It's good to see at least one thread I started is still around

If you can find the Claremont Colleges Concert Choir's performance circa 1999, I can vouch for it's awesomeness.

It took a lot of work, but it was an honor to be a part of it.

It was a question to the rangers, I can't keep other people from answering, though. hal, you're not supposed to be discussing anything that was posted in the Symposium. Period. This is incorrect. "---1) Be banned from the Symposium. ------ a. Replying to threads from the Symp outside of it woul...

Here's a question, and I apologize for the continuation of a terrifying topic to some, but I Finally thought of an example that might illustrate to people why I am disgusted by how things are stated. Would people consider it racist if someone were to say: "ACORN is just an organization of naive...

If you read what I said, of course I expected you to do whatever you want. I think it's disingenuous to follow the edicts of an old jury, imposing new punishments as you see fit, given we were under a specific set of rules then, and now under new ones... but that's just me... and as it's been made e...

Hal. The Business Room is not a shadow Symposium for your own special purposes. You made a complaint about discussion in the Symposium. It was given a considered response and got nowhere. Your terms of return are not to reply to Symposium threads elsewhere. Your complaint was pushing your boundarie...

Well, if you're following the guidelines of the jury, there's nothing you can do. If you're deciding new punishments for NOT breaking the parole, just annoying you because you can't face your own hypocrisy.. well you can do whatever you want. I must say this new charter works well... punishing peopl...

if I hated this place, I wouldn't try to get rid of the hate speech and hypocrisy that has now apparently been deemed acceptable. On the contrary, i find it odd people claiming to like this place don't try and stop such crap... but we're apparently not allowed to discuss such things anymore, so I gu...

ok, I'll spell it out for you. It's ok to offend people on b77 if you don't like them. It's ok to post cartoons about people that will offend them if no one else is going to complain. It's ok to be racist as long as it's against white people. yeah, that's hypocrisy. jewelsong, I point out what's wro...

no

well, if they can live with their hypocrisy, I guess.

and I was not responding to that thread. So stop saying I WAS!!!!! You think the racism in there is the only thing I've wanted to respond to? There are about 10 threads where blatant false statements are made that I would love to argue about, but have I said a damn thing? No. Racism I refuse to let ...

:grouphug: for Tosh. Now can we stop subverting the Business Room into the Symposium? I wish people would stop saying this. It's an attempt to say I'm doing something wrong again, when I am not. I suppose it's good vison isn't around or I'd be banned again with no ability to say anything, as everyo...

If hal is not allowed to post in the Symp, then he should not be allowed to rebut items in the Symp in here. I'm offended by his behavior. and I'm offended by you, but I don't go out of my way to point it out. I'm not "rebutting" anyone anywhere, except people here saying that it's not of...

I don't have a problem with anyone disliking anyone else. I only have a problem when the "reason" those other people are wrong or should be disliked, is because they are old, white, or men. When you offer no arguments for why they are "bad" other than their race, gender, and age,...

Indeed, I do that as well, but I also let them know I find it offensive. Then when they continue to do so, in a place that is SUPPOSED to be free of such offensive statements... I ask that something be done with it. If people were saying the statements were bad, the rangers wouldn't have to do anyth...

oh I'd be happy to fight my battles there, yov, but I can't. There is no reason for me to not be able to read the nonsense that passes for "debate" there these days, though, and when I am offended by it, I have every right to ask that it be taken care of. This is a board where we're suppos...

indeed, none of being old, white, or male is a bad thing, but when you label an entire political party as such a thing, and make the claim that that makes them "out of touch" or whatever, that's racist, sexist, and whatever it is to denigrate old people. I'm not a republican but find the n...

I find the current attempt to classify all republicans as "aging white men" in the symposium to be repulsive, racist, and extremely offensive. I would appreciate it if the rangers would step in and do something about it.
