Suit, the new "questions" troll thread needs your help please

[Z]

yeah there is alot of trust here, but not from this kind of shit. It's funny how much people suddenly "want to know the truth" when money is involved. If you are upset that someone is getting "lot's of money" and you aren't, go bitch to the owner of the resort you just bought your season pass from. If shmoe has more issues to deal with that is apparent to us reading his posts (I'm sure he does, and don't we all) then he will need alot more than just fucking money. Which means if friends want to ask "tough questions" then do it. But if you are on here posting shit like that you aren't being a friend, you aren't trying to help a guy out.
You are either self-righteously concerned about your money, or you are upset that someone got some help via some cash, and you didn't. And I think both of those are pretty sick considering the circumstances.

-Just my $.02, and yes i had to get change for a nickle.

You for sure have some good points here, and I don't really know how to respond, but im half-drunk and bored so I will.

My only contention is that the thread shouldn't be deleted so that shmoe has the right to see it. I (along with many others) have watched this place turn into a community that would do things like this. I personally have been hooked the fuck up here as well. I just don't want to see it abused.

Also, it's not the suit's right to decide if the thread gets deleted. Maybe we should take a poll . Fuck that. It was posted, it should be seen.

[altagirl]

I agree, but I don't think any of the "deletion posters" were looking for personal censorships, they were looking to protect somebody. Though at this point, that is likely a lost cause. Per my orginal post...my gripe is the fact that the questions are posed under an alias. I would think being forthcoming with your identity is the least the CM could do.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Guess it was just wishful thinking that the OP would have deleted it right away and it could have been handled in private. Too late now.

[Pow4Brains]

That is not an honorable action, it is one of a coward.

And the fact “they” are speaking for “us”.

[ill-advised strategy]

Come on, whoever posted it, delete it.

You sound pretty rational, like you wanted to get a feel for what people think. We want it GONE.

If you want to inquire, ask Doug privately.

my $.02 as well.

[Razorslug]

I just really wonder how much people would "care" (either by asking the questions to begin with, or demanding that post not be deleted) if there was no money involved. Just a question?

[lph]

Maybe Shmoe has read these threads, maybe not. In any case, as Z has said, he deserves to see them. He has been forthright in his posts during this tragedy, on a forum, read by hundreds/thousands of people he has never met in person. He may not be as offended as some of you clearly are and may even respond to some of the questions posed by CM.

Let's not decide for him in an effort to protect him.

just my .02cents.

[MeatPuppet]

I'm with Z, all you wannabe censors are on the wrong forum.

Fuck deleting shit. Dude can answer or not.

Agreed, let it run. A maggot posted it, maggots will reply as they should.

Freedom sometimes mean that people will do things that you find offensive. That's one of the reasons I love this place. People say what is on their mind and everyone responds in kind.

[good4nothing]

regardless the delete/let it ride argument, to call a man out to the hilt like that without using your real name is fucking cowardly.

[Razorslug]

And while I'm on my "jong" soap box. I like that this forum isn't censored. however, isn't using an alias some type of censorship. Say what you want, but be held accountable for it.

[slippy]

I hope nobody else dies or gets murdered for this touchy subject. One is enough, right? I mean, I've seen worse happen over an arguement like this. But hey, money's more important to some people. Whatever floats your boat.

But you guys keep on fightin' the good fight. You're making us real proud to be a part of this place! This.....ski forum. Where we all ski, and share how we like to ski.

[ill-advised strategy]

Thanks! I'm glad someone's taken notice, finally.

just killing it this month!

[MeatPuppet]

Problem is the alias. Fuckin' pussy.

I could not agree more. The piece of shit needs to come clean and stand by his post, rather than hide behind an alias.

[Crass3000]

April 2006 huh? You're old skool dawg.

I'm pretty impressed that you have been on the board so long. Does that make you feel important? It sure seems like it. I'll never get the I've been a computer geek on this forum longer than you attitude -- but thats just me.



The thread is in horrible taste at best. The funeral was like a week ago. Come on -- have some decency.

Embarrassing
Stupid
Uncalled for
Meanspirited
Backstabbing

Just some of the ways the first post could be described. Should have voiced your questions privately first. You are like a teacher in the summer time, no class.

That would have been way more effective if you chose adjectives whose first letters combined to form some super-awesome adjective to describe the post, like:

Limp
Abysmal
Mediocre
Ennui

Just sayin.

I don't want to post in the other thread, but I wanted to make known that I really don't care about learning the details. People aren't perfect, everyone tells lies, and the fact that Schmoe lost his wife is the only thing that really matters.

At any rate, it's just money. He could take it out as nickels and swim in a pool full of coins at his mansion overlooking LA that he shares with his Victoria's Secret model girlfriend and "poolboy," while dining on shark fin soup made from the fins of the last individual of an endagered (now extinct) species of mud shark and watching a pirated version of "Crossroads" on his 100" flat-screen HDTV in a beautiful distressed teak frame for all I care.

[Razorslug]

Pirating "crossroads"? Now that is stepping over the line. I wasn't in for that. I want my money back

[Mybad!]

True. But then I would have to know words like "ennui".

[zion zig zag]

(preface)I'm a horrible skeptic and a fairly jaded person and sometimes I feel guilty for thoughts that I have.

I had to wonder why schmoe posted some of the details that he did, my first thoughts was that he was either inviting some crazy speculation, fishing for info, or at worst, posting with a guilty conscience.

Secondly, while not exactly asking for money, some of his initial posts were for money concerns, as I'm sure it would be for many of us at the time of such a tragedy, but he had to know that the maggots and their giving nature would latch on to that.

Of course, none of this means anything and it doesn't make how this was handled right, but it was made public from the very beginning. If I've offended anyone with this, I'm sorry, but it's nothing I wouldn't have said to anyone in person.

[MTT]

You never dissapoint.

I had to look up (Ennui)

Just sayin b

Have you ever heard of a thesaurus? Probably how he impresses you.

And while I'm on my "jong" soap box. I like that this forum isn't censored. however, isn't using an alias some type of censorship. Say what you want, but be held accountable for it.

I take the view that the real world has contained anonymous written wisdom, vitriol, stupidity, and everything in between for as long as things have been written. That's part of who we are as humans. Anonymous expression can be really valuable.

I think whoever is behind that thread should drop the public thread and have a one on one exchange with Shmoe because that would be the classy thing to do.

To whoever that is: yeah you have a right to poke at someone's wound but it's lame. Totally 100% lame, and you should suck it up and do the right thing because as much as this forum is about letting us say what we want, it's also about rejecting douchey shit like giving a dude who just lost his wife the public 3rd degree a few days after the funeral.

[phUnk]

April 2006 huh? You're old skool dawg.

This place lives and dies on being self-regulating. It'll regulate this mess as well.

More like self-regurgitating.

It's pretty unreasonable to ask Da Suit to delete that thread just to spare one person's feelings from a bunch of pointed questions.

[truth]

More like self-regurgitating.

I've been known to do that from time to time.

[Kevo]

No matter what the circumstances were, Doug lost his wife. Whatever the events leading up to her passing, she was his partner in life for longer than anyone else.

Everyone being the for Doug has kept him going regardless of whatever the full extent of the circumstances were because it showed that there were people out there in the world good enough to be there for someone NO MATTER WHAT. If your sympathy and compassion for someone is conditional on knowing the exact circumstances at all times you need to rethink your life.

We're still here for you Doug.
