To all these people whom I have called names and offended…Matt never gave names just said that he received a ton of e-mail from many members..(Paraphrased)
So if you did or did not send those e-mails to Matt does not concern me. If you did then fine you deal with yourself. If you didn’t and acted like a free American then pat yourself on the back.. Either way QUIT SENDING ME PRIVATE EMAIL DECLAIRING YOUR INNOCENCE IT MAKES YOU ALL LOOK GUILTY!
I will accept PM containing pretty girls cars or beautiful mountain scenery however. I just bought a nice 5-1 and can now scan pictures of Oregon right back at ya.

Ok Matt...
As I stated earlier I did not know the entire scope of this event. Just what I could piece together through the boards, And of course what private e-mails OLA shared at the swamp.(dissemination of PM should be Jail offence)
It seems to me that Ola was being punished for his abusive personality. That is censorship. Laugh all you want but it is what it is. You graciously allowing them to plea for leniency is nice yes. Separate you from other web management of course. Butt still does not detract from the fact that you are censoring with some cool out time… No cuffs no listing as a prisoner it seems you are using the honor system with Ola.
If indeed he broke TOS like he did a year ago guessing passwords then throw the book at the bum. As for extremely harsh words...Ola used to refer to me as a child molester because of my religion. Yes at first it really pissed me off but when I started thinking about the comparison I found those words to be as enlightening as Hegel’s Religion the Opiate of the masses. The key is to disassociate you personally from the words and extract the meaning. I mean hey both religion and child molesters have the same motto...get them while their young!
As of now I guess he’s on a boat somewhere wont be back for a couple weeks to months. He mentioned at the Corner bar he was looking for work. When all is said and your whiners complained about nothing much really.
And just to make myself perfectly clear, I never condoned his behavior I just feel everybody has the inalienable right to be an asshole.. I assume that is why you tolerate Joe Money and probably myself. If other assholes go around complaining about the smell, then they are infringing on my right to be an asshole should I so decide to be one. That is not right.
Hey I said if YOU personally feel he deserves to be here then You the man, and so be it.
As for the swamp don’t think I was speaking for them. I did write that post was my opinion. The only thing about them I will say for sure is that the battle between the swampers and management that censors AltaVista/Lycos has been many.
BTW Matt…Your hands on so to speak is the reason why I stayed when the rest of the exodus took place. Beta testing and poster numbers is what drove most away not ola or censorship. Freedom to be an asshole should never be infringed.
Long live the smell.

Welcome NW,
Nope didn't ask but I did tell.
Once you publicly post something it becomes fair game. My telling you was out of courtesy combined with hope that you would come and clarify...
Please feel free to restate your position. Although you may get grilled, it will not be held against you. Can you stand the heat?
And yes the game begins….Moohooohahahaha
Paule is Walnuts
That is cool Fred I respect your opinion..
My interactions with Ola have been harsh to say the least but through it all I found that I have learned a lot form his chicanery and basically all around uncouth behavior, If nothing else how not to be, socially. Although sometimes. I digress..
I think my point has been proven at least semi correct. I am not the only one who has recognized the lack of participation on the boards since Ola was jailed. The overall connotations go way beyond that of individual distaste and board congeniality.
As I posted on the Hangout board, hypothetically speaking, if I want to call you a name for presenting what appears to be a sub par discussion on your behalf than I should be able to express myself without fear of reprisal.
I think Ola came off with a good presentation at first. I then feel his position degraded, as did the rebuttal arguments they addressed. I found both parties to be so solid and vehement in their beliefs that indeed the debate had subsided with one side posturing as the other stood poking fun. If indeed this behavior was so abhorrent to these people, then unlike yourself who seemingly allows others to be the jerks they want to present themselves as, why did they sit and engage Ola with no end and then like the word and thought police try and control his behavior? Is that not the exact same behavior? In my opinion if OLA goes to jail then all parties involved should go with him for all intense and purposes inciting him on by simply responding. When you ignored him did he violate any TOS by board stalking you? Or was it over? Seems to me it was over.
You may have, and apparently so, disagreed with everything that Ola presented. But you still allowed him the freedom to be what ever he wanted to be. These people did not. Not speaking for them but apparently they think they have the right to dictate other peoples behavior. I do not want to be involved in a community where this is the case.
You and others may have perceived Olas behavior, reprehensible, however as pointed out earlier others perceived differently. No matter what feeling may have been there was still nothing simply ignoring him couldn’t fix…
In this area Matt has affords me the courtesy and freedom to express myself. I try and keep it to forum and not abuse this privilege. If and when I do abuse this, I expect Matt to act appropriately, ONLY if he thinks so and not because others do coerce him into it. When you silenced Ola you in essence spoke for me dictating to me what you feel is appropriate behavior and instilled the standing threat that if I go beyond these limits you will banish me. Why would I or anybody else for that matter want to operate under these conditions? What gives you the right? I thought Matt Is Alpha Dog around here?
Repercussions, The Hangout had Ola to thank for me adding it to my favorites list, now I am going to remove the Hangout from the list. If this draconian method of thought and speech control continues and spills onto the boards I manage or frequent then like I did Lycos my only recourse will be to leave Ihub all together. Matt capitulating to the squeaky wheel is simply not conducive to a sustained community of mass numbers. Pretty soon only the people with like mind will frequent the place and numbers and traffic will slowly disappear until Matt has lost his baby through boredom. Lycos RB is the perfect example. I will not recommend that site to a single soul. As Of now I am recommending Ihub to everybody I know on the Internet. It takes many people like me to build and attract mass people. Thanks to the Hangout Matt may have just lost two of them. I wonder how many of the new Swampers will stay here after they just fled from Lycos for the same exact reason? Possibly the Hangouts bitching and moaning may have just cost Ihub the loss of 9 posters right off hand that I could name due to Ola’s banishment. These people may not like Ola shenanigans but they detest censorship even more so. Lycos swamp did not see a post for several days because they were all here. I come back from vacation to see new life to that board. Meanwhile Ihub swamp is a little quiet…
My investigation as to why, has led me to this debate you and I are engaged in now.
Of course this is all my opinion and should be treated as such.
Paule is Walnuts
What?
Did the grossosity of this story detract form the humor involved?
Paule is Walnuts
Yeah I warned ya,
It's not the prettiest thing, and I did little in my story to glamorize that’s for sure. But just remember these pigs are out of control and cause countless millions of agricultural damage yearly. They are the utmost in pests and no matter how many hunters you have out there banging away we can do not much more than semi-control the numbers.
There were five piglets with my pig and Pres was getting ready to drop nine more. Two pigs that would have bred yet again this year.
Hunting is hard work but extremely fulfilling. The reward I think far outweighs the ugliness.

By NorthWesterner...
Should the US should nuke the entire Middle East, turn the sand into glass, and wipe out both the Israelis and Palestinians?
We would have to take some heat from the world. It would be ferocious for about a week, probably involving an Arab oil boycott for about a month until they realize what happens to their lifestyles without our money, but the whole thing would die out in six to twelve months. After all, we're still the world's only super power -- what can the worrld do> And that will be a lot less time than we'll be dealing with this mess if we let it go on.
And a lot cheaper -- think of all the money we send to Israel and how much that could support Social Security.
What do you think. Should Bush order the strike?
NorthWesterner
We have a politics board that I manage and know that ALL opinions are welcome. No one will end up in Jail by my hand there... I am bringing this post over there and will comment on it later today or in the morning. Peace.

Yack at ya later...

Sorry NW I might say something that offends somebody here and get my ass thrown in jail.. Nope I think I might take this board off my favorites list.
Gee and I had several more stories about duct tape to tell.
Paule is Walnuts
Hi all back from the hunt...
Beer please..Yeah I said Beer. One of them Windmere Reds from Oregon will do.
Had a blast but good to be home. Got my pig. The story is over at the swamp..Be careful it might be a little gruesome..
I'm glad to see all the cheeriest faces and sad to see one missing all locked away in the jailhouse.
I'm buying a round for everybody! And Carolyn get that Barbecue lit up I've got us a barbecue special. Roast pig and good booze for everyone. Oh what Fun!

Nice observation Sassy. Sad. Really Sad. eom
Paule is Walnuts
Matt, Free Ola! Free Ola Free Ola Free Ola Free Ola Free Ola Free Ola Free Ola,
One last time,
Matt Please free Ola.
First let me say I have really no clue as to what transpired in the last three days both on the boards and in private but the gist is that OLA on off topic boards is pissing people off enough for them to wine to you like three year old children. “If this be the case”….
Off topic is off topic if stayed within context of that particular board no harm no foul let the thin skinned lick their pussies and cry to mommy. Quit coddling them or they'll start to think they own you..Matt.
IMHO if this was an issue with STOCK BOARDS then by all means throw the book at the SOB. But Off Topic boards...Let the Chairperson decide if he's staying within context and censor what he feels are inappropriate to that forum. IE talking guns on the Auto board. Calling someone and Idiot is simply no reason...Wipe their butts while your at it.
I have been here a year now right Matt??? I have watched just about every Tom Dick and Harry try and tell you how to run your site. Individual Disclaimers were my favorite.. And I will not presume to do such now. I think it is wrong. You have the investment they do not. Simply posting for years or starting a board buys little more than the acknowledgement that that individual has little else to do with their time. I think it is embarrassing for any individual to publicly do so. Do the crybabies feel they have a victory where before they had none? How are your hits or web traffic now that OLA is gone? More or less…don’t you get your advertising money through web traffic?? Are these whining crybabies making you money or causing you the loss of??? You know me Matt I actively try and influence people to pay for the PRIVELAGE of posting here, A far cry from a year ago where I lambasted SI investors for shelling out. It’s a way of further enjoying myself with new traffic/people and a little payback for you as well.
This petition to release Ola should be viewed as just that. You make the rules and Paule abides with your decision. I simply do not feel Locking Ola up is a good one. Let the crybabies wallow in the illusions of their own self worth and release Ola for the good of Ihub!
And I really do not Like Ola all that much ya know!
In complete respect and sincerity

It's hard being a cold-blooded killer. There is nothing than can prepare a person for the gruesome reality that results from inserting your firearm behind the ear of your victim. The blood and brain back spraying all over your gun and arm almost to your own face. The pink and purple goop that oozes onto your shoes as you stand and stare at the collapsed body, you have just ended of life.
The chase of the dogs as they 'bayed up' on one of the five little piglets combined with the squealing as you fly almost straight down a steep hill chasing both dogs and pigs through all obstacles, trees, rocks, thorn bushes dirt and rocks while picking up the deadly tick along the way, send the waves of adrenaline fueled excitement coursing through a sore body and tired mind previously filled with thoughts of another unsuccessful pig hunt. .
The squealing of the little pig as the dogs pinned and nipped at its flesh. The watching of the guide grab and restrain the dogs as he tackles the little pig because you were too slow, almost ten yards behind in keeping up. A long cold stare into the eyes of the little piglet you are getting ready to take the to take the life of. A reassurance from myself to the guide that this is indeed the desired quarry, and then
BAM!
.
.
.
.
.
It’s over! You have become a pig killer!
Even harder to deal with, yet another long distance missed shot, at the mother of that piglet you just took. You could argue that it was not your gun, winded sweaty and shooting from the hip. You could argue a lot of things. But when it comes right down to it, instead of shooting over the shoulder, at 250 yards, I should have hit that big fast moving bitch! Instead of having to chase down the 60lb barbecue special I ended up with.
I tell you it’s hard. But you learn to get by …You learn to get by….
….
Oh Yeah and Pre shot a 250 pounder in another canyon about 15 minutes later. But I’ll let him tell you all about that!
All together we shot 1 rattlesnake and three pigs. Pres was the biggest followed up by the 175 to 200 lb mother of the 60lb piglet I shot. My guide after 10 hours of solid hunting and having fulfilled his obligation to me still had enough in him to run over to the canyon by Pre and take it for himself. Good for him. At that point I was too tired to care and happy that big bitch didn’t get away. That will teach her not to jump into my bullet. No pictures though, too dark by the time we got the pigs back to skin. Had to hang them up in the tree and skin them by truck light.
1400 miles, a 60lb barbecue special, a victory beer, a good marinated caribou dinner with Pre and wife, some nice wine, two overturned cars, one squashed rabbit (oops), a rattlesnake tail, a matching set of deer horns, enough bugs to cause me to stop several times to clean the windshield (which is a story in itself), a nasty tick, combined with the most important fact of my wife being able to join me for this years fun and joy, left for some good good memories that I will enjoy for years to come.
It’s good to be home back in Oregon where I belong!

Bull...I am a pacifist. Violence is always the last resort.
Like that Tomb raider chick...Low and quick for the draw, those 7 ½ inch barrels on them hog legs are hard to pull out with speed when carried traditionally.
I also carry it in my Bandolier holster across my chest, Or under my right arm, as I’m ambidextrous.
I do not use the hand cannon for defense...I have a CWP. I do sometimes carry.
But mainly I rely on my 162 lb Rott for early warning detection system...Phone in all bedrooms. Police on speed dial, Fire escape bars on the basement windows. Get past my dog and you have 3 minutes before the police arrive and a couple of 18 1/2” 12 gauges to deal with.
Anything more might be thought of as obsession. I like to live life, not be afraid of it.

Actually Ola, I'm just thanking them for all the contributions they have made here.
Who am I running from? You quit all discussion with me regarding God. A waste of time you keep saying..
There is no opposition.
I am a Deist and the Christians here don't seem to have a problem with it.
Are you having fun?

We did submit your petition for early parole….
Please be patient our offices are located in Afghanistan. Unfortunately due to the recent crises all electronic access has been temporarily blocked and we cannot communicate with our main office. However, we did send a courier with your petition to Afghanistan about a week ago. Unfortunately in his last report he has indicated that a massive earthquake has collapsed our main offices with all records being destroyed.
Not to fret our offices always keep a hardcopy back up. The location of these hardcopies is Iraq. The courier was dispatched; once again an unfortunate matter arose, and the last report indicated that the local Goat Herder Jihad Association of Iran had detained him on espionage charges? …
Now we have no Idea the political agenda of said Goat herders but rest assured we have sent a diplomatic envoy to try and determine just what the demands these radical are making. It IS our goal to expedite these matters with much haste. We understand and empathize with you and your concerns. We do appreciate your business and for your patience as well as a show of our good faith, we requested the local warden allow you an extra fifteen minutes a day away from your cellmate Bubba.
We are told that once the Warden gets back from his sixth month vacation to Tibet he will review our request with the utmost priority.
Once again thank you, and never forget
We’re here for you!

Actor-Comedian Dudley Moore Dies at Age 66
CNN -- British comedian and actor Dudley Moore has died aged 66 at his home in New Jersey after a long illness.
Moore, was best known for his comic performance as a drunk millionaire in the 1981 film "Arthur" and his role as a composer grappling with a midlife crisis in the 1979 hit "10."
In His Words
"Yes I feel angry, that's true -- to be reduced to this insignificant version of myself is overpowering."
-- Dudley Moore in 1999
He died of pneumonia as a complication of progressive supranuclear palsy, his publicist said.
Publicist Michelle Bega said the actor died at 11 a.m. EST on Wednesday of pneumonia as a result of his brain disorder. The funeral arrangements are pending and a memorial service is planned, she said.
Moore suffered from progressive supranuclear palsy, which attacks brain cells and impairs mental and motor functions.
He was last seen in public in Britain in November last year when he traveled to London to receive an honor from the Queen.
The frail-looking star of "10" and "Arthur" remained seated in a wheelchair as he received his CBE (Commander of the British Empire) from Prince Charles.
Moore's illness robbed him of his speech and rendered him virtually immobile.
Announcing his illness in 1999, he said: "I understand that one person in 100,000 suffers from the disease and and I am also aware that there are 100,000 members of my union, the Screen Actors Guild, who are working every day.
"I think, therefore, it is in some way considerate of me that I have taken on the disease for myself, thus protecting the remaining 99,999 members from this fate."
But in a later interview for the BBC he was less casual. He said: "It's totally mysterious the way this illness attacks and eats you up, and then spits you out," he once told the BBC.
"There's always this feeling of 'Why did it hit me?' and I cannot make peace with it because I know I am going to die from it.
"Yes I feel angry, that's true -- to be reduced to this insignificant version of myself is overpowering."
In a career spanning more than 30 years, Moore won Tony awards, a Grammy, two Golden Globes, as well as an Oscar nomination.
He set up the Dudley Moore Research Fund, dedicated to finding a cure for PSP and the charity Music for All Seasons, which takes live music into hospitals, homes for the elderly and prisons.
Moore was a musical prodigy as a child and won a music scholarship to Magdalen College, Oxford, to study the organ.
He left university an accomplished jazz pianist and performed widely before finding fame with "Beyond The Fringe," a comedy revue with Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller and Alan Bennett.
In his native Britain, Moore is still best known for his comedy partnership with the late Cook in the 1960s and 1970s.
Their collaboration on the legendary TV shows "Not Only -- But Also" and "Derek and Clive" paved the way for Moore's Hollywood career as an unlikely romantic leads.
He married four times -- to actresses Suzy Kendall, Tuesday Weld, Brogan Lane and Nicole Rothschild -- and had two sons.

And what is the difference between

The wife comes home with this great big box and say’s “ Mom brought the Girl Scout cookies, come and get them”…”All right”; I said. Peering over the side of this 15” x 8” box, I see 8 boxes of cookies and a bill for 24 bucks!
I said; "honey doesn’t Mom usually buy me two boxes of Girls Scout cookies each year? What does she expect me to sell some of these for the nieces and nephews?" The wife goes; "darling I don’t think she expects anything. I bought those myself."
Would anyone like a Samoa?

I was taught that putting a teaspoon of salt in your coffee as you brew or just run salt water then fresh water through a cycle and you keep your machine clean. Yes No?
BTW I am enjoying you and Ola over at the Hangout....I wrote about it.
