Hey Mike Howeton...

Fair is fair Mike, Marissa hijacked enough threads that it was enough to want to post something she couldn't repsond to. She couldn't resist until you clamped down a couple weeks ago.

"Wanton Wonton"?? "Twinkie"??

She brings it on herself. DM only tells the truth and cogoles her to speak her knowledge concerning the thread she posts in which she only turns into her little diatribe about sex and porn and the lack of quality men in her world.

Yeah I know I risk getting banned from this site, but really!! She should go to a singles site for that ****!

Debra (straybullet)... weren't you just posting about starting a mud wrestling contest with Wendy?

and when I did so it was to stick a pin into the bloated hostile atmosphere (created by your comment to Barbara) so that us girls could get together, cut up, and have a good time. IIRC, it was also posted in the NPR forum, with the exception of when I brought it up in the HALHOULE thread on CCB Main forum - but that thread was just as stupid as this one - and they moved it to the NPR forum eventually. Also, the thread you brought up was intended to be stupid, not sexual in nature. It wasn't stupid by accident, it was stupid by design. Go back and read it and you will see what took it off course. It wasn't me that did that.

Marissa I have told you before that I have had a lot of trouble in the forums. That is not a secret.I can sit here and say that I have never contradicted myself and if I do or say something that warrants an apology, I will be right there, pride pushed aside and communicating with the utmost sincerity. I have told you before that all of this is just words on a screen. Don't take "it" or yourself too seriously. Try to get along with as many people as you possibly can, of course you'll butt heads with some people - but that's just part of life - learn to deal with it. You're not going to get along with everybody with the way you conduct yourself here. Neither am I. What separates you and I - is that I understand that. In time, you will too.

There are personal things about me, my life, my current situation that many people know about - AWAY from the forums. There has to be a line drawn that says on this side - everybody can know this stuff - but on this side - its none of their business. If you do not draw that line, you leave yourself open to have people judge facts about your personal life. When stuff about me does leak out - I don't respond to it. If people want the facts, they can get with me privately. It doesn't need to be aired out here.

There is a myth that I don't know anything about pool. That isn't true. I don't need to boost my ego and shout from the mountain tops about how well I play. I like for it to be a surprise. I'm not Jeannette Lee, but I shoot ok. I have more to learn which is why I read more than I post. Of course I post stupid things sometimes, but I know that - and 100% of the time it is not by accident - it is intentional. Chill out, relax, and if you're going to fight - have some fun with it like I do. Be creative. People will eventually see through the argument and see the humor. That usually wins them over.

I will now go back to my exile in the NPR forum

Oh, for gods sake that didn't take long.

I didn't think it would take long for someone to chime in and say that it was all about censorship. And of course, we get another long diatribe from DM telling me how he is right and I am wrong.

I have already stated that I read the post and thought it was something that was going to get ugly in a hurry. I deleted it before that happened. Because that is my job around here. I get paid to be DM's babysitter and go in and clean up messes everytime he decides that he needs to interject his opinion on a thread. It doesn't matter that the thread has nothing to do with him. He goes ahead and hijacks the thread anyways. And why not? Anytime anyone here posts anything, it is really just a request for DM to interject his opinion.

It is funny. I am up getting my kids ready to go to school while I am typing this and listening to them argue is remarkably similar to dealing with DM on this forum. They have all the answers and need to take shots at thier brother/sister every chance they get. But then again, they are 11 and 8 years old.

It was requested at one time that I post a formal set of rules for the forum. I havn't done so because I really don't think a group of adults should need a set of rules to tell them how to behave like adults. But, I guess I will have to remind them a little...

This is the azBILLIARDS forum. If DM wants to start his own site and call it ihatemarissa.com and set up a forum, that is great and I wish him luck. Maybe I will interject my opinions about pool into every one of his thread. The next thread I see with someone hijacking a thread to take a potshot at someone will be the last post that person makes.

To reiterate something that has been said over and over, check the DNS record for this site. You will see the owner is Mike Howerton. That is me. Since that is me, I can delete any thread I want and if someone thinks it is censorship and doesn't like it, They have one recourse. That is to not come here anymore. I have seen what threads like the one I deleted can do to a site. Go check out playpool.com. That used to be a great site, but the forums got so far out of control with petty name calling that the owner stopped doing anything with the site at all. I will not let that happen to this site. I delete threads that I think are going down that road and I will continue to do so. If that makes you unhappy and you think it is censorship, then I am sorry you feel that way. If you can't deal with this sort of thing, I suggest you click on the 'logout' button at the top of the screen and then remove the site from your bookmarks.

Yes it is your site, do as you please. But I for one do not think you are seeing this situation very clearly, and your site suffers as a result. It's too bad, there used to be good pool content here ... it is being replaced by threads like this one.

I personally think this would be a much better forum without the thread hijackers. Keep on topic or start your own thread.

My first post was bashed because someone couldn't understand my point of view so they started calling me stupid. So now I hardly ever post because I don't like getting into stupid little fights with grumpy old men.

I bet we would have a lot more participation and users without these kind of people. Some people think it's their board and they can screen out the posters they don't like via harrassment.

We planned to meet before I left for Vegas.

You have never hung up on me - you did tell me to call you back once because you were busy.

First of all, I told you that you wouldn't be able to NOT REPLY to me ever again. I GIVE YOU the recognition and attention that you so deeply crave. I really shouldn't. You need me and you know it.

I never talked to you on the phone until the first time you asked me to call you when you were stranded at the airport the morning you were waiting to catch another plane going to Vegas! We NEVER had a phone conversation prior.

I never hung up on you immediately after hearing your voice...but I told you right after I recognized who it was from your wimpering about something I posted that "you really caught me at a bad time" and THEN hung up. There were no other words stated after that. And then you called a couple of more times until I told you in a PM never to call again.

Marissa...I don't think this is sinking into your pea brain. I really don't care if I ever meet you, nor do I want to. Fact is, when I was at the Atlanta Open on Friday I heard by way of the grapevine that you were supposedly driving up from Columbus after work and you'd be up there in the early part of the evening. I SPECIFICALLY LEFT a little after 6:00 pm or 6:30 so I WOULDN'T have that happen just in case you took off from work early. That's not me just making it up right now on the spot...it can be easily verified.
Actually, I could have and should have stayed longer because you didn't come until the next day. But, who knew. Is this sinking in yet?

You make good points here mnShooter but it still comes down to your choice, ignore them or stand up for yourself. There are thousands of threads to review, and ten's of thousands of posts, so the choices are unlimited to what you and others read. We've all had our run ins with others in a forum, that problem will always be there, but it's your actions in the end that decide how far it goes. Sure, these days most of the threads started here in the forum are hijacked by the 4th or 5th post and then it's so far off topic by the 2nd page that the original topic is forgotten about, but again, it's your choice to continue reading the thread or not. I have almost 900 posts and I probably have about 500 of those that I'd like to get rid of because they're useless, as far as the original topic. Probably 200 of those 500 are replies to hijackers, with the rest being me, trying to be funny, in which for some reason very few understand my sense of humor. :confused: Maybe I'm not funny? Oh well, I laugh at myself all the time. :D Anyway, when I do sit down to post a serious reply, on topic, I do try to help out whenever I can. But on the other hand, when I get involved in a flame war, I stand up for myself until I feel as though it's going nowhere or it's just bad for the forum and it's members. I lay off, lick my wounds, and go on my merry way. We all have that choice, get involved, or back off. Whatever works for you is what you should do. If we all had the same opinions then why would any of us feel the need to visit this forum? If you're driving down the street and see someone going off at someone else, do you stop and listen in or keep on going? Someone asked me once while I was in prison, "What are you in for?" My reply was, "For minding my own business." I think he understood, at least I hope he did. Anyway, mnShooter, don't let others be the reason for you not posting, if you have something to share, SUBMIT REPLY. Peace, John.

I second that motion.

The best reason to forgive others is because it heals us. At least, that's what my stupid shink said.

With me I usually forgive and forget after receiving counsel from my attorney that it would be less costly to do so.

I say - let's let those who have private feuds keep them private, not public.

Hey Koop or Timberly:

How do you post pictures without having the little pathname appear above the picture?

I thought this would be a good time for a little tutorial. The cut and paste tutorials you guys put in the infamous “C” thread was invaluable.

Cheers
 
I come in peace! LOL
