View Full Version : Vote me off the Island

Okey Doke. Here's your chance boy's.
One vote per person. I'm sure as much as I am loved, many of my devotees would want to vote briskly and often but....that just ain't fair.
I have this "troll" reputation because I disagree with the tightie rightie's emphatically and often. They want me to leave this little slice of heaven 'cuz I upset their vision of linear thought and and patent acceptance of all tripe shoveled by the current administration.
There are approximately a hundred prolific posters who essentially maintain the consistency of the bb's here. A majority (even a slim one) will be adhered to by me. I don't wish to upset the entire board but I'm extremely guilty of loving to upset the brain trust of Hot Boat Forums you know as... the "tightie rightie's".
Vote me off. A simple goodbye or hook ass will suffice. Elaborating the reason for your vote might be fun to read. (Someone help mediocre Dad with the big words.) Love to all and vote your heart. Remember... a "majority" represents all posters in this forum and not just the think tank who sends their charity checks to the Drudge Report instead of UNICEF.
Try not to let my rugged good looks sway your vote.

I don’t like to advocate banning someone but you need to tone down your “act” a little.

Its not your opinion that us tighty righties don’t like but the constant fork in the eye directed at individuals that’s offensive.

Post in the open Mrs Vee. We all have to stand behind our decisions. My feelings won't be hurt. I fully expect some of you to support a few in the brain trust because you are IRL friends. Such is life. I realistically understand I will be voted off btw, so it's not like you will have to deal with me at a later date or under a different nick.

They whine incessantly about me leaving (which I love) but I'm not out to ruin it for everybody or anything sinister. I usually stay on my own threads or sometimes wander off to another political one I either disagree with or that is implicit bait to incite a response from me. Every rare once in awhile there is a topic I might find interesting and respond to but for the most part...I just like yanking their collective chains. It's not my decision. I would go only if the majority of posters here think I somehow ruin the experience for them. I am who I am and will not compromise that to "fit in." Toning it down or only talking about boating (which I do all weekend every weekend) is not part of the equation. That would just bore me to tears and I'd leave due to ennui. (Which could happen I guess? But we're a long way from that.)

Froggystyle
08-09-2004, 04:06 PM
The only thing people get "voted off" for is disrespect. Usually to our women.
I think you will find that the populous here is more concerned with an appropriate response to legitimate questions, or at the least a non-derisive attitude towards our community.
Whether or not your ideas and stance holds merit is not the question. It is that every time you post, it seems to be a derogatory statement towards the incumbent administration, and those who support it.
Being contrary is just in bad taste. Being contrary on occasion is good for everyone, all the time just renders any argument you have ineffective because of a troll moniker assigned by everyone.
Not that you care, but I would try to contribute more to the HBF than the current non stop political diatribe you currently feature on the menu. I don't care that you are left wing, and I don't care that we have some pretty serious right wingers on here too. I am equally frustrated by both.
I still haven't figured you out. You seem too smart to actually believe the stuff you are saying, and while I want you to stay and provide a moderating factor to the pretty far right leaning forums, I also don't want politics to be the main source of discussion around here. We have more important things to do.
I don't think segregating the political threads would hurt much either. If it killed your board, you were probably offering little else, which is what I pretty much expect is going on.
So far, you are a one-trick pony. Learn another couple will ya?

LP has never been disrespectful that ive seen, and i actually enjoy (seriously or comically) his reads. I hope he stays, and maybe we can open a politcal arena???
good debate is entertaining, the mudslinging sucks

You might have a good argument if I spammed other threads with political rhetoric. My topics and political angst might bother you but like someone else said...there's a zillion other posters...why read mine? There are many posters I do not read. Even political ones. I just find their style (or lack thereof) stifling and boring so I just...skip them. I assure you that there are posters who look for my threads just so they can kick my ass (metaphorically speaking) on a particular subject. It might get a little nasty sometimes but, why do you read it? Boating is merely our common ground. Limiting topics to what only YOU find interesting is just silly. There's tons of inane posts to choose from. Find something mindless and limited to posting kissy-faced emoticons and set up your tent there?

08-09-2004, 04:20 PM
I say hang around if you want. Who cares? If I get tired of your worthless diatribes I can just put you on ignore. Besides this is a boating community, a community is kinda of the same thing as a village. So if you left we would be losing our village idiot. And we all know that space doesn't like a vacuum. If you leave then another idiot would just step up to replace you.

Lake Pirate
08-09-2004, 04:24 PM
Another point that should be made regarding dividing the forums is that:
Forums are like a nightclub. You go where the crowd is. At first a political forum would kick ass, but as people realized they were only speaking to the same one or two hypocrites they'd just abandon it. By having it in an open forum posters who are normally not political see a subject that they feel they need to opine about and the debate has balance and is not just all shitslinging. A pure political board would just be war threads and the losers would drift away and the winners would end up talking to themselves. A nightclub is better with people in it. Divide the fat from the skinny and the smokers from the non smokers and the sexy from the drab and I assure you...there won't be a nightclub for long after that.

LP, I would vote to keep you. I'm serious. I wish there were more people like you who were able to come here and have a discussion, sometimes even heated, without turning into a total a-wipe. :) Summerlove does it just fine too.
This goes for both sides of the isle. Everyone gets so caught up in the "my team" mentallity that we've forgotten that we're all on the same team but we just have different opinions. That's what makes us free. If we could manage to mantain a degree of respect while engaged in political discussion I think you would see more folks getting involved.

Personally I think you're a piece of whale poo but that goes for a few others also, and they may very well feel the same about me so be it. But this is my lil piece of escapism I have here from the real world, you know the place that sucks out there, and you are the a hole who drags it in. If you would post one cocktail recipe or one gel coat tip or even scribble down a few lines about the last piece of ass you got it would dramatically change my opinion (however incidental it may be ) of you. No I don't want you leave, I want you to leave certain shit outside, it's a forum and the topic is boating and all that comes with it, don't know about you but when I am at Havasu the last thing on my mind is politics. I pay those peolple to do a job, just like my gardener or the people that dry clean my clothes, I pay them to do a job, when they screw up I fire them or vote them out other then that were cool just do what you are paid to do. I want them to be as insignificant a thought as possible, there are plenty of other things to worry about. I need a beer. And you never answered my question about the gas stain in my gelcoat.

I say stay. I never trust a place where everyone thinks the same. I also get a kick out of peoples' replies to you, as they are rarely respectful in any way. The thing I really dislike on these boards is when people hijack or disrespect. But it doesn't happen too often, and I can always go to another thread. I notice that you can usually send people into a tizzy as you casually push their buttons, that's fun to watch.
I rarely agree with your opinions, occasionally I can figure out where you are coming from.

If you can't make a point, or give an opinion without slinging mud and insults or stereotypical name calling...... then I would think you would be happier where you could at least respect the people, whatever their slant was, I don't usually read your posts anymore due to the ONE way only pattern so I don't really care what you end up doing, I enjoy a good argument when both sides listen to what the other is saying, you don't listen.
You know Manuel, I don't think I have ever used the term "troll" on LP... could be mistaken but I don't think so. I think the problem is he is exactly what says we all are, just from the opposite viewpoint. He thinks we all march in step to der fuhrer... We think he marches to the whacktivist left... So we are either both right, or both wrong... but it is in absolute terms.
What endears him to most of us is his attitude of superiority... just like the friggin french. I HAVE said he is arrogant several times, and I have also ceded a point or two... very few however. Regardless, the "I am soooooo much smarter than you tighty righties" crap is what makes us all loathe seeing another post from him. And then those that send back short barbs tend to support his viewpoint...
I think we should have a political forum here, (don't give me that friggin don't click if you're scared crap) because it will keep the thoughts separate, just like hot boats, v drives, jets, tow vehicles, etc.
So... while I made a smartass remark earlier in this post, if the loonie leftie could harness his superiority complex... I have no problem with him. Other than the fact that he is always WRONG! LOL<--------------Dr. E.............at it again!

That was funny. Nice work.
Since we are writing I thought it might be a good time to use words? No?
Should I learn from Darwinian dads monosyllabic grunts? Fire bad. Fire hurt. Me angry. How's that?

When you act like a troll are you hanging out under a bridge? :devil:
Troll--An individual who regularly posts specious arguments, flames,or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand--they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures after which they are named, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the Net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll."
Trolls, of course, exploit something all newbies have in common:the desperate desire to fit in with their new community.
Regular net users know how delightful it is when somebody responds to something they have written. It is a meeting of the minds, which is an intellectual thrill, but it is also an acknowledgement of one's value — and that can be a very satisfying emotional reward.
Trolls crave attention, and they care not whether it is positive or negative. They see the Internet as a mirror into which they can gaze in narcissistic rapture.
If you want a deeper analysis than that, perhaps a psychologist can shed some additional light on the matter.

He's not 12...but he doesn't have the chops to be trying to use the words he does. It's like a toy poodle trying to eat a side of beef. He has a hold of it, but it's more than he can handle.

You know those phones that have those pre-entered phrases to use when tex-messaging people? That is what his posts remind me of............prefabricated responses and sometimes he doesn't choose the right one! :rolleyes:

You can talk a good game, but alas you must not be able to follow through with actionable ideas or deeds. This must piss you off as we pass you by in our "hot boats' and you on your aluminim skiff.

Like I said, it must be late in "your neck of the woods" perhaps you should call it a night and attack HB tomorrow? :D

And the Gilligan retort was a comical gem? Yep...you boys are in dire need of satirical aid. Damn good thing I'll be sticking around to walk you through the finer points of battle. You're right about one thing though...I gotta go nighty night. If my mom let's me on her computer tomorrow I'll see you after my chores.

I Love this guy, we need to ask him more questions as to the meaning of life and the whys and whats of why are we here, he has all the wit, education, is politically correct at all times, and has an answer for everything. We have a human search engine right here and we don't use him.
I am so sorry that i got on your case Mr. Pirate, i should feel small in your presence and yet my inner sense tells me no way is there any reason for that.
But like an accident as you drive by it's the curiosity that keeps you looking i have to ask myself why do i keep looking at threads with your name in them, why why why . Tell me LP am i just an idiot for even trying to show you another side to any argument? Mike VG

Don't leave, that would just prove you are a panzy. You are obviously an attention wh ore (demonstrated by this thread), and this thread almost qualifys for the Forum Suicide Forum.
So what if you're a pinko commie bastard who won't take responsibility for your failures, atleast you don't have authority figure problems like AzCommie - that dude needs to go see a psychologist and tell him about his father!!!
You are a troll, especially with that dumb ass racist thread about affirmative action boating - that was the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen, and you need to accept that you need help getting over your guilt of being whitey.
I mean that in the best possible way. :D

Bravo :cool: :p i Can't say thank you enough for that, this whole thing with this guy is getting old but i still get sucked in, gotta use the ignore system, i'm tired of the rant then the childish retorts start and we go nowhere . It's gotten old i give the guy his props for apparently knowing his stuff as he sees it, but to just attack and be attacked is getting old too. Moly you put in perspective for me thanks. Mike VG

Let's get one thing straight. I do not think I'm smart. I do not think I'm superior. I do not think I'm right all the time.
Yes you do. I think you should stay though. It's no fun when everyone agrees.

Okey Doke. Here's your chance boy's.
One vote per person. I'm sure as much as I am loved, many of my devotees would want to vote briskly and often but....that just ain't fair.
I have this "troll" reputation because I disagree with the tightie rightie's emphatically and often. They want me to leave this little slice of heaven 'cuz I upset their vision of linear thought and and patent acceptance of all tripe shoveled by the current administration.
There are approximately a hundred prolific posters who essentially maintain the consistency of the bb's here. A majority (even a slim one) will be adhered to by me. I don't wish to upset the entire board but I'm extremely guilty of loving to upset the brain trust of Hot Boat Forums you know as... the "tightie rightie's".
Vote me off. A simple goodbye or hook ass will suffice. Elaborating the reason for your vote might be fun to read. (Someone help mediocre Dad with the big words.) Love to all and vote your heart. Remember... a "majority" represents all posters in this forum and not just the think tank who sends their charity checks to the Drudge Report instead of UNICEF.
Try not to let my rugged good looks sway your vote.
I like political debate and there is no point to it, if there is not at least 2 sides. :cool:
However, little less whining and posturing as the poor intellectual, who is misunderstood by the ignorant villagers might be in order. :rolleyes:

In the teams we had a saying... "If you are the only one right, you are wrong."
Now, I am not saying I apply this all the time, but it seemed funny in context... ;)

Exactly what I was saying... well put. In a way it is too bad he is gone, in another, notice that the tone on HB seems a little "kinder and gentler"?
