... do you know who this reminds me of, and somebody is going to have to refresh my memory on this one ... that dude / chick that was a frequent poster in the CH that had a movie actress as his / her avitar.  The individual left awhile back under cloudy circumstances after folks started questioning if he / she was a gender bender.

 
Dave, that was "Jessie" - he posted under the moniker of Jessie Sammler, the film actress. And had done for ages, both here and in the Guitar Tracks forum.
 
Although some of us were naive enough to believe it was really her for a bit, he never said anything to contradict that view - in fact his 'home page' on his membership profile linked to a teenage diary type thing of the actress herself.
 
Even when it was certain he (obviously) wasn't who he claimed to be, he happily carried on the pretence of being a woman - hence the mention of sports bras and the like.
 
It was pointed out to him that this kind of behaviour is maybe alright for a one-off joke, but to maintain the guise for years on end, and for a (middle-aged?) man to be hanging around websites oriented toward teenage girls is, to say the least, a bit creepy.

In other words, folks should face up to courtesy, kindness and community here because it ISN'T the back alley of an urban jungle.

Common courtesy is providing a handful of posts yet being highly critical of the forums demeanour?

May I suggest climbing off your high horse and joining in and rather than generalizing on the whole, commenting on specifics. Unless of course it is your aim to lead us all into the greater civil utopia our current ignorance blinds us too.

I'm assuming you can see things other than the brilliance of your own reflection when I say welcome to the Coffee House.

You'd be on better footing explaining how the correlation of post-quantity to license-to-criticize works.  Obviously, it doesn't.  I've not posted here for the very reason that my current post defines.

You see, it is comments just like yours that I address -- no matter what the literary level -- which come from spiteful minds with little apparent value other than to vent personal angst or harm another.    Where does the sarcasm and scorn come from, and why does it belong here?

For me to be on a "high horse" in your mind because I note, carefully and with qualification, that some are bitter is an inappropriate bit of slashing.  Where does that come from in you, in particular?  Why do you soil this place with such a dark tongue?  How would your attitude improve this forum?

Say in retort what clever things you may, but just for this one instance, address the core question.  Why do you attack the person who doesn't attack you?

I just don't agree with your original assertion.

Post count doesn't relate to anything other than it would have been more courteous had you been a regular contributer here and still had criticisms of the forum at large.

On the whole, perhaps because I joined in with an attitude of goodwill at the outset, I find the forum participants to be very positive, friendly, helpful, given that why would I agree with you, and how does that make me spiteful?

I merely suggested climbing down from your high horse and join in from the level of a peer.  It's entirely your choice how you actually choose to engage with any participants here or not.  Any demeanour failing it would seem is much closer to your doorstep than the forum participants in general.

So can you clarify the point where I attacked YOU rather than your, what I still percieve to be, fatuous comments.

Had I outright called you a narcissitic ego-maniac then you'd have had a point.

cleaned it...just pissin' in the wind.

So Brandon said you registered on the forum with a male's name in your email address:
 
It puts your observations in a completely different light if you are in fact a man posing as a woman. Doesn't that speak of some dishonesty and unethical conduct when you are questioning people's manners and motives. You even question our
psychological stability by some of your observations of various behaviours but if Brandon is indeed correct in what he said, you are guilty of a pretense that makes some of the forumites behavior pale into insignificance. 
 
Would you like to clear up your status and motives for posing as a woman if in fact you are not. I that's not the case why would Brandon say the things he said in his post.

Is it me or do her posts sound like those e-mails you get from Dr Kwembe Ripoffagwambe of Nigeria who has 14 million he would like to deposit in you're account.

I don't know but anyone who uses the word thusly is on shaky ground as far as i am concerned.

Note i realize she is from sweden, this is not meant as a anti foreigner intolerant comment, its mainly aimed at getting Jonbuoy/Steve to spit thier coffee all over the keyboard.
