I still can't make pictures appear without having to click on them. I am an idiot. I think I'll use this space to just practice.

your picture here

Nope that didn't work.

[trisherina]

Okay, post a URL that points to an image between those image tags, and it will!!!

[craig johnston]

what about uploading pix?
while we're on the subject.

:confused:

I can't make the %$#(&*?! picture appear in the message box like everybody else does. Trish was kind enough to explain it, but I am 2 stoopid

[craig johnston]

that's cos you're trying to upload a picture.
i have never worked out how you do that,
but you can link to a picture on another site
in the way i've described by pm.
;)

[trisherina]

Brynn: put the part that starts with http:// in between the tags, and away you go!!

CJ: When you do a "Post Reply" you will see a Manage Attachments button at the bottom that will allow you to upload various types of files (incl. jpegs) attached to your message.

[Brynn]

Okay, post a URL that points to an image between those image tags, and it will!!!

ahh - didn't see you there, Trish! Let's just try anything, seeing as how this is the thread that it is.

Trisherina: full of a variety of helpful wisdom!!

[craig johnston]

d'oh! it doesn't come out as a pic!

[trisherina]

It worked, Brynn! :cool:

CJ, you might want to sign up with a place like flickr.com. They will allow you to host images there, which you can in turn link to via URL (though I am not sure if it will allow you to upload and link to animated gifs like that one).

[craig johnston]

well if i'm really desperate i have my own webspace. but it doesn't make
much sense that we can upload pics that aren't then visible. i could
understand an upload ban to save storage space.
oh well, no problem really.

just when you thought you'd seen the last of him......


http://www.br-online.de/bayern-heute/thema/moshammer/foto/index-mosi.jpg

That's sad how the guy got killed and very strange:
On the morning of January 14 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_14), 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005), at 9 AM, his personal driver found him dead in his mansion in Grünwald (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gr%FCnwald&action=edit), a suburb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburb) south of Munich. According to first reports of the public prosecutors, Moshammer had been murdered with a black telephone cable. The cable was found near the dead body. Daisy was found alive in the living room of his mansion.
The Munich police gave a press conference at noon on Sunday, January 16 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_16), reporting that a 25 year-old Iraqi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq) asylum seeker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asylum_seeker), who had been tracked down through a DNA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA) database, had admitted murdering Moshammer. It has been alleged that Moshammer had refused to pay 2000 Euro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro) to the man, who was in financial difficulties, in return for homosexual (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual) favors.

:D Okay, this is the next step.
Now let's just get into a very exclusive conversation in which no one else is welcome about a topic that no one can stomach - religion always works nicely, for instance.
Deviate will be a problem, of course, because he's been invested since 2003 and will employ a very effective campaign of random remarks and images. That means we'll really have to get aggressive and start posting lengthy tracts about the Jehovah's Witness organization.

Then of course, there's good ol' Craig. Nothing fazes him. He will be checking in. The only way to deal with that is for each of us to post continually around the clock. We can go in shifts, and might possibly be able to block any other attempts to post here. I can quit my job, and I'm sure you can find somebody nice to settle down and support you as well.

Let's see. Since it's 6:43 where I am, so I'll do my best for the next hour. We are going out to eat after that at a new Thai restaurant that just opened down the block, so I'm afraid that you will need to stay here for the rest of the evening. I can pick it up when I get back.
Start stocking up on no doze. We will kill this thread. You've gotta believe.
I feel confident that if we keep this up for the next two years, victory will be OURS!~!

^^^^for every single one of the posts yesterday,
ROTFL
:D
But seriously now, let's talk about me.
I did not write the following poem.
Nor have I read it.
I am posting an excerpt of it here simply because of it's purported length. As they say, "A small poem is a painting. A long poem is a mural."
I painted a mural once. It's painted over now. I don't really blame them. I only did it because I was unemployed at the time and had some time on my hands, but painting a mural turned out to be a lot harder than I thought.

The Gardens of Flora Baum
by Julia Budenz
Excerpts from the five-book poem in progress (now over 1,000 pages in length)

(From the conclusion of Book Two, "Towards a Greek Garden," of The Gardens of Flora Baum.
First lines of quoted sections (selected by Joyce Wilson):
* "Boots are pulled on"
* "Florida, said Flora, is the land of flowers"
* "Then Circe said: It’s time for you to go"
* "Once there was a father who spun"
* "Walk with me, moon")

The following sections were selected by Joyce Wilson from the excerpt first published as FROM THE GARDENS OF FLORA BAUM by Julia Budenz (New Poets Series, Wesleyan University Press, 1984), which is available at The Grolier Poetry Book Shop.

Read Budenz's description of the five books of the poem in progress.

Amy Clampitt on Budenz:
" is part of a vision of how everything connects, of how it is possible at any moment to step from the every day into the sacred, and back again." --Amy Clampitt, p. 166, "How Everything Connects: Julia Budenz, John Ashbery, and Others," Predecessors, et cetera, essays, University of Michigan Press, 1991.

From "The Fire Escape"
by Julia Budenz

5. Season

Boots are pulled on.
The sun stops.
It is called winter.

Snow is refashioning New England.
Snow has halted New York.
Snow has glittered all day across the Plains and over the Rockies.
Along the Pacific there’s nothing but precipitation.

Here the bugs sang all last night.
Only the writhing cajeputs are white.
Under the ramrod palms you stroll in sandals through the evening light.

( © 1984 by Julia Budenz)

From "[B]6. Tree"
by Julia Budenz

Florida, said Flora, is the land of flowers.

From the screened porch, with its seasonable
Show of red and green—blooming
Christmas cactus, poinsettias with subtended
Inflorescence, tannenbaum with its suspended
Efflorescence, among the watering cans—
Beyond a square of screen, beyond the glare
Of the parking lot, across the glint of the road,
In the ample stripe of green beside
The path along the gold wall in front of the gold
Buildings, silver-balconied, bronze-tile-roofed
(Discreetly gold the buildings, the long wall, refined,
Although the sky is indiscreetly blue,
Blazingly, unblushingly, insistently noon-blue
In cloudless noon over stiff gold buildings), you see
The cajeputs with fuzzy tops,
With feathery, green-gray-haired heads
Lost in whitish cloudlets, with white thighs
Discreetly white. We walked along the path
Beside the line of cajeputs, along the path, along…

The trunks are finger-painted in high relief;
The foliage is brush-painted, with the vagueness
Of the brush; the flowers, from the porch, no longer
Brushes, no longer clouds, are stars.
We had seen And were come. One bole
Was straight and single, another
A couple relaxed at a cocktail party, a third
A ménage à trois (quite comfortable), a fourth,
Fifth, sixth, and seventh a loving or warring
Crossing and conjoining of enormous limbs. Through the grid
The cajeputs are wrapped below, stellar
Above, palaestral below, adagio above, earthy
Below, airy above, fleshly
Below, spirit above, at last
Shadow below, sunlight above,
White shade, green-gilded sun.
We walked along the path, along the path, along
The line of cajeputs in their attitudes.

From "The Sheen"
by Julia Budenz

"2. Ithaca"

Then Circe said: It’s time for you to go.
The waterlight spun on the white barber poles
As I pushed off against the current.

Across
The pool
The four
White blos-
Soms swam.
Beside
The spar-
Kling wa-
Ter sat
Helen
In her ba-
Thing suit
With her cig-
Arette
In her tanned
Fingers.

Jack, too shy to hand them to her,
Had set the flowers afloat. Yes,
She was beautiful. Yes, she was
A worthy daughter of deep-browed Jupiter.
Yes, you would almost have to believe
What she was saying: And therefore the ERA
Will damage fragile balances erected
Through centuries by western civilization.
We defeated the Trojans, an Asiatic race,
And now, without fear from abroad,
If we maintain our defenses at home,
We can enjoy in peace our Hellenic blessings. Women—
I know, for I have sinned—are fitted by nature
For marriage and for religion. Let them make heaven
And take their husbands along. I must
Give up smoking. Extending her arm,
She stubbed out her cigarette. She stood up,
Stepped to the edge, tensed, waited poised,
And dived into the pool. The white
Blossoms bobbed about her in a frenzy.

"5. Helicon"
by Julia Budenz

Once there was a father who spun.
He couldn’t fix the faucet or a broken doll,
He couldn’t drive an auto or a needed nail,
But he could spin. Tell us a story.
You’re here. Tell us a story.

I have to get wound up, he would say,
And somehow his daughters devised a plan
Of twisting their fists near his head or his arm.
On the evening of which I speak, he would say,
And then they would not move. Their eyes,
Big, round, almost unblinking, were fixed
Upon the ever-moving thread.
On the evening of which I speak,
Annabel and Isabel were sitting
In the great green chair.

From a place like that
Adventure drew through Chew-Gum Forest,
By Lolly-Pop Copse, up Sun-Up Hill,
Where the chugging bus would pass you full
Of all the girls and boys you’d know
In years to come: Elizabeth and John,
Samuel and Virginia, Celeste and Antoine—
This one tall, black-haired, black-eyed,
With a bright green collar; that one, short,
With auburn curls and a pale blue belt.

Patrick and Pericles, the Mischief-Makers,
Would play some tricks, and the Tick-Tock Dogs
Throw motion pictures in your path to lead
Explorers astray.

But you’d find a friend,
Maybe Philip, though he was very small,
Having been made of the last of the dough
When the Pumpernickels were baked for the tree;
Or Peter, the first to reach up his hands,
Untie the red ribbon, and jump to the floor,
And announce from the middle of the old green rug,
In the middle of the room, in the middle of the building,
In the middle of Chicago, in the middle of America,

That he was Peter Pumpernickel
And had a cousin Lily Pickle
And was made of ginger bread;
He’d a ginger coat and a ginger vest
And he did his ginger, ginger best.

( © 1984 by Julia Budenz)



Walk with me, moon,
Beside neat blue luxuriance of spruces,
Beside wild silvery luxury of maples,
Beside smooth coppery lushness of the maples,
Beside amplitudinous greenery of this maple,
And stop by the steeple.
Bold, you remain in the open,
While I, half domestic, climb up on the bank,
Obscured on the mud like a slumbering duck,
But I do not sleep, I possess the moon,
She said, or its bright companionship,
Or am possessed. It dazzles now
And now transforms an island cloud
Into a habitable desert. And now
The clouds go, and the steeple and the tree
And the nighthawk, shouting, shooting, and the cat
And I and the moon possess the night.

Is possession equal to desire?
Form is that desire,
Felt and found and formed,
Informed, deformed, reformed, then
Felt and found and formed again,
Like frost, like fire,
Like waters cooled and pavements warmed,
Like something almost possessed,
Restful and never at rest.

I accidently killed the "What Are Your Beliefs? thread just recently.
I may have shut down the "Homophobic Crap" thread too.
Would you like to brag about any of your escapades in thread-killing, Deviate? I'm too lazy to go through three years of posts.

ffs... another image thread?

[bealeblues]

What is CWS?

College World Series. it's a 2 week ritual every year in omaha. i've been glued to it since it started. since LSU didn't get there this year, i've been pulling for tulane to get sent home

[venusupnorth]

ffs... another image thread?

I have to pay for download here in Iceland, you can block the images if you don't want them.

-Tools

-Internet Options

-Advanced

-Check all places that ask for no image download

-Next time you surf on here you can right click on an image and chose "Show Picture"

* No downloading of useless images.

I'm starting to use FireFox so I can probably nerd you out with their perfect advantages in the near future :D

[funkytuba]

It's more of a principle thing. I prefer to bitch about it for humo(u)r value... but thanks for the tip.

[venusupnorth]

I can also give you the link to the Bible about Internet usage and..................Can I kill this thread? Maybe if I go on with this, Ha HA Ha

[Brynn]

I went a little crazy with the images when I first learned how to do it. I was so thrilled to finally be in the know. And of course, posting images is so much easier than to actually have to use my brain to form sentences, or, god forbid, expose my soul or anything. Please don't make me expose my soul, okay?

Beale called the CWS. listen to him. he knows about the baseball. i only know about the local rituals surrounding it.

this thread was started way back when there were a handful of people who were self-concious because of their rashes of thread killing. i created this as the thread that would never die to give thread killers a safe place to post that wouldn't plague their psyches. shortly after that it became a contest of who could kill it.

i was a great thread killer back in the day, but honestly can't recall any threads that stand out.

[Brynn]

Ahhh...so the true nature of the thread has asserted itself again.
I think it thrives on the conflict of trying to kill it, though. It's so long-lived, you have to admit that it would be a great honor for anyone to actually kill it.

I'm flashing back to fifth grade. The most popular girl in the most popular clique won't tell me what popular points are or how to get them. I despair, and when I get home I turn on a rerun of Gilligan's Island with my little sister and we argue over who gets to be Ginger and who gets to be Mary Ann. We finally agree that I will be Mary Ann but I call dibs on Batgirl, who trumps Ginger any day.

Susan Jane Gilmore in Hypocrite In A Poufy White Dress writes about the exact same thing - only in her household, whoever touched the screen first got to be that character.

"For me, however, one character was the apotheosis of all that I admired and ever hoped to be.

By day, Barbara Gordon was the brainy, Jackie-Kennedy-esque daughter of Gotham's police commissioner. and yet, with one flick of a switch, her vanity table rotated around and she was transformed into Batgirl, as pornographic a crime frighter as could be seen on prime time, with stiletto heels, a peek-a-boo black mask, and sparkly latex bodysuit that made her look as if she'd been dipped in liquid rubber.

For Batgirl's big 'fight move," Batman and Robin would lift her off the ground like two chorus boys and Wham! Bap! Batgirl would kittenishly swing her pointed, dominatrix boots right into the jaw of an oncoming henchman. Unlike the ditzy molls cowering in the corner, Batgirl leapt into the fray and held her own. And once the battle was over, and the Riddler and his sidekicks were left drowning in their own vat of pancake batter or whatever, Batgirl whirled around and vanished, leaving Batman and Robin awestruck in her wake:

"Batman, who do you think she really is?"
"We'll never know, Robin. I believe we'll never know."

They'd never see her, but we - the audience - would, riding her electric purple Batcycle into the sunset with the wind in her hair while a groovy, Muzaky chorus sang : Batgirrrrrrrl, Batgirl! Yeah, whose baby are you?
Pretending to be her made me almost dizzy with yearning."

Okay, it’s official – I’m pissed.

It wasn’t until I spoke with another zefrank board member that I learned how much this pissed me off. And even then I waited to respond. I didn’t want to react, but to respond.

And I’ve waited a week since our conversation and I’ve learned that I’m even more pissed than I thought I was.

If an attack was made based on a person’s race, class, or weight the board would have been outraged, and would have acted accordingly. If it was on a person’s sexuality there might have been some objections. But instead it was an attack on my gender identity, and a crude one at that.

I’m not lashing out at Topcat because there’s no point in doing so; he/she/sie is a narrow-minded idiot. This is something I’ve learned over the last few years here. But this person made a distasteful remark slamming me, and the board just turns its collective eyes away from the problem.

The thread has been viewed many times since my last post. This thread has endured over a thousand posts over the course of two and a half years and suddenly it dies. My theory is that it has died because no one wants to comment on the issue.

If anyone has issue with my gender identity and wants to bring it forth, please do so in the Debate forum and I would be more than happy to respond. If someone wants to taunt me in other threads, then have fun with it. If the rest of the board wants to sit by and allow this to happen, then I guess I will have to find another community with which to spend my time.

There's always another possibility as to why nobody responded. It could be that they're not interested in starting more dreary board drama. Perhaps they assume you are mature enough to ignore the perceived slight. Or maybe they have learned that complaining about the behavior of others on the board, however justifiably, will get them nowhere.

Please don't be so quick to assume that everyone has issues with your gender identity. That may not be their problem with you at all.

[funkytuba]

So... does this make you a drama queen? or a drama king?

oh right.. smarty would be the drama Queen..

You're Deviate


Lala's a saint.


I'm Marilyn Freakin Monroe.

[Brynn]

If it's any consolation to you Deviate, remember that some people use the "Ignore" feature and might not even see TC's posts.

I saw it, but being dumb as a post, I didn't get it, so I ignored it.

I've thought about this thread often, but to tell you the truth, when it disappeared off of the front page of "Fast Chat" I was too lazy to go looking for it. Now I don't have to :) .

I have no problem with your gender identity, whatever it is, and have no problem saying so.

I'd ask you to be my GBF, but really, I have no idea for sure if you're gay, bi or straight, and really hadn't given it much thought.

Besides, I currently have a crush on Mr. Smartypants. I think he's taken though...

[Deviate]

sparticle - the drama was started when someone saw it fit to make a slam on me in a very distasteful way. maybe, since the majority (if not all) the board does share in my sensitivity on this subject they saw it unnecessary to comment. but it was distasteful, and it was aimed at me, and if i find it necessary to respond it doesn't make me immature. in fact, the immaturity in me kept silent about it for as long as i did.

also, sparticle, please recognize that i didn't respond on this issue for some time, so i was not 'quick to assume that everyone has a problem with [my] gender identity. also, please recognize that there is a definite difference between someone who says, "i don't have a problem with" and someone who is an ally. consider: the frequent scenario of the person who states they don't have a problem with race, or with any person because of their race, but then keeps silent when they hear a racist joke. silence perpetuates. and i almost stayed silent.

internalized oppression is a funny thing - it teaches you that you have no right to challenge the majority, that you have no right to be upset, and that you should keep your mouth shut when someone attacks you. it's very similar to external oppression.

trish - i guess what is bothering me is that if this were an attack on someone based on the minority identities i listed, the board would have been all over the person. the reason why this one is avoided is because it is an issue that the community fails to look at as valid. it is an issue with this space i've had for some time (hence my waning participation), and the objectionable post in question is evident of this nature. it is okay to make fun of those who are gender-variant, and if you do so you will not be challenged.

brynn - you are correct; i didn't consider the possibility of the 'ignore' feature.

and thanks to those of you who are trying to use humour to diffuse the situation. i'm sorry, but this is a very important, real, and difficult issue for me, if not for the rest of you, and i am afraid that the light-hearted banter only detracts from that. however, in most situations i appreciate trying to keep spirits up.

perhaps i'm the one, yet again, who is out of line. however i only felt it was necessary to comment after mentioning this to another board member over dinner and this person seemed to share my distaste in the post. once i realized my emotional reaction may not have been based in personal over-sensitivity i began to contemplate making a statement.

please consider possible parallels drawn up by an acquaintance: if an infertile woman was joked about her inabilty to carry a child or if a person with disabilities was taunted about their lack of motion. my identity was challenged, and in that i was challenged.

if the board collectively would like to write this off as my interest in starting drama than so be it. it would be terribly depressing to see this as the one issue this group refused to be sensitive towards, especially approaching the board's (and my) third anniversary.

but again, i have been distressed at the lack of sensitivity to gender issues on this board for some time. and i have commented much less frequently than i have had issue. "can't change the world," and, "what's the point?" and, "it's your issue, not theirs," have been thoughts that have kept me from speaking.

i don't come to this board to fight for rights or recognition - i used to come for collaboration, humour, information, and the occasional friendship. i hoped i would find understanding and a bit of protection on the sh*t i get from the regular world. if that's not going to happen, well, i'll take my chances in the non-virtual world.

[Audreyvgs]

All I see is somebody who didnt get a joke, havin dinner with somebody who got a big kick about reinforcing your misunderstanding (and misery, how nice), and then when told it was a joke, still didnt get it. What if you'd had dinner with somebody
who had no interest in the board who actually got the joke? Coulda been a
lot happier night for you!

I see no sexual-preference discrimination on this board. I do see self centered people, tho. Can you understand that you didn't get slammed? and if you did understand that, can you drop it?


The lack of response you see just might be
people thinkin, WHOA, she so self absorbed!

It was just a joke. From somebody who doesnt have
a bigoted bone in their body. (cept for people who should know better)

[sparticle]

also, please recognize that there is a definite difference between someone who says, "i don't have a problem with" and someone who is an ally.

Yep, I'm definitely the bad guy here. I won't pick up the cudgel and get involved in an all out fracas over something you perceived as an insult; that must mean I'm a hater.

Not even approaching valid logic, but carry on.

[Deviate]

sparicle - i wasn't saying you were the 'bad guy', i was only pointing out a discrepancy. that is all.

and aud - it is 'he' not 'she', number one, and number two, you don't see the issue because you don't live it.

but thanks for your response, i got the answer i expected, but hoped i wouldn't get.

[Audreyvgs]

he/she whats the dif/ thats my point. you see a difference, i dont. and just because i have not percieved gaybashing...does not infer that I would NOT be offended, cause i would be. Somehow i feel you think everyone has let you down, but I think you have some need to feel opressed.

[trisherina]

Well, I have a kid who's about as gender-variant as you can get at eight. I am teaching her gang signs after taking her Friday to get what she describes as a "homeboy cut" in hopeful tones. And if anyone wants to talk shit about her, I'll explore their little pink ones with my favourite black Steve Madden nosepickers.

I inexcusably sometimes get tired of railing against every correctable instance of ignorance that I see. That's wrong, though, you're right. Absolutely right. Fatigue is a poor excuse.

[Deviate]

aud - when pronouns are used for me it is 'he' and that is it.

i am not perceiving gaybashing - i am perceiving someone attacking my gender identity and the fact that i am not biologically male.

trish - i appreciate your comment and candor.

[trisherina]

Hey, her dad's worry is that kids will tease her.

Apparently, he's right.

[Deviate]

that really blows. sometimes parents don't realize sometimes that what they enforce to try to protect their child can end up being so damaging.

and kids suck.

[Audreyvgs]

Geez, dev, you make so many rules for yourself. Freakin pronouns?
He doesnt care if you have horns, zebra genitalia and pee in the shower. I see no difference in how he thinks and how I think in terms of this. You are seeing only thru these transgender glasses, and thinking that we are looking at you a certain way. You seem to be coloring your world here, and if I were tc, i would be offended at your assumption. Its way off. There is some bigger picture here that you might be transferring your feelings about. I am tired too, of this, cause no one can tell you anything you just dont want to hear.

[funkytuba]

aud - when pronouns are used for me it is 'he' and that is it.

oh... I just caught this.

Some of us (like me) didn't realize that, plumbing notwithstanding, you're a guy.

Sorry I kept the joke going. I simply didn't know. You're now a "he" in my book.

Now lets get back to killing threads, shall we?

[Max Headroom]

My cat's breath smells like cat food...

[trisherina]

See, this is totally my POV, which is why she did get the haircut.

I've never seen a person so damned happy about a haircut in my entire life!

:D :D :D

[Audreyvgs]

God, my kid is 7, has no idea about what money is, and I cut his hair with the dog clipper, what kind of slow lane am I livin in? Gang signs?

[trisherina]

Heh, the gang signs are a joke. Though when I see her walk by in her hoodies and jeans, I'm really tempted to pull one. "Peace out, Rabbit!"

ETA: you picks your battles. This isn't about wanting to smoke crack or even skip practicing the violin. It's HAIR.

[sparticle]

I never cared what my kids wore on top of their heads; it's what 's between their ears that's important.

Cruelty, selfishness and unfairness are not tolerated. Peroxide, Elmer's Glue (the beauty aid -- who knew?), green and pink dye and as much damage as they could do with a clippers and nail scissors have never fazed me. If you don't make a big deal, they grow out of it, literally and figuratively.

IN: Glue, dye, sparkles, bleach, wide chops and narrow trims growing out of the top of the head.

OUT: Racist, sexist, intolerant or unkind remarks coming out of the mouth beneath the mop of technicolor hair.

Simple. Not always easy, but pretty simple.

[Deviate]

i'd like to mention that this is not the only response like this i've gotten, but here is my most recent comment left on my online journal from a zefrank board member.

"You are going to want to ask them to implant a spine when they add your dick. You are the whiniest being on the planet; no one will buy your act as a man. For someone who wants so ****ing badly to be male, you go out of your way to prove yourself female. Toughen up and tough it out; for christ's sake, stop your bawling and move on with your so called life. I am ashamed to know you and embarrassed for you. You are like a spoiled child; any attention, negative or otherwise is still attention."

this is ridiculous.

[Hermione]

^^ omg :mad:

[Brynn]

:confused:
It's very disconcerting for everybody when someone's feelings get hurt here - I would bet it's even disconcerting for the person who perpetrates the thoughtless joke, though they might never admit it.

As we all know, it's uncomfortable to be disconcerted...and people sometimes have trouble handling being uncomfortable....soooo... people get grumpy when they are forced to. I think that's why you might get mean reactions like that. That's human nature for you, unfortunately.

In a civilized world, it's enough to say "that hurt my feelings" and absolutely necessary for the offender to quickly apologize without getting defensive, no matter how much they object to their victim's reaction.

Whenever someone offers a sincere apology, it should be swiftly and gracefully accepted. This happens all the time on the board. In this case, no apology has been forthcoming to allow resolution, but you needn't be bound up by that - you always have the choice to forgive. Always. That's what's so great about it.
And that's why wise men say that all offense is, in the end, self-inflicted. But when I first heard that directed at me, it took a long time for it to sink in.

For the record, I had no idea that you were transgendered. I simply assumed that you were a gay male - mostly because of the pictures you posted, and the quote under your screen name. With that new knowledge, I can see why you were particularly offended by TC's post.

I also assumed that the two of you were pals ribbing each other the way guys do - a phenomenon I will never understand, but witness all the time. Often I'm reading along and come across an insult that makes my jaw drop. A day later I realize they were just teasing each other, and I breathe a sigh of relief that I stayed out of it.

There's no such thing as over-reacting. We all react the way we react, and for people to require you to react in a way that makes them more comfortable is not copacetic. It's embarrassing to be teased, called names, left stranded to defend a point with no graceful way out, etc. and it hurts. It might help to just feel sorry for that person who posted that to you, because most likely they had to learn the hard way to behave that way to someone else in order to protect themselves.

But I've found that if you can't find a way to breathe and laugh it off, especially if it happens over and over, the best thing you can do is put that person on "ignore" and think on them no more. Shaming the rest of the board for not taking up your cause when you yourself didn't react just doesn't seem like a good general policy in the long term, you know?

Anyway, I'm sorry this happened to you. It's such a friendly little thread, and I'm going to continue to think the best of it. And of you. :)
And if this long post doesn't kill it, I don't know what will.

[bealeblues]

i have not followed the controversy or researched it enough to have a conclusive opinion yet, but if topcat made his remark as a shot at deev, even in jest, i think that's pathetic. i'm not saying that for effect and i'm not saying that in fun. if it was meant as a shot, it sucked.

i don't think anyone here comprehends deev's gender identity issues-- i know i sure don't. but that doesn't mean that those issues should be bashed or belittled or that deev's emotions about those issues should be put on trial. someone correctly pointed out that if it had been a racial slur, the world would be up in arms. i recall dozens of people rallying to aid nyc and bashing zero during their moment in the limelight. yet when it comes to something that no one understands, it seems that the en vogue thing to do is just make fun of it and say get over it. **** that. for people who claim to be compassionate, liberal minded, and part of "one human family", seems that it's selectively compassionate, periodically liberal minded, and one human family by invitation only.

but that's just me.

So hi there. Stop reading here if I already annoy/bore you. You won't like it.
Read and respond if you're not afraid of being friends with me, but be careful, or this could be you....

_______, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
Nnoooooooo

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Yesss. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on, yes.

So I've been banned. I'm trying to post now in the least offensive place possible since no one seemed to enjoy my efforts at putting my tiny princess complaints in limerick form, ha ha.

I can't get or recieve Pm's. I can't post images. I can't edit posts. I can't start threads like "How do I get in touch with Ze so I can find out why I'm banned because there's no contact info anywhere on the website?"
I can only reply to posts, so if I try to find out why I'm banned, I look like a damn drama queen. I'm a menace to society. A leper. Pretty funny. I can't figure out why I'm still allowed to reply to posts, however. That may go next, so I'd best make this count.

waa waa waa (cries like a little crybaby and thinks bad things about particular people in spite of her best efforts not to, decides it's one person, a he, although it could just as easily be a she for all intents and purposes but then just decides on one "enemy" at a time, considers turning to the dark side and getting ugly about it, lashing out blindly, becoming a nasty troll lurking under bridges, waiting to make others feel stupid and unloved...quickly discards the idea and makes a nice little fluffer nutter sandwich and starts humming Bowie's "Under Pressure" while deciding to leave off referring to herself in the third person for a while).

Okay. Now thinking nice things about the administrator who banned me, who shall be male today.
Wow. I just got a nice kiss on my neck from my loved one.

I hope he has a nice loved one to kiss his neck too.
Or just someone to kiss his neck if that's all he wants.
And give him a hug and tell him to be nicer to himself, tell him he's brilliant and funny and adorable. Make a nice cup of tea with a little cinnamon and honey in it. Here's a picture of it, it's very tiny, takes up almost no bandwidth:





It's in a nice mug with a picture of an old map and a dog on it. With a microscope you can see the steam, and behind the mug, an out-of-focus fireplace is burning in the background, a tapestry wall-hanging, a beautiful, expensive hand-tied turkish rug on the gleaming hardwood floor. That's his study, his favorite place. He expands in it, his hands feel warm around the mug. The smell reminds him of a dear person who was nice to him when he was a little boy and gave him biscuits when no one was looking.
He's dozed off, exhausted and angry but feeling better.
I hope he gets up in the morning with no aches and pains in his heart or body.
I hope he is confronted with a random delight that surprises him as he turns a corner tomorrow on his way to hated task. The memory of what just happened makes him sail through it, and it's done in half the time.
If it's gray out, I hope he gets a little bit of sunbreak just for him and he feels the warmth of it on his cheek while he eats a snack.
He feels the heaviness of his winter coat and is grateful for it. He forgot or lost his gloves, but it's okay because the cold is somehow reassuring on his skin as he goes from place to place.
Something makes him laugh early in the afternoon.
It's going to be a good day after all.
He's my nice friend on the other side of the world who deep down wishes me well, because he's really a lovely person once you peel back crusty layers of curmugeon. I mean, if someone was holding a gun to my head and asked him if they should shoot me, he'd probably give me a break and say no, she's probably not worth it, you can let her go, and he'd feel good about that decision. Generous and wise. And lots of people love him, feel protective of him because he's important to them. The evidence for it is all over the place. All over the place. He doesn't always recognize that affection, maybe because he loathes things about himself, but he's not alone in that. Everybody's like that. Misunderstanding and confusion and hatred everywhere lurks around everyone's head, just waiting for an in, a bitter little fissure to wriggle into. Ask me how I know.
And he's rolling his eyes and getting irritated at this post, if he reads it this far, but that's fine. Everything's gonna to be fine fine fine as Alanis Morrisette sings a snippet from someone's radio driving by. It's okay. And it's okay if it's not fine because, whenever I've ranted and railed about anything, my beautiful playwright friend Barbara gently reminds me that

"This is what you get."

"What do you mean, this is what I get? What's this?"

"You get this." and she gestures broadly.

"Which is just this, it's not anything. It's heartbreak, it's awful." I want to hit her.

"Yeah, but it's not nothing. It's this - and it's what you get right now." She gives my hand a little pat.And I can't argue with that logic.

I could just live here if I wanted to. The fire is so nice. The tea tastes a bit strong now - it's been brewing too long, but it's still comforting, if a little bitter. It feels good on my throat, which has been a little sore.
Pull up a chair and tell a story. Everyone likes a good story.
How about it? A nice short one please, with gentle parts and a happy ending because I'm feeling lonesome and sad for my friend and for me.
I hope he can see that moon tonight. It's almost full, and very very white. Big old white moon, a face that loves us, loves us all.

[trisherina]

I'm sure it's just a weird glitch. Why would you be banned?

You'll love it over in ban yourself (http://www.zefrank.com/bulletin/showthread.php?p=299570#post299570)!!

[ambo]

Brynn, I'm sure Trish is right.

As for "How do I get in touch with Ze so I can find out why I'm banned because there's no contact info anywhere on the website?", if you go to his home page: http://www.zefrank.com/

...right there under STUFF STUFF, it says:
say hi
...that's his email address

I don't claim to know Ze, but I've been coming here for a long time, and I really don't think he has a mean bone in his body. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Granted, he has always been nice to me, answering my emails when he could just as easily have ignored them. And when I met him, I made an awful fool of myself, and he was still so gracious and sweet to me.

So I'm afraid I'm guilty of being one of those you say love him - this may be coloring my perspective. But I still don't think what you are describing is his style at all. I don't know if you have had some past disagreement with him, but even if you have, this just doesn't seem like his way of dealing with things.

I'm also pretty sure if you were banned, you couldn't post at all, anywhere. At least that's how it works on my board.

Hope you straighten this out.
:(

[12"razormix]

respond if you're not afraid of being friends with me
hi brynn :) e-mail ze!

[zero]

dear brynn i bet this all turns out to be a cookies mixup or something


have you tried logging in at a different pc?


don't worry

[Frieda]

Brynnmeister,

as far as i can see you're in the usergroup "users awaiting email confirmation".
i can't find any notes about you being switched to this user group.

try to contact ze, something must be up.. i dont know what. banned users cannot post at all, and you can. ze@zefrank.com

please dont take glitches in the matrix personally as long as we have no idea what caused them! :)

xx
Frieds

[zefrank]

i fixed the glitch - sorry about the hassle...

not sure what happenned there...

[Brynn]

<exhales>
thank you, ze. thank you. hearts and flowers.

Not to belabor things, and just for the public record anyway, I wasn't thinking that you banned me - I was assigning ignorant blame and power to a not-so secret someone I've been holding a grudge against for quite a while here in the village, but I can see clearly now the rain is gone.

Appalling what scummy crap rises to the surface when things don't go so smoothly. It feels good to clear it away.

Note to you who know who you are - I meant every word of that and will continue to wish things like that on your behalf, because I really do think you're brilliant and funny and adorable, and I will do my utmost to stay out of your face from now on. <kiss>

[ambo]

Well shoot, and there I was defending Ze for no reason.
Oh well, silly me.
:o

[Jack Flanders]

Welcome back, kiddo. Get that blood pressure down and enjoy the ones who care.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

hmm, well that's seems to have been sorted.


I'm still afraid to be friends with her though.
