AfricaBrass Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 WOW! I've been sick for the last 5 days and I missed this. Wow! I always miss the fun. I have to applaud Jim Sangrey's reply to Musicboy. I am a Christian myself, but I don't expect anyone else to have my beliefs and behave the way I choose too. I believe God himself gave us free will, Musicboy. You're doing no service to your faith by bringing it into this argument. So a couple people asked some silly questions on your Norah shrine. Maybe if you spent some time focusing on the object of your faith, you would be so uptight if one of your IDOLs (Norah Jones) got a little bit of teasing. It disgusts me that a fellow Christian would resort to threats. What's the big deal? You seem to be dealing with the problem by banning the "troublemakers" - I've had my moments of frustration on this board hearing negative things about Christianity. But am I going to change people's view of Christians by being a jerk about it. I choose to visit this board. I like the people here. If you have a problem with it, crawl back under your Norah Jones shaped rock. It's people like you that give Christianity a bad name. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Sorry Joe, I don't mean to stir up Musicboy and his henchmen to turn the music industry on Organissimo. It just makes me sick that threats like this can be made. Musicboy, Joe's post makes it perfectly clear that their group has nothing to do with this. The nastiest behaivor has come from you. Because of your faith, you should act better than this. My name is Jeff Blake (you can blacklist me all you want). :rsmile: Quote

shawn·m Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I think that the NJ version of softsong is our own catesta under deep cover Just what we need, I thought. Another over-reactionary, seek-and-destroy zealot, but I’m beginning to sense the overwhelming and ironic truth. NOBODY expects the catesta! Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless comedy, an almost fanatical devotion to good jazz, and nice ribbed condoms- Oh damn! Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 (edited) Come on, Musicboy, we know you're here. How's about you come out, call a truce, and then you leave our board alone, and we'll leave your board alone. And hell, we're already leaving your board alone, cuz we're too busy responding to your threats (here on our board), and your "holier-than-thou" attitude. Edited May 19, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote

You're doing no service to your faith by bringing it into this argument. Count me among the resident Organissimo Christians who can't quite see the spirit of divine faith manifesting in Musicboy's words and actions. Let it go, "bro"--everybody here was prepared to do the same. I'll spare you the condescending suggestions and biblical invocations, though you haven't spared us. Quote

Musicboy Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 (edited) Musicboy. You're doing no service to your faith by bringing it into this argument. It's people like you that give Christianity a bad name. Africa Brass, Just in case you are a Christian. I'll give you the courtesy of an explaination. First off, I wasn't the one who brought religious views into this. One of the trolls from this board did. See below: "Hard core Christian Fundamentalists on flame with lite pop music, empowered with rights to censor. Watch out. And no, they can't take a joke. Too *#$%*?! stupid and unable to think for themselves." Ok, that was posted before you heard a word from anyone at NJI. Now if you think I'm going to allow people like this to come over & make more work for me all night, I'm sorry, but you need to think about it again. I'm running out of patience with this site. It is now bordering on violating my civil rights as a Christian. I'm thinking about having it shut down completely on that basis alone, because the moderators refuse to respect anyone's beliefs. This is No longer a norahjones.info issue now. I'm thinking this is getting personal, so maybe the dept of Justice would like to see some of the hate speech that's going on here? Keep it up boys. I got all day for the next month to deal with it. If the band don't care about us, why would we be worried about their fate? I wasn't making threats. I don't do threats, I always follow through when people attack me or my beliefs. I just do it under the law. So, if you want to keep playing big shot with me.. That's your choice. My religion is Christian. & you are now personally offending me, & others. I'm recording all of this, because If I need to go to the DOJ with it, I will. AfricanBrass? Also I'd like to address the comment you made about me "Blacklisting" the band. Do you think I have the power to single handedly turn the music industry against them? Or are you a bit afraid that just having people come here & look at all these postings would be enough to do it? Cause that is all I PROMISED to do if this doesn't stop. I never THREATENED anyone. You all have more to lose than I do, so if you want to keep up the aggression, you'll indeed live with some consequences. I'll make no comments regarding YOUR Christianity or faith since I don't know YOU personally ABrass.. Too bad you didn't give me the same courtesy. Edited May 19, 2003 by Musicboy Quote
shawn·m Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Yes! Oh yes! That was definitely worth the wait. Good job, bravo! Quote
Big Wheel Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 (edited) I'm running out of patience with this site. It is now bordering on violating my civil rights as a Christian. LMAO. Can I quote you on my political philosophy final tomorrow? Edited May 19, 2003 by Big Wheel Quote

Ed S Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Posted May 19, 2003 For the record, and just in case anyone at the Department of Justice cares, I hate hate speech Quote
chris olivarez Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Ok musicboy let's make sure that I have this straight.Are you saying that only conservative Christians should have rights? Quote
Joe G Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Dan, How about just not coming back for more abuse? It's not that you're a Christian, it's you personally. It's not that we don't respect anyone's rights, on the contrary, we respect everyone's rights. Everyone has a right to disagree, respectfully. You really have not been respectful. Jeff (africabrass) is a kind person who in the past has stood up for his beliefs and was shown due respect. It's a community here and as an outsider, you are expected to work your way in with courtesy, not barge in issuing threats. Yes, threats. I don't think it ever was a norahjones issue, because as so many have already stated, there was never any norah bashing going on, in fact most of the posts in this thread were in her defense! Ah.. forget it. Do what you want. You are obviously not a reasonable man. I refer you back to my opening statement. Goodbye. Joe Quote
