    I agree^^there is no point on deleting old posts. Their done. I don't think it should change too much though:)I like it here. I just want it to be a bit more of an open minded forum.

    your boyfreind for 1
    and jnot goibng to get into the hhb mess since its finaly calmed down
    because i refused to respond for several days
    and it was not 1 post it was many many over yesars, a couple of mine did cross the line i admit that, but was purely in self deffence
    the thing u should know is he is always looking for a fight no matter where he posts or how he can get one
    havent u noticed that he hasnt been back since he hasnt been able to get his fight fix?
    he was here for 3 days and all hell broke loose
    he left and things got peaceful again till your boyfreind tried to stir things up again
    were you even aware of what he was posting on your account?

    Callie, I just realized you live in Roanoke. That's where my grandma lived. She's deceased now, but perhaps our grammies were friends? Ha. :)

    I swear, I'm not TRYING to be off topic.

    well, this is a little ot but if you wanna talk about it...

    my hunny might have a rather rough way of saying things. he doesnt care about your feelings and he didnt see any point in being less than blunt.
    im certainly not going to apologize for him, in fact i was right there reading what he posted and i wholeheartedly agree with everything he said.
    he does have fantastic dreads and zero negative effects from using wax.

    you certainly dont seem to have a problem slinging personal attacks (and thinly veiled insults) at anyone who uses or speaks out for wax, or any other "non-natural" method of dreading.

    you, soaring eagle have been the one inciting and maintaining most of the drama ive seen around here b/c you are intolerant of any method not endorsed by yourself.
    plus, ive seen maybe 3 posts that could be construed as personal attacks that did NOT come from you.
    the remaining 20-odd were strait out of your keyboard.

    thats bolded so you (hopefully) will not simply ignore it in the retort i know is coming :rolleyes:

    personal attack? fact.
    inciting drama? stating opinion.



    ps: sry luxie not directed at you, we both like your posts :)
    he just gets fed up with the resident dread guru and didnt see any reason to not state his opinion bluntly.

    it was way beyond blunt it was a flat out rude attack
    but whatever its over and done with and who really cares anyway?

    i can think of a couple times i had been out of line and i admitted it and appologized..everyone has bad days somet\imes
    but your accusations that i attack anyone who disagrees if flat out funny
    i will attempt to show them the error in theyre thinking if i think they are misinformed but i certainly do not try to be ins
    and the 2 times i realized i had been i diid apologize after

    your boyfreind came out swinging fromthe very 1st words and continued to get worse and worse with the attacks
    in case you diidnt notice i made only 1 reply..with a touch of sarcasm i admit, but it was just to the ingredients in lock peppa (which pretty much is expensive dirt)
    no personal attacks on him or you, i just coppied the wikopedia entries for each and every ingredient..that was all
    then went to bved i assukme the attacks wejnt on afterwardss and someone reported the post and that led to a new mod being appointed to end the stupidity?
    i dunno i havent looked at the thread since

    btw suck my dick is beyond blunt that is purely used to start a fight..there is no other reason anyone ever uses those words unless they are gay and trying to initiate something sexual (im not saying he was at all, im just saying that the only other reason those words are ever used is to try stiring up a fight)

    i have not ever been in a fight (physical fight) since i was maybe 14
    the only times id get involved was to deffend a freind in trouble then id take a hit or 2 and step out
    ive had my head stomped by skinheads and bikers a few times but wouldnt throw a punch out of fear of hurting someone
    but if im verbaly attacked i will stand up for myself..ofcourse i try hard to find a peaceful resolution when possibler and when not i ask to be left alone
    but if im being stabbed in the back while trying to walk away what do u expect me to do?

    we had peace here for just 1 day when your boyfreind decided to jump on in and destroy that peace

    abd i am more likely to deffend my freindfs then myself so when the peacefullness of the community is disturbed i will try to set things straight and end the bullshit

    and im glad ozzy is willing to delete all attempts to get fights started
    its the quickest way to end a fight
    and if you really must have your lil fight for whatever reason..do it in private..period
    theres no reason for it to mess up the site
    pm's are there so u can say any ol thing u want to anyone privately

    i suggest u use it

    I'm sorry but, "suck my dick"? Real mature. You've just lost all respect for yourself and your opinion.

    roanokes on the chesapeak right? used to sail there all the time, its quite a quant picturesque town..always seemed to be full of colorful charachters

    always seemed like a perfect place for a steven king novel..lol
    it just has that strange feel quant on the outside with evil lurkming in the shadows..lol
    (kidding biut the evil part..but its just 1 of those odd lil towns u could imagine had deep dark secrets (like the spawn odf satan being concidered a blessing..lol)

    Naaa SE...Roanoke is south western Va , in the mountains. I am about -4 hours south of the chesapeake. I have friends there though, it is a beautiful place. My maiden name is Willoughby, so I always thought Willoughbys Spit was named after my family when I was little, NOT.
    The only novel that could be written around here is maybe Deliverance II:D
    The Waltons was filmed somewhere around here if that helps...oh and Dirty Dancing, which sadly that lake (man made) is now dried up and the resort has gone under.

    First, as some of you have mentioned, Deleting old threads wont happen, never was. I was planning on gathering the information posted in past, that seems to be lost and giving it new life by creating a new thread and making it sticky so that no one has to search the 1000+ threads to find something. As mentioned, the search function sux. Remember this project is in planning and your input is going to help structure it, or knock it on the head. lol. I also agree with the post about too many stickies being annoying. this project could combine a few of the current stickies, thus creating less stickies.

    I would also like to point out that using stickies is the best alternative to making sub forums that would make searching the forums even more annoying.

    Now, onto the "free speach" topic. This IS a free speach forum and "free speach" will not be hindered. BUT, Abuse can not be left in the same class as "free speach" or it will be the undoing of the forum. e.g:

    free speach:"If you say... ....then every one would do it regardles of how dumb it is"

    Personal attack/Abuse: "Suck my dick"

    Am i the only one that sees the difference?

    Anyway, posts containing abuse will be Moded. END OF.

    peace.

    i do think the idea needs refinning and come up with the clearest solutions

    maybe if we just had a "methods" sticky with discussion of varois methods
    we already got a maintanance and deep cleanse wax removal stickly wich can be expanded and renames to include product and soap discussions (rename to, keeping dreads clean and wax free? maybe?)
    so then the only other thread wed need would be tams headgear beads and accessories
    (unless anyone thinks we should have more?)
    so perhaps the dreadlock truth can be expanded to include all methods (or unsticky it in exchange for a methods sticky)
    the wax threasd changesd to be all things clean
    the maintanance is fine as is
    then add a accessories and we are good
    if we do it that way we only add 1 sticky
    and swap or expand a couple others

    Well I'll put my two cents in. First thanks SE for helpin' me with my questions :)
    Second glad to see you get mod status Ozzy, don't really know you but from your posts an' such you seem like hell of a choice.
    And third. I noticed down in the Philopsophy and Religion area that the pagan threads are all like spread out. Such as there's something like a book of wicca that could be moved up into the regular pagan thread and several others. Same imo with the sanctuary area that is a hangout for christians i think it could be added to the basic christian part to save some space. Just some suggestions. Keep up the good work guys
