The problem is that there is a distinct day shift/ night shift here and we night shifters have an opinion about things too and the need and right to express said thoughts regardless. And there in lies the problem of timing and whether or not something is really a closed matter or open. To us it is open. You had the opportunity to express your thoughts on it or perhaps you would feel differently. I'm not so sure that if you had stumbled upon it at midnight that you would have held your tongue. Perhaps but perhaps not. We will never know. Others apparently felt even stronger about the matter than even I did. For them I cannot speak. I opted to simply put him on ignore shortly thereafter
I understand that LLL. The matter had resolved itself and it did not involve you. If the initial comment angered you, then why did the apology not satisfy you? Especially when the person they were aimed at (EAP) was not even upset anymore? Was it worth opening it back up? It led to SFA and PHI making some truly viscous and inexcusable comments, especially SFA's comment about Kevs dad being proud. REALLY???? That was one of the worst comments I have seen on here, considering the timing and circumstances and that the spat did not involve him at all.
We've already hashed it all out this afternoon and explained why. Myself and others who felt like the apology wasn't really enough considering. And you have proven the point that I made about human beings in a community not being able to resist commenting after the scene has unfolded because it involved THEIR COMMUNITY THEIR FRIENDS etc. We have long put this to rest and you are now bringing it back up. Because this is what members of a social group do. You wanted to express your opinion just like I did.
And it does involve me and EVERYONE GODDAMN ELSE WHO IS INVOLVED IN INFOROO AND IS FRIENDS WITH EAP ABRA AND DAVE AND THE OTHERS WHO WERE INVOLVED WITH LAST INCIDENT. I explained that as well. If you go back a few pages you will see it all unfold. YOU felt the need to say something, you got to have your say, for what reason are we not afforded the same privilege around here.
Doing a shitty thing over and over and over but then apologizing does not buy you a pass man. Period.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Wow, is there some locking and censoring going on or what?
no, inforoo is just being extremely buggy right now. its not showing me random posts too. I'm having to use the "last 100 posts" button to view new posts.

At what point will I be able to see all of the comments again? They disappeared up to our conversation earlier about smudging, and are very slowly coming back one by one.

I have a feeling it's just more folks (mods/members alike) with their eyes open and noticing these types of quirks. Not sure, though. You might be right about it being tied to a particular thing!!

Ha, I guess we all have our ideas of what "the worst comments" on this board have been. Who is this judge of "inexcusable" comments and does an apology wash clean the slate each time? Just wondering.
As far as LLL commenting on something that's gone past, I don't think I've seen once instance of people not commenting just because the subject at hand didn't involve them.

Do I get a prize? I hope so.
Maybe if you people would have acted months ago, when he was sending BEYOND inexcusable PMs to another board member; I wouldn't have had so much pent up anger towards the piece of shit. Sorry, but I don't really feel that bad for calling it like I see it. Ban me. I don't give a fuck.

As Abra has stated, she thought she had sent me a PM about the messages. I never got it. We were not aware of the messages until the end of July. UncleKev was asked to cease all contact with Abra. We were in the process of determining what to do when the latest shitstorm occurred.

Who are the judges? The mods are. That is our job.
It was not the fact that it did not involve her. It was the fact that is was over AND apologized for AND it did not involve her. What was said in the pm's was also inexcusable and does carry consequence. As does directly telling somebody that their recently dead father father would be "proud" of them in a malicious way.
We as mods are in agreement here and action will be taken today.

Nobody said anything about banning. But believe it or not I have banned somebody at their request before. If you cannot see anything wrong with what you said, then good luck to you.

What kind of luck would that be? I'd rather not have Leprechaun in the Hood kind of luck.
And if you look at my posts, It was in the context of what he, himself, had said. Plus, he brought it upon himself by being such a summers breeze bag and known trouble maker around here. People will only put up with it for so long.
P.S. I can't wait to see what "action" is taken today. The turn around on this is quite funny. This dude fucks around with people for months and THIS is what gets you all worked up.

There is no reason at all that an internet community should get people this stressed or angry.
So maybe UncleKev is the old, surly, d*ck uncle that sits in the corner angrily sipping brown liquors and mumbling about how everyone is out to get him. Who cares? Families need that uncle. Without that uncle they end up picking at each other for not having that one thing they can unite and dislike together. Just leave it be and go on disliking Crazy UncleKev, but there does come a point where "venting" becomes "complaining."
But seriously, just let it go, all of you. If I can stop being a d*ck to Kiko, you guys can stop fighting with each other.

You have no idea the time we have put into this issue trying to come up with the best course of action. But I suppose that doesn't matter to you since it was not fast enough.
