OT: orb n stuff
by Mike VandeVelde 18 Dec '04

18 Dec '04

wow how deep n stuff man. i love the off topic wandering. i don't want to push it down anyone's throat, but if hearing an opposing point of view gives you heartburn then you've got a problem. but anyway, the way i see it we've got lurking lazlo, bit's o info rachel, jc the vinyl wizard, and our beloved benevolent smiley the actual news hook up, who basically keep this list alive. if any one of you tell me to mind my manners i'll pay close attention. but i'll speak my mind anyway - censorship sucks. the internet is freedom - if you consider yourself a member in some kind of elite then there is a never ending frontier where you can always go off and create your own community. i love the orb list the way it is and i have loved it for however many years it takes for me to be cool. i am cool. muwahahaha. if you want it to change in any way then lead by example or take off you hoser eh. imho. lazlo this list is yours and i pledge alegiance to your orb kingdom. give me an assignment and then don't bother yourself thinking of that person anymore ;-) this list is a gold mine and you'd have to try much harder than that to get rid of me. i've just got an opinion that's all. thrash, go nuts and add me to the list of people you email when you attempt emailing the list. you have yet to offend me. there's the gauntlet. bbroo, gel sol, psychic warrior, i knew of you guys before you were famous, hook me up back stage at the stadium. everyone else keep loving whatever part of the orb it is that brought you to this virtual space, even you that dude with the elvis song, i want the gold battersea shield. i should wait till after christmas is paid for tho. how long do you think i have? will i be able to show my face at list functions with only a silver edition in my posetion? np fantastic plastic machine - take me to the disco, malibu mix

What are the badges for? Like you can pin em on your clothes? >au contraire - I've been here for years and I think it is/was the right >thing to do. >Ted Well, thanks for the comment ted. I'm celebrating 6 years on here. Within the last week Thrash talked about somethin where Ben Watkins being present as he made some song they ruined. And how he thought Toxygen was rubbish. Then he talked more about the FFWD session and his adoration of Fripp. I wasn't even posting then, not for at least a month, just lurking and sorting through everything for such tidbits. Then when someone tried to complain, I became furious still am. Now I'm on moderation and although Thrash is "free to post" he has been scared away and my opinion censored. I wanna read more about the couch they mixed FFWD on and the blowing smoke in the DAT and the water from the river ganges in the pond and stuff.. -- http://hydrallus.blogspot.com

au contraire - I've been here for years and I think it is/was the right thing to do.

What is Lazlo compensating for by invoking "emergency moderation?" too funny. When the nerd from Charles Schwab steps in and cuts fans off from an actual member of a band then its cause for mutiny. OT or not, you are making a grave error. Anyone else see the self-defeating result of this? Do we want new people to step in and tell us what we have been reading for 10 years is too revealing and lively and therefore should be censored? _______________________________________________ give back you slags: http://mentor.org _______________________________________________ kermit kerm for children with special needs: http://www.heaven666.org/images/own3d%20by%20kermit.jpg _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com

Recent list mgmt issues
by Ernie Longmire 15 Dec '04

15 Dec '04

For what it's worth: The Orb list was temporarily switched to moderated status over the weekend because people started complaining about the volume of off-topic flamage that was being posted. It went back to open posting on Monday, except for a handful of people who had been posting personal attacks on other list members. Those folks are on moderated status until they've demonstrated that they can go a few days without trying to provoke people. They could have been banned from the list altogether, and *will* be banned in the event of further abuse of the list as is provided for in the posting guidelines. (Guidelines: <http://www.studio-nibble.com/lists/guidelines.html>) Regarding Kris and his fans, nobody's been cut off from anything. He had a couple of offtopic messages rejected over the weekend, as did everyone else who attempted to post offtopic messages over the weekend. He hasn't been booted. If he posts or lurks, stays or leaves, it's his own decision. Finally: most listmembers, myself included, have no problem with the occasional drift of conversation into non-Orb territory. Protracted off-topic arguments, on the other hand, should be taken elsewhere. I have no doubt there's demand for a place where Orb fans the world over can join in good fellowship to argue about health care, corporatism and Noam Chomsky whilst quietly giggling to themselves at the secret thrill of calling one another "naughty" words in public...but that place is not this list.

Ditto. All hail Lazlo. I don't mind seeing some OT stuff. Keeping it to 50 items a week seems reasonable.
