Community or snakepit?

[webrunner]

No.. just giving my opinion on the quality of the last two posts.
I didn't remove or change any words didn't i?

Ok then    

[Mookie]

i was thinking of the 9 yr old who has befriended me. 

Sox,

I hate to burst your bubble, but Mookie isn't really a 9 year old girl

WHOA! If that's what socksey thought, what does it mean that she keeps shouting about that she's waving her toes at me?  I shudder to think!

mookie, who will someday post a long and thoughtful note but who is currently lobbying webrunner for a "Name Shuggie's Sister" poll

[mano]

is some one can explain me what means STFU ?
(it's not a joke ! i understand it must be irreverent but, as polite french i don't know what does it mean !)
i guess the FU ... but ST ?

[burper]

shut the F up, i.e. be quiet
is it fe me la bush?

[webrunner]

fermé la bouche
or
ta geulle!

[diane]

Ferme la Bush being the current pun on that little saying

This is a great thread, and perhaps thats' why it has so been so popular. I think it is quite useful to 'get it all out in the open' here on fibsboard. Many nasty things are said on fibs, and I think this is the perfect place to resolve some of these issues. If you read back over this thread, you will see people starting out very nasty, but then gradually reaching some understanding and making light of the situation. I think this is healthy and will help FIBS.

  hey mano.... STFU= ferme ta gueule....va te faire sodomiser (version catholique).....ecrase... tu me fais ch...     et bien dáutres traductiond possibles... toutes plus outrageantes les unes ou les autres...

Am I Webbies Boss??? No, No, No, Adrian. But I still am flabbergasped cause of your questions last night.( posted below) I do feel you are a real die-hard-community-member wich i respect. But I, tend to see these virtual contacts i have during play, for what they are; virtual! Since 70% of our communication, in real life, is non-verbal. Here, we only have the typed words and typos to lead us. So after my own personal experiences with some of the finest bullies here on fibs, i try to just play and be freindly to my opp. No more, no less. Hope u can respect my choices.

I know some community-members like to have controle. Even on how players should 'act' here on fibs. I think thats normal for neurotic minds, not for anarchistic BG-players. Does fibs need a morality-police? There are several it seems and i can only hope there once will be as many as there are players online:)

Cheers

[diane]

I know, but I am sure he will tell if he wants    

[baldwin]

Well, thank u Diane for making my point; ofcourse U know. And it aint no big secret either. Just the way I was asked for it give me absolutely no reason to tell.

Actually Webbrunner kinda 'threw it in with the fibs-T-shirt' when I, while agoo, donated few euros for maintaining the server/board. Simple. I even had to ask what SM ment and hey, I liked the bar under my name.   Never used, or missused the extras that came with it so... It only brought me Adrians attention sofar lol.

Cheers foolks ^_^  

[diane]

To be fair, I think sometimes language issues come into play here - particularly with Adrian.  I have had some misunderstandings with him along the way - which later were completely resolved.  I think sometimes he doesnt quite come across as saying what he means.  Just an observation.  

Hope you can also resolve this one - I would bet he didnt mean anything by it....

[mrbond]

Never used, or missused the extras that came with it so... It only brought me Adrians attention sofar lol.

I am, pretty damn sure, baldwin isn't implying that there are any priviledges attached to being a "senior member"! Simple language issue has come into play here!!  

But if there are "extras" ........... where do I make the cash drop off??    

[baldwin]

.....mmmm Now you say,  guess there arent any 'extras' mrbond. Thought there was a start/remove topics one.... guess not. Never looked at it...  <_<

But you can always try leaving a well filled envelope under board #13  

cheers

[adrian]

As always, a language barrier  leads to slight misunderstadings. Hopefully no one got hurt. ( Think in romanian, write in english. Try it viceversa)
My appologies for any hurt feelings.

Adrian

Bye 2 all my friends

"Next Time"

Funny thing that webrunner....there always appears to be a "next time"..ever wondered why Netgammon is becoming more and more popular?

It's about time that the administrators in fibs stopped sitting on their hands and did something proactive regarding abusers of the site.

Still why let the facts ruin a good argument.........
