Newbie Hits Her Stride

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

kk,

As an old timer here, now with five posts under your belt, it's interesting to see that you have moved from insulting me, to insulting Bill. While you may have a hard time believing this, I have a lot of friends on this site. Will you end up insulting everyone who seems to be my friend?

I have on occasion misjudged a newbie here. In every case, I have apologized, either in a post or in a private message. At this time, I have not made any judgement about you. I have only made observations on what you have written.

"And Bill(,) who knows what you are talking about half the time. Your spelling skills really nead an upgrade."

If Bill wants to make the effort, he can be as correct as the smartest little school girl. :wink: Proper English is not usually important when you are exchanging ideas in a forum like this. The only reason you ever see any of us correcting someone else, is when we want to be "nasty".

Reddyson is a perfect example. He runs out of ideas, so he attacks my lack of education. I am not ashamed of my GED diploma. I understand that I lack a lot of the skills of some educated idiots. Ideas are what should be exchanged here, not lessons in spelling and punctuation. If that's what floats your boat, you are in for a very bumpy ride.

It's true that I post a lot here. I have also created a lot of topics, as Peter has kindly pointed out. Nothing "nasty" was intended, I am sure.
It may be that most of my posts have been mindless exchanges, like this one. Like I told Reddyson, if you don't like what I post don't read it. That seems simple enough.

What must seem obvious, even to a newbie, is that all of the people who complain about my posts, read each and every one of them. They just can't help themselves. If you will point out what would be a proper amount of posts for me to comment on, percentage wise, I can assure you I will do my best to meet your quota.

Let me ask you this: How much of your last post was on the original "subject matter"? Have you joined this forum to be part of some kind of solution, or will you just become part of the problem? Here is how it works, kk: When a smart gal like you sees the topic going astray, you simply stick to the subject and ignore the side streets. If you think I will just keep breaking your .....good intentions, you are wrong.

I told you that I would return to you, what you gave to me. I will do the same with any of the other members. If you doubt it, just give it a try.
Otherwise, just ignore my comments and keep your conversations directed at people you agree with.

Respectfully,

Joe

Reddyson,

I don't have to go back very far in your post to find mistakes. Not to worry, I seldom point out errors in spelling or grammer. Don't ever want to look like an educated idiot. :roll:

Leave it to Ribado to trash what began as a serious thread.

Perhaps someone is in the midst of a nervous breakdown, or they have not been taking the medication that they so desperately need?

Oh well.......

Bad Medicine?

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

Peter,

Nope, perhaps slightly bent, but no break in sight. 8O

I have no arguement with your statement about me trashing this topic. I did it all by myself, no thanks to you, mister! :lol:

For a man who likes to take the totality of ALL the evidence, you always manage to turn a blind eye to your own contributions.

Neither of us will, or should, leave this forum. That being the case, it seems to me the best course would be for us to make every effort to be civil, and return to ideas instead of insults. I have stepped over the line many times with you, just as you have with me.

The forum would be a better place if we both just let it go. Actually, this has been going on so long, I don't really know who started it. It might very well have been me.

I am willing to forget the bad blood, for the sake of the forum. We have mutual friends, so there must be something worthwhile in both of us. kk is correct, this has ceased being fun.

For me, da eina. That's all, it is finished.

I return to:

Respectfully,

Joe Ribaudo

You are a jerk Joe, and the forum lout. Whatever mutual friends you think we have tell campfire stories about what an idiot you are. The sad thing is you havent a clue as to what I am talking about.

And kindly stop your obsession with me. Every other post (sometimes paragraph) mentions my name. Whats WRONG with you? I am not going to be your friend, I am not going to be civil with the likes of you, I am not going to discuss anything with you except to tell you to seek some sort of therapy that you so obviously need.

And lay off kk. Shes not me, imbecile. You are sick, and need help.....

Peter,

That's a whole lot of demands.

I did not ask to be your friend.

kk can make her own demands.

I have no "obsession" with you.

I mention your name because I am not a child.

Even an "imbecile" can see that you are addressing your posts to me, without saying my name. (Childish)

You are childish in two languages, proving a point I made earlier about the results of some people's education.

You are correct that I don't know what you are talking about. I count that as a good thing.

It would be a lot easier for everyone Joe if you would just take your graffiti and post it in your own moderated fourm area. That way you and "All of your friends" wouldn't have to put up with the rest of us either.

You have your own corner, go sit in it.

Well, "regular people" I believe Wyatt.......finally has a few more of his dogs barking. You can take comfort in the fact that someone has finally noticed the family resemblance. 8O :lol: Are you all sharing that campfire that he, who is nameless, mentioned? :lol:

Joe,

Does it make you feel better to lump everyone that disagrees with you into the same camp? It's hardly the case. I have never met Wiz or Peter or Wyatt. Never shared PM's or email with any of them. Whatever their beef is with you, it is an individual thing and in no way related to mine.

You have openly attacked and attempted to smear the reputations of several men that have chosen not to participate in this site in part because of your childish games here.

Several of these men happen to be close personal friends of mine. Men of whose caliber you will never reach or ever understand. If you suddenly increased your wealth by 20 fold, you still wouldn't even be able to buy your way into a friendship or even a conversation any with them.

You are a childish backstabbing phony Ribaudo. The kind that takes cheap shots at people that are not present in an attempt to draw them to this site to play your childish games with you. The fact that they do not speaks volumes for their maturity and highlights your lack of it!

Don't think for a minute that they are not aware of your insults and comments. You have come very close to crossing a line that would result in slanderous litigation against you several times, but you are such a coward that you are afraid to spit anything out clearly and prefer to just make insinuations that you leave yourself room to wiggle out of.

They're watching and waiting for you to blink, and when you do, you will be getting your conversation with them! Make sure you bring your checkbook, it could be costly.

children....you cant be insulted if you dont pay attention to the insults....this forum was started so we could talk about the LDM..not to bash each other..we all have our own opinions about the LDM...and we are entitled to them...no need to get upset because you dont agree with the way others think.....if you dont like the way some of the members answer the posts ....dont answer them back....just remember..it takes 2 to tango

"I did not ask to be your friend."

THAT'S THE REAL PROBLEM HERE. YOU CAN NOT DEAL WITH THE FACT HOW YOU ARE LOATHED ON THIS FORUM...AND AROUND THE CAMPFIRE.

kk can make her own demands.

I MADE NO DEMANDS FOR KK. LIKE THE SELF-CENTERED FOOL YOU ARE
YOU AT FIRST CLAIMED THAT KK AND I WERE ONE PERSON. THAT IS A JOKE, MUCH LIKE YOU ARE THE FORUM JOKE.

I have no "obsession" with you.

OH PLEASE. DO YOU LIE IN BED AT NIGHT AND THINK ABOUT ME? SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOUR THOUGHT AND EMOTIONAL PROCESS. I URGE YOU TO GET THE PROFESSIONAL HELP THAT YOU SO URGENTLY ARE IN NEED OF.

I mention your name because I am not a child.

YOU MENTION MY NAME CONSTANTLY BECAUSE YOU ARE SICK AND IN NEED OF HELP.

Even an "imbecile" can see that you are addressing your posts to me, without saying my name. (Childish)

YOU ARE BEYOND IMBECILE AND WAY BEYOND CONTEMPT. YOU ARE A SICK, TWISTED INDIVIDUAL.

You are childish in two languages, proving a point I made earlier about the results of some people's education.

GO READ SOME MORE BOOKS , TUBBY. THEY WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.

You are correct that I don't know what you are talking about. I count that as a good thing.

STOP TALKING TO ME. STOP TALKING ABOUT ME. STOP MENTIONING MY NAME OR REFERING TO ME AT ALL. DO THAT AND I WILL BE ONLY TO HAPPY TO COMPLETELY IGNORE YOU AND YOUR SILLY, BAITING, RIDICULOUS, INFO COLLECTING POSTS.

HEY I HAVE AN IDEA...WHY DONT YOU GO POST SOMETHING IN THE "STONE MAPS" THREAD. THAT WAY YOU AND YOUR FAN CLUB WILL BE ABLE TO AMASS ANOTHER 10,000 VIEWS, MAKING YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND ALL YOUR CRACKER JACK THEORIES.

Sounds About Right To Me.

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

DED,

OK, sounds about right to me. Do I need to post another message to "he who shall remain nameless", making the same offer I made earlier, or will you just act as the go between here?

A "complete prick" you say? I suppose that could be considered a compliment, depending on the degree of knowledge on that particular subject of the person delivering the pleasantry. I assume complete means it just don't get any better.:)

You had nothing to say when the "regular people" where calling me every name in the book. :? Tell me something DED, what did I say that made you decide you have had enough of my "obsessive" behavior?

I will not return the "for my own good" name calling. If I have made one really big mistake here, it was being better at calling a spade a spade and sticking pins in the "regular people".

Speaking of "regular people", if I use Wyatt's.....name, does that mean I am replying to him? If I just don't use his name, like "he who shall remain nameless", does that mean I am not really insulting him?

These boys don't really need your help here, my friend. They can handle the required insults and name calling by themselves. Some can even do it in Western Apache. I am not saying that they did, only that they could, and that takes a certain amount of talent.:wink:

I conceed that I may be the whole problem here. It may be that "he who shall remain nameless" is correct about me and my friends. You did seem to pounce quickly at the oppotunity. I will, once again, try to ignore the "regular people". Did you want me to include you in that group? I have need of some help in sorting them out from the true assholes.

I hope you do not consider this post to be mean spirited. It's meant to be "a friendly message".

Thank you for your concern.

Respectfully,

Joe

chaa eyaa,

I have no problem with that deal. Does it count if I don't call you by your name, don't address my comments to you and only insult what you have said to others? I accept that deal right now.

I will only return to you what you give to me, minus the name calling and offers for whatever......in Apache or English. I am not really interested you know.

If you keep making snide remarks about me, not using my name of course, I will ignore most of them and only answer (in kind) when you get too comfortable. You will know I am speaking to you when I say:
"he who shall remain nameless". You seem to think that makes the person you are talking about invisible. Hopefully you don't really believe it does.

I will give you the last word here, as I know you MUST have it. Fine.

see what i mean? for a start im not a "go between " for anyone. "i had nothing to say when regular people were calling you every name in the book"? you said..im sorry i dont quite see your meaning..you may elaborate if you wish..
i never at any time said id had enough of your "obsessive behaviour" your behaviour obsessive or otherwise doesnt really affect me one way or other in truth.
my point is , that yes games are being played here, everyone knows that, yes people are digging at you ,everyone knows that too, yes theres a "tagteam element here also..but if a guy (same as a woman ) dont wanna talk to you then there comes a point when you gotta say ok..the altewrnatives are pointless...your attempts at trying to curry favour with certain people are getting painful to watch.thats all....and how many times does one have to make apoint before it registers or before it sends people to sleep?
the thought of "helping the guys out" didnt evencross my mind..im not on anyones side.as for including or not including me in any group, thats a decision for you....i dont regard myself as possessing. a "herd mentality" anyway.
ive been "got at" too on here..insulted by a few (including you) and apart from a temporary response ..thats where it ends with me....you carry it on through eternity.
why not just carry on posting normally? youre far more knowledgeable on the subject( if indeed it is one) than oany others on here,..and forget the petty (why wont they talk to me" ? nonsense..
im not sure who "the man with no name" is...peter?...
i suppose youll think im having a go at you but im not....leave it at that.....this forum rarely if ever has any thing interesting on it anymore..which is a pity....cos at 1 time it did, now all thats here is loonys like wyatt and personal rows that never end..oh wats the point?
good bye

IF THATS WAT U THINK ....i was waiting for the chance?...to do what? im not saying your post was incoherent totally ....but some parts of itt were a tiny bit creepy. as far as present evidence seems to indicate, it might appear that this forum has a few "members" who might be suitable applicants for any vacancies that might arise at the state funny farm...... :lol: as for being an authority on "complete pricks" yes i am...i got my training and experience on this very forum listening to drivel like this. :lol: ....................................sigh.........UNBELIEVABLE!

No offense taken. Remember, a good many of the "regular people" believe you are me. No need to come down to hard on yourself. :lol:

By now most of you forum folks realize that Joe and his alter ego DED are in reality the same person. The nutbag is just playing good cop/bad cop with himself to make it look like he has some vestiges of sanity left.

Nutbag?

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

OK DED,

How about some more advice. Should I answer this asshole, or just ignore him. He has made it plain what he thinks of me, and thus, what he thinks of you.

For some reason, he has decided to make his comments using my name.
I guess my calling him a child worked. Funny how high he jumps when I pull hard enough on his strings. He even talked directly to me in one of his posts. 8O

To tell you the truth, it is getting way old. I might back off a little if they weren't so easy to deal with. Peter thinks his mindless chatter and accusations bother me. I only respond because they are such easy targets.

The question that comes to mind, DED, is: If I don't respond to all this slime, what will the people who are outside this little circle think of me?
How do you take a beating, day after day, and ever have any respect for yourself? Take Wyatt......for example. The guy has taken the worst beating I have ever seen, and just keeps coming back for more, like a dog. Is that what you believe I should do?

No need to answer, I will just do it myself. :lol:

Respectfully,

Joe
