What did I miss?
| Monica Oct 5, 06 - 7:09 PM | What did I miss? Hey everyone! I was on the EW board early today when the recap first got posted, but I'm sure my comments got knocked off pretty fast with all those transient weirdos (I'm with you guys, where the heck did they all come from?) posting their transient weirdo hearts out. Anyway, I left the office early this morning. My dad had to go to the hospital, so I went to be with him and then take him home. He got stung by a bee at work yesterday and apparently it was a dirty little bee carrying some wicked staph bacteria on its stinger and now my dad's arm is thoroughly infected. They thought at first that they would have to keep him overnight, but it was not as bad as it looked. He got released, I took him home, had the celebratory anniversary dinner for my grandparents, and here I am. My question is... What did I miss on the board that you guys are so worked up about? Who was being rude? What went down? I want details! I also want it to be back to normal on the board with us regulars, the usual lurkers, the occasional pleasant passerby, and a couple of jackasses just for a little change of pace from time to time. This rapid fire posting by strangers needs to stop! |
| Lady-in-Gray Oct 5th, 2006 - 8:10 PM |  Re: What did I miss? For the most part, it wasn't fun. Way too many nasty, hostile people. And way too many rapid-fire posts. It was hard for me to keep up with it all.  |

| Lady-in-Gray Oct 5th, 2006 - 8:49 PM |  Re: What did I miss? GB: If I remember correctly, someone took a particularly ugly shot at you!    |
| LOSTbean Oct 6th, 2006 - 4:48 AM | Re: What did I miss? mon, i am glad your dad is ok!  as for the EW board, i will continue to read it cuz good stuff comes out of it, but i hope we can get some discussion going over here too. |
| Greybishop Oct 6th, 2006 - 6:09 AM | Re: What did I miss? Lady - I don't mind the shots. Most of the time, they're so poorly spelt, poorly worded and poorly aimed that it's almost too easy to return fire... Almost.  |
| jas65 Oct 6th, 2006 - 6:58 AM | Re: What did I miss? Lady - that was a particularly nasty shot at GB yesterday. Smacked of jealousy to me. Monica, the EW board got pretty ugly. GB did get some shots in, though I think most of the people being shot didn't realize it. Not enough intelligence. It was rather amusing, but I swear if I read one more complaint about the commercials..... |
| Lady-in-Gray Oct 6th, 2006 - 7:08 AM |  Re: What did I miss? One of the guys did a nice job of putting the commercial issue into perspective: We were so into the story being told that it just SEEMED like there were more commercial interruptions....  |
| Greybishop Oct 6th, 2006 - 7:41 AM | Re: What did I miss? jas65 - Too subtle? I just thought it was too early to haul out the fruitcake catapult... |
| jas65 Oct 6th, 2006 - 7:50 AM | Re: What did I miss? GB - not always too subtle, but some were definitely over the heads of the mental midgets out there. |
| Jess Oct 6th, 2006 - 10:49 AM | Re: What did I miss? Monica said, "I also want it to be back to normal on the board with us regulars, the usual lurkers, the occasional pleasant passerby, and a couple of jackasses just for a little change of pace from time to time." Sounds just like the characters on LOST. There's Jack and Kate as the regulars, Sun and Jin are the passersby, and Sawyer is the jackass that changes things up! I missed any and all shots that GB may have taken on the EW board. I seriously cannot imagine anyone having any issue with GB! What is there to not like? Seriously. GB, you've never been anything but courteous and welcoming. Blow them off.  |
| jas65 Oct 6th, 2006 - 10:52 AM | Re: What did I miss? Jess - I don't think the shot bothered GB at all. I think Lady and I were more offended for him than he was! Obviously he's very secure in himself. |
| Greybishop Oct 6th, 2006 - 11:27 AM | Re: What did I miss? Secure enough. Once or twice last season someone "got to me", but it's rare. It was usually a smackdown when I started to get too high on my horse and subconsiously knew it. Keeps me on my toes... So far the current crop of trolls on the board are just small fry, almost not worth the bother. I will be doing my best to stay fair and reasonable I appreciate the support regardless though! |
| jas65 Oct 6th, 2006 - 12:26 PM | Re: What did I miss? GB - I think that shot yesterday was completely out of left field. Obviously, someone took offense but I still can't figure out why. Anyway, I'm glad you're able to shrug most of it off. Just remember, you have your GB'er posse ready to defend and protect. |
| LOSTbean Oct 6th, 2006 - 12:29 PM |  Re: What did I miss? GB-i got your cyber back and had i been on when all this drama went down, it would've gotten ugly!  |
| Greybishop Oct 6th, 2006 - 1:16 PM | Re: What did I miss? Thanks guys. Nice to know that there are people out there willing to back me up.  |
| Lady-in-Gray Oct 6th, 2006 - 1:36 PM |  Re: What did I miss? GB: We don't like it when people mess with our friends! I would have said something too if I had been on the board when it happened.   |
| jas65 Oct 6th, 2006 - 1:46 PM | Re: What did I miss? I immediately asked the nasty poster why he/she/it would say something like that about GB. Apparently, somthing was more important than standing behind his/her/it's opinion. I never got a response. It was so-way-out-there. I can't even repeat it and I'm not a shy person. |
| Greybishop Oct 6th, 2006 - 1:55 PM | Re: What did I miss? Jas65- You're sweet. No biggie. I've been called worse... |
| jas65 Oct 6th, 2006 - 1:59 PM | Re: What did I miss? GB - I've been called worse myself, just never that publicly. I keep trying to tell myself it's all pretty anonymous. |
| Greybishop Oct 6th, 2006 - 2:05 PM | Re: What did I miss? The trolls aren't likely to realize (or care) that a bunch of us "know" each other from long association here and at EW. They'll probably be surprised when they get multi-flamed after an attack on one of us...   |
