I cannot imagine a scenario where you got a time out.  You're one of the nicest people around!

See above, except Binky it.   

Joe and the moderators let the trolls run amuck on this site and if/when you push back they suspend you. I seriously considered never returning back - and leaving for good is still under consideration - but for now I’m just going to cut back on posting and also just spend far less time here.

or spending all your time on your favorite Clapton songs!

 

Deadline will be moved back to Sunday night.... midnight.

I'll see what I can do.

Same thing happened to me several weeks back. It was frustrating, but I like being a member of this little online community, so I got over it. Hope you will, too, and will stick around.

I have it on good authority that the following people who submitted top 25 lists haven't submitted for the top 64, which is OK if you're busy or not interested or spending all your time on your favorite Clapton songs!  But if you want to submit, we'd love to have you, and if you need more time, I know a guy who might be willing to work with you on that.  Just let us know!

That was me at one point last year, but somehow I got over it. Can empathize with the frustration of being dinged for seemingly harmless comments.

As for the 1-64, I'm also going to have to bail on that. Just can't dedicate the time right now.

 

[zamboni]

few days after the election, I made a joke:

The only way Trump’s getting to 270 is if he loses 50 pounds

 nine weeks 

was out until New Years Day

I guess William Howard Taft jokes are way off the table then.

I'm still in shock you got a seat on the bench. Out of all of us, you'd be the one I'd least expect that to happen to. 

There have been several times over the years when I expected to get the hammer, but didn't for whatever reason(s). I was wrong on those occasions and would have understood why I got the TO. 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

You keep posting that, you might get another.

Happened twice - I think in the RIP thread. My gallows humor doesn't always go over well with some.

Were you punning? Those tend to get misunderstood by a few in positions of power.

The RIP thread seems to be a major source of bannings. There seems to be zero tolerance there.

first I had a spelling error

but accidentally hid it

then I forgot to italicize the quote

& decided to intentionally hide it after copy pasta

except @zamboni quoted me lol

I'm sure that's what it was - that's what I do.

Leroy is my hero in that regard.

I can zap it if you want - although not sure how to do that anymore.

well I know how to hide it



leave it, please

if I don’t give a like to a Hoard post, I probably didn’t see it

fennis was similar

We can’t lose any more of the interesting, bright, and witty posters. It’s ok to disagree and even stir the pot a little but throw a couple of jabs and then move.  The safest play is to stick to the music threads.

The music threads can get a little hairy, too.  K4 even gave herself a timeout.  

We need to be more oh-bla-di, oh-bla-da about things.

I surely deserved my suspension this time (I did lose my composure, but it was a bad day for me) - but of course as usual the troll was allowed to get off scott-free. He was probably the one to report me as well - that's how it generally works around here.

increased irritability is a leading indicator for me

I try to post less or stay completely away when I feel like I'm sliding toward depression

(not inferring that's the case for my buddy K4 or anyone else....but I've done the self-imposed ban thing)

after I got my nine week timeout I never posted again in the PSF, and probably 95-99% of my 2021 posts before Get Back were in TSP

This is good advice. I was surely more triggered that day as it was at or very near the one year anniversary of the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I was in a dark place and couldn't move past some fat troll making a joke at my expense, and trying to make me look like a fool by putting words in my mouth that I never said.

Was this the Tyreek thread?

Embarassingly enough, yes.

That's basically been my m.o. in the FFA since April 14, 2003, with selected other threads. I despise politics, so I have no interest in ever veering in there.

IME the most common triggers of rage for men are 1) we feel disrespected, or 2) we feel someone is trying to embarrass or shame us

Imma stop short and not offer advice bc we are all complex individuals

But just wanted to say I've been there, we all have, and on the whole, 99.99999% of the time you're a really good human

Nothing to be embarrassed about. You were emotional that day and encountered someone who likes to push buttons.

I think you are my longest ifriend on here, zam. I remember in the early days when you, me, Uncle Humana, and Nigel Tufnel hung out in music related threads a lot. 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Yes, they got me for one of those too. Around here anyone who has died in the last hundred years is off limits.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I guess William Howard Taft jokes are way off the table then.

He just died in 1930, better wait a few years on those.

 

[Shaft41]

I'm not sure anything was off the table with Taft.

Yes, I've heard that he had a very skinny dog.

Thanks...

We still have two songs that have been on every list.

The popularity resurgence of "A Taste of Honey" is truly mesmerizing.

We have 22 songs with a 2022 vote and no votes so far.

We have 14 songs with zero 2022 votes that now have a 1-64 vote.

Those were the days.  Pretty sure Uruk and Leroy were both with us way back then, too.

I agree with this although I think one of your "friends" is part of the problem. So it really is in the eye of the beholder.

I was wondering if they were, but I wasn't sure if it had been that long with those two.

I do remember thinking Uruk was a black guy that played basketball back in his hey day.

I don't know if I was in on the ground floor, but it had to be close to it if not. I remember we had a really long music trivia thread back then.

Yes, at the time I think it was the longest thread in history. Like nearly 400 pages long.

Certainly had a lot of time on our hands back then, as opposed to, um, now.

I did not ask Worth or Rob to submit a top 64 (actually didn't ask anyone but OH and Wrighteous Ray), so we're safe from them at least.

Happy 59th birthday, Julian Lennon! 

I think I enjoy this song the most because he sounds just like John on it.

Agreed. Sounds so much like John. 
Also a much better tune IMO than “Too Late For Goodbyes”.
