There has been some talk going around on some of the other nets, that 204 has some bugs, that cause bbs's and some puters to crash.. I don't know exactly what it is.. guess we will have to sit back and wait.

Qumodem sucks though... you're just NOW surprised, Liz? :)
JayDee
then prioritize your your system correctly
because you ain't watching an empty fish tank, here
this one is full
JayDee
and be very,yery careful who you call "lady" around here
megamol
chester if u have to ask what a lady is, well, to put it politely, pull your head out of what ever hole or bbs you have it stuck in and go experience the real world.
JayDee
he has experienced a number of Real Worlds, megamol
they are, from what I can tell, Worlds of Hell
Tacoma ain't no picnic, either...
now, if chester can find a home in Seattle REAL soon
he may become exposed to Real Worlds that aren't hell
that would be nice
chester cheetah
There's females, there's women, and there's ladies, and each person seems to have a different idea of which is which... I was inquiring of a particular user exactly what theymeant by the term, to wit, their own personal definition.
Livia
"lady" should only be used in correspondence with "gentleman"
otherwise it is a patronizing, outdated term
Flying Wombat
the term 'lady' seems to have an emotional charge on it these days.
Liz Pearson
Ok, it takes me awhile to admit it, but yes <sigh> sorry to disappoint you John, but I'm still here NEENER NEENER!!!! Totally immature reaction, but that's the response I make to people who make those kind of ridiculous statements.
JayDee
ah
finally, something definitive...
JayDee
whatever
megamol
I dont necessarily feel that the term lady is ever dated or condenscending...I figure that unless it is used in an obviously snarky way that its at least an indication that the person speaking is alert enough to notice the difference....
JayDee
I think every xx-chromosomed human on this planet has their own definition
some fall within definable groups, I guess...
Livia
the difference bwteeen what?
you and all those other women who in some way you consider to be inferior to you?
uncle herb
Lady = a real horrorshow dose of the old in-out
BK
so....... if we can't use "lady", what shall we use? i don't think "come here, bitch" is going to be popular somehow.. :)
JayDee
it depends upon the woman, BK
some will respond to one, or the other, or both
how they respond is an individual matter
I would suggest caution, no-matter...
megamol
i dunno, seems like maybe what ever females object to lady also would not like to be called female or "yo..woman" either, so i guess if you want to be safe just address the person in question by name.....or m'am ....i personally
have no objections to being called either lady or being called a lady. some people use lady as in "hey lady" as a term of affection.......its hard to tell.
Livia
i don't think "come here" anything is very popular
few women enjoy being summoned
JayDee
Announcement:
too many women have been socialized, and taught, lies...
"being summoned" is the least of "it"...
Torch Song
I have no objections to being "lady"
(but it does amuse me massively...)
I really hate "girl" though...grrr...
Saint Bob
I use woman - in the Mad Max (Bubba?) sense... "woMON!"
Lady Non Sequitur
I always thought wench had a nice ring to it...
BK
lady usually works... i allways thought of it as being a term of respect, but maybe that is not the popular view.
Black Wolf
Hey girl, what's uuuuuuuuupppp...
heh heh
megamol
i agree with Torch Song, i dont like being called girl either, unless of course the person saying it is over the age of 70 in which case i say that theyre entitled to call anyone anything they want.... and..SHAME ON YOU UNCLE HERB......
uncle herb
I like wench, too.
"hey lady, you've got the love I need" -- Led Zeppelin
Myth
Hate to break it to you, megamol, but "M'am" can be equally insulting. It seems the politically correct term is now a neutered "Sir".
Not that I'm a big fan of PCness...
JayDee
depends on how and who you say it to, BK
Wolfgang
Wow. Who really gives a fuck. It's not what's said, it h's how it's said. If some woman is gonna get her panties in a wad because I didn't address her in some particular fashion, then she doesn't deserved to be addressed, period.
megamol
oh my oh my.....
JayDee
just wait till someone gets their scrunchie in a knot
Black Wolf
I can agree with that Wolfgang.
Lady Non Sequitur
<sigh> I miss my wet bar ... it was fun to be a bar wench ... gotta get a bigger house again...
Livia
so you have no problem with being addressed as "asshole", eh, wolfgang, as long as it's said right?
JayDee
Clyde Millo thought it was perfectly cool to call you an asshole
as long as it was said with a smile...
and he was a big-ol' sucka, too...real big...
and when SylviaLouise Millo got her scrunchie in a knot...
well...
sorry about that...
megamol
their SCRUNCHIE????? Say What?????????
Blain Nelson
Anyone who is offended by my usage of the word lady I would prefer to offend.
megamol
Lady Madonna, Lady Di, Lady Godvia, Lady of the Lake, Lady Day, all these ladies cant have it all wrong.....
JayDee
Whip, people do mistake their own symbolisms for others' intent
but, knowing that, you don't have to be a bitch about it and hose them off
oh, btw:
did your brilliant instant jump-on-the-case cause this combative woman
to immediately deradicalize and become submissive?
did she instantly realize her position?
did she recognize the Superior Intellect?
did she heel like a good girl?
hmmm?
Whippersnapper
I used to refer to my wife as "my girl" on occasion. She responded favorably. I once did so in the presence of a radical-feminism PR victim who preferred to trash a perfectly friendly discussion by cutting me off and correcting the term to "woman." I informed her, instantly, that I'd use whatever word I chose and that if she did that again she could find some other conversation. I'd never encountered this before, but knew it for what it was. It was lousy, rude bad manners with political correctness for a flimsy excuse.
If I'd MEANT something degrading, it would be another matter. But it was brilliantly obvious I did not. It was and remained a term of affection, essentially. Had my wife chosen to call me her "boy" in like manner, I can't see that it would have bothered me.
People mistake their own symbolism for others' intent. Especially if some PR-brained, combative idiot has persuaded them so.
The least they could do is to leave one's conversation uninterrupted, and bring it up some other time, in more rational context.
chester cheetah
I just give up.

I've just been on the horn with the Administrator of the Popular Office of Politically-correct Yuppified Calling Of Cognomenic Kewpies, (POPYCOCK), a Mister Kitch, and he told me that the latest correct terminology for a human female of any age or social position includes the following:
Babe, Chick, Twist, Sweet Little Thang, Little Woman, Cutie-Pie and
Sweetheart.
He cautioned me that the National Organization of Super-Sensitive Bimbos has not yet had time to send out the notices to every human being of the female persuasion in the United States, so we must exercise some care in the use of these terms for the time being. He suggests that we try not to call human beings of the female persuasion anything at all until the National Organization can inform all of them. He says that this should be accomplished by no later than Friday of this week.
So, to all of those human being effected by this new ruling, let me just say...
nothing.
JayDee
what...
megamol
twist?????????? say what?????
Livia
for all i care, a couple can call each other "fuckpuppy" and "studmuffin" in
private
the point of this is how one addresses strangers and acquaintances, and how
women as a whole are referred to in general conversation
the lady in lady di is an official title (the princess of wales was lady diana
spencer before she married)
Megamol
i still think that i would prefer to be thought of as a lady rather than a female. pc sucks.....
JayDee
I'm tired of trying
Saint Bob
My dad's definition of a woman: "life support system for a pussy."
huncke the junkie
Does he define a man as a "life support system for a dick"?
JayDee
no
being tired doesn't matter
Saint Bob
No. And that's nowhere near the only thing he contradicts himself on.
Livia
so give up
Lady Non Sequitur
gee... I have very close friends who call each other "girl" and "boy" ... it never occurred for me to think it would be offensive...
Torch Song
JayDee -- me too...
now if I could just figure out what else to do...
JayDee
waiting...
backing out of this place after going forward thru it
I know what I'm talking about
and I just wish I didn't
woo-be kat-doo...
Saint Bob
It's only offensive to people who are looking to get offended. Me, I'm looking for something else entirely.
JayDee
I was denounced by JulieDodd (a SylviaLouise one-night stand-thyang) at the
LRC in the U-District, in front of a bunch of people (mostly lesbians) as
a political-thyangie, in an almost undescribable manner
it was lame, lame, lame
the night before, Julie and I had been making love to/with Sylvia
I guess you'd call it a rather rude morning after...
go figure
but Sylvia and I, plus most of the other womyn/women saw thru her shit
we kinda went "uh? oh... <grunt>...
and kinda just walked-away, disgusted, and went back to life-in-general
go figure, Whip
but I never said "roll over"
she was a dickhead, d00d...
Whippersnapper
What matters her response, JayDee? You suggest my plan was to cow her. It was in fact to hold my own position, and leave nothing in question. I refuse to be stampeded by such nonsense.
She didn't correct me in a friendly fashion. She'd evidently been taught to be openly hostile on the subject, and keyed on the word "girl" like a trained dog. By her attitude, you'd think I were a delinquent child. I made no misinterpretation of HER intent. She was slappin' me DOWN, man.
Should *I* have rolled over submissively, JayDee? Should I have said something like, "Gee, I'm SO sorry. I should NEVER contrive to offend you deliberately in such a crass fashion. Be sure and interrupt me mid-sentence every time you catch me in such a gross degradation of the entire female gender." At which point I should evidently resolve never again to refer to my wife as "my girl" for fear of shattering someone's fragile self-esteem.
For what it's worth, the woman's reaction to my rebuff was first to try and justify the knee-jerk idiocy. She asked how I'd like being called "boy." I replied I wouldn't mind in like context. And that until now, I had never in my life seen the word "girl" used in the manner "boy" sometimes is to demean someone. You had to assign to the word a definition it had probably never had! A definition that I wasn't using, in ANY case. I then asked whether she could honestly say I meant any offense. She couldn't. She tried again. She said it was an "unconscious" degradation of women by "the society as a whole," and that the "pattern" should be corrected for the sake of all women. I said that what it really was, was a completely *conscious* effort by radical PR artists to make "society as a whole" feel guilty for something it wasn't doing. I asked, by way of illustration, whether she'd thought of that on her own or been TOLD to think in those terms.
She became sullen, and said she'd sure learned her lesson, and would never do THAT again. And said I'd sure overreacted. Never occurred to her that the overreaction was HERS. I'd taken offense, to be sure. But I happen to think it was *appropriate* to take offense.
Incidentally, what's with all this sweetness-and-light nonsense that says it's somehow bad and evil to get MAD? Stick a pin in me, folks, and I get pissed - whether it's an ideological "pin" or a nickel-plated one. If I've just watched you thrust it into my ass deliberately, I figure I'm an insipid fool if I can't muster the courage to object.
My wife, no fool, later thanked me for standing up to that crap. She, JayDee, could see through it. That you can't is your own problem.
Megamol
JayDee I haven't seen or heard so many references to Sylvia Louise in a long while....is this a bad sign???
doctor doom
hooey.
Twoflower
don't worry, livia, they will never understand.
it's very difficult to understand the subconcious implications of terms that have been in society for a long time, especially if you're a member of that society.
and being male in American society seems to allow for a huge amount of insensitivity toward others, and a general feeling that it's ok not to think.
the example of many people in ghetto lifestyles calling women "hos" and "bitches" may be quite apparent in their harmful bias and general nastiness, but "our" terms of "girl" and "babe" and the like (to strangers, generally, not necessarily as a term of affection,) have the implications of child-like inferiority. most men i know would be offended if they were called a "little boy" (or even just "boy," unless it was by someone of a significantly advanced age); why shouldn't women (and men who have a clue) be offended when similar terms are used?
the term "lady" as well has some very strong societal implications, most dealing with the strong ideas of "right" and "wrong" surrounding the term (which generally don't exist for "gentleman,") which have long been used to "put women in their place."
not being a gentleman has long been an almost romantic idea in American society; look at how we idolize many males who are not in the least bit gentlemanly (popular heroes that were outlaws in the old West, pirates, many

sports figures, and quite a few rock stars are only a few examples,) whereas there have been few romantic ideas associated with not being a lady; most of the time, it was equated with being a whore, in a very negative sense.
i don't expect many others to understand this or agree with it; i've spent a lot of time over the last decade carefully examining society, semantics, cultural heratiges, and subtle biases in an attempt to weed unconscious prejudice from myself. it's extremely difficult, and i don't ever expect to be able to do a "complete job," but i feel i'm a better person for it.
Lady Non Sequitur
And what would that be, Saint Bob?
JayDee
yes, megamol, it is
I'm going to hunt her down
and find her
drag her in here by a printer cable around her dick
and have her punk swinging...
Megamol

speaking of obnoxious feminists, does anyone here find it poetic justice that anti-pornography nut Andrea Dworkin's anti-pornography book was *censored* in Canada for obscenity? There is a deity somewhere, and s/he has a sense of humor...
Torch Song
Twoflower--very nice...thank you!
Black Wolf
that makes sense too me Twoflower,
I try to be a gentalmen as much as possible, and dont mind being corrected when I make a mistake. As long as the correction is done in a civilized fashion.
Bookworm
Twoflower- Thank you. I have noticed much the same. I agree with Black Wolf that I don't mind being corrected when I make mistakes as long as the person doing the correcting isn't doing it in a condescending or combative manner. I enjoyed the posts and once again thanks.
Livia
but condescension and combativeness are so much more fun
Megamol
hmm...really, thanks Twoflower...at least some of us appreciate. It's nice to know that there is some hope for some of us...
JayDee
domination, subjugation, adumbration, regulation...
you, too, will experience the wonder of gettin' your booty booted
control and power will be passed to those who have the chutzpah...
those who are weak, and without substance
will be crushed by the Wheel of Revolution
, you are dead meat
your evil reign is over
uncle herb
Two: I think you spend too much time worrying. By the time you're 30 your face will be contorted with worry lines if you keep this up.
Bookworm
Shove it Jaydee. I don't really give a d**mn what you have to say.
Bookworm
JayDee- sorry about that post that escaped before I could kill it but your message just hit me wrong when things were not going right and I blew up. Sorry.
JayDee
oh, eat my root,
then you can just poop and die
MontyL
MCI, again! Heh heh...
JayDee
it was just a ^An trap, B00kw0rm...
every once in a while, they do work
they have sent some people into week-long rages, and off Citadel, even when
they found out what it was...
bazz
Twoflower
I think it is sad when people are nasty about correcting folks... It's as bad as Rush namecalling. But I also think it's sad that so many simply write off the way we speak and the way we think as simply "that's the way we do it."
Sure, it's the way you do it, but it's not the way you HAVE to do it. If you understand and sympathize, you can change the way you act. Being the "perfect gentleman" sounds so nice, but often it can be quite condescending in its own right, both to the actor and the "lady" he's with.
Being NICE, and just treating people as if they were human beings instead of card-board cutouts of what we'd really like to be, can get you a long, long way.
Not to say being a bit formal can't be fun for a romantic dinner, but don't overdo it. Life is reality; Victorian-era values pertaining to the sexes are far out-dated and all-too common in the subconscious of the American psyche.
Torch Song
<snicker> JayDee, you're having entirely too much fun with this...
JayDee
gotta have fun with what you have to have fun with

Yeah I realized what it was so came back to kill the message but the board had already netted out. It just hit me at the wrong time as I normally catch them for what they are. That is the first one I have been nailed by. Sorry about the post though.
JayDee
got that right...
Twoflower
But Uncle Herb, with the comfort of feeling that I'm doing the best that I can comes an inner peace that no religion can provide. I don't have faith in the words of another; I have faith in myself.
I don't, however, have the thoughts that I am in any way perfect. I don't think that searching for a better self is "worrying," as worry would imply doubts and conflict. I know I could be better, but I'm doing the best that I know how right now. Someday I'll probably look back on myself and say, "Gosh, look how naive I was."
But then again, that's life.

Hello everyone, old and new.
Did you miss me?
Probably not. :)
But I'm back.
JayDee
hey, 2F...
way to go
don't let "them" nit-pick at you, either
and life is a process of looking back and saying what you say you
would probably say...and that IS life
if you couldn't do just that, then your learning would have
amounted to the learning that a rock is capable of...
not good, to my POV...

The meek shall inherit the reek.
I have two couches, one especially, that I don't want.
It's a hide-a-bed. It's not a badly "shaped" couch,
but it could use the services of a talented tailor,
or perhaps the creative application of half a roll of
duct tape.

It took me a little while, but I finally found the latin for Corpus Delectable, and I'm impressed. (B+B chant: explode, explode, EXPLODE!!)

Hang up here...
Iron Justice, I exist in your imagination. No one else
can see these posts. Only you. Only you. Only you can
prevent forest fires. You. You. You, and sometimes why.
Iron Justice, protector of the incense, only you
can see my posts.
Livia
delectable isn't a latin word; it would have to be delectabile
ho hummmmm
Quinn the Eskimo
Edit, you are a little messed in the mind. I can see your posts, and I'm not IJ. Your powers are strong, but not as strong as the cold (dark) side.
john hinkley
i masutrabate and thinking of danger
Easy
Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know there is someone new here and to say hello, go easy on me, been awhile..............
Livia
you won't be here long
unless cave bear changes his mind yet again
Joe Carrasquillo
I'm afraid not livia. This time the move will be a permanent one. I've spent
too much time on unix systems not to like them. Linux is a gentle, forgiving
system with lots of unexplored nooks and crannies. Most of my friends and
associates conduct their business there. my childhood friends, most of which I
could easily stay in contact with is yet another reason. the idea of a
permanent node-host is one i like. the hardware (ethernet, scsi, large media,
cd-rom, 28800 modems) isn't truly being utilized with a dos based system. once
i have everything comfortably running, the site will be opened to the general
public as a gateway (which shouldn't be too terribly long) and who knows, i may
even go a step further, buy an actual unix os and offer slip/ppp connects if it
turns out well. if not, i have nothing to cry about because i will have tried.
i don't know because i haven't tried it yet. i could easily pick up a cheap
286-12 with a 40 meg ide and set it up here to continue cave bear's laire but
for what? the interest just isn't there and there are plenty of other citadels
here. i will not be needed, wanted or even missed in the least.
I am keeping cbl.sea opened and accessible until the switch is made but the
direction for me is clear. you have made your point about my leaving and
returning although the (unimportant) reasons were not divulged by me as i did
not feel reasons were neccessatated in this cybernetic collage. perhaps it
would have been better if i had not said anything at all, perhaps it would have
been better if cbl.sea had never been a part of the citnet so as not to incur
your skepticism and i sense your slight disappointment as well, otherwise you
would not even bother to point out the previous failed attempts by me.
i ran a dragcit, mavencit, turbocit, gremcit and citadel plus respectively
for a few years prior to now. it's time to go rojita. this isn't a divorce but
a parting of ways.
peace
JayDee
well, you will be missed, anyway, Joe
but your decision will work out to your advantage
and that is how any decision should ultimately be based
Livia
and you're leaving just in time to miss the first /065 public release
Metal Maniac
Call The Metal Shop (206) 243-3372
Blain Nelson
Livia -- that sounds remarkably similar to an announcement.
Black Wolf
well see ya later Joe/Cave Bear, I for one will miss your posts...
Counselor
And, when will that be, Livia?
Ian
It already happened, Counselor.
First public release, though we are calling it a test release, just because.
Knight Shade
damn, ij he writes just like you, no spaces.

Pllpht, KS.
Metal Maniac
Call!
Joe Carrasquillo
Thanks Black Wolf. I've applied for my domain name to my site. It will be called "biteme.com" since "byteme.com" was already taken. It will be running on a 1 gig Linux system @ 28800. I'll announce the official operating date here as soon as I get my crap together. I'm trying not to get too much said about it since it will officially be some sort of a business although I won't be running it as such and this sort of announcement really isn't appropriate here.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Please pick up that test release of Citadel+ 065! You will not be sorry.
JayDee
big file69 received, TS
