Rants and Raves

This thread has been opened for the ones that need a place to unload. If you have an issue with a Poster a Thread or a Mod this would be a good place to address it and keep the other threads from being taken off topic for too long a peroid.

I hope everyone will take advantage of it. Thanks

The great thing about these public forums is the obvious fact that sooner or later ALL threads get taken " off-thread"


Hell, I wouldn't have it any other way!

 

That's fine Thud,
But not to make fun or to harm another.

 

Hi Shameless Heifer.How u been doing??.

hi everyone, i am new to the boards and have no complaints. but i do want to rant about a website that i wrote on for over a year. it is a site for a reggae/rock/funk protest group. this website was so very cool and i had made many friends there. then this crank head druggie came on and messed with everyone, mainly me. there was no monitor for the boards so this creep just got away with his shit. everytime someone would make a post he would post irrational and angry and no sense posts. i took a stand and stood up to him on the boards, and then he started really harassing me. i sent many e-mails to the bands managment company, they were supposed to be monitering the boards, but didn't. then this creep starts following me onto other websites. finally i had enough and left the site i loved so much. the other thing that happened is members of the forums started attacking one another, mainly me. i wasn't the enemy, what really pissed me off is this creep is still writing on the boards and controlling everyone with his drugged out and angry posts. it really hurt me and i miss the boards it was such a gentle place before. finally the administrator of the boards wrote to me and said they were afraid he would hack the boards or attack a member of the band, so their hands were tied. it made me feel hopeless and helpless just like with our commander in chief and all of his control of the country. i am a protestor of the 60's and have always stood up for my rights, i felt i had no rights on this so-called peaceful fourm and website. thanks for letting me rant. feels better. i do like these boards, they are much better and there are monitors and i appreciate that.

i am happy i found my way to hip forums too, it's cool to talk with other hippies from the 60's and 70's and young hippies of todays generation.

hippiewise, I didn't see this post before but I know just how you feel. I go to a few music and related type boards where things have deteriorated, due to abnormal personalities like you describe. and it's too sad. My theme for today (depressingly) has been "mean people suck" and I am just thankful for all the good people of the world who don't suck. I am usually positive about things, but today was a tough one for some reason. Glad for all you good people here, and everywhere.

 

How perfectly awful.

 

I've got no gripe, I've seen a few folks get booted off this forum for being out of line, predatory, and anti-social, and that's a good thing, yet there's a great deal of freedom, provided you follow the rules and respect your fellow man (and woman). It's great to be able to express yourself openly, I just wish more folks would provide a little more substance and content in their posts, I like to read stuff that moves me, y'know? Like Voided's account of the hanging for example, pretty disturbing, but it makes you think...

 

Steve, I'm glad you left it there, it's a powerful read, though I can understand your reluctance to share something so personal (and I suspect that's the root of this issue I speak of regarding content, the more personal info you reveal, the more likely it is your cover will be blown and your identity will be revealed--is that what it's coming to?).

The key is to withold the names to protect the innocent (and the guilty).

Damn but that's a frightening account of where racism, hatred, and narrow-mindedness can lead ignorant men...all I can say is the perps will eventually have a higher power to reckon with...

 

To voided37-- No, to be perfectly honest, I'm not all right. I'm hung-over sick, depressed as hell unless I'm drunk and generally unhappy, but... What The Hell!... at least I'm alive (I think). Living alone for the last 16 years is getting to me. (A shit load of cats doesn't qualify as company.)

 

Thudly, though your post wasn't directed at me I'm sorry to hear it, yet I can relate, been there...

...saw your Abbie Hoffman post BTW, interesting that you knew "the pieman" personally, small world...

 

get a dog(and don't shoot it this time)

 

Gate 68-- What's with this shooting my dog shit? My last dog got smashed on the road. The only dog I ever shot was my beagle Lindsay who got eviscerated by either coyotes or wild dogs and was suffering terribly. Well, I shot my mom's dog but it was 19 years old, blind, deaf and incontinent. Those were mercy killings, no different than a vet's needle and faster and just as painless.

No, I quit getting dogs; if I can't leave them run free once in awhile without getting run over or have the idiot yuppie neighbors raise hell, then fuck it.

I do have a week-end girlfriend but she ain't too bright. She does work hard, though. She's a regular beaver on the woodpile! (A regular mink in bed, but that's neither here nor there.)

Most of my old friends are dead and I'm basically anti-social, so I may as well accept my karma: loneliness till I die.

 

Thudly, stop feeling sorry for yourself, what ever condition you are in you are in control of it. There are many who face worst hardship then you do and keep a smile in their hearts, you draw to you what you want.You have the power to change your circumstance. Blaming life for what you did to yourself is not a balanced comprehention. You have more to offer us and yourself then that dear.
I know there is joy in you somewhere. let it out and it will grow.
