You're welcome, Moonbeam. As you know, I've been in your position. Just don't let 'em get to you. It just ain't worth it! ;D

It's a generic 'em, P.I. There are several who seem to get a kick out of following others around trying to get a response to taunting. There are others who whine to the moderators, or administrator, every time they get their wee feelings hurt. Then, there are those who just gripe publicly, over, and over, and over, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. For a board administrator, it really does get irritating, at times. I know exactly where Moonbeam is coming from. Running a board takes a lot of time, a lot of energy, and a skin like a rhino.

Ok but in my humble opinion when you let anything or anybody get to you on this message board then it is time to get away for a few days, and one of the best pieces of advice came from my old bud LongSam who said "learn to ignore idiots and that will drive them up a wall or even better be nice to them which they can't handle." |

yes, i cuss.. i have a very foul mouth.. but typically, i try to keep it to when i'm trying to make a point, and i don't use them against people...only the topic.
Just to make sure.....I wasn't pointing to you when I said that. It was my round about way of saying that some people don't see when they are going overboard & are hypersensitive about things that others say.
Wish that I could give you a suggestion to help with the stress but I'm kind of a meat & potatoes type person. When people really get on my nerves I just squeeze their neck until they're eyes bug out & they leave me alone after that. My wife is one of those that just takes it & takes it. Drives me crazy that she puts up with stuff when she doesn't have to.

I ignore them myself, P.I. However, you and I aren't the ones being bombarded by PMs, emails, and the like with complaints, gripes, foul language, name-calling and whining. That would be Moonbeam. You and I can ignore, or walk away. As the Administrator of the boards, she can't. That's what makes the difference. |

You dont have much luck with that do you? You attacked me when I said that some people are having a hard time because the economy is hard even though that person did not make terrible choices before. You call me a business hater, when the only business I have ever criticized were paying out huge bonuses when the company was losing money, or getting the money for bonuses from the govt. You're one of the reasons I dont post on YM. You dont argue facts and you insult. And you lie about what I say and what I post. I am not a business hater, you are the business hater if you want govt to come in and pick and choose the business winners. I am the business supporter, the capitalism believer becasue I want govt out of business. um....this quote came from moonbeam. |

Hey Moonbeam sorry I have been really busy trying to answer all the emails and PMs regarding this thread...and after a discussion with others; we recomend you raise your asking price to not less than $7856.38 for the MSN Money Board refugees and should that for any reason be an issue have Mr Shibby PM contact me at my email address: USMCret@hotmail.com and I will try to explain why only $7856.38 is a steal at that price.. You might want to bring in an attorney on this negotiation. I know a good one...  Moonbeam, before accepting an offer, please allow the Conservatives here to put in a hostile bid. Between Burns, P.I., Ed, Henry, and myself, (maybe a couple of others, too)we could probably come up with $58 or so plus some loose change, and old cough drops, for the takeover. I assure you it would be at least one penny more than Deminmaine, Tennesseer, Dezi, Steff,and Warsaw could scrape together.  |

Moonbeam, in all seriousness, what would a political board be, if we did not have some members with short fuses? It is politics! If we cannot be more vocal and passionate than members of the EE Board, we should not bother being here.  |

If we cannot be more vocal and passionate than members of the EE Board, we should not bother being here. I haven't seen Moonbeam say anything about people with short fuses. What she has said is the name-calling, personal attacks, and general nastiness are unnecessary. I don't care whether someone has a short fuse, or not. We're adults here and should be able to control ourselves with regard to what we say to, and about others. |

I assure you they can be off color, and boistrious, and full of name calling and personal attacks, and that is with people who like each other and are on the same side. You don't think Bill and Hilary were colorful behind the scenes when Senator Obama was cleaning her clock? |

Attention unhappy postersI have not found any unhappy posters here for the past 24 Hours via PMs, and I have asked several folks " Are You Happy?" And most said" What's it to you?? or "Who are you to be asking such personal questions?" " Why do you want to know for" or " None of your dam business and get off my back with those silly questions".. "Why?? Are you writing a book?So I would say "Unhappy"...? I don't see it but maybe just a bit frustrated or not having a good day for the past 24 hours or who knows?? I did my best with this unscientific survey and don't think I will volunteer for that task again Moonbeam..maybe somebody else should do that and not yours truly.. just saying..

Moonbeam, have you considered the sum of it's parts might be worth more than the sum total? We will up our offer to $88.67 and whatever pocketchange we have in our pockets at the day of closing, and only ask for the Politics and the Markets Board. You can retain everything else. You would also hold us here under the Refugee board, and under extreme circumstances, could still come in and smite us if necessary. That should not be a problem, as we would ban just about everyone but, maybe Dezi, so we would all be happy campers here. We will also offer to become Mods at any problem board you may still have and remove any remaining liberals who might haunt them. This offer will expire Monday noon, Daylight savings time Chicago time, unless you have a counter offer for us  |

Public hick, hick ally Intoxicated??.. i knew Publically Intoxicated and he was a friend of mine and believe me I am no Publically Intoxicated..
It is Private Investor aka USMCret...and the ret= retired and NOT retarded btw in case you were wondering Air Dale in the Morning..
Now watch all the Seagulls fly in and eat our lunches again Ratchets and crap all over us, and then fly back to the EE Board with joy to behold..
A few years ago I posted my old orders that had me reporting back on active duty and changed the dates to make it look official, so the members all threw me a going away party a few days after 01 April...but when everyone found out it was a hoax I was banned for a few weeks just for spite..

Oh gawd, she's using the "lady with the whip" emote too. Don't mess with her Private Investigator! You don't want none of that at your age man... Hell 42 isn't exactly elderly...didn't you get the memo?? But calling a gentleman a @@@hole first thing in the AM before a second cup of Starbucks will get one's attention...  |

Just hang around...soon he'll call you elderly.... Nothing wrong with being elderly when you consider the alternatives..Ma'am.. Interesting.... P.I. keeps editing his posts... It's not me it is my guardian Angel in the Morning.. edits> Maybe he keeps forgetting what he was going to say? That's a sign of the elderly, yes?? I can't remember... It's a sign of being having your fingers do the talking before your Old and tired brain can catch up...part to the aging process I think?? |
