But cows have been cloning cowpies just about forever, without the need of a dude ranch. Eliminate the middleman!

Kids like horses. Horses like kicking kids. Oh wait . . .

On a serious note-my son has low muscle tone and gross motor problems and horse back riding has been offered to him as one type of physical therapy. I don't know what exactly CB has in mind but I have heard of ranches that help troubled youth.

But would you want your child at a dude ranch run by Cowputz?

Shakes,

Teeth can be fixed with a little (or a lot of) money.

Unless you are the Tinman in Oz, a "good heart" is something you either have or not. And in this world there are no wizards to hand out a good heart.

I'd take CB's good heart over Dr's fancy boy looks any day.....

..I'd take CB's good heart, my good teeth and Drew's good looks over that sorry excuse for a brain you probably claim resides in between your ears.

..and let's not even talk about your astute powers of perception.

Well, Shakes!

I always did claim to be the resident Cassandra but Troy is a long way away...

I'm not given to nasty responses (I try to be kind)

However, my brother is given to nasty responses, and he would say if you have to get that many parts from that many people you must be in sad shape. No wonder your clown head spins....

But, as I said, I'm not my brother...

...choose from one of four reasons.

Either its cause the other serious response was related to the poster's own child and the new Shakes doesn't make fun of poster's handicapped kids...even if I really want to deep inside.

Or two, because you actually supplied a link.

Or three, just consider yourself a victim of a random act of rudeness.


Or four, didn't I tell you to shut up?

...because shakes didn't really WANT an answer to his question; he wanted people to bash Cowboy and Oklahoma instead.

And he probably didn't want me to post this, either.

By the way, shakes, I lived in Tulsa for four months before I was transferred by my employer back to the cultural center of the universe, Columbus, Ohio.

Newsflash: this IS the bashers forum.


And I repeat: from the top of this website:


As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Ayak, you should be ashamed of yourself.

>Ayak, you should be ashamed of

...I totally agree with everything you said. This Ayak jerk has been nothing but an insensitive bully since the moment he showed up here. Its about time someone had the guts to stand up to him and call him out.

And since your a newbie I'll help you out a little bit and give you a tip. See that "alert" button at the bottom of the screen...just press that on Ayak's post and the moderator's will be notified of Mr. This IS a basher's forum Ayak and his bullying ways. Hopefully, they will finally have the guts to stand up to him like you did and ban him from posting here ever again!

You have 3 posts on these forums, and so far all I have seen you post is comments about the quote at the top of the forum.

Have you read the guidelines to this site?
If you have an issue with the way this site is run, you should address your comments and concerns with the Moderators.

For a brand new member of these forums, you sure seem to have issues with the rules.

Here's some more reading for you, from the community guidelines:

XIII. RESPECT THE MODERATORS, THEIR ROLE, AND THEIR DECISIONS

Please remember that moderators are people too -- people who generously volunteer THEIR TIME to manage a community FOR YOUR USE. They also have personal lives and feelings. While they are very generous in volunteering their time, do not presume that a moderator will always be immediately available to respond to your issue. Do not take a lack of response or action on their part as grounds to take you own "vigilante moderation" action. "Vigilante moderation" will not be tolerated and will possibly result in the termination of your RealityTVWorld.com membership. While disagreeing with the actions or decision of the moderator team is permitted, respecting their decision is required and repeated open questioning or badgering of their decision is not permitted.

Note that I'm not telling you to shut up, just to take your comments to a more appropriate venue - private message or email. This is a forum to discuss Big Brother.

Do you suppose there would be a "Cowputz clause" in any insurance policy that he would have to purchase when he started operating his dude ranch for disadvantaged children? I mean, if I were running the insurance company I would make sure that his premiums were much higher than the average dude rancher because I know I would have to being paying out on it...

I've always had the impression that if I placed an offensive message that blatantly criticized white people as a race or expressed hetero-phobic sentiments or bashed all men simply for the biological fact that they are men, that the moderators would warn me to change my post and consider banning me just as quickly as they do when other members post blanket criticisms of others based on race, sex, or sexual orientation. Same goes if I were to be mouthy with them and not treat them with the respect they deserve for everything that they volunteer in making these forums a place to have civil debates with other users.

This thread is hysterical. Ya know, when I first came here, I thought Shakes was unequivocally the most offensive poster here. Now that I've been here longer I know he is unequivocally the most offensive poster here. And that is why it bothers me when I laugh at his posts. (I need help)

Posted by ongelis on 09-17-04 at 06:11 AM
I'm confused ...

Did some reading in the archives and got a little history on Shakes. Was trying to figure out why people were referring to him as "the reformed." Enjoyed the archives, but didn't really get enough info to really know what's going on or exactly why others refer to him as "the reformed ... "

Didn't Shakes (reformed or not) try to help JohnDoeDid (the 3 post newbie who was quoting Forum Rules / regarding the "Shut Up" which was actually said by Shakes to Zazzy) by advising said newbie of the "Alert Button" in regards to Ayak's post, who Shakes (reformed or not) said the following about:

"and the moderator's will be notified of Mr. This IS a basher's forum Ayak and his bullying ways. Hopefully, they will finally have the guts to stand up to him like you did and ban him from posting here ever again!"

But JohnDoeDid didn't stand up to Ayak ... as it was he who actually said that "this IS the bashers forum."

And Ayak only said in his post that Shakes didn't really want the question answered, that he actually wanted others to bash CB and Oklahoma (which would be the purpose of the forum), and that Columbus, Ohio was the cultural center of the universe.

So, Shakes is helping JohnDoeDid (3 post newbie) report Ayak (who didn't make the post that offended Shakes, but made another post that Shakes took issue with) ... but isn't Ayak one of the three moderators that are listed for this forum (Basher's), as well as the other two (Fanatics and Live Feed's & Spoilers)?

So why would a member report a moderator to the other moderators, one of which (Bebo) joined into this conversation by quoting more Forum Rules in his post (all of which I am in complete agreement with as they are all quite good, well thought out and serve well in keeping all Conferences focused on given shows), by advising the newbie, who was ill-advised (?) by Shakes (reformed or not) to use the "Alert Button" to get the moderators attention in regards to the post made by Ayak (who lives in the cultural center of the universe and just happens to be one of the moderators)?

This is actually more entertaining (although super confusing) than the actual Big Brother season.

All I know for certain is this:

- I have never been to Oklahoma, but have been to Ohio
- I'm not sure that Ohio is the cultural center of the universe
- The remaining 3 HG's are a huge disappointment for various reasons
- I don't really care who wins and fortunately Survivor has started, so it doesn't matter
- If my life depended on it and I had to make a choice in order to stay alive, I would probably choose CB, leaving all Pros and Cons aside, simply because he loves his family and seems to have a tender heart (exhibited by his excessive and unabashed crying habit). Although CB probably will not win, so the love and tears really don't matter in regards to the game ... but both are wonderful attributes for a man to have
- Really don't care for Drew and Diane, as both stretch "the truth" until it's at the breaking point.


I skipped reading the posts for a day (won't be doing that again) and look what happened.

Other than the above, I'm really confused and sort of afraid ... and with that being said, I apologize profusely for reading this topic and then getting side tracked ... but hopefully I brought it back around to the original discussion, which was something about living in Oklahoma for 3 months and questioniong how a dude ranch is able to help children?

How could one question that, if one only lives there for 3 months ... unless one was actually living / working on the children's dude ranch? That's what my enquiring mind would like to know.

Nevermind ... My brain hurts now.
