wow, gemini, that's a whole lot of pent-up anger there.

after three months on the org, i could barely remember my password, let alone understand and judge the intricacies of other orgers' positions... are you surprised people don't believe you're a newbie?

I'm wondering why you keep saying that I have anger pent-up? I thought I was being pretty calm. Maybe just outspoken? That doesn't indicate anger. I very observant. That's it.

C might not be but Koolaid said they were... :

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

no... C has been deactivated from the org... he is using KoolAid's account to get his final word in on the situation...

EllisDee said:

I'm got it

IAmTheTouch said:

this is none of my business...but where
exactly is the anger in her post?

garganta said:

after you guys pointed out that you don't see any anger in her post, i re-read it thinking that i misunderstood, and i still see it that way.

keep in mind, i am not suggesting in any way that she is not entitled to her opinion in this matter, i'm just surprised to see this kind of vigor in somebody who hasn't been here that long.

No you cant go.

IAmTheTouch said:

yeah, it does seem a bit ironic that someone who hasn't been here very long has already been able to form a complete psychological analysis on the major personalities of the org... ...

Exactly.

She got us all worked out this one.

EllisDee said:

All I can say is...some people are not all that complex. And I've been told that I'm pretty damn keen. I've been reading the boards for a month and a half or so.

I'm sorry you feel the need to leave, but for you to blame it on me and my opinion is, well...sorta chickensh*t. Also, it seems as if you believe you were deactivated for no apparent reason. This is incorrect thinking. You surely must have flipped your lid more times than was comfortable for the moderators. Sometimes, it's not what you say, but how you say it. Rude is rude. Insulting is insulting. I disagreed with you yesterday, and you ordered me to take it elsewhere, as if you were somehow the judge of who gets to post on this site. This is your underlying problem. I get the feeling you feel threatened by people who may stand up to you. I understand that you may have been here for a long time, but that doesn't appoint you any status to judge whether I should be here or not. It sounds so cliche, but seriously, if you don't like me or my opinion, IGNORE IT. And if you cannot take someone's apology, that's your choice. You choose how to react. Other people are not responsible for your feelings. You are.
It's ok to discuss things, and for the most part, I am perfectly willing to discuss things in a rational manner. I lose my temper too, but I always try to make sure I apologize straight out, even if I don't wish to. That's how mature people interact. I'm not perfect, but I try.
I am NOT a recycled orger. I am relatively new. I began posting somewhere in December, I believe. This was one of the best sites I've encountered, and I absolutely love Prince. At first, I was encouraged by the thought of people out there who loved his music as much as I do. Then I noticed something awful. Racism, racism, racism. That's all some people here talk about. It permeates their every thought, and they just cannot let it go. It's not so much that I disagree with the fight for freedom from discrimination. It's the fact that some get downright nasty about it. This is unnecessary, and sort of "dumbs down" your cause. I lost respect for you and your friends and the "pack mentality" tactics that you would all use. You harrassed others. I saw it. It's the truth, and from what I see, I'm not the only one who feels this way. All the rest of the speculation in your head is pure coincidence. Nothing else. Kinda says something about your mentality, no offense intended. Paranoia is a silent decay of the mind. You talk about tolerance, and how much you desire it, but you're not willing to be tolerant yourself. If someone called you the "n" word, I would be one of the FIRST to defend you. But at the same time, I must be fair, and make sure that it's a two way street here. If I see something that I consider unfair, I WILL respond to it. That's the way I've always been, and unfortunately, many people are uncomfortable with the truth about themselves. So I end up being the bad girl. This isn't the first time, and it definitely won't be the last. I wouldn't change it for anything. I would respect you more if you chose to have the same attitude, and stayed. I guess it would be easier for you to blame it on me, gain the sympathy, and manipulate the orgers into disliking me. I don't care either way, really, but I would hope that you're not that type.
To me, rd was a whiner. I didn't single him out because of his skin color. I had no idea whether he was black or red or orange. I just didn't like how he presented his passionate responses(that's a nice way of describing them). I actually thought that he was female at first. I am not a racist. IF I argue against your hatred for others, whom you may believe to be racist, I must be a racist in your eyes? That also is faulty thinking. That argument is hypocritical and illogical. It's a passionate response, and there are times when I don't deal well with other peoples' dramatics. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said something that I believe in with all of my being. Everyone should be judged not by the color of their skin, but the content of their character. PERIOD. That is probably THE most true statement ever uttered. On this same token, and here we go, you're NOT going to like this...If you are black, and you are offended by ignorance, you DO NOT have the right to be just as offensive. You don't get to use that to your advantage. If you are wrong, you are wrong. And that's it. If it were up to me, everyone on BOTH SIDES of the equation would be apologizing to each other, airing out their differences with respect, and leaving it be for a change. But some here just can't do that for their own reasons. It's such a shame too.
One last thing. I'm afraid you've lost your perspective on what's really important. This is just an Internet BB. It's not the end of the world if anyone leaves this place, is it? You place too much importance on the idea of the "high school popularity contest". You shouldn't care so much if people like you or not, as long as you know that you're doing the right thing. I could go on and on about this, but for the love of everything holy, don't feel that you have to leave because of me. That's ridiculous. Your friends will be back, under different names, just as you did. I won't be posting very much here, as I somehow have the phenomenal power to control the actions and thoughts of others. Lesser mortals should bow to the awesome destruction that I allow to occur. LOL Please, I'm just lil' ole' me.

This ain't a witch hunt happenin over here is it. You are sincere right? Try to appreciate what you have now or I suggest keep the personal stuff to orgnotes. If you start a thread and you expect to be respected than do the same to others.

While being deactivated from the org :LOL: i have been watching(and participating :LOL: ) in what has been going down. And before anyone thinks otherwise Koolaid is not my account, but one that was handed down to me at an opportune time. I watched the same ole shit go down and i realize it will never stop on here. I have had fun but i realize most of the people who made it fun for me aregone. Nu, Bad,
Azurestar and Sweetea left. I saw them ban Rd, MD7 and Elephantitisofthenuts and even Aaron(good sparring partner). I rarely see EllisDee and Supernova(i miss you).I am starting to see that my ideas seem to conflict
with the way this place seems to be headed. After being banned by Matt and then seeing him on the site really made me question his intergrity? Instead of Matt banning the orgers who had issues with Site A(quaidbowl) you should have had Dansa do the moderating for awhile as Matts connection to that site was something i think a few orgers had to and should have been allowed to work through. I also saw the quaidbowl orgers come over here and give their apology speeches . Talking about how sorry they were if they hurt anyones feelings. Yet they were laughing over there about the stuff they are apologizing for here. The shocker to most of yall is that these people have had a kind of "kindred" for a good while now. These people weren't chosen to go to that site by "chance. They had
to have a certain quality that worked well with the theme of that site. Safe to say i would have never been invited, nor would i have ever went. Kinda sad that we could not get both sides at that time to discuss. Then it hit me maybe they don't want the other side to discus. If you(quaidbowl) are sincere. Then in time the efforts from your change will bear fruit. I will not be
around to see these changes for i have seen this behaviour for awhile and doubt if there is sincerity in "action" not your words. I don't believe you, but who knows? I am not God and only time will prove wether i am right or wrong.
I don't have the energy nor the time to wait and find out. It was at this point i decided that i have had enough. People like gemini13(who are you really) a recycled orger no doubt are allowed to say people made racist statements without ever being called to task. True troll if there ever was one(i'll be gone so you will have to find another idol) :LOL: . If you say i said racist statements in the past, please point them out. One thing about me is i don't hide behind words or computer screens. I use them to express myself clearly to another person. If there is confusion, i will clarify. And i try to treat people like i would want to be treated. The fact that you popped in after
quaidbowl gives me an idea who you are or at least where you come from. And that fact that i was banned by Matt for saying "shut the fuck up" for saying n*** in a thread awhile back(props to cborg for steppin to the plate and clearing things up) . And for giving an even reply to an already banned orger tells me that i am probably not wanted in here. So yes i have been banned a few times, but i think you will agree they were bullshit deactivations. So i figure before the new org comes in(site B), i will step out with the old. There are alot of wonderful people here and if i started naming names i am sure to forget someone who really made this site enjoyable for so long. So to you all i say thank you,it's been fun. And if nothin else to yourself be true.

Co - Newbie? Unlikely. If this girl, woman, whatever had enough time to form opinions about ppl's personalities, she's been reading the forums 24/7 for those 6 weeks. Riiight.

Sorry you feel that way. Could be a result of the one-track mind disease that plagues this site. Hmmm? Ever considered that I just might be intelligent? Probably not. Oh well...Can't please everyone.
