JSngry Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 You know this is all a little crazy. I'm not saying threatening a person is proper but for chrissake it's the internet. Do you think he's going to come to Jim's house or SS1's house and kill them. I seriously doubt it. He got pissed and let off steam. Ok, but consider a not-too-far-fetched scenario where Jeff falls victim to a random act of violence that leaves him either dead or crippled. Shit happens, right? Now, let's say that the investigators get wind of the fact that a "death threat" had been issued via this BBS. Does Jim need the hassle of having his board becoming the object of a legal investifation? Take it one step further - let's say that somehow the perps were identified as having been driving a car w/Washington license plates, or somewhere that might make the potential of a connection even slightly more plausible. More investigation, more suspiscion, more hassle. Now, let's say that somebody tries to tie Jim and the board into the liability for Jeff's misfortune and seeks some kind of renumeration and/or puntative damages. Who needs that? Couldn't happen? Probably not. But "probably" is definitely not "couldn't", and "couldn't" happens all the time. Jim did what he had to do. If Jeff has any sense, he'll chill the fuck out about the whole deal right now and from henceforth on, and should Aric come back in whatever guise, he'd be well advised to do the same too. If life was totally predictable, therewould be no problem, But...
Christiern Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Someone ought to start a new BBS, somewhere far, far away, call it ELBAnned, and open it up to all the banished ones from this an other boards. I bet it would be lively and eminently stalkable.
Joe G Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Jim did what he had to do.

If life was totally predictable, therewould be no problem, But... My sentiments as well, and from the start of this little mess.
Dr. Rat Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I know this has been kicked around before, but does the board have to become the forum where "deals gone sour" greivances get aired. As far as I'm concerned, deals should get cut between two people, off the board, and the settlement of any greivances should also be pursued somewhere other than here. If you think someone is using the board to entice others into bad deals, write to the moderating team, write to people on the board you know may be buyers (and let them decide whom to trust), but don't post. There's more than one sort of illegal activity for which this board *may* be liable for providing a conduit. This particular deal being one of them. I'd say buyers and sellers should feel free to meet here, but they ought to get off the square when they're doing their deal. And the board isn't responsible for seeing that deals go through as promised. --eric
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 somewhere far, far away, call it ELBAnned, and open it up to all the banished ones from this an other boards. I bet it would be lively and eminently stalkable. Oh boy, just what you'd like.....a little cyber island fortress where you could play warden and go on at length about your favorite politicians -- day after day...month after month...decade after decade...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Ah, I remember when that Aric guy used to post here all the time......like it was yesterday.
Soulstation1 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 whatever is dished my way i can handle it, i won't threathen to kill everyone and wish cancer on them. i didn't make any physical threats to anyone here or post a naked guy's penis on this bb, so possibly a minor might see it. isn't jazzcat under 18 yo? even posting a pic of porno for a sec here is WRONG and NOT the place for that kinda shit aric should be banned for that, PERIOD have any of my posts over the past few days mention the money jungle? NO i've posted very little in all this mess, had lots and lots of pics though i am the only one to remember that back in the day (2000) cdrs was more $$$$ than today. seriously one sony cdr w/ case was around $1.50-2.00 each, i think it was 5 cdrs for $10. so i spent just as much money on those as m/j would have cost. aric didn't have a cdr burner back in the day i've done around 50 cdr swaps and never had any probs when jim had a prob with my sig / avatar it was changed within 2 minutes. you guys can't tell me what i can / can not post, only jim has that power. i could say something about everyone's sig or avatar, that bugs me. what i did to aric was not in anyway illegal or abuse. it might have been alittle much, but did it hurt anyone physically or their feelings. ss1
Big Al Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Jim's a very laidback, very fairminded guy; I'd say getting kicked off by him should be cause for self-reflection on the bannee's part. You hit the nail on the head there, my friend.
Big Al Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Someone ought to start a new BBS, somewhere far, far away, call it ELBAnned, and open it up to all the banished ones from this an other boards. I bet it would be lively and eminently stalkable. As well as being populated by those who feel that the "banned" should never have been banned in the first place. One imagines that the talk of SACDs would be pretty prominent over there.....

Some boards have "Hell" forums where certain threads are consigned... there could be a "Hell" forum for the damne--er, I mean, banned.
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Why not bring Effron back as long as he agrees to take sole responsibility for managing the dozens of daily B'Day threads? Edited March 17, 2005 by Son-of-a-Weizen
Guest che Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 You know I been on this board a short time, and already people have passed some very disparaging comments. A thread of mine has been locked, and people seem to be able to say whatever they want use what ever profanities they like, and very little happens to them. Even one of the board organizers was threatening in his tone towards me. I have read this whole thread and my view is that you cannot go around abusing people full stop. Too much of that goes on and in my humble opinion, too little is done about it until it reaches a crises point. People like Africabrass seem to be able to tread the path between some very diverse thinking. So why can we not do this ourselves? Just some teatime thoughts Che.
Guest DizzySpells Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 After a night of solid sleep, I still think Aric should be given another chance. I think his way of behaving was taken advantage of these past days, and I think he should get a chance to show that he's willing to adapt somewhat to the etiquette here. I'm not siding with the underdog, but having been around here long enough to read (enjoy and hate) most of his posts, I think a lot of it was an act that this board helped to support. People were expecting Aric to be the way he was, and we have enough examples of people being totally surprised when he didn't post what people expected. Invariably he got responses like "WHAT, NO CAPS?" or people throwing his older posts back at him to practically force him back into recognizable patterns. Give the guy a break, but throw him out if this (hopefully temporary) banning didn't cure him. If he didn't learn from that, he doesn't deserve another chance. And remember: It's about time for a love day again here on Organissimo. I know how sensitive an issue it is to have death threads on an Internet board, especially if many members are American, but I'd like to go on record that to my knowledge and expertise (I do have some of that), Aric is NOT a lunatic gunman. If I'm wrong, you may string me up by my balls. God, Aric, I'm putting my balls on the line for you, so get with the programme if they give you another chance! Or I'll fu**ing kill you.
Soulstation1 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 man, i wouldn't risk my grapefruits for anyone around here.... i wub them tooooooo much
Soul Stream Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Aric and Deep....their constant reappearance and banning on all jazz boards is becoming borish. Their presence is ALWAYS at the expense of others. I fail to understand people's support of them other than their own selfishness.
Bright Moments Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 jim- give aric another chance. put him on probation.
Noj Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Maybe Aric could be allowed back after a suspension, and he and SS1 could be automatically relegated to each others' ignore lists by Jim. However, I respect Jim's decisions thus far and think he has been more than reasonable.
Soul Stream Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I've got an idea.... Let's invite Aric and Deep back and give them their own catagory. That way, all their fans could go play with them and enjoy the abuse, and the others could stay out of harm's way. Honestly, to say either of them really added anything of substance is a stretch. Mostly it is abuse sprinkled with knowledge. Lightly sprinkled. Come on folks, a little support for Jim here. I see very little of it.
7/4 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Come on folks, a little support for Jim here. I see very little of it. I'm with Sheriff Jim on this one.
ghost of miles Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I definitely support Jim's decision in this and I think we should move on. I do like the idea, tho, of having a separate "train wreck" section where these guys along with the jazzwank fella can set up their own circle jerk corner. Amen! Hell Forum Used to have music... didn't hear it this time. The ads are new, though.
ejp626 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I support Jim's decision. Honestly, I was thinking this thread was closed and if not, it should be soon. Aric had his moments, but he really had gotten out of hand lately, forcing Jim to edit and tone down his posts (remember The Floor Above Her). Maybe he really was having some trouble adjusting to new meds, but enough is enough.
Rooster_Ties Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Allright people, let's just settle this thing once and for all and hand out an appropriate punishment ---- Rooster gets banned for violating the 'too much sucking up on one thread' rule.  BUT, seriously, (and probably most importantly!!) -- I still think this is Jim's board, and therefore think that Jim ought to do whatever he thinks is best, including ignoring what I think. Whatever. It's Jim's board, and it's Jim's call, and I'll back whatever he decides. I've given Jim all the support I can, without risking my own neck further. It's all up to the rest of you at this point...
AllenLowe Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 i support jim as all those damn caps gave me a damn headache
brownie Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I hadn't noticed that even the title of this thread has been changed Really unhappy with what's going on here! Since it's still a goodbye thread, I'm taking a few steps backward! Bye Bye and good luck to Organissimo!
Big Al Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) What, no one remembers Aric's famous bit of wisdom from this thread? GOOD NOW I KNOW WHAT TO LISTEN 2 WHEN IM FUCKING THE SHIT OUT OF HER EVERY NIGHT Can't believe people actually miss this guy and his so-called "knowledge." Good call on Jim's part, if it hasn't been said already. Edited March 17, 2005 by Big Al
