You too???? Good heavens...
Good heavens... i'm giggling.
Not funny at all. Apple polishers are the bane of this world. Proof??? If you were a beer bellied, hairy legged ole boy these gentlemen would not give you the time of day. Besides that they would eat the apples. Horrible lot they are.
I do too, but her bitching about it for years now is enough already. Either fix it, or hand the job over to someone who can do it. Yes, Christine does a very good job.
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... Yes, she does. But christine loves freedom, so it comes natural to her. Not so easy for Goldi. DING-DING!!
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... Hello and welcome!
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... Good one!
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... And just who are you to accuse me of bring a gentleman?? ;)

"Satan / Cheney in "08"
:P p.s. i'm reading a little bit of the excerpt as time permits
Do you recall Ernie Kovacs and Edi Adams????
Ha... Some of these same gentlemen told Goldi to stop whining, hitch up her depends and get along with it.
Do you recall Ernie Kovacs and Edi Adams???? Kinda, but not much. O wait maybe Edi, yes Edi......
"Satan / Cheney in "08"
Everyone remembers Edi... Men that is.
Oh, thank you!! I figured it would make people smile. I felt like going in that direction.....
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... I now have the visual of her in that picture, giving the finger, but wearing Depends.
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... If you don't know, PLEASE, research, and learn the difference. Please. Bump!

BTW - doesn't Christine do a great job! I challenge each of you to fight for each other's freedom and not insult fellow citizens. Before Neil left LP to Goldi, it was a great forum. After he left, she allowed back in the very worst trolls and paid shills. Goldi's moderating is very biased; for example, she never did explain why she banned aristeides (because she didn't have a good reason). Yes, Christine does a super job of keeping this 4um a place of free speech, tolerating the venting of a variety of extreme views.

Running a forum is a tough job, and the more diverse the views you want to have on your forum, the harder it is. You get more fights, mud slinging, and complaints, and when your resolve the complaints, invariable up to 50% of the parties involved are pissed at your decision, and that's if you do it right. The more views you restrict from the forum, the easier it is. It's up to each owner to decide what they want/how much crap they want to put up with.

It's the emotional factor. It plays a big role in her moderation. I'm sorry she's lost her job. Certainly a bummer and something that's making her talk about closing down. But it wouldn't be a bad bet that that she has no intention of shutting down LP. Didn't see it posted on this thread but apparently someone complained to LP's ISP about release of personal info. I'm sure that's irritated her some. Something about radio call signs and a federal index site allowing people to cross refererence them to home addrs. (Seems the complainer needs to get off his federal radio roster). Yes, 4um is a nice place to be!

One might have to question the I.Q. of anyone that put up with the brazen hostility towards free speech demonstrated at all of the aforementioned forums excepting 4UM. It's tempting to obstruct speech one finds offensive by imposing bans or threatening them ... it's worse to accept them.

Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map Quest, you will get a map to the person's house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book. If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming. Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the map quest and directions straight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. Quite scary. Please look up your own number. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: google (http://www.google.com/) Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to B L O C K Google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours. Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone who needs to know this.

Thanks! Several years ago there was too much info available online from certain states about birth records. A complaint was filed and CA pulled back info. Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today!
This is good information. Thanks.

I had done that before. Want something REALLY scary? On that map, click the satellite image. When I did that it pulled up an image in good enough detail to be able to see the stock tanks in our pastures! And I don't know if it's possible to "block" this out. You can scroll the satellite image and see all of your neighbors etc, and keep "following it down the road" to check out everything you want for as long as you've got time to keep looking...

I know what you mean. I was banned from my local newspaper forum for, IMHO - being damned good at presenting my point. I was banned from http://freerepublic.com for, IMHO - being damned good at presenting my point. I’ve only become more talented at doing what they hate and I notice I’m not along in this. My goal is to deal as much misery as possible to sites that ban citizens for merely possessing a view contrary to the official "new speak".
"I am further of opinion that it would be better for us to have [no laws] at all than to have them in so prodigious numbers as we have." A somewhat subtle part of the communications process is that - as long as someone is complaining about something, they have hope of things improving. It's when they fall silent that you know someone has given up hope. From what I've seen about these discussion boards is that we all tend to use them as a teething ring that does satisfy, to some degree, our need to struggle against our social problems.
"I am further of opinion that it would be better for us to have [no laws] at all than to have them in so prodigious numbers as we have." The more views you restrict from the forum, the easier it is. It's up to each owner to decide what they want/how much crap they want to put up with. I've been on discussion boards for over a decade now and in that time I have never had to report anyone for abuse - not once. In fact, I get a uncanny sense of pleasure out of having to deal with anyone who wishes to attempt to insult me. I have had to bozo a few people, but it's because they seem to spout out only nonsense. The thing that really steams me is when I can't find a worthy opponent to debate!
"I am further of opinion that it would be better for us to have [no laws] at all than to have them in so prodigious numbers as we have." That's why I make it a habit to go out back and extend my middle finger to the sky on sunny days...
If you want a 'throw-away' phone number that doesn't cost a dime, just out this service http://www.privatephone.com/ . You get your own local(in most cases) phone number that rings into your own voicemail box. You can even establish a number not in your area code, say you wanted to appear to be from Houston versus Toledo. You can call into to retrieve you messages and/or you can be alerted and have the messages sent to your email. (need soundcard to hear messages from email) Don't know how they are doing this for free although to do sell extended features like call forwarded, etc.
Cyni, Thought that was Ernie Kovacks, in percy tag line, but on my computer picture is blurry. Ernie was great, very sad he died to young. Ernie died right before Edi Adams began filming Its a Mad,Mad World.
I keep begging christine to "harm" me bodily but so far, no luck...

In bygone days, it took a court order, several forms and several weeks to get this info. And that was assuming you knew where to start looking. Now you just type someone's name into a search engine hooked to the right databases.

Then I discovered that when it comes to certain topics, only one point of view is allowed.
