PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
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."

1. "Gee, thanks" |
Welcome to the discussion, but I think you'll find if you look around that we are a little more sophisticated around here than you might have previously imagined. Believe it or not, we ALSO watched Survivor I and are currently watching Survivor II....both points you brought up have already been discussed on this board countless times.
Word of advice: It's very difficult to make a big splash with your first post when you're already standing in the water.

They were only trying to be nice and try to help you with integrating yourself here....well Shakes in his own little way. (consider yourself lucky, that was one of the nicest newb "flames" I've ever seen) No need to get so defensive. Ooooh watch out everyone there's a "crack" in the alliance. Yeah, maybe; If crack was slang for millionaire. Kimmi! Get back here!

Survivordawg, I'm suprised that you took the time to send me a flame..shouldn't you be off defending the "Source Code Spoiler" or finding some other fabricated reason to rationalize your "Amber/Liz" final 2???? Just curious.

Congratulations, shakes, you did bring out the bad boy in me and made me call you a jerk. Although I was totally accurate, I did get personal and I shouldn't have. I apologize to the rest of the board for getting in the mud like that.shakes, I don't accept your "good cop/bad cop" rationale (and that's all it is: a rationale, an excuse) for posting your flames and the venomous level your flames attain. There's no NEED to have a "bad cop" in the first place. I say again how Aya is able to say the same things with tact. As I have said before: You don't own the board, shakes, and you're certainly nothing special. Lastly, if I'm wrong on my PTTE (Prediction-To-The-End, for you newbies) I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong, although I'll have to post fast to beat shakes to the trumpet. I have found that by posting what I post, I usually get good information from other posters, either in agreement or disagreement. It's all (supposed to be) in good fun. Let's keep it that way, shall we?

> >shakes, I don't accept your "good >cop/bad cop" rationale (and that's >all it is: a rationale, >an excuse) .....call it whatever you want, but you can't argue with results...go compare this board to the EZ board if you still have doubts about the need for policing.
As I have >said before: You don't >own the board, shakes, and >you're certainly nothing special.
...and just like when you said it before, this comment still isn't worthy of an actual response.
>Lastly, if I'm wrong on my >PTTE (Prediction-To-The-End, for you newbies) >I'll be the first to >admit I'm wrong, although I'll >have to post fast to >beat shakes to the trumpet. ...if you were paying attention to the board you would know that I stay away from the "speculation-to-the-end" posts in general....I rarely post under them and I barely take the time to read them b/c I think they can have a negative effect on the board in that people become close minded and determined in defending their predictions, often in the face of valid evidence that contradicts their theories...that is the danger of trying to predict this thing all the way through.
Although I will agree that as we get closer to the end of the game, these theories become more interesting and valuable to the board...I just think it's too early at this point for those types of theories, but as long as we aren't overrun with a million of these theories I don't have a problem with them...I do agree that they are a good place to brainstorm different scenarios and help figure out ways to substantiate or debunk certain spoilers. My only feeling on those theories is that you have to earn the right to post such a theory...first of all, unless you have proved yourself on this board as compitent, no one is gonna bother reading your predictions anyway...therefore, as long as veterans are the ones making such posts, no problem, but you better believe I'm gonna flame some one-post wonder who tries to pass off a PTTE theory of their own.....you've got to earn your stripes before you are allowed to spout out your complete theory of the game.

>.....call it whatever you want, but >you can't argue with results...go >compare this board to the >EZ board if you still >have doubts about the need >for policing. No doubt that policing has made this board what it is, but for the last time I say: YOUR method of "policing" is wrong, whereas Aya shows a tactful, correct way of doing it. Furthermore to this point, who are YOU to police us? If the board owner or administrator (SurvivorBlows) wants to police the board, that his/her prerogative. If others take a tactful way of doing it, I have less problem with that. But YOU, shakes, come off as.. JERRI. You think you own the board and that your word is gospel by right of the fact that YOU posted it. You're not accomplishing anything with the manner of your "bad cop" Jerri-like policing except to peeve others, whereas Aya has gotten results (and likely will continue to) by simply taking a tactful approach, not to mention explaining the "rules" first, which you neglect to do. Respond to this post as you like with whatever you like. I will not continue this thread in this manner. I am going to give you the attention you deserve.

11. "RE: Ummmmm LMT....." |
Wow, this whole newbie is getting way out of hand. Being a newbie myself, I have seen the terror-inflicting flaming of newbies, and while I have not experienced it individually, I am positive that many new posters are scared away after they see the others burn and crackle. Now, people call me melodramatic, but this is how I see things around the message board. Some of these newbies may carry valuable information or they may have opinions that are worth hearing. I think we are all open to suggestions when it comes to resolving this type of conflict, but I think that constructive criticism, that which the Ayatollah has been giving, should be administered when posters step out of line. Of course, Shakes would spoil his reputation if he actually started being NICE, but I'm just suggesting that he should fire his flaming crossbow less often, while still maintaining his iron fist over the message board. Please don't flame me for this, but I would like to hear any comments about my ideas so I can shut up before I open my trap again. Thanks. ---soulSurvivor_23---P.S. Honestly, I do have a morbid fear of clowns, even before I'd heard of Shakes. P.P.S. VampKira, there are four blood types: A, B, AB, and O. I am one of the rare 7% (AB) which is rumored to have supernatural powers! Enjoy!

Please Please Please Please Please......let's all move on to the TOPICS, and get away from the arguements...It's getting tiring clciking on a subject only to find some sort of lame bickering about who should post what and when and where...If you are an overly sensative person who takes offence at criticism, don't read Shake's posts, and DON'T respond in kind.... you will only look like a whiner later (a lesson many of us have learned since starting.lol). I like this board b/c most of the postings have some really good ideas that get proven or disproven eventually, and IT'S ALL IN FUN AFTER ALL>>>And by the way.... IF you're not having fun, then what are you doing posting about the show anyway? I only want to spew this once, and never again. Now I think I'm just going to click on another topic, and hope for some actual good old fashioned spoilers to pop up so we all can debate on if it's real or not.

14. "False Hope" |
There might not be false hope, Pepe! It doesn't really bother me that she is still around, but it is not out of the rhelm of possibility that Keith, Tina and possibly Colby wouldn't mind trading Jeri in for Liz for a final five... Though, I think it is more realistic to beleive as you do, that it will be all Ogakor in the final five.
