I'm reeeeeeally not trying to get involved in any of this petty silliness at all, but I think any rational person looking at this objectively will agree that Uncle Kev wayyyyyyyy crossed the line with those PMs, assuming abra did not edit them as Kev claims (and I don't believe she did).
Kev: Dee is not fat. She is not dumb. She is not crazy. She is a great friend, a great mother (with awesome kids like Kick MaDick), and a great person. If you'd taken the time to know her instead of maliciously attacking her, you'd know that. Not cool, man, not cool at all.

Roger that, Kyle. I appreciate your perspective, and you coming to your friend's defense. I mean this sincerely. But there's really virtually nothing you might say that could change my opinion of her.
When you tell me all the things that she is not, I gotta tell you that one thing I most certainly am not is a "fellator". So, she waaaaaay crossed the line there, and that's literally where it all began. Also not cool, man. Not cool at all.
Anyway, Druid asked us to knock this off, and it was certainly my intention to do that. But since you (at least indirectly) asked for it, I wanted to give you my $0.02 worth.
In their defense Kev, the words that were posted were a little bit over the top. I still think there are things that were omitted from the offending post but it was pretty mean.
But I do have to say that one does not just say those comments without being provoked. I know I'm guilty of saying awful things when I need to.
I don't actually think there is anyone that I know that hasn't.
I still remain on the opinion that that big long posted conversation wasn't the whole story.

Thanks, Karen. You are right -- on all of the above.
I don't feel good about any of the things I said to Abra, and I surely made that clear to Druid in a PM to her.
On the other hand, I certainly don't exist to be Abra's personal source of amusement on a public message board. That's why, for my part, I've always tried to keep this a private dispute.
You, and anyone else still reading, should draw your own conclusion about Abra's and Dave's behavior here.

Kev, the fellacio joke was only a metaphor for what she saw as you constantly agreeing with Juggs. It's typical locker room humor. You could have just come back with a snappy reply. You're usually not at a loss for wit. No need to get worked up over it. Unless you were an actual fellator and wanted to keep it hidden.

Hey EAP....not sure if you saw this or it got buried behind all the other drama happenings going on but could you help me out and let me know what you meant by these. I'd appreciate it so I know what I did wrong and can avoid it in the future. I'm still a bit confused by it all but feel that this would help me. After that I'll gladly drop it all and give us a bit of "distance"
ITM, i do believe you are trying to make the best of this and i do accept your apology and i do not want to fight with you. i'm sorry for causing a fuss, but maybe we can both agree to distance ourselves for awhile.
Thank you. I appreciate it. But before we distance ourselves for a while I would still like you to please clarify the statements you made about me. Specifically how you feel I use my mod powers unfairly against you. Also specifically what I did or said to "make it clear " that "I don't care for the way you respond to things"?
I ask this to end my confusion and also to help avoid doing these things in the future. So please help me out

Agreed, Fuzz -- on the "snappy reply" part. But on the "keep it hidden" part.... notsomuch
"Not that there's anything wrong with that."
Also, I wasn't remotely interested in her commentary on how my thoughts may/may not relate to Juggs'. But I did choose not to have that battle with her publicly, inside the thread. Again, draw your own conclusions from why it's now become public.

i appreciate you trying to smooth things out. i've said i'm sorry and that i accept your apology. i've explained multiple times that i feel our disagreements come from our inability to read each other's intentions correctly. i'm not exactly sure what you want from me? to go back into multiple threads from months ago and dig stuff up? i really was trying to let it drop until unclekev brought up my job.

I understand and agree with that part about the disagreements. What I was hoping to find out is why you said that I let my personal tastes get in the way of moderating you when I haven't done any sort of "mod" stuff to your or any of your posts. The other thing I wanted to know is how I "made it clear" that "I don't like the way you respond to things"? I'm trying to know what I said or did to "make it clear" because I didn't feel like I did that and if I can find out what caused it I can try to be more careful in the future when talking with others. Those were two specific things that I didn't realize I had done and want to know what would make you think I was doing those things.
Really I'm trying to figure out the things you said I did and how to avoid it in the future. I'm not arguing or attacking. This is for my benefit.
Here is the original post if you wanted to read it directly from the page.
hahaha and right underneath that there's a quote of a 1karen1 where she was saying unclekev makes her "uncomfortable". awesome.
Nice little find there.
I like it. Sorry that I don't really remember that particular conversation all that well. Actually I really don't base my opinions on the people that I talk to. What I mean is that when I post here I do it solely for myself. I don't come on here to defend or offend anyone. I don't agree or disagree with anyone based on my prior interactions with them.
I will agree or disagree with someone based on what they say in a given conversation. I won't let what they say in previous topics taint how I feel about them in the next topic.
example. After rereading the topic from January where Kev made me uncomfortable because I was having a hard time finding the line where the joke ended and the argument began. Tonight I happen to agree with him in his opinions. I'm not going to carry something someone typed into a message board cloud my judgement for what he typed tonight.
That goes the same for everything.
Another few examples.
Jess... I like the man. I've met him in person. Had late night FB talks with him. Love him. Do I think some times he takes things a little to seriously. Sure. Do I have to always agree with him because I've developed a more personal relationship with him. NO.
Juggs....In this one thread(granted it was the single most amazing thread of all time) he came to my defense. He was genuine and he and I, as well as a few others, spent a lot of time for the good of Inforoo and Bonnaroo goers. Do I always agree with him. MOST CERTAINLY NOT.
EAP...I think you are a fine girl. I remember meeting you briefly at the brunch and you seemed just lovely. But does that mean I'll agree with everything you said just because I actually shook your hand? NO.
At the same time I would never expect anyone on here to agree with everything I say here or in person. That's a ridiculous pedestal. I know I don't want to be on it.
So there it is folks. I've been here since 06 and no one has broken me yet. It's a computer. It's debate. I'll spew my opinions as much as I can and I EXPECT you to do the same. When we see each other in June we WILL drink and eat and be merry.
I LOVE all of it. Good and bad. Jokes and fights. Bring it on. I hold it all close to my heart.
That's ok. Go ahead and call me misspelled names. I don't mind at all.
r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d
But, I will have to tell you, that I don't have MR. Which, actually isn't even a term that's recognized in the special needs care profession anymore. I'll have to ask my husband the term they use now.
After that I'll gladly drop it all and give us a bit of "distance"
i appreciate you trying to smooth things out. i've said i'm sorry and that i accept your apology. i'm not exactly sure what you want from me? i really was trying to let it drop until unclekev brought up my job.
TOTALLY my fault, EAP. Sorry
Except that I was never even talking about how you do your job. I was talking about your posting demeanor on an internet message board, and how it could be mistaken for that of a six-year old. Please try to wrap your head around this.
Just so you know, I have almost unwavering respect for public school teachers and the job they do for all of us parents, and our children. This respect includes you -- within the framework of your job.
It does not extend to your personal communication style on Inforoo. Deal with it, and stop deflecting.
Not a train wreck at all. Just a bunch of different people from all walks of life that need to share ONLY ONE thing in common. Bonnaroo. Everything else is fair game.
