Very cool thread. It's neat to scroll through and see so many original members in here. Glad I got to be around, online at least, for the 'golden age' of the huddle. What was the site everyone was on before Jeremy created panthershuddle.com? That's where I remember starting.

 

I was away for awhile at one point, and one question I've always had was, what ran/kicked ClayJ off? I know there was a big fiasco, but I wasn't here for it.

Gah, I love gmail.  Makes it so easy to track down old ass emails... here's the email exchange between me and one certain individual of leather jackets, awesome sunglasses and finely made glass sculptures...

 

From me:

 

This is dimbee.  Just wanted to say sorry, dude.  It was never my intention for you to take my ribbing of you personally nor to drive you away from the site.  I don't think you're gay (and, quite honestly, I never called you that- you're confusing others with me on that one).  Just wanted to apologize to you. 
 
Take care
 
From said poster:
 

And you DEFINITELY called me “pedophilic”, which is much, MUCH worse. And that poo got indexed on Google and other search engines... right now, if you Google “clayj”, you’ll easily find a reference to your dumbass thread about my avatar being “pedophilic”. It’s gone from the Huddle now because I asked Ms. Skyy and Kurb to delete it, but now I have to deal with the very real possibility that someone out in the real world will see that reference in a search engine, make a connection to me, and create a real world problem for me that involves law enforcement... even though I’ve done NOTHING wrong (personally, I think pedophiles should be killed slowly and painfully). What you call a joke could very easily become a nightmare for someone else.

So until I know for a fact that I’m in the clear when it comes to your moronic actions (i.e., referring to me or my avatar as “pedophilic”), you can keep your apology.

I want you to think about that the next time you think about calling someone gay, or a pedophile, or anything else that might get them into trouble. Words DO have meaning and consequences, and I refuse to be associated with anyone who apparently doesn’t put one iota of thought into the possible consequences of what they write. Val deserves more of an admonishment than you do for calling me gay, but you get the full credit for the pedophile comment.

 

Ahhhh.... mammaries

Some of you may have been wondering why I haven't been posting at all for the past day and a half. The reason is simple: I've been debating as to whether I want to remain part of this community. After a LOT of thought, I've decided that it's better for me if I leave, for good. This will be my final post here on the Huddle.

Certain people here (Val, Dimbee, a few others... you know who you are) have continued making "jokes" about me being gay... this despite the fact that I have politely asked them not to, more than once.

Now, before you label me as humorless, I want you to understand that I do have a sense of humor about myself. I've been picked on here for being a geek, for having an art collection, for not having a girlfriend... and I was totally fine with all of that. However, I've made it clear that my sense of humor about myself does not extend into statements, joking or otherwise, concerning me being gay. For the record, I am not gay (and you can take that "methinks you doth protest too much" crap and cram it up your ass sideways, TC), and any speculation about whether I am because of the decor of my condo is stereotyping at its worst. (Dimbee... I'm sure your gay brother would be proud of how you really seem to feel about gays, based on some of your posts.)

I've also been accused of having a double standard when it comes to this, given my repetitive jokes in the direction of Jester (concerning his sheep) and JR (concerning his sexual behavior). The difference is that these two fine individuals, for whom I have a lot of respect, have apparently consented to this sort of thing... I've never seen either of them protest when a joke is made at their expense, and I've never had a single negative thought towards either of these two guys. If either of them ever had said "hey, please don't joke about <x>", I would have stopped immediately... and I would have expected the same of anyone here when I did the same thing. I admit that my sense of humor about myself may not be as fully-developed as it is for other people... but I doubt that certain people here (Cooter, for example) would put up with someone making jokes about THEM being gay. (Even if I am wrong about this, it still doesn't excuse what's been done.)

So, I want you all to know WHY I am leaving... and I want to be very clear about this. It's because of the inconsiderate, immature behavior of assh*les like Dimbee and Val, who just can't leave well enough alone when someone politely asks them to stop doing something. Now, if they were anyone else here (Charlottenian, for example), I would do to them what I did to Charlottenian for a while: Set them on Ignore. Sadly, these two jackasses are moderators, and therefore they cannot be Ignored. Since I cannot Ignore them, and since they insist on continuing to behave in a manner which completely pisses me off, the only solution left is for me to take my leave of this site.

Before you think this is all negative, though, I want to say "farewell" to a few people:

Zod, JR, Jester, NH, Ms. Skyy, Livermush, Cooter, Monkeybutt, CosmoGirl (the only Huddler I've ever actually met, to my knowledge), Cyberjag, Mr. Scot [and Quak and Fox], Tweeder, Anavax, Ladyvamp, Alverez, GTG, Sunbunny, Squirrel, Dawg, Buddha, Duekster, Solorca, Cptx: I enjoyed hanging out with all of you, even if it was just online. (I'm sure I've forgotten some people. Forgive me, please.) Maybe I'll see some of you at the Panthers games... look for JOHANSON 37. 001.gif

Charlottenian: Good luck with med school, but dude... stop boasting about your parents' house and cars and bidets. 002.gif

Alan Ford, KK, Delhommey, and Wedge: Get a clue, will you?

Val and Dimbee: F*ck you, assh*les. rock.gif

One final note: I came here from the Charlotte.com forums, which are heavily moderated... and found myself in a place that is almost totally UNmoderated. I think the Huddle would be a better place, one that I'd like to visit, if it was better moderated. Ms. Skyy is a good mod... she steps in and cools people down when a thread gets too hot. For that she has my thanks. Moderators are not supposed to alienate the people they're moderating.

So anyway... I've had a lot of fun here these past 7 months, but it's not fun anymore. I don't want to be here if it's not fun for me.
