Subject: A word to all you spammers...

Ok, so I let it slide a little, but this is getting out of hand. Either you all stop spamming and sending messages the way you are, or else I'll have to take drastic measures to make sure it doesn't happen again. I didn't think that anything like this would happen on our forum, since I figured we were all mature enough to know when and when not to joke around, but I guess I was wrong.

Please, don't disapoint me any further.
Corey

I agree wholeheartedly with Corey,

What was a funny, nonsensical thread about pictures (with Rusty as Indert Comical Identity Here and me as Mr. Big) has turned nasty!

If you want to put on an anonymous ID to make people laugh, say like "the Sea Captain" and write "arrrrr" then you're doing Drama. If you're using hit & run tactics to anonymously attack someone else's character, then you're really just being mean, and enjoying causing somebody else pain. And, if that's true, then the number of pictures on this site are the least of your problems.

We've always been an open troupe. And, as its sponsor, I have always encouraged open dialogue with people that didn't agree with me - and who even openly opposed me. At a command opportunity to delete singularly unflattering posts from a former member, Jennifer, I gave my opinion and then told our troupe President that it was his choice whether or not to keep them on.

The fact is: this site is a labor of love. It's 100% volunteer time, unpaid, and largely unappreciated. And every one of us who wants to sit down, learn HTML, create content, fix links, and build graphics for fun has the same opportunity to.

Have an opinion? Say who you are, and we'll listen to you. We'll discuss anything with you, and the both of us might end up learning something.

Want to stay anonymous? Build your own site. Show how evenhanded you can be with taking pictures of a large group of people, where one member appears at 95%+ of all of the events, and another appears at under 5% of the events.

Want to keep posting cruel posts, that are really largely ignorant of the facts? Sorry, they're going to be deleted.


Sponsorly yours,
Mr. G

You'll have to excuse my friend "Winnie" for that nasty comment about the pictures. Feel free to kick Winnie off the board, though Winnie could always come back with another name... I don't think Winnie is smart enough to think that up. Anyway, can I ask what "Spamming" is? The only spam I know of is the food that Hawaiian people put a lot of in their meals...... especially with pinapple for some strange reason... Okay, so back to the point: Winnie is being a dumbo about the pics. By the way, they do look nice. (Bunch of muy photogenica people!)
