JSngry Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Disappointing, to say the least. The sincerely offended zealot with the power to bring down mountains is not-so-slowly fading to exhibit the much less vivid hues of yet another victim of a persecution complex on a self-imagined power trip, a Shriner trying to race one of those wacky mini-cars in the Indy 500, and threatening to call in the DOJ because all the cars are faster than his. The NERVE of them! Oh well, it was a good show while it lasted, but it looks like the Second Act ain't worth sticking around for. Just as well, I suppose. There's a REAL world to deal with, doncha know... Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 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. Musicboy, none of us are posting on your beloved Norah sight any more. Nobody has in nearly a day. YOU are on OUR board, making threats/promises to us and our board mods, and you say that YOU'RE the one who's rights are being violated??????????????????? Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I don't know you and I didn't mean to offend you Musicboy. I'm sorry if I did, but I thought I saw veiled threats in your posts. I don't doubt your faith. I'm glad you have it. My faith is everything to me. I'm sorry that you've been kept up moderating your board. I haven't posted on it and I've had no intention of doing so. I hope this can all end. You have my word that I won't mess with your board. As far as your civil rights go, I'm sorry you feel offended. I read things on this board sometimes that really hurt my feelings too, but that's the world. I guess I've found that in being a Christian, I've had to develop a pretty thick skin. I'm not going to argue with you, but I think it's more important that we show the love of Christ to each other rather than being nasty. Maybe people will see the good things about Christianity instead of the negative. Please accept my apology if I offended you. Quote
Ed S Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Posted May 19, 2003 ......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...... Just what constitutes a threat then jerk Quote
JSngry Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 He's still here, which leads me to think that he's getting off on the negative attention he's receiving.... Quote
shawn·m Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Yes! Excellent response music boy, but I’ve stayed up well past my bedtime to watch this fascinating tragedy evolve. It’s time to retire, but before I do, I just wanted to say thanks for rallying the membership into glorious defense like no other. My sincere apologies to Jim Dye. I knew better, and still got sucked in. Quote

When someone says they are Christian and upholds Christian values - this is what I expect. Not threats, accusations, and defamations Quote
Musicboy Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Chris, I don't have time to discuss this with you. If you'll notice, I've only been responding to the stuff I need to. In hopes that people will come to their senses before I'm forced to do what I have to. I have no quarrel with the band, other than the fact they seem to think anything is permissible on their message boards, even when it breaks laws. Now people are getting hateful towards Christians here. I have plenty of proof logged, & I've matched up a few IP's & e-mails.. Sooo... we'll let the law figure it out if need be. I don't have all day to discuss it with you. I'll be wasting enough of my valuable time if certain individuals force me to make a legal example out of them. I may not necessarily win, but it won't be fun for them. Again, if it were me, I would have locked this thread & deleted it long ago, considering the potential civil rights violations here, Not up to me. Up to the band now. Quote
Ed S Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Posted May 19, 2003 He's still here, which leads me to think that he's getting off on the negative attention he's receiving.... ahem........and I think Norah's band is great. I really think Norah's piano playing is great too, but not as great as her sing, which is super-great . Quote
Jim Dye Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 My sincere apologies to Jim Dye. I knew better, and still got sucked in Before you apologize, maybe you should see my latest post on the other thread.... Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Musicboy, Joe said it all. We respect each other here. We do have very different beliefs, but we still respect each other. There will be things said that may hurt feelings from time to time, but we still are a group of friends here. There is nothing hateful going on. Just people with different opinions. This is America, free speech and all. I'm glad the moderators here don't automatically shut down every thread where people disagree. I wouldn't come back here if they did. We're adults after all. Please go back to your board. Quote

It has nothing to do woth your being a Christian. It has everything to do with you being an idiot. So now you're threatening to make lives miserable because you have come here issuing threats and character assasinations. Get lost. Quote
chris olivarez Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 That Frank Zappa song "Jesus Thinks Your'e a Jerk" comes to mind. Quote
Noj Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Wonders never cease--this thread went 11 pages. Musicboy's censorship in this case indicates a lack of *faith* in the quality of the product. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Musicboy, I hate to burst your bubble, but the post you keep complaining about was written by one of YOUR board's members that came over here, not one of OUR board's members that went over there. But that's okay; we'll keep him! This is all so silly I can't believe it's real. Still, as long as it brought back Dan's "bouncing boobie" avatar. I haven't felt this calm since it went away... Quote
JSngry Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 What if "musicboy" is really Greg having a laugh at our expense? Quote
RDK Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Hey guys, just got back. I was away for a few days... what I miss? Quote
catesta Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Hey guys, just got back. I was away for a few days... what I miss? What's the password? Quote
ghost of miles Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Hey guys, just got back. I was away for a few days... what I miss? What... is your favorite color? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 That's it ghost; you're banned. You know better than to ask that question! Quote
ghost of miles Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 But... but... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I am not sure how I missed this hilarious thread and Musicboys strange concept of Free Speech and civil rights. If this nut thinks the DOJ will get involved over what has been posted here in this thread he really has a lot to learn. Especially since the majority of the posters I believe that have a problem with him are Christians themselves. You know this has almost made me laugh as much as Jim’s Wal-Mart/Target soliloquy. Quote

Especially since the majority of the posters I believe that have a problem with him are Christians themselves. No doubt. Especially considering all of the truly evil and vile stuff you can find on the internet without much effort. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Have you ever seen such a bold display of Good Cop (neon) - Bad Copy (Musicboy)? Quote
catesta Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 (edited) I'M MUSICBOY..., HE'S NEON !!! Edited May 19, 2003 by catesta Quote
