I'm afraid to say boo...as I know he thinks he has stuff on me and would just be slander and I just want to stay out of the fire as I'm sure it wouldn't be pretty on both sides...





cluey?? thoughts....since his post says your on his good side???





also...I'm highly thinking of stepping down from being a mod....I don't have time like i used to ...I was thinking of handing it off to another cooler....

whats weird about the cooler is all the crossed paths of the circle of friends and how its a constant tangled mess...

I mean at times...I get along with everybody...at times...I can't stand somebody or heck for that matter anybody....than at times..I'm back to thinking hay...I love everybody...its just a big circle...

I mean its a big circle....for example....

jake likes brad...

brad like me..

I don't know if I like jake....but i'm not rude and won't tell jake i don't like him cuz well...I don't know him....I mean seriously I see him 12 nites a year if i'm lucky...so I really don't know if i like him or not...

sure I'll have a beer with him and than ignore him the rest of the year...

come on, kitch. grow a nutsack! :smile:

j/k i understand. as far as saying anything, that's what we have the coolercrewmoderator account for. i don't wanna say anything as myself either, largely for similar reasons. not slanderous stuff, just that he'd think it was a vendetta on my part.

kinda what i ws thinking....

but seriously the more i read that...the more i think he just needs to change "grow a nutsack" and "we almost" MUST take out thx, scribe stuff out...its on the verge ...granted we all "somewhat" know the truth..its wrong to have it posted here....

and fwiw...jt does still read our threads..

that was one of the other things i was thinking was a violation. wrt thx and scribe, for most of us that event is hearsay. dunno if it is for jake or not, but its just horseshit to have it aired out here (and over in the welcome home thread for that matter). i know full well jt reads the threads even though she doesn't. hopefully brad will chime in tonight, but if he hasn't by morning, i'll scrounge up the moderator password and do the editing and message. thoughts on what to say in the message?

oh and kitch, as far as moderating goes, we didn't have to babysit last year, and hopefully we won't have to this year beyond this. this thread has been dead for a damn long time. personally, i can't see the time commitment.

Just got in here. Real busy lately.

I haven't said anything yet but I lost my job on Monday. I haven't been totally unemployed since before I was 18 years old. :confused:

It just goes to show you that you can work your way right out of a job once you become 'too' valuable. I just cost them too much I guess so somebody had to be the hit.

Anyway, I see myself having some time to deal with this shit on the boards since I don't plan on even looking for another job until after the hunt anyway. One nice positive.

Jake is just hurt since he just discovered the Invitational thread of PF from years ago where he apparently wasn't invited and is looking at everything through the keyhole. Which always increases sensitivity.

Personally the nutsack thing doesn't bother me. What rule does that break? Maybe the phishing rule? But it does bother me about the dirty laundry. There's a no mod thread where he can go if he doesn't want things moderated. The moderator should edit the post and let him know. I'll deal with the welcome thread since we don't need that stuff 'welcoming' anyone into our little world.

Nutsack = vulgarity. And of course Jake has to remember that jt was the one controlling the door to that thread.

 i redacted the entire section about thx and scribe as well as the one regarding aw. i certainly can't figure out a single word to replace nutsack, and since its too late for jake to edit the post himself, i pulled the entire section. i left the numbers in place as they were (skipping the sections that were removed) and sent the following egram as the moderator:

Jake, your post was reported to us as a violation of the Cooler Crew Code of Conduct. After discussion, we have determined that portions of the post, specifically the comments regarding THX and Scribe, and those telling AW to "grow some nutsack" were indeed violations of the code. Please ensure that your further participation in the Cooler Crew forums conforms to the Code of Conduct. Further violations of this code will result in sanctions on this forum.

head

on

fucking

desk.

1. I said nothing in that post that isn't true (to my knowledge).

2. As this is not a free service, it is illegal for you to ban anyone who has paid or is willing to pay.

3. I find it absolutely amazing that some are given scrutiny while others are not. In reading the past forums, I was called an alcoholic (not true) a compulsive gambler (not true), and no one was banned for that. Yet I make statements, that are to the best of my knowledge 100% true, and you are all over my case. I hear some of you were using the word "defamation", maybe you should learn what that means before you use the word. (If you say something that's true, it isn't defamation) I seem to remember that Ares thinks he knows quite a bit about law, ask him.

4. Did anyone say a word to Kitch about his rant the other day? Didn't think so.

5. As a group, you guys really need to think about what you do and how you act. You wonder why some people can't stand the group as a whole?

6. When the Cooler Crew took credit as "one of their own" finding the medallion, I didn't say a word, NOT A SINGLE WORD. So before you go around acting like a bunch of dictators to your poster boy, you should look at how other members of the group are acting. And one more thing, if anyone wants to discuss this with me, post it where everyone can see it, I will respond to all PM's here in a public place where everyone can read it.


1) you know for a fact that aw doesn't have some nutsack? the truth defence to defamaion goes away on that one

2) no one is talking about banning you from ableminds. incidentally that's the service you pay for, not the cooler crew refugee camp.

3) there was no moderation system nor code of conduct in place back in those days. there is now. deal with it: behave or get out.

4) can't say that i know which rant he's talking about.

5) the group is responsible for the actions of the individual? ooooh kay.

6a) i don't believe that as a whole we look at him as our poster boy. methinks there's a bit too much ego there

6b) stand on top of a mountain. bitch, piss, and moan in the bars about how evil we are, but when you're in these parts you will conform or you won't be around these parts.

:: gets off soapbox ::

thanks for letting me vent. although ironically, when i put my moderator hat back on, i can't say that moderator ares would say much different. we as a group have decided that there will be standards of behavior here, and anyone who doesn't follow those standards is not welcome.

what now?

in other news, i was thinking about the welcome home thread the other day. do we really need to have that folder? in particular, is there a reason we can't put that thread in here with an open access list of its own and link to it. then when someone becomes a paid member the world opens up? might be worth a try before march when things come up for renewal.

Hi Hosts - Do any of you have thoughts on the recent open use of swearing on the boards? Thoughts?
Mon, 01/18/2010 - 12:25 AM Permalink
KITCH

we have no kids here....

our thought was because we would...

but IMHO...I think mabye we should consider censering it....

I honestly was a little upset the nite of the predig. We as a group disrespected a bunch of hard core coolers. I mean the music was to louc, littleman's swearing on the mic, etc...I could go on but not worth the time at this hour...or week.
Mon, 01/18/2010 - 5:20 AM Permalink
Terry

We may not have kids posting, but the medallion hunt is a family event and kids may very well be reading over their parent's shoulder.

Maybe just a reminder of that when we see it happening would keep it down.

Kitch, being you brought the PDG up, I will just say this. I wasn't offended by anything. I don't get offended easily and I tend not to want to say too much about swearing and noise at a bar setting as I realize I'm not so young anymore and it would come off like some old prude putting on Elizabethan airs. :smile:

I appreciate that Lilman is willing to do the DJ gig for tips.

Inks and I went upstairs to get something to eat, Allison came in and joined us before going downstairs and soon we had Mucky, Kitch, Ian and Greg Sax join us for a bit so we ended up staying upstairs longer than I had first thought. What I truly enjoyed about that is that we could have conversation and actually hear each other.

When we did go downstairs and Lilman was asking everyone to be quiet and started swearing, I thought for the purpose of his announcement, the swearing was out of place.

Then the music started up again and the opportunity to actually have conversation was gone. Inks tends to get headaches with loud music and for me, the fun of getting together is to actually be with everyone and catch up with folks we haven't seen in awhile.

There were people in attendance that I didn't know and had there been the opportunity to meet and greet and be able to hear what they said, I would have.

I enjoy music, but I also enjoy talking with people I know and meeting new folks. It's the latter I realize has the greater appeal for me and I miss that. I wonder if others do as well.

Our PDG used to be about the people gathering.

I wonder if anyone would be offended if there is to be music, if that would start later.

And we need to find a better location for this event.

it takes a lot to offend me too (anyone who knows me knows that i have the potential to make longshoremen blush), but you're right, this is supposed to be a family friendly event and some people are more easily offended than us. perhaps a gentle reminder in the thread header to keep it clean? although that is rather hard to do considering ma press herself dropped a big old f-bomb in the bleepin' video.

 PP Boards

Rob spoke with PP this morning and they just want to let it die out...I guess they have had a few hundred calls from people who want to sue the paper because of alleged cheating!!!! So I send this to you but I think we should not get our Cooler friends riled up and I think it would....Before you post anything can You Please talk to Rob and Jake first...Letting them know you requested the info....

FROM ROB: If you are that bothered by it why don't you call them and ask. They asked us to be there by 3:30 and we were. They also posted online that it was found within 45 minutes after we found it and updated the hunt hotline. FROM BBMTN: So you won't explain why the let you break the rules then! I am so shocked that you can't and won't explain. Your mother's explanation for you was equally priceless. (He couldnt have cheated because he is my son! Cheesy) How about you explain why your God Jake LIED and took the money?

I bet there was a time when you told people that you were going to stop sniffing glue. Care to explain why you LIED about that? I bet there was a time when your Mother told everyone she would abort you with a rusty hanger. Care to explain why that slut LIED about that?

FROM ME: You wretched A$$... You have nothing but MEAN running through your veins....You need to look in the mirror and take a look at the vile person you rally are!

FROMBBMTN: I really don't have a problem with Rob other than the fact that he associates with a famewhore and proven liar like Jake! Rob does alot of the work and then Jake Ingefamewhore goes and shows off and tries to take all the credit. Even Rob's Mother agrees with me on this one.

Quote from: Brasscat on January 29, 2010, 01:48:13 am As far as 2007 I know "on The Level" was on the Level. Jake was the third party to know of Rob's noodle. I was the second...His Mother. Jake says: "I found the medallion!!!!" in front of a huge crowd just letting Rob be next to him like a little sidekick. And Rob just accepts it!

FROM ME: Again... You twisted wretched person.... My point was there was no conspiracy.. my point was I knew about 2007 2nd. JAKE FOUND IT WITH ROB!!!!!!!!!! THEY HELPED EACH OTHER!!! IT WAS TEAM WORK!!!!!!!!!

FROM BBMTN I love how the pioneer press let Jake bend the rules. I also love how Jake LIED and took the money in spite of what he claimed before. Jake is a pile of douche.

I know Rob and ESPECIALLY famewhoring-Jake are upset about this thread and the rest of the posts all over this board about Jake being a liar and a cheat and I'm sure Jake wishes there is some way he could do "damage control" to help maintain his z-list image.

Sorry Jake....no damage control for your famewhoring fatass....your "win" is TAINTED!

Jake REALLY worked his butt off!!! The PP Editor jizz is STILL dripping out!(and of course Rob has his mouth wide open trying to catch the PP Editor jizz out of Jake's a-hole!

Yeah, I bet your nuts are delicious too! Fuk you Rob and Fuk Jake even worse! Don't you get tired of being his little "sidekick"Huh(B***h) Have you even sucked your savior Jake off yet?Huh I doubt it. I bet if you call him "GOD" he will finally let you drink his spooge.

MY POST: You people so full of hate is unbelievable to me. As far as 2007 I know "on The Level" was on the Level. Jake was the third party to know of Rob's noodle. I was the second...His Mother. I know I was not to happy that Rob told him...but it was meant to be period> Just because I am his Mother I can already her your reply that I am "in on it to because I defend them. WHAT MOTHER WOULDN'T! I know there was no cheating because I know my Son! Let go of your hatred it will eat you up inside. I don't really care if where it's coming from, but as a Mother, a person, another Human being you should all be ashamed of yourself for being so self righteous. If you really think they cheated let the big guy upstairs take care of it...or rather when you get to the pearly gates one day ask him if they cheated. I am sure there are bigger fish to fry and things to answer for on your own behaviors over your lifetime than "If they Cheated". For crying out loud this is just ludicrous.

Oh no!!! Rob Brass told his Mommy some people on the internet were not being nice and now she is here to fix it all by shoving her COMPLETELY UNBIASED Roll Eyes opinion down the naysayers throats. After all....Rob Brass is HER SON so OF COURSE no cheating happened!!!!(Yes....she really did have the nerve to say that!) LOL Whatever!

FROM ME: You people are unbelievable.....It's 3 in the F.... morning and I'm sure he is in bed sleeping.... I am scanning the boards all by myself to collect memorabilia about my son ...quotes and so forth to keep in my computer and I run across this BS.....Rob nor Jake have nothing to do with my posting GROW THE F.....UP Get a Life!!!!!!!!! Take your filthy mouths, attitudes somewhere else.... Karma is a B....h and you people will have plenty of it coming your way....In fact the next time something happens in your life that really sucks and you ask yourself what did I do to deserve this...and then you hold that mirror up and look at yourself in your face remember REFLECT BABY YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF! I don't need my sons approval or Jakes to post on this board and I am not fighting on there behalf. I am doing this all on my own as I feel personally attacked.

FROM RANARUTH: I certainly wouldn't want to read the crap posted on this board about my own child. There might be more posts from the nuts, but there are more individuals who have sent congrats to the winners. Sounds like you raised a good son and congrats to you on the upcoming arrival!

I read some of that.

The problem with sour grapes is that in today's anonymity on the internet, people think they can and do say anything they have an itching to say.

There are always those who have something negative to say. I've seen some hateful comments about the Cooler Crew over there as well, but that's there problem. We know who we are and what we're about.

Those who wanted to look at what was on the PP boards, they can do so. No sense bringing any of that here.

exactly. i went up to jake on sunday, and even though i can't stand the guy for a wide number of reasons, told him that the bs that goes on with those sob's over on the pp boards is totally uncalled for. its probably mostly from people who didn't bother to get off their asses and get out in the parks.
Mon, 02/01/2010 - 8:29 PM Permalink
Terry

I think from reading what I did over there, the biggest problem was that they didn't take it into the PP right away even though the rules said they should take it in in a timely manner.

Then from what I gathered, Jake called in and told them it was found. Later the PP called him, I think to let them know when the press conference time would be. The fact that others knew he had been called by the PP made it seem as though there was some conspiracy. I think most of them didn't realize he had called them first and so the assumption is that it was the first call.

Even the old PP board had some unpleasant remarks made regarding Jake and Rob finding it again.

Sour grapes. Nothing we can do about it.

Yeah it's a sad situation that I don't want to subject myself to. There would be no response that I could post over there that would make a bigger impact than no response at all.

Sour grapes. Nothing we can do about it.

wrong. nothing we can do about it there. but, as was evidenced by the fact that we had people show up at the rehash who were pissed at the bullshit on the pp boards and consequently paid up accounts here in ableminds land, all we have to do is be good ambassadors for ourselves.

sue and i were talking about the pp boards the other day. i hang around and promote am before the hunt but once the hunt actually starts i disappear just because of all the middle school-esque drama that goes on there, completely unchecked.

I agree. All we can do is be good ambassadors.

There are always the comments about the Cooler Crew being a bit clicky, but by making people welcome and comfortable with the Crew, we can change some of that negativity.

Does anyone have any objections to moving the Welcome thread to this main folder? I really don't see the need any longer since there really wasn't that many new faces that posted in there even if they used it as a resource to find their way in. I'm sure newbies could still find their way in through the performance threads. Thoughts? Its $20 that I don't really have but I don't want to trash the thread either since its the first one created within AbleMinds.
