I think I will interject here if I may.
1. It strikes me as being deliberately provocative, not to say just plain tacky, for bonnuss to have continued to post here once the new porch was organized. If it was truly her intention to avoid being the continued subject of "unfair abuse", she could easily have moved to a different neighborhood and made a fresh start. I believe she posts here primarily to keep the conflict going and to keep herself "in the news". I don't see how it can be construed as anything else.
The only one I see attempting to "keep the conflict going" and provocative is yourself by digging a bunch of old posts and in the same breath saying that you are an "outsider looking in".
For starters, the fact that what appears to me "a bunch of members of a cult" escaped to greener pastures --with veto to limit speech-- (i.e. moderated forum) tells me that they simply "could not take the heat" and ran.
2. I believe the same holds true, to a lesser degree, to a growing number of the other regular posters here. They are here, to all appearances, to "show" Voltaire and the rest of the other porch. That seems genuinely antagonistic, and it's highly disingenuous for any of them to claim they are being bullied by anyone when they are virtually camping out on his front yard and thumbing their noses at him daily.
He's only human. Eventually he or one of his friends will say "enough!", and respond.
Rubbish.
This is a public forum and so anyone is free to come here and speak as by the header of this thread it claims that:
This thread is now available for unrestricted use, regardless of topic or agenda.
Most of the regulars on Voltaire's Porch have moved to a new site, which is maintained, consistent with the original charter, as a safe house where friends of Voltaire can meet to discuss any topic that tickles their fancy. You can find the moderated Voltaire's Porch at:
Subject 36800
see here:
Subject 29324
So your claim holds no water.
As to "thumbing noses"
HO HO HO HO HO...
Please look in the mirror !
3. I have read extensively on the new porch, and I have read here. There is simply no comparison in terms of the thrust of the two boards, and recently the contrast has grown even starker. Bonnuss is only an issue on the new porch to the extent that she is able to continue to attract attention to herself. Otherwise, there is almost no discussion of her (or of this porch) at all...only an occasional reference. There is a huge amount of other content and opinion. This porch, on the other hand, is virtually obsessed with the new one. People even seem to posting here lately in order to compete for congratulations on who can go over the other porch and incite the biggest response, or stick the sharpest jab.
More of the same...
The only one I see "obsessed" is you. How else could I see someone who comes and posts a series of old dug out material that frankly they ar rather irrelevant... given the new charter of this and the NEW VP.
Further, it looks to me as wine made with sour grapes with tinges and scent of vendetta
Criticize and blame Voltaire or other members of the new porch all you like (Poet, I mean "you" rhetorically), but as long as you do so from this board, you are implicitly saying: "We want this conflict to continue, we want to keep it alive. And if we can finally irritate you enough into responding, then we have proven how truly vile you are and how guiltless, we."
You know... I am beginning to suspect your nose must be growing like Pinochio's
First, what's wrong in calling a lunatic someone who claims angels are giving him "Stock advice", with faith being the other guiding light.
To me he rather sounds as the "Prince of Darkness leading a mob of equally --"dark suckers" -GGGG-
The only "vile" actions even evil actions I can see are yours. Actually nearly bordering as hypocrite.
My personal opinion is that it would be show far more class and constructive purpose to create your own board rather than simply continuing to ride on the coattails of someone else's accomplishment.
Nah, they left... so the regulars here seem to have executed a flawless "coupe d'etat" You know like the lawyers are trying to do with the United Bananas of America.
As for class... I think the last one that should be speaking about class is yourself.
Again, I find it highly suspect for you to come and post a bunch of old grave yard stuff and then claim in a high horse that the posters here lack class !
That in itself goes to show your boarding house past !
And those are my thoughts simply as an outsider looking in.
Yeah well... and I am Wonder Woman with 38 C --all granola natural--
Have a nice life. |
