Kind words on the PA board

I hadn't checked out the PA board for a while so I just did. Once again I was dismayed by the errors in grammar and complaints from people who filed sloppy manuscripts and now are crying about the errors in their books. But for sheer nastiness, what could top Rudy's reply to someone who said on the spiritual board that he is a pagan and was wondering if there were others on the board? Rudy said this:

"Hey Mac: I think the thread for you is The Lonely Hearts Club. Otherwise, you want "pagan", just pick up any popular magazine or, for that matter, any fiction rated as the New York Times Best Seller. You will have "pagan" coming out your dumb-ass ears. Take a walk. This thread is not the place to air your problems with life... You want to debate? email me anytime...Rudy"

Ah, Dick, stay here.

Remember we aren't supposed to talk about people on other messageboards here. It is difficult to avoid sometimes.

That person, and two others are beyond what is wrong with the world today. In a weird way I think they keep that board in line and perhaps help PA in the process. If anyone questions anything, the three are on them like stink on sh**. Disagreeable posts or posts that may be bad for the business model are dealt with swiftly, but usually only after the OPs have taken abuse from those three. Whether people have errors in their books or not, no one should have to take such abuse.

They caused a lot of heartache for me and friends. And I feel really bad for those on that board that still have to deal with them. But there's nothing I can do about it.

They are cruel and heartless, but never fear, I think Karma is one mean bi*ch and will deal with them accordingly.

Stupidity is its own reward.

I went back to see if there were more comments and apparently the thread has been deleted. Now I wonder if it was because of the original post or the comment.

Those three have a way of making threads disappear just as fast as Infocenter. I have often wondered if that was their original intent. I began many threads that were purely innocent. One or more of them would come along and ruin the whole thing until it was locked or deleted.

I think those three can get by with a whole lot more than the average poster.

After reading the original post here from Dick, I checked out the PA message board and found the original post, but Rudy's post had been deleted.

Here is an example of Dick getting away with anything. I got thoroughly trounced for posting quotations having to do with the gentleman in question, from the board in question, just the other day, as Carol mentioned above. Merri, you were quite displeased, as I recall.

Dick, how do you do it?

Ann, you are absolutely correct. What tripped me up with Dick's post is that it wasn't in those little white quote box things and so I didn't even think about it being a quote from another site, even though he stated so right in his post.

It is indeed something folks on this board have said they don't tolerate.

You are right Merri! Dick goes his own way as far as posting about PA is concerned. I've asked him not to do it.

Ann actually gets the credit for this one, Shelagh, as I seemed to slumber right past it. I think I would make a terrible watchdog. Ha!

We love you anyway, Dick. don't change!

Ann

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but Dick is immune.

I'm sorry, Shelagh. The devil made me do it. He also made me check there again today and notice a thread headed "New Arthur." Anyone can make a mistake so I called it up. No mistake, he's still a New Arthur on his post.

I apologize again, Shelagh. I try to be a nice guy, I really do. Jackie will tell you I'm a very trying person.

... I think I figured it out.

New Arthur ... a relative of Stephen King?

Nope, a arthur is a writter, a pearson whoo writts buks and artyles and such stuf that other pearsons can red.

I knowed what it were purty fastly whin Dick brang it up.
