Noslonna | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 03:12 pm  I thought you claimed to be her friend? I would not attack a friend even if I was violently opposed their actions or words. I would agree to disagree or if I felt strongly enough, I would go my seperate way. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON. GOODBYE. |
Tukuul | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 03:28 pm  Hmmmm...yet Wendy/Xenia said she wasn't being fake. If she wasn't being fake, how can they not be the same person? How is that Noslonna? I read her charming webpage and I read her postings in The Game. Will the REAL Wendy please stand up...please stand up...please stand up? |
Petunia | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 03:49 pm  >Perhaps now she will learn to treat others as she would like to be treated herself. Unless your point is that you'd like an alleged friend to ride your ass unrelentingly over a stupid internet game, I'd suggest you heed your own advice - you're starting to sound like a vindictive shrew. Wendy, when you're up to it, please join us in members' chat - we'd all love to hang out with you. |
Nikkid | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 05:04 pm  I couldn't add anything more to this thread then what is already here. I'm still a xen/wendy supporter and hope she finds her way back. As for the "Thread Police" etc... I wrote Gail a "not very nice" thread - BUT MADE SURE TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE WELCOME BACK THREAD. The game for her is over, she owes no more answers then she has given. I can live with it, as can the rest of us. Good god - it is JUST A GAME!! We post our little hearts out for the people who are still in it, but when they are out - it's over. Gail has done nothing wrong to any of us, as Wendy has not. Some of you folks posting to this thread are just being malicious! You are also the same people who tell me or someone else to get a life, and "it's just a game!" while the players are still in, and you disagree with my or someone elses view points. I suggest you do the same. |
Norequerdo | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 05:10 pm  As someone you all know who doesnt shy from making critical observations, I do think the welcome back folders should be left alone. If you want to criticize someone its easy enough to open up another folder. |
Guruchaz | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 05:17 pm  Yeah....welcome back you two-faced witch. |
Spamgirl | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 05:59 pm  Gee, Guru! I've missed you the past few days! LOL You're just reading, so innocently... when all of a sudden you're jerked out of your complaicency by...

Lafatme | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 07:44 pm  jana, i agree that the line is being pushed further each day, except that i think it's being pushed in the opposite direction as you. people are "offended" that the atlanta baseball team is called the BRAVES, same with redaskins, indians, etc. i'm too tired to make a list now but i think you know what i mean. words, and names, are now becoming politically incorrect to the point where the listeners think it's up to them to assign the meaning or intent, instead of the speaker. accepted language does not need protection, it's the unacceptable that needs first amendment support. many people have experienced the opposite: someone says "i love you" but ACTS indifferent or hateful. you can't make the words the issue, it's the actions that determine the intent. there were no actions in this game, only words. i'm done with this issue. you can have the final word. we'll probably just have to agree to disagree. |
Vasix | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 08:34 pm  lafatme: I am native american descent and I assure you I find the name "Redskins" as racist, offensive and patently absurd that you should come to this land, wipe almost all of us out and then name a football team a derogatory name like that. As an example of being over sensitive to words I can't believe you chose a racial slur. Ouch. I think you are right, we have gone overboard on somestuff but I think racial epithets can safely be relegated to our history and not the sweatshirts of young Americans. |
Vasix | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 08:48 pm  Oh and sorry about violating the thread theme. Next time I see a thread that says: Minorities are overly sensitive to having racial epithets as sportsteams names Post, Ill post to that. Right now I'm gonna watch some football. I notice the NY Jets decided not to go with The NY Dagos and the Miami team chose Dolphins over the Miami Wetbacks. Gee, maybe they are just too political correct in those burgs. |
Digilady | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 10:15 pm  VAS: According to Laf: "atlanta baseball team is called the BRAVES" This is offensive?? PC yuppie swine! LOL Jana: just saw your post about saying I had an abortion. If you chose, you could, in the Game, say I have a pen!s, breasts, nose-hair. And tell me that you're after my lily-white bod with a baseball bat (preferably not the Braves, though.) It would roll off my back. Most anything said to =me= here will do same. This is a public forum. If you're that sensitive to "name calling" and "violence", I'd avoid any place where free speech is advocated. Oh, and for the "rape" analogy: BTDT. OK? All I saw was humor there. The "abuse" thing threw a flag for me at first, until I reminded myself that "This is a game she is playing". One thing that turned me off was the visual of licking out a toilet bowl! |
Noslonna | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 11:37 pm  Digi licks toilet bowls |
Lafatme | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 01:32 am  vasix, i'm irish but i have better things to worry about than notre dames nickname. if you choose to be offended, fine. but it IS your CHOICE. personally i have better things to do than look under rocks for some little thing i can use to shout about being a victim of someone's insensitivity or bias. i don't CHOOSE to take offense. you have a right to, if you wish. |
Vasix | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 06:23 am  Laftme: I went to Notre Dame. The only thing that offended me there was the winter! |
Digilady | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 06:44 am  Lol NOS! Too late. Once grossed out, I come around! |
Norwican | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 10:10 am  I went to Marquette University and our team name was the "Warriors" with a mascot supposedly dressed up like an American-Indian. His name was Willy Wampum and he even did a little "pow-wow dance" to try to jinx the other team when they were shooting free throws (it was awful). Anyway, several years ago they decided (finally) to change the name to the Golden Eagles. There was a huge uproar about the proposed name change from many alumni (mainly white, upper class, male... Wow, I made my point with out having to finish the sentence)! |
Nikkid | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 10:17 am  Hmmm... My High School had a mascot. BRHS Warrior. In Bethel - It is a Yupik Warrior, as a goodly population here are Yupiks ... They are proud of it. A warrior has always been strong and brave, I guess it's your perception. |
Jana | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 10:21 am  "I thought you claimed to be her friend?" we were friendly with each other...i barely know her through the internet? how could she be my friend? and that was before she started acting up! "Unless your point is that you'd like an alleged friend to ride your ass unrelentingly over a stupid internet game" I'm not "riding her ass"...I'm riding ya'll ass for some of the ridiculous posts! alright i too am tired of this thread.....i'm not even going to read it anymore, because it just pisses me off..... |
Sugarlover | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 01:08 pm  Uh, I can see both sides to this. But the way I look at "The Game" is it's all acting. I mean if I was in there myself I would make up stories abt myself and just have fun. Maybe Wendy went a just a tad overboard but to me, Xenia was a "character" and nothing more. We wanted entertainment, didn't we? We got it from Xenia, that's for sure. It's kinda boring in there right now, if you ask me. I think the real Wendy is not really Xenia. She was just having some fun, I guess. I would never bash other players the way Xenia did but I would stir things up somehow. Gotta have drama! |
Noslonna | Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 01:23 pm  Sugarlover, can you please be in The Game 2? |
Sugarlover | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:34 am  LOL! I'd love it, Nos. I would have applied for the first one but I was just about to take a week's vacation so I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. If they have a sequel to this, I'll be sure to apply. |
Noslonna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 02:48 pm  I did not apply for the first one and I sure as heck wouldn't apply for a second one. Sure would love a second one though. |

Affinity | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:40 pm  what a horrible song! |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:45 pm  at least THAT is something we can ALL agree on! |
