"My 2 cents, (as though anyone cared)" Posted by Venus on 13:02:16 8/22/2001 No doubt this should go in the WOR but since it's temporarily gone, I'm posting here. Over the past six months I have deleted the bookmark for JW several times, having become so thoroughly fed up with the behavior of some posters. Something (insanity perhaps) keeps bringing me back. I have been scrolling past threads that don't interest me for a very long time. I don't understand why others can't do the same. I also don't understand how adults can behave so badly, and downright stupidly!! I glanced at those threads that deteriorated and exited quickly. I would like to see the posters who caused this havoc thrown off the forum forever! It is clear they enjoy this sort of thing and the forum is not their primary interest. I have had enough of them. Dunvegan, throw them out on their asses and let's restore civility and good behavior to this forum. If they aren't banned, this will happen again and again.

I feel that the vast majority of members would agree with you. If and when an indictment comes, how many would turn to JW for the latest news? Not too many, if yesterday is any example of what they would see here. I apologize for any part I may have had in continuing the squabble. I can't seem to scroll by the more egregious posts without responding. In future, when I see posts like that, I'll just switch over to another forum, or better yet, turn off the 'puter and take a walk.

I do think that JW is the 'forum of record' though. What would jams talk about if not posts from here? Oh wait, she doesn't read here. The posts get emailed to her! And on CS, pedro cannot get over the fact that he is banned from here. I don't know how the other forums would fill threads if not for JW.

"arvada," Posted by LurkerXIV on 14:00:08 8/22/2001 Let's not forget Flamesleuths here. 99% of their material comes from knocking JW, its posters, and its webmistresses, past and present.

I started reading at Justice Watch way back before it was JW. I have checked in daily since Jan 97 and used to find many interesting and enlightening threads. I am sad to say I rarely even check in here anymore. I know things are in transition, but most of what I see here is not worth spending my coffee breaks reading. I hope soon to check in and see case related issues being discussed the way the used to be. I know it's not easy after 5 years to find something new to talk about but anything's better than trashing each other and arguing. I feel it's disrespectful to JonBenet's memory to have a forum named after her and act like children on the playground. I don't mean to offend anyone, I just wanted to express the frustration I'm feeling. How rude of a lurker to jump in and say things like I just did eh? cedar (aka: canpro) in case any of you might remember me from way back.

"We care" Posted by RiverRat on 18:03:27 8/22/2001 about the posters, the forum and JonBenet, trust me, all of this would have been a lot easier if we didn't.

"For all of you long-suffering stalwarts:" Posted by Dunvegan on 22:46:23 8/22/2001 There are plans for expanding Justice Watch with content areas, community action programs, and more. I'm going to do my level determined best to get past this last week, and then work my heart and soul out to put our amazing resource to work. The forum will remain, almost exactly (layout, software, etc.) the same. But new areas are being built adjuncts...I hope I have your support in this continuing endevour.

"I like it already" Posted by Ally on 05:52:21 8/23/2001 Dun, and I don't blame you for not being able to tolerate a no-holds-barred place like the WOR. There's a new sheriff in town, folks, and let's go with where she wants to go. 8D Maybe we could have trucrime chapters or RT Justice Watch Communities in the four regions of the country, for "do's" and things. Texas isn't the only place for a do! (is it?) Thanks Dunvegan. [ REMOVE ] [ ALERT ] [ EDIT ] [ REPLY ] [ REPLY WITH QUOTE ] [ TOP ] [ MAIN ] 10.

"Just a comment here" Posted by Watching you on 06:40:44 8/23/2001 most of us who have used the WOR from time to time have enjoyed the fun we had there. I don't think it was ever meant to kill each other, though some might disagree, LOL. For the WYs of this world, a place to act up a little and bust each others' chops was all it was ever meant to be. I am one who laughs a lot, enjoys life, likes to cut up a little and trade good-natured jabs with others of the same mindset. It was also a good place to just blow off some steam, but it was never meant, at least IMO, to draw serious blood on anyone. I always took that armor suit business to mean if you didn't understand or appreciate the humor and fun of picking on others of the same ilk who did understand it and didn't get all bent out of shape about it, the best thing to do was stay out of there. Sure we flamed each other, but WE knew we were having fun, not going for the jugular. I don't know what all that changed, but even I didn't enjoy going there when it did.
