hi to all who defended me on that other board.. i came home today to nine pm's, all defending me from the personal attacks on me, on another board.
i am still in shock, but i do appreciate the words of those who defended me.. one gal called me and told me she had five phone calls from others expressing shock over the way i was being maligned on the other board.. i am fine, and dealing with it.
i guess we all need to expect to be criticized.
Simon, why don't you just post that portion of the chat where Valis made the death threats, and it can be sorted for once and for all? He can't remember what was said, yet there was Simon, Angharad, Tinkerbell, Mac, Stinky Pantz, Rayzorblade and others who witnessed the incident.
I'm not making a big deal out of it, I simply used it as an example of SheilaM's irrational use of logic in her argument (trying to tar everyone on a website with the same brush).

Valis,
You said it whilst that fight was going on between Xenawarrior and Axtec in chat about a month ago. I'm not surprised that you don't remember saying it because I'm quite sure you were intoxicated at the time.
Unfortunately I did not save the chat transcript, I was too upset at the time to do so. If you want proof, maybe you can ask Simon or Ang to find it, since they were both in the chat room at the time you said these things.
There were others who saw what you said at the time too, so I am definitely not making this up!
just wanted to update you all on my sinus problem.
friday nov 7, i went back to my doctor he put me on a medicine to thin my mucous.
in thirty days if the problem persists he wants a cat scan done.
Actually, I've heard that a good sex work-out can help unblock your sinuses. I'm not joking.
Even if it doesn't, at least you'll have fun trying.
umm, we can't say.
but if you talk about it, you're breaking the law!.
talk about what?.
"wee-wee's"??? And you are calling Eman chicken??
my brother went to bethel as a teenager and was disfellowshipped and sent home.
he tried to toe the line and after 6 months the local congregation recommended reinstatement.
bethel didn't like that idea.
What a cool thread!!!
So happy for you Tim that you finally found your brother. You have sooooo much to catch up on.
Now excuse me, I have something in my eye....

Death threats??? I know that Valius can be pretty terse at the best of times, but he actually threatened your life?
Please provide a link if you can...
I find it very perplexing that you say that Valius is threatening your life, whereas you still stay on a board where this person is... that is the only real question that I have at this point. I would very much like to see proof of your accusation. I certainly do not condone that kind of activity, nor would Simon, I'm sure.
Yes, Valis said what I quoted, in chat, about a month ago. So there's nothing to link to, although it would still be in the chat transcripts. Simon and Ang were in the chat room at the same time as were many others who can vouch for what I am saying.
Why do I stay on the same board? Because I know there's no way Valis is capable of doing anything, plus why should I let idiots like that win?
Shamus, I know you don't condone that sort of thing, I was just using a hyperbole to show the lack of logic in SheliaM's rationale.
Apologies to Mulan for the hijacking of this thread. I won't say more in relation to SheliaM. If she wants to continue this discussion, she can continue it over at JWO since she is a registered member there.
please keep mulan, bigred and princess in your thoughts.
her mother was taken via ambulance to the hospital this morning.
paramedics spoke of possible stroke/ aneurism.
((((Mulan and family)))))

Many understood I have gotten e-mails and I thank them.
Ahh, the old "people agree with me so therefore I must be right" line of reasoning.
Lots of people agreed (still do) with Hitler too.
[SheilaM's "logic"] As for "guilty via association" - SheilaM is guilty of condoning making death threats on people. SheilaM condones telling people that if they had the bombs and anthrax on hand, they'd like to kill them. After all, one of Shelia's "friends" said that, someone she freely associates with, so therefore she's in agreement and condones such threats. Nice one Sheila. [/SheilaM's "logic"]
ok i rarely ask questions but hey i might as well do this too.
but to make life a lot easier for you i will put tham all in one thread when you first came here what did you expect?what were you looking for?did you find it and if so how?if you were looking for information how did you look for it - ask a question?
wander through the threads?
No worries Simon. So when are you bringing your family Down Under for a Aussie holiday?
*Simon wails "no more travelling" and hides inside the nearest suitcase*
Posters like Waiting and other "old-timers" (in terms of length of time on this board, not age) have likened the board to once being like a coffee-shop because that is what it used to be like. The same regulars, having polite chat and a laugh, with an intimacy that small places naturally develop.
Now the coffee shop has developed into a sprawling restaurant, catering for many different types of customers. Everyone demands attention, and they all have different needs. Some want to sit in the corner and have a quiet conversation over coffee. Others are ready to party. Most just want a meal with some cool music in the background, enjoying the company of their friends.
This place changes, evolves. Simon, as the restuarant proprietor, does his best to cater for those that come into his restaurant. Not every one is happy with the service. Some walk out in complaint. Others have been asked to leave. Simon tries to get a happy medium in order to not let things get out of control, so that the majority of people are able to enjoy the restaurant.
Maybe in a years' time Simon will turn this restaurant into a jazz bar. Or maybe back into a coffee shop again. Or maybe he will keep things the way they already are.

What snide digs? I honestly wasn't making any snide digs, sheesh!
Simon, you are in charge of this board, and you have implemented changes over the course of time as you see fit. Sometimes you've allowed things on this forum, other times you've not allowed them. You are in charge, so whatever you says goes. eg. A year or so ago you said that NO ONE was to discuss or even mention JWO on this site ever. Now it's the latest topic of discussion.
Backflip or change according to circumstances? I go for the latter.
This board changes, and part of the reason for those changes is because of what you allow on this board.
I know it's a time of turmoil at the moment, but no offense was intended, ok?
