    To hell with you both!

    Oh, and by the way, to hell with PERB while I'm at it. This hellhole will _never_ be cleaned up. Deleting all links for Van SPs, agencies, PERB, and the rest. You want to live in a sewer slum, have fun! It's just not worth the aggravation to try and find any sanity on this board. Mods, feel...

    To hell with you both!

    Between HM, OpheliaBlack, Girl97, and the flaming TERB threads whose posting style were soclearly those of G97 to my eyes, my last say on the G97/HM crap is as follows: Rot in hell the both of you -- I don't give a rat's ass which of you is to blame for the accusations. I don't care who is...

    Howie insists he never stalked anyone, I don't know. The threads looked legit, the complaints looked legit, but the constant flame wars that G97 gets into here and that she got into at TERB do lend credence to his claim that her accusations were bogus and that the "PMs" she posted may have been...

    Re: The problem with this thread I thought about that, but I'll leave it up to the mods to make their own decision on it. I think the severe diversion of topic has provided an even better example of some of the problems on the board than the threads I'd originally mentioned as examples. For...

    Actually Girl97 had backed up her side of the story in this thread, but then had begun the same series of arguments over the HM issue. Either she or the mods deleted her comments to prevent the thread from turning into another off-topic flamefest. Removing her posts has apparently included...

    Don't misunderstand, 2C -- it's about the tone of posts and the board. The G97/HM nonesense was just a striking example, this thread is not about their argument. And should G97 opt to try and turn this into another thread about the HM issue, she should be booted as well. The issue is dead...

    Wheres My Foreskin?

    My aunt had my cousin clipped as a child to reduce the chance of infection. What's surprising is that she was a nurse, and even nurses a few decades ago didn't know that the higher infection rates were for jungle troops. There are still people out there who think it's necessary to have an...

    I'm really impressed I'm really impressed with how many posters have shown up to discuss the issue, and to do so without flaming each other. I think it's a sign of hope for the future tone of the board, and for the hobby itself. Had everyone been so fair and open all along, this whole thread...

    Re: I know I spend too much time on here when I wade into shiite like this! Check the board -- it covers all the west, not just Vancouver. I'm also far more likely to be visiting Van than the GTA a couple times a year. For the most part, I stick to the lounge, and just read reviews for...

    Yes, I followed those threads for about 2-3 days. As I said, G97 fanned the flames, but that does not alter HM's responsibility for his posts -- and there were several in those threads, though only a couple were clearly over the line. If it was a genuine error in phrasing, he could always come...

    Most of those threads are gone -- either G97, HM, or the mods deleted them. At their peak, HM was posting as a lunatic-fringe stalker. G97's posting style and narcissism fanned the flamage, but that doesn't alter the fact that HM was way, way out of line. Before I stopped reading those...

    Change? I've gotten some interesting PMs from people who wonder if I'm targetting them specifically, if I'd be interested in becoming a mod, etc. I thought it worthwhile to remind people of an old adage: "If in doubt, don't!" If you find yourself uncertain whether you might be one of the...

    Erikrauda and FranklyHuge have hit the issue squarely on the head -- it's not arguments or even the occasional brief flame-fest that is ruining the board. It's those who "gang up" to harass others, the threats, and the utter lack of respect for others that is a problem. Even Sonny's cursing...

    We are the community -- all of us. As long as we keep quiet about the rampant rude and nasty behavior and comments by the few, we are all responsible for the mess. It took a fair bit of reading and thinking, but G97 is right -- we've let the trash take over, and it's as much our fault for...

    After the recent flamage involving Girl97, and the unpleasant departure of Victoria Lee, I decided it was time to do some digging through the review archives. Guys, this site is a mess. The sheer volume of misogynistic posts, flamage, shill-screaming, useless reviews, accusations against the...
