people_who_infringe_upon_blatantly_personal_thread burden should be fed to Rufus and a lemur. 010624 ... Dafremen You rang? 010625 ... kasmocky left a burning lunch sack at the door for you Mr.duck dafre 010625 ... Casey But here there can be no personal threads. What you post here is for everyone to see and comment on. If you only want to talk with certain people,. then use e-mail. 010625 ... silentbob i agree with casey. if its on blather you have to allow people the option of posting their 2cents whether or not it has anything to do with the topic. thres just not control. 010625 ... Dafremen So what you're saying then S.B is that, intent aside, I CAN'T really infringe upon blatantly personal threads here? Well sh*t. That's no fun. (P.S. I keep a fire extinguisher by the front door for just such an occasion kasmocky. The aforementioned lunch sack is on it's way to YOUR front door MARKED RETURN TO SENDER via U.S. Postal carrier. Enjoy!) 010625 ... burden See the thread entitled "Jodi" to understand what I'm talking about. I realize that what you post is public domain, but my example is clearly, uh, egregiously misplaced. I don't know. I'm tired and it's only a quarter to five in the afternoon. Strange. I'm just sticking up for yoink, basically... he's a good lad. 010625 ... Dafremen So was the dog that played lassie all those years. I always wondered why they never showed Lassie squirting a tree or something. Guess it would have been kinda hard to explain how a "lass" could piss on three legs. 010625 ... User24 ok, I agree with the "Jodi" example, that's pretty damn private, but, if you want to make a private room, you could call it eg: "this_is_a_private_room_dont_enter" or "kasdhasiudyasiudh" maybe in the first case, human curiosity would overcome some people, but in the second case, well, yeah ok, same again, i mean, lets face it, if you want a diary go buy a book or get some free webspace with angelfire or something, no? But all in all, I agree that it would be cool to be able to have private blathes (or at least read only) and i totally sympathise with yoink. Yes... 010705 ... Dafremen There's a simple way to do that: Encrypt the text using a key that only the two individuals know. Give the ecryption/decryption key to only those people that you want to share the blathe with....course it would be time consuming as hell. 010705 ... black-dyed gel product why don't you cry about it, pussies 010706 ... bloody potato chip i like to pick corn out of midget's poop 010707 ... redneckk eat my shit 010707 ... firehunden fp upi ,rsm dp,ryjomh ;olr yjod? good idea... nobody will ever figure that out (not). this is not a private place....it's a cesspool of irrelavant communications. 010707 ... pinkish oh shit. This is lame. Nothing is personal on here. *pft* 010707 ... pinkish and nothing is sacred, either 010707 ... User24 damn, firehunded! O yjpihjy yjsy esd pm;u idrf nu ,r! 010709 ... silentbob dear dafreman, i know it was like a hella long time ago that you responded to that comment i made up there, but now that ive read it again... what i was saying was taht, Yes you have the right to infringe on personal topics because the original blatherer has no control. I meant the exact opposite of what you thought i said 020307 ... misstree it's a right, but from reading the jodi thread, well, it kinda was ass. i was really getting into just being able to see inside yoink's head, watch things pass... it detracts from the beauty, somehow... it is a right, but it is not right. make sense? ;) 020307 ... phil It;s to tell people like that they are being retarded when they take it as a compliment. I would quietly kill him though. I support of yoink 020307 ... somebody irt's HARD to tell people like that... 020307 ... dumbass retard 020307 ... blown cherry probably almost everyone has their own private corner of blather, I know I do, but I don't mind if anyone reads it, particularly if they like what they read, though it's really pretty nuts. I have an awful habit of seeking approval of my existence. Someone did blathe on it really early on, but it's all encrypted or something weird and I don't understand it anyways. They're absolutely right though, if you think you're going to get really stressed out about someone tagging their comments on the end of your brain then post it somewhere that they can't do that. 020308 ... silentbob maybe these are some unwritten rules of courtesy for blather or something, but seriously, casey had an association too, it isn't fair for yoink to be the only person to type there. it just isnt fair. 020308 ... little wonder there are probably several blathes that are personal to someone. but what if that word or name strikes a chord with someone else, and they want to write something? even if it hasn't by touched by anyone but soandso for months? you can't get angry at them for doing so. blather isn't a place where you can claim certain words as your own. 020308 ... silentbob Amen sista 020308 ... Syrope I think its a worse infringement if you go and read and then slink away. No one knows u were there, but if you leave your mark..are you really infringing?? *infringes like a wildwoman* 020308 ... phil I think stupid people are just going to write stupid things in stupid places 020308 ... blown cherry hmm. I think phil has something there. 020309 ... burden I think purple dogs are going to construct angry afterthoughts in rotten meadows. 020806 ... Photophobe hmm I think burden has something there 020806 ... Photophobe hmm I think burden has something there 020806 ... silentbob i agree photophobe i think what burden has is an awful bad case of attention defacit disorder. have you taken your ridalin lately, burden? 020806 ... dB Posting on blather is like going for a leak with the door unlocked. As it should be really. I mean, is there anything in anyones head that is so bad that it should live forever in the darkness of the brain? How long was it until blather achieves conciousness again? When this happens I wonder if it'll ever need to pee. 020806 ... tourist I write all my real personal thoughts on brown paper bag scraps.Then run them through a shreader burn them and scatter the ashes on the outgoing tide. Safety First. You can't be TOO Careful. 020807 ... phil yes.. but if we just keep peeing in eachother's mouths, won't one of us explode? 030214 ... rubydee i know i about wet myself with that comment. 030705 ... z blatant·ly adv. Usage Note: It is not surprising that blatant and flagrant are often confused, since the words have overlapping meanings. Both attribute conspicuousness and offensiveness to certain acts. Blatant emphasizes the failure to conceal the act. Flagrant, on the other hand, emphasizes the serious wrongdoing inherent in the offense. Certain contexts may admit either word depending on what is meant: a violation of human rights might be either blatant or flagrant. If it was committed with contempt for public scrutiny, it is blatant. If its barbarity was monstrous, it is flagrant. ·Blatant is sometimes used to mean simply “obvious,” as in the blatant danger of such an approach, but this use has not been established and is widely considered an error. dictionary.com 050808 ... meta meta 051213 ... TCMT Well, I would think that posting something on blather meant that the person wanted their thoughts to be seen, no matter how personal they are. Blather seems like a place to me where people go to say things openly that they can't say in real life. I might infringe on a couple personal blathes myself...but not with the intention of being intrusive. Its kind of the expectation when one posts something on bad. It will meet an audience if it is interesting enough. Maybe disclaimers might help with that problem. 090905 ... daf S'Bob. I know it's a long time since you wrote that response to what I said. But I understood you. I was joking about the fact that if anyone is allowed to respond, then it's impossible to infringe. You can't infringe without there being a boundary to cross. THat is all. Good shit. 160717 what's it to you? who go blather from
