I'm going to the Timberwolves game tonight, so it will be close getting down to PP tonight, I should be able to make it.

Pretty sure I'll be down there tomorrow also.

Still fighting off a little cold so I want to make sure it's gone for the truly late nights to come.

For the record I decided a while back that people posting on here would be the ones with profile blocks.

Why? Because for those of you who have noticed the avatars on there are hot linked to Ableminds.

What purpose does it serve to show someone a face, picture and avatar of a person not posting on the boards?

I've been moving so many things on coolertimes that his name simply got forgotten to be added to the list at the bottom.

Of course a simple email or egram would have fixed it. But I can see how a little bit of drama in the middle of a hunt would be much more effective.....

Effective for what I'm not sure. But whatever it's purpose I hope it worked out for you.

well for whatever reason someone thought they had for deleting/editing bears post-it was just plain mean. I miss bear and its a bummer he had to feel excluded. How would you feel if someone did that to you?

If for some fluke reason it wasn't any of the moderators OR somehow an accident....

bottom line is that sometimes there are some of us who want to tell our friends something that is killing us inside. Sometimes its a struggle to show vulnerability. What happened when Bear reached out? Unless youve really felt this, don't dare mock it! There is a time for pushing buttons and goofing off - this wasnt one of those times.

It hurts it sucks

sorry it happened to you bear

the only ones that saw this phantom post are redbears friends, so maybe it said more than just cancer, if it was truely his last post and he was upset about his mom's cancer he could understandably vent some anger at people he didnt like. it is possible that it was deleted by mark or tim who occationally watch over the threads here.

I thought CoolerTimes pictures were for anyone Cooler Crew who wanted them up. I didnt know it was for only the people who post regularily. Thanks for clarifying that OTiS.

that is absolutely NOT TRUE tim

he wants to be apart of it- he felt really excluded -

tim_the_hunter

I dunno, I saw him take a parting shot at the cooler crew when he said we weren't worth the 10 bucks. To me, that's not a way I say I want to be a part of something.

It wasn't his last post. It was a day before his last post which was a result of the disregard given to his situation. Part of the reason for his not feeling welcome here.

he was saying that why should he pay $10 to see people bash him, mess with his posts or make him feel bad-

The parting shots, as you call them, were a direct result of that disregard.

He never said anything about editing his posts anywhere.

Never heard anything about posts editing until yesterday.

Which is again why I asked... why is this being brought up now and not on January 4th when it occured?

tim_the_hunter

ok, OT I think the gig is up here.

you're saying that he has a post about his mom having cancer in the things that irritate you thread for a day and a half?

I call shenanigans, there is no way it was there that long. Bottom line. Now if he felt bad because his post got deleted, now that's a different issue, but most people didn't see this mystery post you and the rest of the puck posse saw yet no one else did.

I didn't see it - only heard about it and recently talked to him and found out why he wasnt around -thats part of why it was brought up now-

we usually dont notice someone not around posting in the cooler for days on end before we realize theyre not here. Especially the ones that dont post on a daily basis.

I never saw the post, that's why I didn't comment.

There's a lot of stuff here I don't read.

It wasn't intentional toward Redbear.

Happy 30th Birthday RedBear

Refer to posts 622 and 623. That's why it is being brought up. I was attempting to explain why he isn't here any longer.

I saw that part when I got home last night OT. I mean before yesterday. Nobody ever said anything about him having had an issue.

Can't address or fix or figure out things 3 weeks later when people have no idea something happened.

OT

I never said that it was up for a day and a half. He doesn't sit here all day. He was confused that there were no posts regarding his post when he came back the next day and looked and it was gone. That's when he posted his last post.

please take this somewhere else...

this is not the thread for this...

I will personally go on record that I will lock this thread...

I never saw the post...and this is the reason the mods are in place....nobody was told about this.....its not our fault...this is weeks after the fact...

why do you think I really questioned as to why redbear was doing the walk...heck I thought he had the breastcancer and really didn't wanna go there...I just kept it 2 myslf...

the last thing I saw was he said he just got back from the hospital and going to do the walk....

Why can't this stay in Bear's hunt thread? It's not a Winter Carnival thread.

And the editing of my post was called out shortly after it happened. So it's not old news.

Huh ares?

Does anyone else see a return link when checking a quoting post? I don't know if I've seen that before. Kinda cool. Liking the new 'recent discussions' dealio on the side of the top folders.

I think this is seriously pointless...

redbear didn't wanna pay $10

but he also didn't wanna take my extra $10...

I don't know why he left...and I will not speculate....

What I don't get is, why would anyone edit/delete these posts?

Can Mark/Tim figure out what happened?

it doesnt matter when a problem occured but that it gets mended as best we can

I want to trust that when I post, someone won't mess with it.

I don't think there is much more we can do about it but hope his mom will be alright.

you're missing my point, kitch. go back and read my blurb about ot's post having been edited. what's done is done about bear's post about cancer with his mother. but someone did an unapproved edit on ot's post.

I'm still confused on what you're trying to show here ares.

And I think the motto of the Crew is something about you can leave but whatever....

Wasn't that a post addressing Tim's comment about Bear leaving? OT?

Is that the recent post in question? What was changed?

His mother had surgery and is starting radiation, me2. I'll pass on your concern.

If there was a cancer post mentioned by anyone in here, I'm positive there would be a flood of support responses. Where are any of these. I mean come on people. Our crew is a pretty understanding and thoughtful bunch. If one of us says we have a hangnail there's always plenty of support posts to follow. Where are these? Was it deleted right after it was posted? Did anyone comment on it? Didn't those who originally see it even comment?

I want to know where this occurred. I spend way too much time on here and don't claim to see everything posted but I think I would have seen something regarding somebody mother having cancer.

no, cm. there's a removed sentence from there. quoting terry's post: "Replying to: OT (Jan 23, 2006 4:22 pm)

I brought it up because Kitch said he quit. He didn't quit any more than AW quit. But..."

the but started a sentence about aw being listed on coolertimes, while bear was removed from the page (incidentally otis, there's an awful lot of people who you have listed with avatars who aren't active on am). where'd the "but" sentence go? someone edited it out.

Oh, I see what you're talking about now. Weird. That's cool that it saves the original quote. I wonder if there's a way to see the whole original post using Terry's reply post?

You didn't edit that OT?

I do know that of you OT. I would think someone would have said something though.

I do hope his ma does pull through. This will understandably be a hard time for them.
