Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Ahh, and so the cycle of abuse continues..
The abuser apologizes and makes promises to change. Things seem great. Then the tension builds and erupts into another episode of abuse. He apologizes again. The tension builds...

And so it goes.

(My tongue-in-cheek allegory)
New Do we need a bouncer?
Really.
Flames is wide open.
Kind of like a rough bar, but you can't get physically hurt.
So do we need a gatekeeper to keep the fragile out?
I tend not to post in response to things that annoy me, no point in it, unless I am playing. And I don't typically play with fragile people. Usually. We'll see.

But this seems you've appointed yourself as someone's guardian, that someone insists in putting herself in danger of being commented upon (oh the horrors), and then you feel the need to castigate the people doing the commenting.

Hey ADMIN!!! I KNOW!!!
Let's setup a page that allows bionerd to choose what forums the rest of us are allowed to read and post in. That'll fix everything!!

Brenda's a big girl. Somewhat flaky, somewhat on the edge, but an adult. Who lives with her very protective husband (who I suspect reads these posts and then determines what she is allowed to see, but I'll never know).

While I was initially incredibly annoyed with her every utterance, I gotta admit, she's grown on me. She has some inner strength that is tough to find in this world.

Unless you are willing to drive out there, get a court order to become her guardian, lock her in a room and limit her access, you have NO say in what things she sees. So it then seems you think you can limit it on the other side, by attempting to clamp down on the posters here.

What, are you appealing to to Randy's sense of (uhh, hmmm) chivalry?.
HA!
Not gonna happen.
If he has it, he reserves it for those he feel are deserving.
Note: That word comes from a time that women were chattel. Something tells me it has outlived its usefulness.

So anyway, in closing, since this is the flame forum: FUCK OFF!
New Sorry, Bio-babe, but the BRoom is right: Fuck off!
New Hey! They're flam'n Bio, 'The sweetheart of IWeThey'.
Truly nothing is sacred here :).

New Male sweetheart?
I just can't get my head around a married man being the 'sweetheart' of a male dominated board. Either this is referring to an incident that happened before I joined or I've inadvertantly configured my browser to not show pink. I hope someone enlightens me before the image in my head drives me nuts.

New Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
(Darlin, these are quotes from the movie "Airplane", cleverly related to the topic of tea bagging.)

But like you, I dont know why Chris is a "sweetheart". If there was indeed a tea gagging incident, ummm.. whose "bags" were used? This person should be the real sweetheart, if you ask me.
New Ever see, 'The Beiderbecke Tapes' ??
[link|http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092629/| The Beiderbecke Tapes]

A quite less noxious treatment of [WTF this thread is subliminally 'about'-?-] done by excellent actors, also real-English-speaking ones -- from '87 ~ before the universal insanity gripped the large mass of worldwide consumers/locusts and before the corporations were so visibly toxic and irredeemable, to boot. (ie somewhat before 'homogenization' became a noticeable Main Corporate Goal?)

Was on a PBS station out here, so dunno how widely this small series was shown. Now that I see it's in 'movie' format, it might just qualify for one of my rare actual purchases. The plot is even fun+engaging .. but the characters both hilarious and Believable, except that no one is On all That much of the time... Barbara Flynn is or should be - a Brit National treasure, were I elected Titles-bestower.

Anyway - a Nice antidote to the utter unwatchability of The 00's Action Movie and the other 97.5% dreck recycled for cel-fone chattering audiences du jour. There's a scene when they finally get down to acknowledging the Expected - which is the point of this exercise. It's also ~ a measure of what's been lost, since the pabulum of computer-generated 'mirth' killed-off mirth.

Bon appetit.

New maybe I spent too much time around strippers
tea-bag was slouch for tback where a string wih a pouch sufficient to cover the mons was called a teabag. Getting tea-bagged was having the mons pressed appropriately to shivering dollar bills clenched between teeth. The box method of making paper airplanes of 10's and 20's and launching them on stage made box a much more appreciated patron of the arts and got a lot more backstage passes. The false accusation of kidnapping was by disgruntled patrons in ft nelson bc kanader because we took the only 2 strippers south with us in a snorcaine run to edmonton. The rcmp agreed that a contract to strip for 2 weeks could be shortened by other plans,

New Nah, no bouncer needed here
Kind of like a rough bar, but you can't get physically hurt.


I used to play piano in a band in real "rough bars", I know what to expect. ;)

But this seems you've appointed yourself as someone's guardian, that someone insists in putting herself in danger of being commented upon (oh the horrors), and then you feel the need to castigate the people doing the commenting.


Which is sweet of Laura, but I didn't ask her to do that. Besides, I rather think she's "protecting" all victims of abuse, not just me. She seems rather passionate about the topic, and with good reason, I would imagine.

Brenda's a big girl. Somewhat flaky, somewhat on the edge, but an adult. Who lives with her very protective husband (who I suspect reads these posts and then determines what she is allowed to see, but I'll never know).


Sure you'll know, I'll tell you. John rarely ever reads in here unless a) I ask him, or b) he glances over my shoulder while reading the paper when I make a comment about a post. He doesn't tell me what I can read or where I can go other than registering on certain sites for privacy protection purposes. Once I'm there, I'm on my own unless I ask his help. And ironically, for once, I didn't ask his opinion when I recently posted both in FQ and WC. I did it on my own, no input from him. He hasn't even read it all, just parts.

So he isn't as over-protective as you all make him out to be, I just look to him for guidance in matters of computers because he is more savvy than I in those areas. If he were protective in the way IWT sees him, he would be smothering, and he definitely isn't that.

While I was initially incredibly annoyed with her every utterance, I gotta admit, she's grown on me. She has some inner strength that is tough to find in this world.


Thanks, it was tough to achieve too, took a lot of bad experiences before I learned many lessons the hard way.

Unless you are willing to drive out there, get a court order to become her guardian, lock her in a room and limit her access, you have NO say in what things she sees. So it then seems you think you can limit it on the other side, by attempting to clamp down on the posters here.


But you know what the nice thing about FQ is? You can post in it, and say what you want, and then if the flames get too hot for you you can.... LEAVE it alone and not respond.... isn't that great? That means if I really can't handle it, I can treat it like Politics and Religion. ;) You can also, (as I did above when RA posted, choose not to respond to start with to someone's flaming diatribe).

So Laura, it's ok. I'm ok, too. Well, maybe not as ok right now as I could be, given recent circumstances in real life, but I can handle IWT even on a bad day. So defend the right of the abused if you like, but you don't have to fight my battles for me...even when I'm a little more fragile than usual. It's appreciated, but not necessary.

And when they piss me off enough, I too know how to tell them...."FUCK OFF!" ;)
(I just don't do it very often!)
