Congrats, BWayTheatre11. I was part of a Mojito thread that was deleted once, but unfortunately, I don't think I had much to do with that deletion. In fact, I'm quite sure of that.

it was interesting that the "send the underage boy porn" thread lasted as long as it did. probably because it was posted during tony week. but man, #11, that's something of which to be proud. on a board where the monitors are overworked, underappreciated and lenient as h-e-double hockey sticks, you managed to be so offensive as to get deleted. there's something to hang your hat upon. i hope that you have printouts of the thread so that you can have them framed.
actually, what i'd said was, "Honestly, do you think those two words are appropriate to a broadway-oriented board?"
Not to mention that people of any age...even quite young...post here. Gotta use some common sense about what gets posted and keep the more graphic stuff for PMs.

Not to mention, many people do it and many threads have not been deleted.
Not to mention, this is the off-topic board.
Not to mention..."it was interesting that the 'send the underage boy porn' thread lasted as long as it did"...who said porn was involved? Not me, that's for sure! It was for an icon like so many of us have.
Not to mention, my common sense got a little confused, because of some of the other stuff I have read on this board that was not deleted.

Why stop there? You forgot to mention your freaking age? Think maybe that has something to do with it? I think you and I have had this discussion before, but let me remind you. You, and several others, have posted entirely too, too much personal information about yourselves. I know for a fact that with a few clicks of a computer I have the information and means to be standing on your doorstep within two hours. Scary, isn't it? Think perhaps anyone would be so inclined? How about anyone not a member, just a lurker, who reads the same titillating intended post? Someone unknown to anyone. Why tempt fate?
Sweetie, there are inherent dangers with the internet. And you are not big enough, bad enough, or aware enough to know what half of them are. Many adults aren't. Literally, "...There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
And I don't need anyone here to profess how mature they think they are. Past post have already indicated those in need of emotional development. And there is ALWAYS someone smarter, craftier, slicker. You kids, and yes that what many of you are, have been playing with fire when dancing with adults.
Now that aspect doesn't even address the lack of respect in many of the post lately. What I can't comprehend is why anyone would see having their post deleted as a source of pride, badge of honor, something to which one aspires. Oh, that's right, I'm not looking at it through a child's eyes. For you see, son, that is what you are. And I can almost excuse your lack of judgement because of that. But to continue with the same course of conduct is not only foolish, but reeks of insolence.
And what I can't excuse is the lack of respect from the older crowd. Why do some feel this board is their own personal playground? Papa addressed it very well but I don't think he came down hard enough. I'm sure many of us have seen some of the antics that go on when Rob or Craig are away from the board. Yes, often posters go back and delete or edit so things don't look the same in the morning. Often things slip by. But because something hasn't been caught and admonished, does that give one license to continue? Be it the Topic or Off Topic board haven't the administrators indicated that there are guildlines? Some subjects, especially as posted by juveniles, are taboo. Some comments crossed the line of barbs and have gone to the jugular.
And I personally pray to God to never see another attack like the Mr & Mrs Roxy threads. Love or hate a poster, but at least deal with them in a civilized manner. There is a glaring lack of respect shown to all members of the board when many of these threads are posted.
I don't mean to sound harsh, and don't want you to think all these comments are directed to you, BT11. I'm not attacking you. But there is a time and place for some of these threads. This doesn't seem the place, and the time I suggest would be a few years in the future.
give that woman a see-gar! and a drink, whew!

Etoile, excellent post. It made me feel like a child again...seriously. I just have one more question: this has been going on for many weeks now and when I get dragged into the horny teenage rubbish, I am the one to be ashamed? I never said I was proud of myself for getting a thread removed. I did not post them with the goal of them being removed. When they were removed, I was confused...very confused.
Etoile said, far more eloquently than I could have, the concerns that have been on my mind for a while. I agree with everything. It's an outstanding post, and as noted, a message for many of us, not just aimed at one.

Oh, BT11, save yourself the trouble. Attempts at emotional manipulations are best saved for someone on whom they might work.
Perhaps you feel like a child because, at least as indicated in previous post, you are a child. Should you feel ashamed by the content of your post? Who but you can answer that.
Sensibilities exist because you are a child. Embrace it. Don't try and turn it into, "woe is me I'm being made to feel like a child".
No one drags anyone into a thread. And I'm certain many who have been silent would argue this isn't the place for horny teenage rubbish.
Perhaps I sensed pride in your deletions because of the glowing smiley face at the end of your first post. You bumped this thread up. For what purpose? Or was it the misguided congratulatory expressions lauded upon you that made me think you enjoyed it? Was there confusion voiced towards those posters? And if confused by your deletions, could not a question asked to the administrators erased the confusion?
Again, because something has been going on doesn't mean it should continue to be tolerated. Many post sound innocuous and insipid and often can go unnoticed. Their titles belie their true content.
Could someone give me a brief synopsis of etoile's posts? I'm just to horny to sit and read all that... thanks.

This is a serious thread now...and no, I am not working the emotions.
Etoile, no need to start getting nasty. I do not think your 1st post was nasty. Actually, it was very helpful to me. I should have known this is not the place for that kind of material. And if I do post something bad and it gets removed, there is no reason for me to bring more attention to it. It got deleted for a reason. Sometimes it takes an adult to help a child get with the program. I would like to thank you for caring about me and letting me (and others) have it the way it is. Others might not have gotten anything from this, but I sure have. Thanks. This time, I will use a smiley face to represent pride.
Does etoile scare anyone else?
No?
Okay.
Sorry.
Guess it's just me, then.
Etoile has officially become Mother Love on this board!! She is very wise, so listen up, ya'll! She means no harm--only love and good advice!

Oh, jrb, you are such a sweetheart. I've often been called a Mother...but never followed by Love.
And BT11, I seriously am not attacking you. I hope you realize that. I do understand how your hormones work at your age. I also realize that it is easy to be drawn in by the tauntings of others who should be older and wiser, but alas are not.
I would also caution you at this time to be even more careful of those that want to lead a sympathetic ear. Those that want to be a comfort, who understand you, who agree with you, who state they are around the same age as you and want to be a friend against the mean etoile. We have been blessed with instincts for a reason. Always go with them.
And papa, dear papa, I would gladly accept a drink. But please don't make it one of those overhyped fad drinks that were SO last summer. You know the one I mean. Everyone here should know. Heaven knows we've all read enough about them...more than enough!
etoile?
You are anti-mojito?
What would you suggest instead?
Broadway Legend Joined: 8/2/03
A hussyless healthy dose of manners for everyone.
Dear Mother Love etoile,
You are also anti-hussy?
Right.
Good to know.
Is it possible for one to be a hussy and be mannered?
And what do the mannered people drink?
Sincerely yours, ~ff~
