connoisseur series500 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Sometimes Couw gets in a good one. Of course, with all his posts, I bet his ratio still sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hello everybody. As I said I returned to the thread to "modify" my response and was greeted with label of "crackhead" and "Needless to say you deserve a big FUCK YOU! Scumbag...". I probably would have let the first post "go by" if he had not addressed us all as his "brothers". To me this insults the intelligence of all the males here, to say nothing about our valuable female members. Been on this board and some others for a number of years and have developed some "brothers", a bunch of friends, and a couple of "stay aways". That is the way the internet community works. I simply felt "used". If any of you feel otherwise, I'm sorry. I hope Mr Mingus becomes a useful contributor and proves me wrong. I'm sorry I disturbed some folks and I hope someone got the Mobley set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Personally I don't care if an offer to trade is someone's first post, or even if he calls me brother (though that's a bit tacky). I'm mystified, astounded, by turns amused and aghast at the notion of someone listening to the Mobley Mosaic once and wanting to trade it. Huh? How is that possible? I demand that he listen to it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryan Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I see your points, Chuck. It is a bit "sketchy" when someone solicits a sale with his first post and pretends as though everyone here is his "friend". If he had established himself no one would have questioned him. Maybe he is new to these types of BB's, maybe not. Nevertheless, Chuck's comments should not be frowned upon, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 There's a fill-in DJ on the local "jazz and justice" radio station. Goes by the name "Brother Hodari" [phonetic spelling]. All through his broadcast, it's "Brother So and So," and, "Brother xyz" and sometimes, "Sister So and So" [no, not literally ]. All voiced in a decidedly unctuous manner. From the rap he lays down, it's not clear if this is a new form of Islamic posturing (I use the word advisedly, because it sounds like posturing when he does it) (he's always on about teachings of Islam), or a new form of black nationalism, in which everyone is a brother or sister. I'm not knocking either Islam or black nationalism, but it really bothers me when this guy uses "Brother " as if he decided we have all just signed up for his commune, or whatever. It just seems presumptuous for the guy to be "Brothering" me and the other listeners. It seems a little too slick and un-earned. Is this a new fad or something?

robviti Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 (edited) It just seems presumptuous for the guy to be "Brothering" me and the other listeners. It seems a little too slick and un-earned. Is this a new fad or something? there's nothing new about being a brother, or being a brother looking for money.

couw Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I didn't realise this was about alleged family ties. Sorry if I misunderstood all that was going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I felt the exact same way that Chuck did. If he didn't do his post, I would have... Tacky... ---------------- But then again, who remembers my first post on the 'ol BNBB? B-) We all make "faux paus" sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
