Forum etiquette

No lets be clear, why don't you stop targeting, vilifying and bullying members of the forum.

Robbie myself and at least one other poster has asked you to provide any any evidence of this "bullying". So far your response has been that you can't be bothered. I hardly think you repeatedly making and accusation and repeatedly failing to back it up with any evidence constitutes anything anyone will be interested in. I can't stop what I've not been doing.

Well......morning to all.

I'll keep this short if I can. I'm cancelling my subscription here at RHP as of this morning. It will allow me to finish my games if I want but will not renew as of my renewal date.
I have other issues in my life going on which some here doubt and seem to take lightly and have to me insulted the issue of alzheimers that my ...[text shortened]... n distracted and I'm sure I haven't thought out my responces well.
Thank you and take care....

Steve (G-Man)

I also hope the best for you sir. Take care of your family and yourself. Trust me I know how distracting these things can be. Take care and may the God of peace give you peace in your trials my friend.

Lets see if your memory is good Divegeester.
How many times in the last 5 years has Galveston done this same thing .. ie cry to everyone about his personal problems and threaten to leave [as if thats a big deal], just so that he can escape answering questions posed to him about topics he raised.

I sympathise with Galveston's domestic situation and fully understand his need to resign his membership tomorrow, cease posting in the forums and finish his existing games.

Edit: as I've said publicly and privately to him in a PM, he has my sincere best wishes in this matter.

I have provided evidence in my last post prior to this, your insistence on knowing his personal affairs, where he is, what he has been doing, whether or not it effects his ability to post, your vile accusations of using his personal circumstances as an excuse not to reply to you, your following him from one thread to another, your vilification of him under the guise of forum etiquette, anyone can look for themselves at your posting history and how you repeatedly have made Galveston a target for your attacks, reducing almost every single post and thread to a matter of personality when he has been predisposed to introduce spiritual content. All of this constitutes empirical evidence of your bullying, your targeting and your vilification of another member of this forum. Who will you target next?

How does me observing Galveston's chess moving and posting habits in a public online forum constitute being "personal affairs"?

When you say "follow" do you mean me posting comments to him in several threads at the same time? If so then I am guilty of that. Although I have no idea why anyone would think it wrong.

Are you going to go on like this for several days or just till your meds kick in?

Thanks Manny. Things are getting crazy and I know sadly they will get worse.
We of course have known for a while the they've had these issues but especially with Mom it's going down hill fast.
The only good thing is she seems happy which is a blessing but the thing with alzheimers is other physical issues come up which concerns me more and that is usually what does one in eventually.
But as I said she seems happy, almost childlike. I wonder what will be next...
Dad has "Lewy Body" which I never heard of but it's a dementia thing that eventuall makes a person really mean and hard to take care of. He's been showing this now for a couple years but he's needing to go into some facility for general care. Unfortunently this is one condition that most facilties will not accept. So my sister and me have no idea where this will go for now.
Anyway my problems but thanks for the kind words and I'll keep in touch......Steve.

Galveston, everyone here will have the deepest sympathy with your domestic situation. Ageing parents are a concern at the best of times and I can only reiterate my sincere best wishes to you and you sick relative. These real life matters are of infinitely more significance than petty arguments on the internet, which mean absolutely nothing.

As you are ...[text shortened]... hen you are in a frame of mind to fully engage in the fray. Until then, take care.

Sincerely.

Thank you.....

Of what concern is any of his chess moves to you and your discussion of spirituality? that is correct it has no bearing whatsoever, this forum is for discussing spirituality but forum bullies like you are not content with that, nooo, you must reduce every single element to personality so that you can vilify the personality behind the post, because thats what you do. Shall we look at your posts how he introduces a spiritual theme and how you cannot help yourselves attack him personally, shall we?

thread about good news:

I hope you will choose to respond in this thread and not ignore my questions as you are in your "worship" thread.

Are you going to reply to my post or continue this pretence of avoiding me because I'm a child of the devil? Or whatever it is you and robbie have convinced yourselves I am.

Why won't you respond to my post?

Are you afraid of the content?

Do you think observers will find your repeated cowardly behavior in some way an endearing resistance to the powers of the dark side?

end of thread:

entirely typical of managing to reduce a thread to a personal level in order to vilify the personality behind it and that is just a single instance.

and no i don't plan on spending anymore time on Internet trolls or forum bullies

I don't see anything wrong with any of those posts and none have been alerted for bullying as far as I can see.

I don't know what observes will think until they post; most whom have posted in this thread seem to at least in part agree that I have a case.

No one has PM'd me asking for clarity, asking me to back off, or telling I'm out of order. No moderator has contracted me publicly nor privately.

I think you are 'grinding the axe' robbie and it is in fact you who needs to wipe the "drool" from your own chin and try to gain more objective view of my complaint instead of viewing the situation through your pinhole JW perspective.

Yeah because lets face it we target and harass people who use the forum to the extent that they want to leave the site entirely. More slobbering drool from the perpetual reservoir of slobbering drool.

Galveston has not been purposely harassed, he has been called out for his continued poor forum etiquette. Galveston may feel harassed, but that is because he can't seem to recognise that his posting behaviour is not acceptable and continues to argue his point against it.

Now of course, you are are looking to salvage some sort of internal fortitude from the wreckage of your own belligerence. No doubt you will console yourself with the spiritual pseudo-salve of believing that you are being persecuted for being god's chosen people, or indeed...person.

just for future reference can you advise divegeester how many posts he is allowed to send and in what time frame to an individual before it is classed as harassment?

just for future reference can you acknowledge that there is a forum for drool and slobber and this aint it.
