Where have all the guru's gone?

[Pat Kelly]

"deja vu all over again"

I remember the same thing happening on the XS11 yahoo site. There was a split that led to XS11Plus2 yahoo site (is it still around?).

The more things change, the more they stay the same

You know, I was able to get on, and registered there, and I like most of the guys on there, and I think I'll miss them on here, but frankly I'm not sure I'm enthused at all about how their "freedom of speech" is being used over there. Frankly if I'm in with a crowd and people start talking like that, I drift over somewhere else.

I didn't notice they were gone. Come to think of it it's been peaceful around here lately. "There is some good in everyone, some people just don't know how to let it out"

Wise words...

Almost a full day later and still no verification email; even tried resend -- can't logon and can't talk to a mod' about it without logging on. <laughing>

I'll try a different handle and email address; forumer.com may be on my ISPs local block list or a RBL.

Hey....ever wonder where some of the Midwesterners went? They were banned from this site...They all started a new site XS11.org

Wonder what happened....

It took me until now to realize that you were actually telling the truth! I thought you were joking or guessing! I was able to read the threads on that new site without registering. Looks like a lot of resentment going on over there though... I think I'll stay here...

Your Mom spoke wise words..

[Geezer]

If they're unhappy, it's they're right to go but I only have enough time and energy to read just so many forums or it'll get in the way of work...

My Mom always said don't talk religion or politics with strangers and some of use are stranger than others...

Geezer

I just retried the link to the site, I can now view it. My apologies if it was a problem with my confuzer, if not and it was just opened to view...well...it's open to view now...

[Guy_b_g]

Freedom of speech is alive and well...over there...dont be surprised if this thread is canned and you're banned...if y'all try to lurk..it wont work..LOL you gotta have the intestinal fortitiude to register.

I do not know the back story here...fair or unfair...good, bad or ugly...as to what happened to get certain members here banned. Therefore I can express no opinion on that.

I did go to the site just to see what it's all about...and was not able to read a single post without registering.

Hmmm...freedom of speech....OK...if you say so....but I can't look at the speech you speak of without registering and thereby submitting myself to your rules as to what that "freedom" may be. I don't think so... I don't join anything with my eyes closed...I don't even belong to facebook because I value my privacy.

Good luck fellas, I wish you well.

I looked over at the other site out of curiousity. Nothing flashy but then its still new. I dont know what went on with all those guys and I am glad of that. But, it would take a long time to catch up to the level of information that is here at Channel 11. Besides, as long as my machine is still one of those at the top of the page, I kind of have to stay.

Durante was great, by the way. Few people can pull of the old 'kicked the bucket' routine like he did in Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

I had to look it up!

Funny...

Those that anger you control you. Let them steep in their own **** and move on. All this wasted energy is boring me.

Goodnight Mrs. Calabash.

I dunno, Randy.

I read some of the site but no one there seems to know what happened, either, so they made a new site with cool rules of their own so they wouldn't be bogus, too but -- British English? WTH?

I tried to sign up but received no confirmation e-mail. Maybe it's Manuel Starte' and the signup mod is asleep ... too many people used/abused the Guest posting privilege so it's not possible to post as a guest at this time.

Like they said, I was being a d**k. If someone gets annoyed when they get called out for hijacking a thread, I can live with that.
