An Open Letter to All Members

[Rich-n-Texas]

I remember this thread, wasn't that the day we were picking cactus needles out of yer bum? The censors were sure busy on that post.

I really miss Resident Loser. I had some good debates with him, some contentious, but always fun.

I've said the same thing many many times Sir T. There were some great contributions from him in that thread. May sound corny, but he was in many ways a mentor for me here on the forums.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Meh, you are tame compared to me. My delivery is as smooth as steel wool, everyone is just pleased after I post something.

I wish you would start being nice to pix...

Actually, I was thinking your delivery is received as well as 80 grit sandpaper on a fresh case of road rash. Of course it depends upon the recipient. More times than not, a hammer would have done nicely.

Hell no!!! I want to sandpaper him to dust. I probably should be nicer to nightliar though.

Hammer too easy, sandpaper......road rash......can't be good....must continue....maybe find virgin skin untouched by road rash....hammer=mess......no mess just pain.......need reprogramming.....

I'll tell ya, I didn't think this site's s/w was be able to handle so much text in one post! You must either have special posting priveleges or you've found a way to hack around the character limitation threshold. In some of those posts, my up-down scroll bar was so thin I could hardly grab it. Great reading nonetheless.

He may not have been always up to date with his knowledge about HT, but he was practical, logical, and very reasonable, and that is what I liked about him most.

And to think, as long as the post were, they only took me about 5 minutes to think it up, and type it. He called me names I have never even heard of.

[Rich-n-Texas]

T, I have a mind sometime to assemble a list of all your references to pix and post them in the Off Topic forum. Some of those are hands down the funniest names I've ever come across. And you know how I feel about "pixeless".

Funny stuff.

[JSE]

I dont' know why this is so, but I seem to have an innate ability to bring out the worst in some people. It's not something I consciously do, but it still somehow manages to happen.

Like others have mentioned, don't worry about it. Your stuff has been tame compared to past threads around here. I've been called just about every name there is at one point or another by various past and even some present members. Some of the name calling was probably justified. I have actually been really laid back the last couple of years.

As long as you don't lie, you will be fine. True Liars tend to get run pretty quickly around here. Having strong opinions just adds to the spice of these forums. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, just look at his post count.

He he he, ha ha ha, ho ho ho!

Funny eh?

I'm pretty sure my post count from the old system/format was set back to zero after a change over many years ago. If I could add that count to my current count, I would be ahead of you!

Besides, it's a quality over quantity thing or me. I don't just blab my mouth every chance I get like soooome people of this, cough, cough, gm, cough, cough board.

Hey! Knock that off. It's not my fault that you've been slacking lately. Maybe if we brought Lex back you'd have someone else to pick on.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Hey! Knock that off. It's not my fault that you've been stacking lately. Maybe if we brought Lex back you'd have someone else to pick on.

What does "stacking" mean (in this context)? Is he stacking pies or something?

OKAY JSE! No need to get your panties in a wad! (I love that expression )

OK OK, so you found another typo by me. What's that, 2 in the last 2 days?

Are you wadding up J's panties? That's just.... just... a little squishy.

Isn't if fun that we have the uncanny ability to drive even the most serious threads...

Right into the ground!!!

[pixelthis]

Emaidel, I have no idea what you're talking about... and I mean that as a compliment.

If there has been some nastyness between you and other members, then I have missed it. I enjoy your posts and always viewed you as a voice from the reasonable middle, so to say. Even if I didn't come to know your CV through your posts, your advice carries the mark of experience.

Stay around, stay vocal, stay polite, and there are no worries. Right?

I have a good idea of what hes talking about.
He referred to a banned member with Nazi tendencies, and compared ME to him, implying that I was a Nazi also.
This is one of the most offensive things that has ever happened to me and I am still waiting for my apology.
Nazis, past, present, (hopefully not the future) are the scum of the earth,
and I dont appreciate being compared to one

Dude,

You do realize that he was just comparing one troll to another, not their methods.

Oh, and sorry about calling you a troll. You've been very good lately and don't want to get you started. All in good fun you know.

[SlumpBuster]

Really? You do realize this is an internet forum, right?!? I don't think I could be offended by anything anyone ever said about me on an internet forum, let alone have it be one of the most offensive things ever. Go buy Call of Duty 2 and get it out of your system. FYI, this is how reasonable people, even forum participants, ultimately view forums:

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

Someone called pixelout a nazi.....Waaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha.........LOLOL. ..gulp.....waaaahahahahahahah..... whoever did it, rock on LOL

And you do this without a drivers license(drum hit) Got a million of em.....

Never did any such thing, and even said so, but you still persist in believing this. Oh well, not much I can do there.

I was talking to another member about a different troll on these pages, and that member came up with a name for that troll that had me falling down laughing: he called him a leaky sphincter. Somehow, seems pretty fitting for you too, don't you think?

Then, what also comes to mind is all the fuss when Olestra was being test marketed, and certain folks believed it caused a rather disgustingly described gastric upset called, "anal leakage." Even TIME magazine gave the term "anal leakage" accolades for being one of the worst new terms to be created for that same year. Personally, I can't think of a better description of your posts.

What else comes out of a leaky sphincter anyway?

Now that's some funny stuff.

Emaidel, I thought about your post at lunch today and came to a conclusion---you and I have very little in common. But, in a good way, if you will.

Being a bit younger than most 'round these parts I missed the "Golden Age" of audio. I'll never get to experience so many of the pieces considered "classic". Further, most of my contemporaries don't really listen to music...that rhythm and timbre and beat and pace may be occuring around them is a happy circumstance of having some equipment turned on, and quality is not an overiding concern.

I love your posts and if I don't always contribute to your threads it's because I don't have alot to offer...but I hope you stick around. And, a certain amount of disagreement is to be expected when dealing with something so opinion-based. I feel the rest of us would be none-the-better if your viewpoints were absent from these here pages.

Peace
