Default What has gone before

Our story so far . . .

In the last thread, Chi_Cygni apologized for calling Annabel Lee an idiot. Some people doubted the sincerity of the apology. There was some fighting about that. Miss Shelby complained no one ever called her a gay hussy either, so Lunachick called her one. Much silliness ensued.

Apenman pointed out that there were new Homosexuality posting rules in some forums at CF. Polycarp1 pointed out that he could not follow the teachings of his bishop and post on the issue of homosexuality at all at CF. Flesh99 disagreed and said he was fairly certain Polycarp1 could discuss homosexuality on CF under the new rules.

Chi_Cygni decided to rag on I'ddie4Him for a while about the new(er) rules in N&CE and the new General Political Discussion forum. Flesh99 defended ID4H a bit. The conversation turned to dittomonkey911, who was alleged to have his head very far up ID4H's ass. Even I Love Jesus laughed at that turn of phrase.

Suddenly a whole bunch of mods, starting with Jameseb showed up. Although we tried to hide the beer, they still got into it. Flesh99 admitted a liking for Mickey's farting beer. Most other CF Staff showed a preference for quality malt beverages.

During the drinking session, seebs announced that he had heard E-beth was retiring from Staff at CF. Many nice things were said about E-beth.

Flesh99 made an off-hand reference to Black Adder. Rigorist a/k/a CaDan announced he has checked the CF membership list and found the name Baldrick was available. Flesh99 offered him all his CF blessings if he changed his CF name to Baldrick, so he did it.

There was some discussion with IIDB Staff about the proper booze to take on canoe trips.

Elanor found a good picture of some bossyboots.

A few lame D&D references were made.

A few off-color references to BDSM were made.

Chi_cygni made a serious proposal to change how CF issues warnings. Flesh99 told him his proposal was how CF already did things.

There was some commentary on how the RaptureReady BBS is mean.

There was some discussion of seebs' unusual love life. Chi_Cygni made a rude comment (do we see a pattern here?)

Chi_Cygni posted his comprehensive theory of CF fucked-up-ed-ness. Flesh99 shot it down. Polycarp1 filtered the the truth from the crap in Chi-Cygni's comprehensive theory of CF fucked-up-ed-ness.

Then there was some foreshadowing of the great rockNhardplace drama to come. rockNhardplace admitted she was E-beth and announced her retirement. rigorist posted some song lyrics and poetry. Rising Tree posted some poetry. seebs and TomJoe a/k/a fenced a little about E-beth.

The Blaster showed up! If you thought it was fun having Chi_Cygni around, you ain't seen nothin' yet! TomJoe took a potshot at Blaster's wife and the fun began!

Meanwhile, Flesh99 and rigorist exchanged angsty song lyrics.

Lunachick said everyone was batshit crazy.

mongrel had to put on his mod hat and tell everybody to calm down.

Chi-Cygni acted like a jerk.

seebs tried to make some peace.

rigorist offered up some ice cream.

crazyfingers had to put on his mod hat.

There was a discussion about the use of sockpuppets by CF staff.

Chi_Cygni alleged ditomonkey911 was posting copyrighted materials on CF. Much slagging of dittomonkey911 ensued.

Chi_Cygni admitted his CF username was/is Captain_Jack_Sparrow.

There was some discussion of toilets and plumbing.

There was some discussion of zoot.

Several male members of CF Staff pronounced their admiration for Madeline Stowe and Alyssa Milano. Annabel Lee countered with Daniel Day Lewis. lunachick settled the matter with the posting of jameseb's head Photoshopped onto a model wearing bossyboots.

There was more discussion of zoot.

ITRW, Flesh99's baby was born. The birth did not go well (but the baby is OK now). Everybody was nice. lunachick and Blaster bonded over both being born blue.

There was some more discussion of sockpuppets.

Chi_Cygni tried to make a point about unfair moderation at CF and got names and dates confused again.

TheBear showed up from the past.

Grizzly tried to figure out how to get a thread he had posted in moved out of the "christians only" section of CF.

Blaster a/k/a I'ddie4Him announced his resignation from CF Staff.

TheBear put forth his theory that problems at CF are due to explosive growth. There was some discussion of the relative sizes of CF and IIDB. There was some discussion of differences in moderation styles.

During this time, the CF Staff who had been participating at IIDB disappeared.

apenman noticed that while CF mods were not participating in the thread, they were looking at it. There was some discussion of whether or not this had been ordered at CF.

shannonkish posted a list of characteristics of cults. There was some discussion of whether CF or CF Staff met some of the criteria.

excfmod posted that Erwin was running CF for money. excfmod also posted that Erwin had been less than truthful about the timing of when he became a lawyer.

TheBear pointed out that there were not enought ads on CF to support the moneymaking venture scheme. rigorist recalled a thread on CF about the cost of running CF.

CF Staff returns with a vengeance!

I'm not being hypocritical kimber. I told you why I came over here to begin with and nothing changed a bit since then has it ?? Me moaning about anything ?? Bullshit. I am pointing out facts. Witness ?? I have more credibility and respect here than I ever did at CF even while on staff. From Staff at that. Guess acting HUMAN does have its advantages. Whats your excuse ??

Michelle

I do accept your apology and I apologize as well for losing my temper. I went to bed last night and just knew I was gonna have a heart attack since my blood pressure was so high my skin was probably smoking.

You know, all this has made me so tired. It seems like every daggum thing gets blown up to ogre-sized proportions until as many people are affected as possible. No one (myself included) can just let.it.go. I am hurt and angry over how I was treated by CF, as are many here mod and ex-mod alike, but I am better off for being off staff.

I have a right to my opinions, but not a right to be mean or nasty. I just sort of respond with what I am given, and that ain't right either.

What I really wish...really really reall wish, is that CF could have been safe for me and others to complain in and give opinions in without being labelled, guilted, punished, or disrespected. All anyone wants is to be heard and loved. Instead I was a coward, and wanted to stay on staff with all my little friends, so I came here and let off steam. Others took my steam and added more heat until it became a fire of hellish proportion.

Thanks Michelle. Your apology is the only one I have ever gotten from anyone on staff at CF. It means alot to me.

As for humble pie, I have eaten it so much lately I am thinking of publishing a cookbook of the recipes I have created.
