Ed S Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Posted May 20, 2003 I'm still not finding the link to Bob Jones University. Where exactly is the related links page? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 I'm still not finding the link to Bob Jones University. Where exactly is the related links page? It's on the personal page of one of their board mods. There's a link from his personal profile on their board, to his own personal web-page (here), and the Bob Jones link is near the bottom of the list. Quote
7/4 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 I'm still not finding the link to Bob Jones University. Where exactly is the related links page? here. He's another "moderator" at the NJ board. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 I can still get on the NJ board. Don't you need a smiley like this: - when you're over there??? I mean, you are undercover. Quote
Neon Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 It is unacceptable to me that my site (which incidentally is not some corporate institution, but a fan site set up by me) be associated with anyone who uses any means to threaten anyone. No matter how the words are phrased. I read his posts here as threatening. If this was my board I'd be madder than you are. On the other hand, it takes a lot to make me mad. This did it, though. You have raised a number of valid points which require answering - at least to my satisfaction. However, as of now, musicboy is not officially associated with norahjones.info, except in the status of an ordinary member, nor has he ever represented the views or ethos of the site on the organissimo message boards. I do not regard this outcome as a victory for anyone. It is a sad reflection on society and the way we perceive other human beings, whose views and opinions may not agree with our own. For what it may be worth at this stage, I think you're a cool bunch of guys - and the band sounds great! Rob Quote
Big Wheel Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Bravo and thanks for restoring some sanity to this whole matter. Quote
Jim Dye Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Cheers, Neon! Thanks for the kind words. Quote
shawn·m Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Had to be rougher on you, Neon, than just about anybody. Thanks for keeping a sense of humor and perspective. Quote
catesta Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 For what it may be worth at this stage, I think you're a cool bunch of guys - and the band sounds great! Thanks !!! While I'm not an official member of the band, I do play a mean triangle, so it's only a matter of time. Neon, that was a very stand up thing to do. Quote
Joe G Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Thank you Rob. We very much appreciate your handling of this matter, and you are welcome to drop in anytime. Joe Gloss Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 (edited) Yes, Rob, you've handled this well. Please feel free to join us, if you like. As I'm sure you know, we have a lively exchange here, and there's always room for more. Update on my goings-on at the NJ board... I got my signature back, and Musicboy can't delete it now!!! Go to http://www.organissimo.org/forum/ for some GREAT discussion about jazz, politics, and more!!! (Warning - some 'adult' language at times, so if you are under 18 years of age, please get one of your parent's permission first.) Musicboy sent me a PM last night telling me he had edited my posts to take out any links to the Organissimo board. This meant my signature was gone, as well as a link I had given for the "Race" topic I started over here, and last night started over there too. He cited concern for "the children", so that's why I included the "over 18" part in my sig., which I don't think is necessary, but there's nothing like doing what you want and playing by their rules, all at the same time!!

Ed S Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Posted May 20, 2003 Hopefully this ends the matter. Rob did the right thing in my opinion. Hopefuly 'boy will just let it drop at this point. Thanks Rob. Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Thanks for being reasonable, Rob. I stick to only one BB but it's nice to know we've got good decent people running other boards as well. In the end, sanity and good sense prevails. Hope you stick around here, Neon. :rsmile: Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 (edited) But, of course, the overwhelming question remains: how can Musicboy with all his marvelous connections in the music business be dumped as a moderator for a Norah Jones board? I mean, doesn't he have BIG CONNECTIONS, and isn't he THE ULTIMATE ARBITRATOR OF MORALITY?, and isn't he the HOLIEST BEING ON THE PLANET? and isn't he the NUMBER ONE CAT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?

Sica Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Didnt I point out that he wasnt? He was just making a big noise and all. So we all made some big noises back. Im glad things are calming down, and I think what Rob said was truthful and made sense. Im sorry for getting so upset, but when people mess with my family I always get a bit...angry. Love to all, Jessie Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 (edited) FYI, there are now substantial changes to the rules and regulations at the Norah Jones board, just as of today.

Guest Mnytime Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 (edited) Just for clarification on for my part. Neon, who turns out to be a scholar and gentlemen, says that MusicBoy is only a member. So how was he able to ban people and delete posts and whole threads? I do recall him saying he was a Moderator. Am I missing something or was he removed as Moderator? How was the Bob Jones Link added? Neon doesn't come across as someone that would have added it. While MusicBoy on the other hand comes across as a Graduate Student. Well maybe not a Graduate if you know what I mean. Neon: Come on by anytime you want. While Norah is not my personal cup of tea to each his or her own. Any comments on the Bob Jones University link? Edited May 20, 2003 by Mnytime Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Neon/Rob, Add me to the Organissimo forum members who want to invite you to return to this forum. You'd be a great addition around here. I appreciate/respect how reasonable you have been in this whole mess. :rsmile: Quote
Jad Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Hey, I've been gone all weekend. Miss anything? Quote
