acceptable to me. Who needs that crap? Quote
Noj Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 Sorry Rainy. I thought the first part was directed my way. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 I come back here again and again because ... ...it's much better than "Cats". Quote
catesta Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 I come back here again and again because ... .... it's where all the other junk food eating, six hour a day on the board spending, beer drinking, Bronx cheering, porn surfing, fat white dudes like to hang. Let me know if I have worn that joke out. Quote
neveronfriday Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 Amazing. 5 pages of this stuff. I wonder if there wasn't some truth to the original post ...? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 I wonder if there wasn't some truth to the original post ...? Just enough to get us yappin' like a pack of mad dogs... In all honesty, I can look at several parts of the board and see where some of it came from. But unless the political forum changed dramatically since I left it, I don't get the bit about Kerry at all... Quote
catesta Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 But unless the political forum changed dramatically since I left it, I don't get the bit about Kerry at all... You don't even know.... It's now Weizen, Berigan, and Chris Albertson against Johnny and me. Quote
catesta Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 (edited) Oh, and on the weekends, Conn500 is paired up with Ghost, they will be taking on Dr. Rat and Sahara Blue Orchestra in a tag team match on pay-per view. Edited April 15, 2004 by catesta Quote

catesta Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 Moose, take a tip from the tipster, keep your snacks on top of or close to your keyboard, it will help cushion the blow. I fell asleep yesterday going into hour number seven, (must have been all the beer) lucky for me a bag of cushioned the blow when my face hit the keyboard. Keepin' it real! B) Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 Is it just me, or could anyone else go for a beer and some Nachos right about now? Don't you have some lawns to mow, Chris? Quote
chris olivarez Posted April 16, 2004 Report Posted April 16, 2004 One of life's constants is somebody out there isn't going to like you no matter what you do so I wouldn't worry about it too much. While Blue Note gets a lot of mentions it isnt the only catfish in this sea musically speaking and if I'm not into the political discussions which lately has been most of the time I just shine it on.I enjoy the diverse ideas on this board and if the board has some critics well then it has some critics and who the hell doesn't anyway. In a nutshell don't worry about it. Quote

chris olivarez Posted April 16, 2004 Report Posted April 16, 2004 I dunno Doc both those boys are fond of bringing steel chairs to the match you better watch out!!! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted April 16, 2004 Report Posted April 16, 2004 I dunno Doc both those boys are fond of bringing steel chairs to the match you better watch out!!! Not only that but ole Conn500 here has the diplomatic skills to lure Sahara Blue over to our side to make it a 3 on 1! What the heck! In the end, we'll all be pals and they'll be no fightin' whatsoever. And Eric owes me a visit when Organissimo plays next at the Bird of Paradise in Ann Arbor. Quote
