I think that many of you have gone way over the line! this says it all
all i ask is try to curve what you say.
ps if you think of these people as your family then i hate to see how you really treat your real family at home!”

“Swat! Swat-swat-swat-SUH-WAT!”

“aaaaahhh

“Creation of multiple off topic threads within a short time period

“well do i?”

“Boo Hoo, I respect your opinion. It is just that I personally believe you are annoying as h@ll.”

“I'm still waiting for even one bacpacking related post from you Boo Hoo. Of course, that's going to be a long wait since you've obviously never bacpacked once in your entire, albeit very short, life.”

“sorry but i have nothing to prove to you or any one else!
and why do you care if i do or dont? do I reply to topics that dont apply to me? NO
do I reply to topics that i dont know anything about NO
what about you? do you reply just to see your screen name pop up?”

“Go read little one. It would do you a world of good.”

“Skully, you seem to be letting this "BooHoo" thing get to you.

Nothing personal, just wanted to make sure you are aren't stressing out and going nuts or anything. Hopefully you get to go hiking this coming weekend.”

“Who is this "Boo Hoo"?”

“Excellent work BOO HOO. There's only one problem, matt is basically an absentee webmaster who doesn't appear to give a hoot over his own terms.”

“Who's letting anyone get to them? Who's stressing? The poor thing is just looking for answers it can get itself. I'm just encouraging it to do just that. It's a shame you don't know me MDSHiker or you would know better than that.”

“Just calling it the way I see it.”

“Like I said...”

“Hey Boo Hoo --

When you are seeking to go on the offensive verbally . . .it helps to have a grasp of the language.

One does not "curve" what one says, however, if one was so inclined one might, "curb" what one was going to say.

FOr instance . . .I might curb my instinct to call you a moron devoid of all intellectual content, or I could just go ahead and do it.”

“yeah....what lee said.”

“It would be best to ignore posting's such as this. Boo Hoo's probably is gettin-off on ticking you off.”

“See, now that's what stressed looks like. Lee, no more coffee for you!”

“Hey BOO HOO –

Why don’t you go get high and masturbate or screw a farm animal? I understand that people of your ethnic and religious background do that stuff all the time. If you keep this stuff up, you’re apt to get your ass kicked.”

Well, first off
you should learn where to put your caps.
second, you should learn to end your questions with a question mark ?
so please dont throw stones in your glass house!”

“Boo Hoo, it looked to me like lee was making a statement, not asking a question.

Sort of like in a juke joint in Lower Alabama when someone says...

You need an @ss whoopin

Now that is a statement, not a question.”

“I'm pretty sure that wasn't a question. I'm also pretty sure you're either a high-school student currently or a drop out.

Either that or you're just a complete idiot.”

“if he had said Do you need a ass whoopin then that is a question”

“What? BOO HOO is The Governor of Montana?”

“not in LA, it means you would still have a statement that someone is about to whip your @ss”

“Its obvious BooHoo is some kind of troll. An ugly, ignorant, imature troll just trying to get us all worked up. Kill him with kindness :) and maybe he'll get sick of us and go away.”

“Trail Mojo

BOO HOO, you don't have to cry about it!”

“Nice rock! LoL”

“And a low murmer spreads throughout the onlookers...

"Trail Mojo!"”

“gee what happened to your FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
you seem to want to pertect it
but when someone else tries it you all go nuts
well i just dont get it.
well you seem to insist on taking this wonderful forum and turn it into something nasty. to bad that other forums run there sites better then this one. maybe you should visit some and see how REAL ones work.”

“boo hoo = imahiker.com????”

“Let's take your premise that we should all be talking about things related to backpacking, BH. Now let's add in the fact that this is most comparable to a campfire circle, and we're all friends.

Here are a few points:

1. If you have nothing nice to say, shut up.

2. If the conversation does not suit you, you have the right to pack somewhere else.

3. The whole thing is implausible, because you haven't shown that you're smart enough to survive in the wilderness on your own.

4. If this were really a campfire circle, someone would have slapped you silly already.

5. You have yet to add a single thread that has to do with backpacking, and therefore, you are a contributor to the problem you are decrying.

Do you have anything useful to add?”

“uumm
would this fall into this?

"Posts that express physical or verbal threats towards another poster"”

“It's not a threat,,,,it's a statement of fact.”

“Probably most persons have experienced the effect of tears in relieving great sorrow. It is even curious how the feelings are allayed by free indulgence in groans and sighs. A French physician publishes a long dissertation on the advantages of groaning and crying in general, and especially during surgical operations. He contends that groaning and crying are two grand operations by which nature allays anguish; that those patients who give way to their natural feelings more speedily recover from accidents and operations than those who suppose it unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as either to groan or cry. He tells of a man who reduced his pulse from one hundred and twenty-six to sixty in the course of a few hours by giving full vent to his emotions. 'If people are at all unhappy about any thing, let them go into their room and comfort themselves with a loud boo-hoo, and they will feel a hundred per cent better afterward.' Then let the eyes and mouth be regarded as the safety-valve through which nature discharges her surplus steam.

"Posts that express physical or verbal threats towards another poster"

No. A threat would be someone telling you that they were going to slap you silly.

The above was hypothetical.

It would be a very different thing, were (notice to the mentally challenged: this is also hypothetical) I to tell you that I would hunt you down and slap you. That would be a threat. I would never do that on a message board, or in person. It gives the intended slappee too much warning.”

“PO-NEE! PO-NEE!”

“BOO HOO = Gregor von Dorset?”

“well i went back over and checked out how many times that i have been recv'd a threat
the total is 15
it seems that some people can not carry on a proper converstaion without having to threaten them

"Posts that express physical or verbal threats towards another poster"

please go back and check it out for yourself if you would like too.”

“BOO HOO, are you a masochist? Clearly you have observed board content, so what did you expect?”

“Maybe dursban will kill it. The flyswatter seems ineffective.”

“FG, I would try some malathion....”
