COBster (or should I say Marc DePree, who must use a sockpuppet to address me):

If I am webmaster of this board, then #5 is patently false, now isn't it?

#6 is definitely wrong since this is NOT a COB thread, you idot.

Date: Jul 21, 2006

WOw, Marc Depree! You are so smart! All of those things you know about Truth...by golly, you must have done your research! I mean, none of us on this here board knew any of that about her, nosiree!

Date: Jul 21, 2006

You forgot the PhD.
Her other website was taken down in favor of FireShelby, as I understand it, so as not to divert attention.

Date: Jul 21, 2006

The PhD is still in the works, LVN, but yes, Marc also left out my favorite color (Purple) and my shoe size (8 1/2). Oh, and also that I was once named Cerebral Babe of the Week on the board (still have that certificate on my BB here at Vandy!)--my finest accomplishment!

I knew you were a woman. Another incorrect assumption on your part. Relax. Take a deep breath. Call me. There's no reason to clutter the board with your emotional outbursts.

Ah, now that you've found out I'm a WOMAN, it's "my emotional issues." Before when you thought I was a MAN, you likened our exchange to playground fisticuffs. Typical.

Grow up, Marc and get a life. Or at least start your own message board and leave ours alone.

Oh, and the list of things known about Truth have been known by all the regular posters for a long time. I'm surprised that anyone could say they had been in the fight from the beginning, and yet didn't know who she was, or even that she was a "she"--

Ultimately, Gary and Frank know who has been there for them. They know who put their money and careers where their mouth is. That's all that counts. We can claim all we want, we can disparage others all we want. F & G know who's who and what's what.

This thread was started in order to find out what board members felt about registration. I thank those of you who have responded; we will let you know soon what the decision will be.

If you're not the wm, then why don't you ask your buddy the webmaster to verify that my IP address is not Depree's IP address?

We have a common cause. Please stop and think about what you are pushing here. Are you joining President Thames et al? You in effect are. Be smart. Be cool. And stop pounding on each other and then we'll recognize the administrators and toadies by their outrageous offense noise on this Board.

Ol' Fire Shelby wouldve ditched this thread already, but I'm having too much fun. Truth is so darn cute when she's having emotional outbursts.

As for your suggestion, Cobster, post something here from your office, and then walk across the street to JavaWerks and post something else and let me prove you're the same person. Yeah, right.

In reality, this has gotten a little out of hand. But truthfully, I have chuckled more this afternoon than I have in a long time!

The CobMob speaks as one so what's the difference? What was it we learned earlier this week about Marc, Frank, Ernie, and Tom? Hey Jude, don't be so mad. Just take a Cobber and make him yours...

That makes no sense. Depree and I are posting almost simultaneously. His IP address should be very different than mine, since I don't live near him.

This infatuation with sock puppets is amazing. It's clouding all sorts of judgment on the board.

I think the COB mob needs to give USM a day's work for a day's pay and stop cluttering this board with their nonsense. Is the golf course closed or something?

AFAIK, most CoB faculty are not teaching this summer, which means a day's pay is $0. What will $0 buy you in terms of work?

Also, what's with the golf B.S. again? I prefer croquet, thankyouverymuch.

Indeed you were, and shall always be. Weren't you and Emma the sole honorees?

My employer is of the opinion that the board should revive that great old tradition. He wishes to nominate LVN for this week's award. Do I hear a second?

Date: Jul 21, 2006

It appears that CoB folk have trouble communicating and this is their way of saying, "Let's make this a registration only board". I would be glad to meet LVN and Truth at Keg & Barrel and discuss all of this over a beer. My treat.

I'm sure Truth would have a virtual beer with LVN and Joker any day...on second thought...make that a virtual margarita. I hear Truth is no fan of beer.

On second thought, I will buy everyone who ever posted on this board a beer. I hope I have enough straws.

Don't worry, Joker...you'll only need one straw for the COB mob (and we all know whose name will be on that straw).

Thanks one and all, but I have already been the C.B. of the Week, long ago. An honor I shall always cherish. Why not Dr. Ball, in honor of her recognition this week?

Date: Jul 21, 2006

I'll repeat what I just said on another thread. This is me. I sign all my posts. I don't call you a coward for using "Tangled Web," because I believe you have good reasons for doing so. Please extend the same kind of courtesy to me.

Let me repeat, this is me. I sign all my posts. If you choose to call me a liar and I have your name, let me give you friendly advice. Whether you are a woman or a man, you are responsible for what you say. I'll not sue you for calling me a liar--in whatever cute ways suit your personality, because banter is part of the process and I accept that. But don't get carried away. At least have good reasons and evidence before you shoot you mouth off. Others may not be as understanding as I am.

I'd like to get along with you, but I'll not sit back a suffer your thoughtless comments without a response. We could be colleagues, if not friends. What do you say?

Did anyone know George Carter was IHL Commissioner in 1987?

To return to the topic of this thread, what would be the time line to register if this Board requires registration in the future? I assume there would be a transition period? The other question is, could someone officially change their posting handle so long as they had only one?
