Jana | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:28 pm  Norwican, we never said we wouldn't be friends with you! This is the second thread that you have posted that on and I don't see why you assume that.....I personally am not going to hold grudges towards people on the boards depending on who they supported in the game! |
Norwican | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:31 pm  Because I am referred to as an "outsider" because I supported someone in a game. |
Zelda | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:31 pm  You have a right to feel in anyway you choose as do I ... I did not specifically name you. I have not seen any hateful posts from you attacking anyone... I thank you for that. I am saying that the were Vykin supporters that were obviously here for the game and the game only and would go to any lengths to make sure she won. I resent this because as a long time member, I put my heart and soul into this game... I just figured we (the players) were on the same playing field. I look forward to posting with you in the future. I hope you can at least put yourself in my shoes for a moment. |
Norwican | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:34 pm  Oops posted that one too fast. I'm glad you feel the way you do Jana and Adven too  |
Jana | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:35 pm  yeah Norwican, I think you guys are talking about two different things....she is talking about people that were Vykin's friends prior who's only reason to join the boards was for that reason....I don't think she is talking about people who are new here who just so happen to like Vykin.... I am not stating an opinion either way as I am done with game speculation myself...just trying to clarify. |
Zelda | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:38 pm  Thanks Jana... Yep, that's what I meant |
Norwican | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:40 pm  Zelda, thank you for responding. I will look forward to posting with also. I do understand how you feel. I just do not agree with the gross generalization of calling all of the people that supported Vykin in the game "outsiders". Please think of how I feel also. |
Norwican | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:42 pm  Just saw the posts Jana and Zelda... cleared it all up for me  |
Adven39 | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:42 pm  Thanks, Nor (see? I can call you "Nor" now). I think some people are feeling that they were taken in by Vykin and some of the people who came here with her - that their intentions weren't always honorable or above board. This doesn't mean that anyone who supports her isn't welcome or is suspect. I look forward to talking and bantering with you and just being a general pain in the a$$. |
Zelda | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:45 pm  I completely understand... I apologize if I gave you that feeling...I wasn't clear when I stated what I meant about supporters... doesn't matter who voted for who... It was the principle of bringing people to the site just for the game and the benifit of herself...I should have said the crew that was brought to the game only for the game... see I can see I am not being clear again ... it's what Jana said  |
Zelda | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:48 pm  Lets call Norwican... Norc. so there is no confussion. I wouldn't want her bashed for anything! |
Lafatme | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 01:52 pm  norwican, i'm sorry, i didn't mean you, and all the othe vyk supporters like you. i meant those who became "members" but never really became a part of this community. |
Norwican | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 02:04 pm  Thanks Laf. Zelda, you guys can call me whatever you'd like (within reason LOL). |
Admin | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 04:34 pm  Just so you know, I never called Optics a cancer. I said, and I quote: "They<TV ClubHouse members> may become disenchanted with the whole discussion board/internet community experience....I hope you understand why. This is not good for the TVClubHouse, as I try to promote the site as a place to find 'friends' and online companionship through discussions and communication. Your deception is like cancer to a good online community." If you people are going to pass around my personal emails to you, and quote from them, you should at least have the respect and decency to quote them properly..christ! |
Enbwife | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 04:36 pm  It's sooooo nice to see you guys getting along...  |
Lafatme | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 04:48 pm  sorry admin, one person seems to have had a problem not putting a personal "spin" on everything. it'll take a day or two to get back to normal. seriously though, thank you. this has probably been tougher on you guys than us. |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 06:33 pm  Unfortunately what I never see acknowledged is that this sort of thing is going to happen ALL the time, at one point or another. There are no boards immune to these kinds of things. There are NONE. It's part of online life that you have to expect and be ready to deal with. |
Lafatme | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 06:42 pm  ocean, this is the only board i've ever been on. forgive my being naive, you're probably right. |
Kearie | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 07:07 pm  (((TOM))) |
Karuuna | Thursday, November 02, 2000 - 07:41 pm  hehehe Ocean - I have a friend who plays the trombone, and who participates in a trombone players message board and listserv. If u think we have crazy flareups, you oughta be there when they start flaming each other over which mouth piece is THE correct one, if you're a REAL trombone player... It is a fact of life on the internet -- it's akin to the phenomenon that allows people to run others off the road when they're encased in their big safe anonymous SUV's. I like to call it information superhighway rage.  |
Wcv63 | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 08:04 am  Out of respect for the people that supported Vyk that I really LIKE (a lot) I have made a compromise with myself that although I will not say anything that could be construed as unkind about Vyk and her actions neither will I say anything good about her. I have effectively muzzled myself on the Vyk issue and can no longer be involved in Vyk discussions. <pout> I have to go find something else to play with dammit! |
