I think that now that he and his archrival Evilgoon discovered that they are long-lost identical twin brothers who were separated at birth they are now locked in a private mind-war of which only one of them will survive.
Or maybe he finally got a girlfriend (I recall A_womon was sort of diggin' on our young erudite companion.). |

I was also wondering what happened to my Yukio. Maybe he's on vacation. Paging Yukiooooo. Your cohorts request that you check in with them! |

Hello
Noooo no, I got A_womon safely tucked away teaching her the fine art of ......of.....ahhh, when to hold'em and when to fold'em. We're making some progress. If I can just get her to stop saggin' her pants and throwing up signs every time a hip-hop song comes on. Just kidding but she has hit me a few times and we're working on Thump to let her back in the game. What do you'll think, should he lift the gate? I was thinking a 3 strike rule should somehow be in the mix?
That reminds me, I wonder what post that was that ol'thump wants to talk to Justwrite about? She must have forgotten a comma or sumtin'****devilish grin*****.

Why, Yukio. Who'd ever expect you to be coy?? But, just remember, babe, the old saying that "absence makes the heart grow fonder can be unsurped by that other old saying: "out of sight, out of mind." |

Honestly, I don't know what A_womon did that was so inexcusable. I guess I missed what happened. Or I am too much of 'nimrod' to know better.
I got to hand it to Justwrite though. She sure aint a 'skurd' of Lord Thumper. But I hope he doesn't (with but a mere wave of his mighty hand) toss her out on her keyster like he did her roadog A_womon and their potent nemesis, the most lovely, talented and awe-inspiring...'You Know Who'. |

Hey ABM, I'm with you, considering the level of skulduggery that goes on around here, A_Womon's little indiscretions should have only scored a 3 on the "you done F'd up scale".
I think Cynique said it best. That reminds me, what's up with the voting thang, the five star thang? Who activates that and why.
If we agree with Cynique's assertion, should we then hit on the "blue vote!" thang. Okay, am gonna hit it. ............**time passing on**.....Okay, I hit it. Yeah, let Miss Hip-Hop ( as you-know-who named her) back on-board.
The other day somebody really really was walkin' on the lines. I mean I couldn't believe she was saying those things on the board. I know we all know how to cuss and talk nasty but......but I don't think this is the spot. But hey, I'm probably just old school and a little out of step BUT DAMN, she was talkin' about the no-no and the go-go and I said wooooooe. I think that's what got her called up to the principals office. Anyway, they let The Hurricane out and Mike Tyson too, not to mention Orthelo. So Yeah, my vote, if it means anything is "open the door Richard".
But ABM, could you see fit to leave some of the ladies to us less "Dictionaried"<<< (I dare you to find that in a Strunk & Stunk), mumbly mouthed ones? I mean, you trying to knock everything walkin'  , could you leave some of the pie?

I went ahead and gave Carey five stars only because I agree that A_woman should be let back on board. She wasn't the only one on that site showing off. I was naughty, too. I can remember a few of us showing our assess. A_woman got a little rowdy, but she wasn't the worst.
Also, I think Carey was right about that damn sex addicted Abm. What a man-whore! He gets mo' butt than a ashtray up in here. He got most of these chicks so nervous they sweatin' like hookers in church. And I don't like that sarcasm in his voice when he calls me 'playah'! |

Greetings comrades, family, friends, and foes: I'm tryin to get some things done around the house...this also includes reading known world, white teeth, logic, and a few others books of fiction.
Since this thread has changed to a campaign for the emancipation of A_womon, I, too, think she should be allowed to return. I think everyone should have access to this haven of black readers and writers...this includes kola.
Anyways, I'll also quote my email to Thumper a few weeks ago in support of a_Womon's return. I believed then, as I do now, that I contributed to a disruptive environment....what was already, as malcolm once called, a burning house.
But most things are about timing: my alleged change in behavior set the tone, then a brief moment of "normalcy"; Thumper's vacation(BEA); and finally his return home...to HIS house, though alway a flamin, but now seemingly burnt down...YET HIS family members--young and some old--were smiling...carryin on...carryin on like nothin had happened, nothin had happened...Blackened faces, bright, white teeth, and fits of coughs and laughter congregatin in merriment, like it was a party, like it was 1999... Who was responsible? ...All of us!
In this vain, here is my email.
Mr. Thumper:
I’m writing this email on behalf of A_Womon. Others and I are responsible for the board’s recent environment. Clearly, my exchange with ABM, as well as Kola’s return, exacerbated an already inherently combative environment. This, of course, doesn’t change the fact that A_Womon’s post were problematic, but it does suggest that her behavior is coherent with recent exchanges on the board and that some of us who know better have not been good models.
In addition, A_Womon is new to the aalbc, and though she has read a few posts, she may not have known the environment as it regards posting protocol, particularly the history of delinquency on the boards. I respectfully ask that the ban be replaced with a warning.
I think the aalbc, and especially A_Womon, benefit from the exchanges on the board. She needs to catch herself, for she certainly takes things too personally, but she is also respectful and gracious. She was the first to apologize to everyone (as she should have). In addition, from her most recent postings, she has been encouraging and affable to posters, even her intellectual foes. We all lose out. I believe that this is a lesson that she should have the chance to learn rather than a gift that is lost.
Sincerely,
Yukio

Damn Yukio, that was on time! Yeah, I'm proud of you young man and I'm sure A_womon thanks you. In fact I know she does. In private she says you are a stand up kind of guy although I have to admit I told her that I'm still having a hard time with the........aahhh.....ahhh....well....you know. But she stood tall behind you so we ended our discussion by admiting to each that both have valid reasons for our beliefs and hey, we stood on them. Anyway, hip hip horray ol'chap.
I think the boys miss kicking you around, so come on back MY feet are falling asleep .

Thumper,
It seems like all of us want A-Woman back. So, what's up??? Say some'im! BTW (see, I'm learning) A-Woman, if you're reading, I sent Thumper a long, heartfelt email on your behalf, BEGGING him to let you back on board! Oh, I also prayed, and needless to say, MY PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS ANSWERED!! So roll up your sleeves and crack those knuckles, girl, you're on your way to puttin' those fingertips to use again.
Oh yeah, Yukio, don't tell Cynique that we email each other twenty times a day. She already hates me!

Hello All,
OK, one more time for the people in the back, the time of "showing one's butt" on this board is OVER! Cussing folks out, threatening folks, telling folks to kiss one's butt, sexual explicit or implied talk is NOT acceptable and will no longer be tolerated. We now have the technology to back this up.
While this new attitude of mine may seem to be brand new, I assure you it is not. It use to be in the old days, I could just drop a line, or say a word in the right place and folks would curb their behavior. Now people want to ignore me and keep right on going. It aint happenin.
This discussion board has lasted so long because it is not like other discussion boards where folks are clowning and stuff. This board is about books. People will not agree with everything you say, but you will respect their opinion and they will respect yours. That's all I ask. Frankly, I love opposing opinions. And I'm not saying that we can't have fun. But, there are rules, and they will be enforced. Look, I am not here to baby sit. We are grown folks, adults. I should not have to make sure you act your age and not your shoe size. I will if I have to. That's one of the main reason we changed the discussion board software last year, the reason we went to registering posters a few months ago. Duh!
I'm not one for censorship. I won't start now. I'm not saying that someone can't get sarcastic with you in their replies to your post, or make you look foolish. What I am saying is is that no one will tell any of you to kiss their butt without getting kicked off the board. No more chaos. If you all want that, this is not the place for you.
Second and most importantly, this discussion board is about books and all of the things related to books. If anyone post anything other than that, I will delete that post. Why? Simply because, we know have other discussion boards where that post would be welcomed. There's the Poetree board for poetry; the Culture and Race board for politics, social commentaries and stuff like that; The After Hours board for (?). It's not that we don't want you to post or have your say, I'm just asking that you select the right board to say it.
The A_womon situation: Oh ye of the short memories, I told you all, on the board, that I got your emails concerning A_womon and that I was reconsidering the ban being permanent concerning her. I did. I simply suspended her for four weeks. I didn't tell A_womon that because, well, that's private, let's just say I got pissed all over again and was being spiteful so I held my tongue. So, she has another week or so to go. that's too bad to, I was going to start selling "Don't Ban A_womon" Tee shirts and coffee mugs.
This is how it's going to go. The first offense gets a 4 week suspension. The second offense will get you banned.
The other one, ABM, chances of coming back is like having a snowball fight in Hell. Frankly, I love it that your friend is gone. LOVE IT! Why the sky is bluer, the grass is greener, the air is fresh. It's like playing among sheets that's been drying on the clothes line on a perfect breezy spring day. |

Damn, seems like lately everbody is so uptight about nothin'. Okay, my little wicked witch thang WAS NOT pointed at anyone. I recieved two e-mails and a phone call concerning my post. Look, my expression the wicked witch is dead simply means a period of time or bedlam is over. Thump spilled his speech, A_womon will soon be allowed to scamper around the yard and we're moving on. SOOOOOOO, I wasn't calling anyone a wicked witch, DAMN. It's meant to say joyous times are here....are upon us, it's time to celebrate. Okay......peace out.

Hello All,
Carey: I would not be a bit more upset over your wicked witch is dead post than the man on the moon. Whoever wrote you...it's all about them getting a life. Who was it that they thought you were talking about, and how is it that they feel that this person can get talked about negatively if that's how a person truly feel about that person. What nerves! Jesus got talked about and He was the son of God, and I ain't placing nobody above him. And somehow I can't picture this person feeding a multitude, turning water in to wine, and raising anyone from the dead.
I didn't know who you was talking about, if you was talking about anyone at all. And hell, if the munchkins can dance and sing about a wicked witch kicking the bucket than so can I, and so can you. Let's all sing together, ding dong the witch... |

Hello
Well actually the person themself, hit me. And another called, anyway, I replied to their concerns and gave them my phone number asking them to call me. Normally I would have blown it off but I actually felt a little hurt that someone would think that I would do them like that. Especially someone I've been cool with. I take friendships seriously and whenever one is in jepardy I'm inclined to step up and see if I can clear things up. But yeah, I was really taken aback that anyone could read themselves into that post. But hey, like you said, ding dong....
BTW, they've yet to call.......but I'm waiting. |
