My Art thread

[Gurn Blanston]

No you did not, though Nigel did leave when he was told you had decided to leave. Rob placed some restrictions on the way you could post and after a short time you decided you would rather not be here. You joined the new site; no one had any restrictions on them at that point.

I even recall your leavetaking, it excoriated everyone on the site and claimed no one was worth conversing with.

I am certain of what I am saying, I am also sure you are not trying it on; but have simply forgotten the circumstances. Rob has virtually never banned anyone.

Mike

This is the way I remember the whole affair also. I thought it was a sad day for the entire project when this all took place. In any case, to the best of my knowledge the only poster who ever got outright banned was Herman, and that after he dared Rob to do it! (I saw the message he sent. Banning was too good for him). In any case, let's let all this crap, er, poop float off downstream where it belongs and get back to music. IIRC, that's what we came here for.

You are right, this is a virtual world and it contains virtual lives. This sprawling dysfunctional family that bites and squabbles is not reality. I am thankful for that, big time.

Mike

Well, I'm glad my virtual "uncle" Mike recommended that Barber recording a ways back.

(English) Michel also had that pleasure IIRC.

You are right, I was "on parole" once and also deleted my account once or twice, but I also got actually banned once, early last year, a few months before the new forum was started and everyone was "amnestied". I just can't remember right now what it was that I got banned for (it did have something to do with the poop man, but I don't recall the exact circumstances right now, and it's not that important anyway - but it was pretty funny). It was something along the lines of Dr Poop posting something like "does music have this or that effect on us?" and I said something like "some music does, but yours doesn't" and that was it - the next time I logged on, the account was gone.

Yep Lethe, you are right, Michel/Paul....who is doing fine. I am in regular contact with him. He drops in now and again; as Rob in effect lifted bannings when he started the new site. There was also a very lively guy who only posted because he was banned for three months somewhere he really preferred to post.
He stuck us with a whole lot of porn including one which Gurn and I make each other shudder with by referring to, 'Man with Fish'.
After that incident, Rob ensured the Mods could delete from the areas of the site that he previously had retained sole rights over. He had been 'away' when the fishy stuff was posted, which meant it sat there and was considerably added to for a couple of days. I don't recall the guy's name, but Rob certainly banned him.

Mike

[knight66]

Well, M, as you say, it is not vital just now, but none of the Mods recall it. Mind you Michel is a friend of mine, and I clear forgot he got banned....more than once.

Mike

Man with fish? 

[knight66]

M, Believe me, you don't want to know....Gurn and I can bring out the sweats of horror on each other with the merest allusion to it. Gurn knew what kind of fish it was, he knows that kind of arcane stuff.

There was yards of the most inventive stuff from this guy. I recall Lis tracked back the URLs and discovered it was all from a site where payment has to be made to gain access. Gurn and I were too much in shock to have thought of tracing the stuff.

He and I are still in therapy, Lis is made of sterner stuff.

Stick 'Man with Fish' into Google images and this is the first result:



Is that called Piscieroticism or somesuch thing?

[knight66]

The fish was much smaller....and the man was nothing to write home about either. The image you posted Luke did not even make me flinch!

Did you have your "Safe Search" on?

[lukeottevanger]

Why, what did you find? 

[Wanderer]

I'd much rather see alternate turns of crappy, funny and artful exchanges of visual insults here than anthropo-ichthyo-erotica.
Actual art would be too much to ask at this point.  

[knight66]

Tasos, Sorry for the diversion. But to be completely honest, the title was a misnomer from the word go.

Mike

[mn dave]

Why, what did you find? 

Oh, nothing. I was just asking.

[Wanderer]

...the title was a misnomer from the word go.

...not to mention the quite immodest capital A in said title.

[mn dave]

Perhaps it should have been titled differently? 

[(poco) Sforzando]

Perhaps it should have been titled differently? 

Aye. If it's "My Fart thread," the connection to poop is justified.

[greg]

On the subject of poop, anyone remember my Flying Poopy Monkey?

this thread is too funny....... so great to read this stuff after a 9-hour day (when i'm supposed to be part-time) dealing with lazy stupid customers and people trying to steal stuff.
