Will you two chat via telephone? e-mail? messenger pigeon?

Why is your Monday afternoon free? No work? no school? any interesting errands you plan to run?

What sort of homework do you have? Did you finish it in time for class? did you remember to proofread it? Was the homework an exercise in pointlessness or a genuine learning experience?

When you reach the end of your shift at work, could you just plotz?

Yeah... if you could just point me to where the word 'plotz' is listed in the dictionary, I might actually be able to answer your question.

I'm serious! Someone tell me what it means, or it'll bug me!

Two days later, and I see everything's back to "normal."

I think some are losing sight of the entire reason I posted my thoughts to begin with... and apparently the spirit behind the thoughts is being overlooked.

Perhaps everyone should re-read the initial post in this thread, before they add anything more to it.
Or simply let it stop right here.

plotz (verb)
fall down dead right now Usage: "oy, after all that shopping I'm about to plotz" Or "Ham and cheese sandwiches? If your grandfather weren't already dead, he'd plotz." Also see shikse for usage.

CarneVaca, you need to shut the hell up with your holier than thou attitude. By posting what you did, you've proved that you're just as much a hypocrite as anyone else round here. You can say what you like to me in response to that, because I really don't give a damn, you pathetic troll.

Laura.

Your desire to stick yourself in the line of fire is absolutely astounding to me. Clearly I wasn't referring to you, but if you want to pick a fight and call me names... First, you don't know what a hypocrite is. Sue your school and demand your money back because it's not helping. But ignorance can be cured, so there's hope for you.

And by the way, as David cleverly pointed out, no one gives a **** what you're doing in school and how busy you are, so why don't you take that drivel about your very small life somewhere else? This is a discussion board about a band, not a slumber party for silly little girls who can't control their temper.

Now, Jooooohnny, does "pathetic troll" qualify as a "strike-able" offense?

Rainman · #24 09-13-2002, 11:21 PM

Criminy, this place is like a dysfunctional family.

Johnny Stew posts an absolutely marvelous sentiment (and thank you JS), and within two days we have people at each others' throats over this very post.

Mindblowing.

Johnny Stew · #25 09-13-2002, 11:27 PM

CarneVaca... as always, when there is a violation of the FAQs, appropriate action is taken.

And again, I'd like to remind everyone to read the FIRST post in this thread.
And maybe re-read it, if need be. I'm not entirely sure that it has sunk in.

I'd also like to suggest to one and all, that if you're not interested in a particular thread, read another.
And if you don't care for the postings of one Ledgie or another, take advantage of the "Ignore" feature offered here at The Ledge.
(By the way, this is not now an opportunity for people to begin listing all those they have ignored. If you have put someone on ignore, or if you plan to, then do so privately. Announcing it merely invites more arguments.)

And finally, in the interest of keeping the peace...
when possible, please try to keep private conversations exactly that... private.
We have a terrific Private Messaging system here for those kinds of things.

Marty couldn't have made this more user-friendly, folks!... so take advantage of all the cool perks and options.

So let me get this straight: If unbeknownst to me someone reports me and I get a strike I never find out who my accuser is. And if I am on the receiving end of a violation I never find out if the perpetrator was warned or given a strike?

Who wrote these rules, John Ashcroft?

CarneVaca... we do not now, nor have we ever, let Ledgies decide who gets a strike or a warning.
We DO review the situation if something in particular is pointed out to us by a Ledgie (we can't be everywhere after all), but the final decision on what kind of action to take is ALWAYS left up to the moderators.

And in the event that a matter is initially brought to our attention by a Ledgie, we do not disclose said Ledgie's name to any party involved.
Reporting a post is something that everyone should feel free to do without fear of repercussion (though this doesn't mean that anyone has carte blanche to abuse this option. Please always use the "Report This Post" feature with discretion).

Conversely, we do not inform anyone of who has or hasn't received a strike or warning. That is a private matter between the moderators and the person in question.

We realize that our methods will not please everyone, but we feel this is the best way to handle a situation when it arises.

Before anyone registers here, they are always advised to read the FAQs. If they disagree with any of the rules here, or don't wish to abide by them, it's always their right to opt not to register or post.

And while we try to handle all matters here as democratically as possible, in the end this is a private forum.
I know of many other private message boards that don't ask questions, and don't give second-chances. If you violate their rules, you're out. No ifs, ands, or buts.
So I think we handle things pretty darn fairly here. And if, as the saying goes, one keeps their nose clean... they'll have nothing to worry about.

Hope this answers your question, CarneVaca (and anyone else who was curious).

Perhaps if you all would quit posting things that would earn you strikes in the first place, you would not have to worry about who reported you!

Anyway, what does any of this (strikes, personal conversations, name calling, etc...) have to do with Stevie Nicks......I am in the Stevie forum still, right? I mean, I don't remember clicking over to any other forum or anything......

That was a nice post, by the way, Johnny Stew.....sorry it seems to have been wasted.......thank you for it anyway.

A simple yes or no would have done the trick.

Right on Bro!!!! They are tiresome creatures aren't they? (Girls, girls, girls!! Get thee to The ****-Shat Forum!!! :

: ) Stop clogging up discussions. Who wants to wade through all this stuff for some intellect! Speaking of intellect, it's the "silly little girls" and psycho-posters who get away with MURDER whilst the intelligent, brilliant-writer, amazingly knowledeable TRUE MAC FANS such as you, Carne, get strikes/banned! Go figure!!! :

: So here's what I suggest. Just use the link below as a standard reply and say NOTHING. This fan message board would be nothing without your edgey wit and bravery! Sitting on traffic cones may be just the ticket to curing some of this teenagery ~**manic depression-I-"ball"-all-night-long"**~ stuff that's rampant here. If not some prozac and a polo mallet:
