Yes, I hosted the unmoderated "quaidbowl" site. No, I'm not the "grand dragon" of the KKK. Some of the hate mail is pretty fuckin' amazing...I haven't had a chance to read it all, so I'm not sure what all the charges are...

I'll hold a press conference here later tonight or tomorrow.

Well, good luck finding moderators who want to consider what goes on outside the Org on top of the gazillions of posts they're expected to read here.

The Org isn't a religious or professional order. If a racist comes to the Org, the only thing that can be expected is that he/she not make racist comments here. The same goes for comments about other Orgers. Matt and Handclaps can't go around checking if people behaved according to the Org's rules outside the Org. Maybe there are some very serious instances where they'd ban someone for extra-Org activities, but complaining about an Orger or the Org somewhere else, secretly or publicly, shouldn't be one of them. If someone truly gets the whole Org offended, he/she will not fare well and will probably end up leaving or being banned. If he/she turns out to be on his/her best behavior, then those of you who still can't forget and forgive can ignore his/her threads.

I think that's pretty reasonable... and far less complicated than getting into the business of considering what goes on outside this site.

Things go wrong when its so easy to link between the two sites. It sorta changes the meaning of "here" and "there." It's a blur.


lol Does it change the meaning of the posts, being able to click between 'here' and 'there'? Or is it just because suddenly you're out of the fishbowl?

Why should we even listen to this prick? He's proven to be duplicitous. We've seen what he thinks of this site and its members.

Others too. Ian thinks we're all "gay." Let's not forget that. wink

C's account is gone from reacting to this horrible shit? And yet he remains. Just because it happened offsite?

Bring C back. Let's start over.

(I know you didn't deactivate him Hands, I'm just saying...)


for a start pricks are useful, so lets not get carried away and why is the dude gettin so much bad press

Maybe so, but it's possible to link between any sites. It's way too ambitious to start considering how people behave elsewhere. And as I said, if people are truly offended, there will be consequences here and events will take their course toward a departure, a banishment, a change of attitude with puppy dog eyes or not, etc., etc.

C said

YOU TALK ALL THAT SHIT. POST ALL OF YOUR INFO AND SAY I HAVE SHIT FOR BRAINS . YOU MIGHT WANT TO DUNK YOUR HEAD IN THE TOILET BOWL AND CLEAN IT OUT. shithead edit ... You need to go to the library and find a book on 'How to increase your testicular fortitude'. In other words get some bigger nuts and let em hang next time your feel manly. --CtheUncanny



First of all, why you are posting private correspondences from org members is beyond me. But since you did, let's see what we have here. If what I see is accurate, it looks like C is accusing you of saying that he has "shit for brains." Is this true or not? It seems that way to me. If not, your posting this has only further clouded the issue.

No, I haven't posted any private correspondence, and as a general rule, I would not do so. Those were flames posted by C (and not directed at me) on this thread:

http://www.prince.org/msg/100/79127

My apologies if that wasn't clear.

You have got to be fucking kidding Matt!

That is the post and thread he got deativated on? That is UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!!

He was responding to a racist already banned orger who was involved in the most horrible things being said, including directly against TheC. His post was hardly a flame at all. I cant believe that C held his tongue that well (or his fingers).

[Flame deleted. --Matt] Bring TheC back and sort this out. You are intelligent enough surely to reconsider your actions.

It is a pickle.

But when you are "here," and you insult or facilitate others' insults of people you know over "there," and then you go over "there," and you get hostility from people who heard that you were "here" when others posted stuff about those people "there," it tends to get blurry.

I pass no judgment on any quaidbowlers (yourself included) tho I have choice opinions about a few of them (yourself excluded), but as I see it, y'all caused the situation to be ripe for confusion.

That's a fair argument, Aero, but my point is, no one on that site should feign surprise at the indignation or unfavorable opinions of a lot of orgers.

It's not like the Org is censored, it simply asks people to express whatever opinions they want to within certain parameters of bottom-line decency.

In any event, many of the quaidbowlers weren't banned for indecent activity. They simply didn't like the fact that a lot of orgers didn't AGREE with them.

I don't think anyone is surprised. This post was to argue that it's pointless to try to ban someone for what they say elsewhere. The moderator's decisions must be based on what happens here -- the alternative is too complicated and besides, if it's so bad there will be reasons to end it one way or another through the natural theory of Org selection.

I'm not sure I care a great deal about why Quaidbowl was created - I was curious, but seriously... it's not like I was looking forward to more Chemmie threads or was dying to side with the Banned and the Departed for some bitter reminescing.
