Stop carrying water for your moronic friend. It makes you look bad by association.

I told Slave that I make myself look bad, it has nothing to do with association. With that said, I really do think those who fled the other board and came over here (and who post or lurk) should pony up some money. I have (though not a lot). You should too. Stop being a cheap bunch of fucks. Y'all waste money all the time on crap...at least waste in on the crap you use instead of the breadmaker in your closet you never use.
We still get money from Amazon don't we?

Bulgaria has a women's beach volleyball team too:



I propose a Beach Volleyball Channel on cable.

Sorry NotBob, perhaps I didn't make my point clear. I come to this board for entertainment. I have contributed in the past, though not very much and too long ago, because I was entertained by the board. I do not find it entertaining to be the subject of arbitrary abuse of admin "power," making it unlikely for me to contribute in the future, absent a change in current circumstances.

You and Penske violated the TOS and were then fairly and appropriately warned not to post any further "deletion" posts.

Nothing more, nothing less.

If you consider your own failure to adhere to the TOS as "blatant Admin abuse", then perhaps I would suggest you would feel more comfortable with the liberal TOS over at www.infirmation.com.

If not, then please refrain from such posts in the future and continue contributing here.

I'd do the one on the right. The one on the left looks a little flabby.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.

Real concerns were raised yesterday regarding the edit of a Politics post. Thereafter, several regular posters threatened to leave this Board.

False "deleted by Admins" posts serve only to spread confusion amongst the posting community, as posters begin to question the motives of the Admins and the censorship policy of the Board.

These types of posts clearly violate the TOS and in the future will not be tolerated.
That's fine. My point is, you should have posted something like this first.

And one more thing. Further proof Slave is a narcissist and a moron. He accuses sunny of carrying water when all she did was point out that he has no business identifying who has not contributed. She points out his (one of many) fuck ups and somehow that is her carrying water for me. I dont think so. He owes me an apology as well for saying that and sunny an apology for bullying her. Gross. I cant believe I slept with that hairless, spineless child. I feel like Michael Jackson but without the orgasm.
So you are Paigow????

beach volleyball sexploitation controversy



A team of bikini-clad dancers from the Canary Islands is entertaining fans but offending some female beach volleyball players. Wearing bright orange outfits during the day and shiny silver ones at night, the sun- bronzed dancers race onto the sand between points and matches, gyrating to blaring techno-pop. At least one women's team isn't amused. "It's kind of disrespectful to the female players," said Australia's Nicole Sanderson. "I'm sure the male spectators love it, but I find it a little bit offensive." Kerri Pottharst, Sanderson's partner, said mixing in some male dancers would have made it OK. "Equality, equality!" she said. The fans, however, seem satisfied. Norman Brown brought his three sons to the Olympics from England. They came to the beach Tuesday after watching Britain play field hockey. When they spotted the dancers, they quickly grabbed four front-row seats. "We'll come again," Brown said as he videotaped them. Yvonne Anderson, of Edinburgh, Scotland, said the team adds to the beach-party atmosphere, but she also would have liked to see some male dancers. "It's all just a bit of fun," she said.

From the SF Chronicle


Very controversial. OTOH, if y'all would rather keep talking about the administration of the board, I could just take this sort of thing over to the PB.

TOS violation my ass. As Ty pointed out, posts actually altered are tagged at the bottom of the post. Our posts were satire directed at you and are not "impersonations" of admins any more than my knock knock joke example. You didn't like being the target of the satire and lack the wit or inclination to stand up for yourself, so you found the closest TOS violation you could find and hid behind your admin shield. Then you try to shift the subject to user donations. Despicable.

I hate to point out the obvious, but Shape Shifter is not an admin so he couldnt consider his behavior admin abuse. I do however think he considers your behaviour addmin abuse and that its a totality of the circumstance, not just your wounded pride busting out the rule book on his ass last night for mocking your prior deletion of his post. That prior deletion was the biggest offense as I am sure he will agree. Howeve,r there have been others. Last night's was mostly just an embarrassment for you. Howev,er your inability to admit you have done wrong ever and your lying about what you have done is where the abuse is. Its like, so George W Bush.

I give the admins until 5pm east coast time to decide what actions they are going to take to redress your many abuses.

Oh, and don't change the subject. It may have worked on bunny but it waint working on us. Thats just a weak ass tactic that makes you look even guiltier.

Coltrane's night job

So, FBetties, there's a new show in Chi-Town:

Quote:
Conservative critics have managed to get the touring comedy show "Puppetry of the Penis" banned in Boston, but they've struck out in Chicago.

Chicago police are declining to shut down the return engagement of the show, which bills itself as "the ancient Australian art of genital origami," opening today at the Lakeshore Theater, 3175 N. Broadway. Before audiences filled mostly with wide-eyed young women, two male performers manipulate their private parts into a variety of shapes.
Well, duh. Doubtful many guys would see this as material for a first date.

Yes. An excellent post hoc rationalization for inexcusable actions.
