What is the purpose of a discussion board?

[blugiant]

Blu, you still don't have your facts straight. If you are going to comment at least have the decency to ACTUALLY READ the entire thread to understand what the hell is going on.

No one went after Tropi. I did not even MAKE A COMMENT ON THAT THREAD except to say that I contacted the person in question to see if they wanted to explain their situation. THAT WAS IT! NO PERSONAL ATTACKS ON HER! NO PERSONAL ATTACKS ON ANYONE! NO NOTHING! IT'S A FIGMENT OF HER IMAGINATION!

AND TROPI WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON THAT MADE COMMENTS OR FELT THAT THE STORY(Woman attacked with machete) WASN'T KOSHER

SHE IS THE ONLY ONE OVER REACTING, ACTUALLY SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH A COMPLAINT

READING HER RESPONSES, ONE WOULD BELIEVE THAT SHE IS THE ONLY INVOLVED, BUT SHE IS NOT

SHE IS A DRAMA QUEEN...Its really that simple.

lonwolf itt intarestinn dat peeps keep seyinn mii doan ave da fact. wen da realitee iss dat mii poas dat storee wan sundae mawninn beefore x-man again poas da same tore latah ann mi awlso made camment pon itt. maddaratars neva merge da two storee so dat y oonnoo tink mii doan ave mii fact traight?

realitee iss dat deer were inconsistencees inn da ooman storee weddar itt cah oyinbo media ommited sum aff wat shi sed ar dat da traumatized ooman versian aff happen is based pon ar ovatandinn wat appen and itt was natt totally accurate. dat y mii xxplained wan defenition aff mzungu, peeps woo doan ovatand dem locateshan. plus mii sed peeps a yawd kno fe be pon da alert.

now mii issue widd yuh iss dat yuh carry news to da traumatized ooman so dat shi cood camment pon peeps pon yah opinions woo qwestian ar versian. yuh dissagreed ann wass affended bye peeps pon yah so yuh look upp da ooman so shi cood do wat yuh natt able fe do. restrict peep pon yah fe poas canflictinn opinions dat affend yur senseebillitees. dat like likkle yuths woo tryinn fe egg addar peeps on by seyinn didd yuh ear wat shi sed bout yuh ann wat ar yuh goinn to take dat. mii see wen yuths do dat ann sumthyme wen mii chatt to da yuths ann parents dem defense iss dat dem natt respansible iff dat led to addar peeps fightinn ar ill will. again mii will tell yuh wan aff da meaninn aff mzungu iss peeps woo doan ovatand de kultural locateshan. a latt aff jamaica ave issues widd infarmars(news carrier). wat yuh didd iss wat sum jamaicans sing bout wen yuh ear infarmer (news carrier)songs.

even dough yu may natt ave directlee targitted tropi yuh shood see y shi as a jamaican too affense to wat yu didd. drama qween argument iss weak cah dat bout attackinn da persan natt de argument dem raisinn

do yuh kno y sum aff us qwestian da ooman versian? sum ave uss myself included ave see cutlass attakk beefore. as a yuth, mi saw wan rapist cut a ooman widd imm cutlass wen shi tarted fe screeem. mii ann friends tarted fe stone ann chased da rapist untill more peeps jined inn ann administered da communitee tandards fore dem tunn da rapist ova to babylon. guess yuh doan tink sum aff uss see peeps widd cutlass chasinn peeps ann sharpeninn dem cutlass pon street at da same thyme.

....and some people have to push their "huff and puff" agenda. Perhaps in some limited circles you are a major player who needs to be allowed to elbow and belittle others but that my Blue Friend is what the "textbook example aff wat (sic)" is all about. Playing ruff ain't being ruff. Hard to bow when you stoop to low.

Why drag the woman into the discussion at all just to make mischief and spark a confrontation? What a petty and vindictive thing to do. Then people wonder why membership is not growing here. Attacks and vindictive behaviour have been going on for years. Hardly a safe of welcoming environment.

She chose not to come and chat, that's fine. But at least she was given a chance to do so.

Had she come, she might have given some other insight into her story... but now we'll never know. (not saying that fault lies with anybody here, just that it's a lost opportunity - but at least the decision was Ms Cassidy's)

I thought it was a place where people could gather and safely discuss issues and topics of interest anonymously...like a water cooler, a gathering place. Why are people:

You should be ashamed to start a Post with such a heading.
You are the number one person that will go off the Board for references.
You might have quit that practice, but it something I know for a fact you have engaged in.
I am not saying it right or wrong. I am just saying.
In an case I tried my best to avoid this Post but there is a convergence.
As one of the religious zealots that made life unbearable for some in the religious forum again you should be ashamed at questioning the lack of ability to Discuss on this Board.
It wasn't two weeks into your time here when there were rumours of lawsuits and locking down the whole Board. I remember well.

Is this true?

Will smaddy other than TG please confirm (or deny) the veracity of TG's statement for me?
(no offence, TG - but you've already made your statement, so no point in asking you to repeat yourself, that's all )




I've been a member here for a very loooong time (since, 1999 IIRC ... maybe '98?) - far longer than many people in this thread, but I don't remember this...

Never even ONCE have I done this. You are quite mistaken.

I rarely post in Faith and Reason anymore and I haven't posted much in there in the last 6 or 7 years so I am not sure what you are talking about.

First I am hearing about this. I do think you have me confused with someone else.
