Members Sylph Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wow, wow, wow... How much the rhetoric of some people changed... Wow, wow, wow... And P. S. Y&RWorld - you were forcing Nelson's cr*ppy column on us! :P I still believe Josh is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Of COURSE Josh is out. They just don't want to announce it until they have a replacement, for fear of seeming "unprofessional". I just wish they realized we're all clued in to their "unprofessionalisn" eons ago. No need to try and hide it at this point. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Well, if they're taking their time to find his replacement, it better be damn good. I'd hate for them to take forever, and then hire John Valente or someone else as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Careful, A... You never know. You might WISH for someone like Valente. (ANd no, I don't know anything. Just pointing out it can always be worse. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Don't shout. I've (notice I, not others) had it with your capitals and mean posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 If I've come across as mean recently, I want to apologize to the entire SON network. I know sometimes things in prints don't come across the way we originally intended it. So I really want to apologize to everyone reading if I've overstepped my bounds recently. That's not cool and I'm truly regretful if I've rubbed anyone the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 I personally haven't ever taken offense to anything you've posted. I want you to be my baby daddy, LoL. On the internet, using CAPITAL letters is considered "shouting." That's why I use italics alot when I want to stress a word rather than using caps lock.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Oh, Sylph, the epitome of sweetness in SON posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thanks, Kenny. I knew about the capital letters/shouting thing, but unfortunately, I grew up in the years pre-Internet, so sometimes I just type all caps to emphasize without realizing the rules have changed. I'll try and keep and eye out for that in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 20, 2008 Administrator Share Posted August 20, 2008 I haven't noticed anything. I didn't take your "OF COURSE" as being mean either. I sometimes use CAPS as emphasis and I don't consider it shouting. ie: "What the HELL was that?" to "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" <---- obviously that one is shouting. LMAO!

Members dm. Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hmmmm... interesting news....... whatever happens next, I'll be happy just as long as he's really out. And hopefully a replacement will be reported soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawg Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Ugh, seriously, all this makes me think of is the Tao quote "Those who know, do not speak. Those who speak, do not know." There's become such a rush to be the "one site" that breaks news, its all become a big game of telephone with "inside sources" that usually don't know the whole story, or even a quarter of it.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah, all we can do is hope for a positive replacement. I mean, I guess whoever replaces him could be just as bad, but I'm still glad he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 Brimike, to me you come across as positively sweet. Sometimes you do a teasing thing...but I think teasing is good when it is not mean spirited. I think Sylph is a daily joy for me here, who delights in being contrarian and strongly opinioned. I like that you spar with him, but I never personally read it as mean. I want to fess up to frequently using ALL CAPS myself. Some of that comes from usenet, where the 'emphasis' options are limited. Some of it comes from laziness: I can just hit the caps lock, as opposed to highlighting and then doing something (ctrl-I, or the i button, or hard coding the i). I'd like to hope that we are a tolerant enough bunch here to tolerate a range of post-emphasis styles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
