Why Can't This Board Attract New Members....

[blugiant]

No it isn't meant to be 'war' per se, but a section where...let's see how to word this...controversial topics can be discussed at will. By placing such topics in that particular section where one has to request access, the person's wanting to get in there know what they are getting into. The section will also hide the sniping, (even if it is perceived) from the general public. There, the general public doesn't see the members (us) as a bunch of people who always sniping about something. (example - racism) Like you, I will always defend somebody else opinion, even if I try to point out inconsistencies in their opinion. I even say, we will have to agree to disagree in some cases.

Aye, witchy beat me to it wid one bolded sentence. Cho.

Unbelievable that White tourists should think they have the right to dictate what can be discussed and where it should be discussed on a discussion board focusing on a country where the majority of people are Black. They don't want to have any reminders of the fact that Jamaicans at home and abroad face significant challenges. Heaven forbid that this should interfere with their enjoyment of what they apparently view as their personal playground and a place where they can search for wood and watah.

No, it's Xavier - and X-man only - who dictates who has what rights on Jamaicans.com.


I know Tropi has me on ignore but my point isn't for her, it's for the rest of J'com.

less cantentious. oww? speech ann discussions ar contentious by dem veree nature

didd yuh realized dat itt wass tropi tredd awl aff a sudden increased viewership pon yah? witchie tink pon diss mii poas ting dat affend sum peeps ann yet sum aff dem same peeps git along fine widd mii

No, best go back and re-read it again, blu.

I said that the point was to make j'com less contentious ... not that I think a war room will make j'coms less contentious.

The idea of a war room wasn't mine. Again, maybe you'd best go back a few pages and re-read. I never suggested it and I don't know that I even like the idea! And I certainly wonder if it's the right way to move... BUT the point is that it was never MY idea, not at any time!!

And I didn't make any specific statements (other than the last one, in jest) about you or any other single j'commer in particular. I did not call out any names (other than my last, in jest). :tae:

Take your fictitious re-writing of recent history right down the road. And, preferably get lost with it in the bush.

Blu, i have an honest question and please answer me (nebody weh frequent GD really can answer).
I am not big a GD particicpant. mi only deh yah so much bcus of the recent drama. is only wen contention up yah mi love up yah and generally soon as the drama ova mi go back go chill in the SB.

so, do u think its the topics ie, race, sexual orientation, politics etc that is causing the "problem" or is it really about personal beefs/vendettas. seems like everytime i come up here (during contention) its seems like ppl a cuss bout who a try mash up whofah life, who a suss in pms, who get who fired etc etc.....

it no seem to me dat dem really a discuss the topics as much as each other.


for instance, the post that sparked all this discussion, was due to Tropi's about the smaddy a news etc.

I'm not mising the point, blu. I 'get' that.

I also know that Xavier has a problem.

So are you saying to me that all of the Jamaicans here must not be disrespected BUT all tourists and all people who aren't 'persons of color' can certainly be disrespected and that's OK? And, btw, it's OK that Xavier himself can also be disrespected, too?

I'm not accusing you, I'm asking for clarification.

[WitchyOoman]

you know what, blu? Don't even bother to answer my question... not to me.

I get it, alright, now. Loud and clear. You finally got me to see Jamaican reason. Thank you.

There really can't be a board to suit all. OK. I get it now. Good-bye.

Xavier, it was nice knowing you. 'Bye.


Seems that the one who messaged me on FB was right after all...

I am not really familiar with Morgan Heritatge...only heard them when Emperah featured them.

Seeit deh.

so, do u think its the topics ie, race, sexual orientation, politics etc that is causing the "problem"

Nope

or is it really about personal beefs/vendettas.

...and attacks on here and off-line like when people call employers.

seems like everytime i come up here (during contention) its seems like ppl a cuss bout who a try mash up whofah life, who a suss in pms, who get who fired etc etc.....

it no seem to me dat dem really a discuss the topics as much as each other.
