I must say that everyone was really respectful and professional towards each other while I was away, until the last few days though.

Let's see.

Someone advocated using pirated software and Justified the use to his usual slanted views of the world.

Someone created a Gonnabefamous bashing thread.

Someone incited a riot over the futility of selling specs, so why bother.

And quite a few people picked on other, shall I say challenged, members.

Someone flat out told Gonna not to bother commenting on a thread, when ignoring it would have been far more effective.

Oh and Vig is back, (or has he been lurking among us all this time?) I know and I'm not telling. Be good Vig, or you lose your twentieth screen name.

Of course, those threads that are just plain wrong to post here have been deleted and let this be a warning to those who we're involved to please keep this board respectful, otherwise you will be asked to join the donedeal boards and spread your joy there versus here.

But, overall great job everyone.

Sorry Preyer. I was deleting the pirating software philosophy posts from it and when I am in that administrator mode it goes away for a few mintues. It's back and back on topic.

nice vacation?

well, normally i don't want any kind of censorship but, some notgonnabefamous people just make me want to second guess my opinion for more than one reason: cut & paste on every single post, responding to each individual post with an entire new post when one post will do, slamming the industry b/c he's figured out he doesn't have what it takes and taking it out on everybody, spitting on posts that he has absolutely nothing to add in the way of constructive criticism or any useful information whatsoever.

there, i said it.
that's my opinion and i'm sticking to it!!!

If you're at work and the same problem arised and after mentioning the problem to the person and he/she doesn't change, would you...

a) Go to your boss and make a greivance?

b) Get together with the other workers and make fun of him in front of and behind his back?

Here we go for choice b) but it should be a).

PM me and if other people feel the same, I will take care of it.

Welcome back Joe!

I know it looks like we had a party...but the broken lamps...the beer cans...and the few comatose bodies...it was all caused by a big gang of theives who took over the forum and stole our screen names. I think they got wind of you coming back, got scared, and ran away. :)

We're all good now. Hope your vacation was fun and relaxing!

Steph

Wait, so Vig is GonnabeFamous?

I'm not going to "out" vig, as he'll do it himself sooner or later with an "insert foot in mouth" moment. Actually he's being very low key (for a change), but I detected a hint of his old self a few days ago. Let's see if he can stay good. To date he holds the record for banning with 16 of his persona booted off the island-- 7 in one day.

Who's this VIG guy everyone keeps talking about? LoL, sounds like some kind of mythological unbannable creature.

:Lecture: Hi Joe:

Glad U R back! I'm sure the shore was great! Was in Jersey area before I moved to Louisiana.

OK the cats can play. The mice can play, but everyone needs to write, write, write. And well you know how it goes, after that rewrite, rewrite, rewrite.
