Jwhop's absence = more peace and quiet

Disprove it. If it's not a truth it should be easily refutable.

I think that's it for me. My point has been made quite emphatically in G.U. since Jwhop left. This happens every single time without fail. It is predictable, and it is attributable.

Oh, and for the record, my point in this thread has never been to, "Cheer his absence." I merely wanted to take an additional opportunity to point out what I was speaking of previously, because a few people seem to have mistakenly thought that what I was said was opinion, when in actuality EVERY time Jwhop leaves there is a noticable and marked change in atmosphere.

A lack of jwhop is a lack of growth.

How else could ones ego get so merrily jacked out of shape, long winded discourses written, and an attitude of "jwhops the culprit" exist without him??

But, with regards to his/her participation in LindaLand and all the flaming posts, I am to agree with Acoustic God, Jwhop's absence = peace, especially in a forum like Global Unity where the most damage has been done. The way I see it (purely personal), Global Unity should be a forum for promoting unity not dischord, and looking at all the threads started by Jwhop, and the kind of language used, I will have to say he/she needs to refine the presentation skills, perhaps Jwhop didn't mean to be so harsh and mean. Blame it on the words.

Then you have not read ALL threads started by jwhop.

A blanket statement like that is very disturbing and untrue

As I told, nothing personal, but when participating in an online community, words needs to be addressed properly. Just because we can't see someone face on, doesn't mean passing all derogatory comments and one sided arguments.

Nothing personal ever taken.

I agree with your statement I quoted here.

ALL should be used to mean ALL not some, most, many and soforth, yes?

To use it incorrectly would negate any appearance of objectivity.

(edited to add, nothing personal ment simply a general observation)

I find it odd that you're a moderator and your always leaving little heart messages for him. So what if he's not here? It's a webpage. You'll live.

posted May 09, 2007 03:45 PM              

well, really, why would that be wrong? is there actually something that says moderators can't date site members?

there was a public relationship in the mists of long ago here between Randall and a moderator. i don't think he'd so publicly flout his own rule, if that were the case.

i don't know anything about Lalalinda's or Jwhop's personal lives, but if they wish to conduct a romantic liason, good for them.

the world could use some more love.

the complaints here about Jwhop's style of communication are many and nothing new. most of us have at some time requested he tone down his fiery rhetoric.

however, don't you think an appropriate response is to give love?

fighting only engenders more fighting.

People that are posting HERE condemned me for doing it and now I am witness to the hypocritical BS.

Jwhop hasn't even had the chance to post here, in his defense or otherwise. I could see if he posted and said something offensive then counter-posts would ensue. That is not the case.

WHAT if something has happened to him? Is this how we act?

Jwhop is just as polarizing as most of us here. BR, AG, Mystic Toliet paper, DayDreamer, Dulce Luna, naiad, myself, Isis.. we have ALL said things that offended someone else and we have all been guilty of hurting another's feelings.

YET... the stones are being thrown from the guilty at someone that has never pretended to be anything but a strong force and a loud roar here at GU.

Blech.... grow up people.

posted May 09, 2007 04:41 PM              

is the irony here apparent to anyone else?

if we're going to complain about Jwhop dominating this forum with his overbearing presence, should we not be taking this opportunity to conduct the civil and polite conversations that we all so desire??

hehe...

he's not even here, and his presence still dominates...

posted May 09, 2007 05:30 PM              

i'm sure Jwhop enjoys the chance to flex his muscles with you as well.

you haven't been disruptive...just vocal.

posted May 09, 2007 05:58 PM            

Pid I somewhat resent being lumped into your group. I don't think any of us are as polarizing as Jwhop, and I think most people would agree with that.

True, the people you all mentioned are very political, I'm very political and put a lot of emotion behind my beliefs, and this is something I"m working on toning down a bit. I agree with AG in that it's not quite as extreme as you're making it out to be.
