2. Getting "off topic" for approximatly 5 posts did not hurt anyone. again, it is about the meet up, see number 3.
3. It seems that part of the BN meet up is shaping up to the ladies in tiki and pirate style bikini's and shorted hula skirts. I fail to see how planning that is any different from the new york people posting about t-shirts, or the cinnicinati people deciding to produce green and pink shirts.
4. I think that moderators should not publicly attack a poster. If you had a problem with it you could have PMed me, and that goes for spring parrot too. It is really all in poor taste.
5. Last time I checked ph4ever is not going to the vegas show, her coming over to bash me on this thread was more off topic than a "dress code" for the group of BNers actually going to the show.
6. being rude and abrassive is certainly not something that go hand and hand with BN meetups, tailgating, and forum chatting. Thats why I said to take that sort of behavior somewhere else. I do have a right to say that, because I am actually going the vegas concert and I do not want unpleasent people around me. Why would anyone willingly put themselves are someone who rudely calls you out about something than has her friends come and attack you as well. Are we back at the sorority house? give me a break ladies.
6. Thank you to the many PMs I have gotten from the regular posters to this group. Also, I would like to say that if you have considered leaving this thread because of the comments directed towards me, I ask that you don't as I personally believe that ya'll have the most to offer to this group. I did not take the offenses personally. I'd hate to lose a lot of the regular particpants of this forum because people not even going to this concert caused a stir.
Basically what it comes down to is that the women posting here are preturbed about something said by me on an off topic chat thread. They assume I was mentioning the bikini things for other reasons, they already don't like me, and they are rushing to stick up for friends when they are really allienating someone who wants to really be apart of this community. I have even stepped up and am trying to be the organizer. So having said all of that, to the people ACTUALLY GOING to the concert..........
First you have NO FREAKING IDEA if I'm going to Vegas or not - had you been here longer or possibly read the other threads for tailgates you'd realize it's not unusual to have "Surprise Guests" at any BN flocking or tailgate.
As a member of this board I have the right to participate in any and all discussions - had Jim wanted private forums accessible to only certain members he would have created them. I did not bash you - just pointed out protocol established and asked if your name was Sam - had I wanted to bash you - ask anyone around here I could have done a MUCH better job.
You got problems with the way a moderator handled you - maybe you should follow the rules
http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16617
Users should treat the moderators and the board admin with courtesy and respect. Any name calling or using obscene language will not be tolerated.
Any issues you have with a moderator will be handled by the admin of the board by sending an email to info@buffettnews.com.
Referring to your first no 6 statement - You really need to back that one up and take a good long hard look into your mirror when you say that. You call for respect when you are in fact guilty of disrespecting quite a number of BN members, some longtime, in that off topic thread you mentioned. Some of us are your mothers age or older - is that how you treat your mother and her peers?
It has been clear from your posts that you are attempting to divide BN into the old people and the younger ones. Does that anger people - yes quite frankly it does yet in the same time you provide laughter and amazement for some.
The age difference here between FRIENDS is vast. Some of us that are friends have HUGE age differences, some ranging from 20 to 35 years difference and from the pm's flying between all of us, well let's just say you're not the only one that is receiving and sending pm's about posts made. Your rudeness toward several of us not only in the off topic thread you mentioned but also this one was causing a pm barrage LONG before I stepped into this thread.
