View Full Version : I Am Ethan From 7 Wonders.... And The Ledge is my New Temporary Home

Hey guys. Many of you all may know me from 7 Wonders, a community where I was very avid (almost 2000 posts). But for some reason my account hasn't been working, and I have e-mailed administration 3 times at least about it and nothing has changed.
Then I remembered...... I registered at the ledge, and I just hadn't visited it. So until my account at 7 Wonders is renewed or whatever, this is my new home.
For those of you who don't know me, I am sure you will hear a lot about me from me from the 7 Wonderers who also post here. But for the word, I am 16 years old and live in Louisville. I have been a FM/Stevie Fan since 2003. As my collection grew, my love for Stevie and her music grew, and now I am proud to call myself probably the biggest chiffonhead in the straight male youth community :lol:
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hey.....
Much Love,
Ethan

So like I said earlier, I am Ethan from 7 Wonders, but originally (way back in the day) I registered for the ledge first. Since people know me as Ethan I was wondering if I could change my username???

hi ethan,
as far as i know you cant, you will have to re-register, but you will have to use a different email addy as the addy and user name are linked together- i tried to change my user name and couldnt, then tried to re register using the same email addy and it wouldnt let me-hope maybe you could ask the administrators to cancel your current account, and then start again-hope this helps

Ethan, Im not sure why you thought this was a "Stevie" community, but there are threads that deal with questions/answers throughout.

To me, this reads as "You guys aren't as good as the Seven Wonders people, but you'll have to do for now."
Just a little bit of advice, before you click "Submit Reply," reread your post and make sure it actually says what you want it to say.

Ok guys, I need to clear the air here about some misconceptions......
I am not "BANNED" from 7 Wonders. My account first started acting up on Sept. 24th. I wasn't banned, my account just had a glitch.... I had been in contact with administrators to try to get it fixed, and I think by saying I am banned, maybe they are thinking that unbanning me will get me account working again.......
I reviewed the rules at Wonders and I broke NONE of them. Normally when a person gets banned, it states a reason under it, and for me it doesn't......
I intend on leading a low key profile, and i'll tell ya, i really like what I see for the most part.....
Hope everyone has a great morning
Much Love,
Ethan

I agree with you (Sorry Vicki) and I know Ethan was belittled and ganged up on over on Seven Wonders quite a bit...why? The only reason that I could see was that he exhibited an excess of enthusiasm. I havent visited Seven Wonders in awhile so I dont know that the scuttlebutt is on his banning, but I can see that already Ethan is getting negative comments from certain posters who ARE regulars over there and who didnt care for him.....

My perception is that he would start a thread and then all hell would break loose. When it would finally die down, he would post something to crank it back up again. I'm not going to be a bully or mean about it, but I guarantee his presence will start problems over here.:shrug:
My presence will only start problems if you all start them......:nod:

Jannie, not to be harsh, but you might not realize that before this thread was made, there were many members of the 7 WOnders community who had wanted to hear about my phone call. So to inform the masses I started a thread. Yes the thread went on rediculously long, but that wasn't my doing. People decided to start arguing, and I think it is quite funny that people try to play it off as me starting the argument.... Oh Well...... That is all I am going to say about it. Let's just all get along, and If we are going to have to agree to disagree, then I guess that is what we are going to need to do, because I only want to be well recieved...
Much Love,

I remember that thread....Ethan got a lot of grief over that....and for what? announcing he was calling Stevie's management? Granted, that isnt something most people would announce, but my GAWD the level of vitriol spewed at him over that was astonishing, and to my mind, completely out of proportion to his "crime." If ever there was an example of "mob mentality," that thread is its POSTER CHILD (no pun intended for any of you braniacs!)
already, as I write this, this thread has 7 pages, of which Ethan has posted maybe 10-12 times, and each post has been polite and non-threatening, yet his mere presence here seems to get some people foaming at the mouth....go figure :shrug:

And really, you don't get a reputation for nothing. The same way cliches end up being cliches. You can twist this around whichever way you want to, but Ethan's not completely innocent, no matter how hard he might try to come across as being just that.
The fact that a lot of people's flags went up as soon as they saw his name here should tell you enough. He can't post on 7W anymore, so he has to get his yaya's out somewhere else. The latter you can't argue, he basically admitted that himself.

interesting....what he SAID was, he wasnt banned, he was having account issues. I dont know whether he is banned or not, all I know is he got dumped on over there and now in this new board he's getting dumped on right out of the gate. What I recall of his posts over on 7W, he was CONSTANTLY saying he didnt want any fighting, he tried many times to ask that people just calm down. What I saw happening over there was that a group of "insiders" bristled at his cheek in saying he was going to contact Stevie, or his quest for information about her...neither of which deserved the crapola he got in response. Looked to me like certain people over there (and here??) resented his attempts to get close to Stevie (in whatever form that took) which is just BS IMO. Stevie is not anyone's personal property and nobody has the right to ostracize a newbie for having the chutzpah to ASK for cripes sake.
So, please explain just WHAT Ethan's reputation is for, why dont you?

1) if his quest is unrealistic, he'll find out soon enuff. I cant see why ANYONE would feel the need to discourage him. As for disturbing, like I said, it seemed to me to be the "insiders" who found it so. Im quite certain that Stevie or her management or security personnel would be quite equal to the task of protecting her.
2) you never did SAY what his reputation was for, thus how could you be repeating yourself? Please clarify.

I agree with you danax6. I was one of the people over on 7 Wonders who said from the beginning "his behavior was disturbing". I took a lot of slack on that board by people who (at that time) staunchly defended him. Most of those people no longer defend him. I said it would be only a matter of time......now he is banned from 7 Wonders....it is just a matter of time before the people here see it too.....as someone said in another post... "the ledge will eat him alive".

not just you, my friend....it doesnt make sense to me either. But its not relevant to his presence here really. and, frankly, it makes no difference to me if he HAS been truly banned over there. All Im saying is, until he's proven to be an issue HERE, we should give him the benefit of the doubt.

I really don't understand why Ethan couldn't have been given a break. There is no law that says people have to sign up here and make this their permanent family for the rest of their lives. He said he was going to hang out here for a little while, so what. Even if he stated it in a way that put people off, he made clear that wasn't his intention, and he still got bashed.
I don't care what he has done on other boards. If he's a crappy poster, he will soon be ignored. If he's a poster worthy of being banned, that's why we have moderators. If he's a good poster, then it would be nice if he could be allowed to show that.

Awhile back, one of our clients saw me wearing it and said "I love your top, but it doesn't really suit you." When I gave her a confused look, she added "You're not a grumpy person."
After I caught my breath from busting up laughing, I replied "I think my coworkers would beg to differ." :laugh:

Ah yes, back when Daria was a mere supporting character. The spinoff was so much better, though I liked Beavis and Butthead. I just find sarcastic humor more to my liking than juvenile sex humor, fart humor, and screams of "Fire, fire, fire!"

He will be judged by his behavior on this board and if you'll read the post above that one you will see that I said "You've done nothing wrong here and are welcome to post."
If you've already established that someone can't change, then clearly you are already judging them here. If you already have negative feelings about him, you will be predisposed to pick out everything he does or says that you most likely overlook from other ledgies. As Irishgirl said, there are many people here who have done worse things. If there is a rule about not posting a URL to another website it should be enforced for everyone or ammended.

This is getting odd and alarming. To quote one of my favorite films..."I have a bad feeling about this...."
Trucker Mike is cool, don't worry about a thing.
Actually - he's SUPER cool.
Stevie, I believe, knows about him (through other fans that have gotten stuff to her from him - nothing psycho, don't worry) - and likes him very much.
He's got some great stories, great insights, can be VERY funny, and is a very down to earth guy with some very interesting stories to tell. I don't wanna say more because he might want to tell the stories in his own time but he's somebody that's worthy of a lot of respect. That's just my own personal opinion, of course, but I would predict that he would be very popular here, as he is over on 7-wonders.
Ethan is - uhmmm - enthusiatic. Very. (very... :lol: )
But, i.m.o., not actively offensive. Never mean, at least not that I've seen.
Just my two cents, for whatever it's worth.

Ok guys, I need to clear the air here about some misconceptions......
I reviewed the rules at Wonders and I broke NONE of them.

another thing that needs clarification:
Ethan's explanation that he was having account problems is true, and it is also true that it led to him being banned, that is, when he couldnt get in under his primary account, he created another account but unwittingly broke the rule about multiple accounts from the same IP address. He's contacted the admin over there to try and resolve the issue but that is the reason you see ***banned*** by his name.

Hi Guys,
Having been warmly welcomed both here and at Seven Wonders I am surprised that their seems to be "friction" but anyway that is beside the point.
I just wanted to say something...
From having read many of the threads that Ethan started and that may have turned into riotous (spelling?) fun or not... the one thing that always got me was "How can a 16 year old cause so much angst?" and I think the answer is that most people forget that he is so young...:shrug:
I think if we remember that he is only a teenager then many of us may find it easier to accept some of the over enthusiastic numerous posts as part of "growing up" and learning how to socialise in different environments.
I have tended to be of the opinion that if you keep answering posts when you are annoyed that you tend to "fuel the fire"... I try to keep to the old adage... "If you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all" .. especially on the net as so much can be misunderstood through grammatic error and language differences, etc...
anyway I suppose I am just saying if we factor in "age", young Ethan is probably the same as about 80% of the worlds teenage population, craving acceptance and extremely enthusiastic about the things that he is interested in ie. Stevie, FM, Girls, Love, Love, and Love! (I'm sure thats all I was interested in way back in the 80's when I was a teenager.:laugh: except it was Boys;) .
God this is probably the longest post I've ever made...
anyway I hope you all dont think I am overstepping in saying the above but it is just my observation...
love to all :xoxo:

Trucker Mike is cool, don't worry about a thing.
Actually - he's SUPER cool.
Stevie, I believe, knows about him (through other fans that have gotten stuff to her from him - nothing psycho, don't worry) - and likes him very much.
He's got some great stories, great insights, can be VERY funny, and is a very down to earth guy with some very interesting stories to tell. I don't wanna say more because he might want to tell the stories in his own time but he's somebody that's worthy of a lot of respect. That's just my own personal opinion, of course, but I would predict that he would be very popular here, as he is over on 7-wonders.

How can you say this:
And then say this
If you've already established that someone can't change, then clearly you are already judging them here. If you already have negative feelings about him, you will be predisposed to pick out everything he does or says that you most likely overlook from other ledgies. As Irishgirl said, there are many people here who have done worse things. If there is a rule about not posting a URL to another website it should be enforced for everyone or ammended.
I'm setting boundaries. It's part of having healthy relationships. I'm familiar with Musicman408 from out there in cyberspace.
As for how I interpret the rules of The Ledge, well there was a pretty lengthy thread on that a while back where I got my ass crucified. The key word here is interpret. I don't make autonomous decisions unless the situation absolutely calls for it (for example, locking or dumping a thread that is getting out of hand too quickly). All other decisions, opinions, etc. are discussed by all the mods and then we make our decisions by majority. Sometimes it takes a little while because all of us live in different time zones and have widely varying schedules.
And that's probably more than you ever wanted to know about moderating The Ledge. :laugh:

Saddam did business with a guy named Donald Rumsfeld before we decided we didn't like him anymore. Who was Mr. Rumsfeld working for at the time? Either George Herbert Walker Bush, Ronald Reagan or both.
And just for clarification purposes, the UN inspectors found no evidence that Saddam was doing anything he wasn't supposed to in reference to weapons of mass destruction or anything else for that matter. He was just sitting on a ****load of oil, the third largest supply in the world.
And yes, I would like to thank TruckerMike for going over to Iraq and working for Haliburton or one of it's subsidiaries and putting his life in danger every day. Our middle class economy has been so decimated by the current Republican administration and it's cronies that one of the few decent non union jobs left in this country is going over to Iraq and risking getting your ass shot off so you can make a decent living wage to live the "American dream."
The man has my utmost respect.
