That's pretty logical too. If they're going to continue doing what they like doing there's no reason why everybody else can't continue to do what we like doing.

I'm going to use buffettbride as an example since she's not around to defend herself!!

I also think if someone chooses to fixate on certain topics and bring them up time and time again, that they should expect and accept good natured ribbing and teasing about said topic: ie Sporks

And if someone chooses to post multiple threads of similar nature, yet different topics time and time again, that they should expect and accept good natured ribbing and teasing about said behavior: ie Polls

Why not just ban Ringling, Ringling and the others that can't accept the fact that phjim approved the posting of articles long ago and that'll solve the problem right there.

So you're saying that people should be banned for teasing people? That's totally unrealistic! You're fighting HUMAN NATURE here.
The appropriate response is to tease back like you did in another thread with the crack picture. I thought, hey Jahfin's finally getting it. But maybe not?

hush.. don't encourage him. he's on a roll now.

You really don't have anything to worry about, I'm sure.

fingers crossed, and I can hope.

Now that makes sense to me.

It's as hot as Wino You Know's a$$ after eating alligator chili at Key West in the Union Station Mall in St Louis.

I DONT KNOW HOW THE SAME PEOPLE GOT THEIR PANTIES IN A WAD AGAIN THIS TIME....

BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD:

THAT IS ALL

This board is called “Buffett News”, not “Harassment Central” (or “Teasing” as you call it).

Now would that be heat or humidity?

there was no alligator in the chili when I ate there last week. Of course, the guy working there could really have used a 3 week run thru Marinell's "Blonde Tornado PH" customer service course.

No.

Oh, and to answer your question, blame your buddy Ringling Ringling and his 5 year old attention starved traits for all of this.

But if there is no teasing and no kidding around, really, how many people would want to come here as much as they do?

Don't you have family members or friends that half of the reason you spend time and do things with them is because you kid around and prod each other? Harassment and teasing comes with the territory of having friends and family. My brother in law calls me at work for the only purpose of harassing me. He makes me laugh and I hang up on him.

It's all in how you look at things.

Well, Kevin, I guess he told you!!!!

I see people teasing people all over this board, and it's how the one being teased chooses to react to it that shows the level of maturity. You and Parrot Monkey react so easily to "good-natured ribbing," choosing to interpret it as complaining or attacking you. It's really amazing to the rest of the people on this board who do enjoy your posts. It takes a thicker skin and an ability to not care what other say to just not react, that's all.

Well, I see Sy beat me to it. But really!!!

That is the perfect analogy! My husband and brother are exactly like that. My husband will poke and prod at his brother until he gets the nasty attitude back, and then just keeps right on going. Of course, everyone around laughs because his brother's being ridiculous.

I couldn't have come up with a better analogy!!!!

thanks... fortunately for me, even though you have uncovered my sinister plot, neither Jah or PM will believe it.. it is just too outlandish.

When they get it, they'll get it. If they don't, they don't. I had five older brothers and a thin skin. The more I ran crying to Mom, the more teasing I got. I hated them! When I finally learned to laugh it off, I earned their respect without even trying to. Now it's hard to believe how much we love each other... Now, I love teasing and wouldn't have it any other way... Well, most of the time.

So, no matter what I say or how well I word it I am outnumbered here by members of the clique (which also apparently extends to some of the mods) so I am always going to be wrong. I also know that this most recent spat began with Ringling, Ringling's constant posts complaining about PM's Buffett Remasters project so why not direct your comments towards the offending party? Wait, I can answer that, because then you wouldn't be a member of the clique.

Let me see if I understand this:
1. people bust on Jahfin about the articles he posts and he gets p*** off
2. people bust on PM because they get tired of hearing about his pet project and he gets p*** off
3. people bust on me because: a. I'm old; b. I'm from NY; c. I'm a lawyer; d. I'm a Mets fan; e. any number of other things, real or imagined - I don't get p*** off, I bust back at them. And I seem to get along with most of the people here. I wonder why?
Simple solution, no?

Well, that’s quite an unfair comparison there. When I go online and search for a specific message board, find one I like that has to do with the topic I want to discuss, I most likely join it. When I join, I come with the intent of posting about the forum’s namesake, and to discuss that with others. Joking is one thing and is more then welcome in my book, but this is harassment. Maybe you haven’t seen all of Ringling’s posts on this matter, and so your don’t know the big picture, but trust me.

Quick question... do I let this play out, even though it is going nowhere... do we try to get it back on topic... or do I lock it?

It's as hot as Dr Evil's Liquid Hot M A G M A

As usual you left out a very important factor, the majority of posts directed at PM and myself have been mean spirited. They are also fully intended to anger the person they're directed at. For concrete evidence of that look no further than Ringling, Ringling's comments earlier in this thread where he out and out admitted to that being the motivation behind his posts. On most every other message board I'm aware of, admission to "trolling" or "baiting" in this manner would be grounds for banning that person but for some reason, those rules don't apply here. They're allowed to get away with it again and again.

Listen up KID... tread lightly with me... Unless you can handle the recourse... I'll be your best bud OR the worse enemy...

That wasnt directed at you directly... it was a blanket statement to everyone bickering

To reiterate dont come at me son.... I've never said a damn thing negative to you... but I'll sure as hell put you on my s*** list if you wish...

Choice is yours... and I'm done with you

I’d suggest you do whatever float your boat there, but I hope in addition the whole “Now stop it, all of you” motheresque way of dealing with this type of argument is dropped for actually finding out the root of the problem, and dealing with it from there. That can be done simply by looking at the first page of the thread to see where the detour began. If not, I don’t know what to tell you. Only expect the problem to arise again and more threads to go off topic
