When will it end???? - apparently sooner than we all thought!!!!! THANK GOD
Published on August 27, 2004 By H-Bomb In Blogging
Bare with me people I know this is long.
I had written this before I saw you had all made up, but I wanted to post this anyway for my own piece of mind……I’m not attacking anyone on here intentionally or trying to insult anyone, so if you think I may offend you and you don’t want to hear this then please don’t read on.

I just wanted to let you all know that my blog about deleting comments was not an attack against Muggaz, and if that’s how it came across, then I must learn how to re word my blogs.

Trin was right though, it was a personal matter between friends, and maybe it wasn’t exactly the right place to express it, but I did it anyway. (I can’t even remember what I wrote, so if anyone knows please fill me in so I can explain myself.)

I still don’t think deleting comments from your blog is the right way to go about things, and my article was as I said before was not an attack on Muggaz. I was simply once again expressing my opinion on having the power to just banish someone’s views/opinion on a matter that you both have different views on.

In saying that though I have the exact same view on Blacklisting – You say feel FREE not to read it if you disagree, but shouldn’t a person, no matter what their view is, be allowed to comment without someone Blacklisting or deleting there comments???? Where’s the freedom???
Let people leave their comments no matter how much you disagree because thast their opinion and it gives the rest of us a chance to see more than just the one side of the topic.
So just ignore it if you disagree and don’t take their bate.

I’m getting alittle off track again.

The funny thing about all of this is before I wrote my blog I hadn’t seen half the stuff that has been written in here and to go in and see my name and the article, as links is ridiculous. You’re just grabbing for anything to use, if your using things I have said to help your arguments.

Trina I agree peoples blogs on here are getting kind of childish, mine included, which was never my intention.
It was never my intention to be brought into this joeuser war to start with and seeing that it has I will say it again its ridiculous.

You are all taking this way to serious
- crying cover up
- getting rid of evidence

What the devil are you on about seriously???
You called Tracy a paranoid skitzo, what do you call that? suggesting cover ups and getting rid of evidence. I think you need to rethink your comments before you post them.

You say you didn’t like the way Muggaz spoke to you , not only on this occasion but on others also, I don’t see any of you guys being angels 24/7, you too are capable of the comments that wouldn’t make a person feel good. So I don’t know who you are to be judging someone else.

LW- I think you have been holding a grudge for sometime now about how Muggaz “tired to get rid of you” and you finally have a “reason” to have a go at him.and your taking it alittle far. Instead of trying to have a discussion about it and trying to work it out you blacklist him so he can’t respond??? How does that help???? And anyway as far as him “trying to get rid of you” your still here yes?? So get over it and move on.

Gideon you say it should have been kept between you and Muggaz? That’s a fair statement and I agree 100%, but how is Muggaz suppose to respond to you when you blacklist him????
His only way to respond to you and be heard was for him to write his own blog, so you would hear him.

It all stems back to you only wanting people to see what you want them to see, so you yourself are just as bad!!! You make your comment, he responds (probably not the best response but one all the same) and what do you do? You blacklist him!!!
Oh and also Gideon I to am Australian and I am very proud of where I come from as are you!
I just wish if you had something to say about Australia you would just say it already because the amount of times I have seen u write “There are so many things I could say” THEN SAY IT PLEASE get it out and off your chest already. This is a place to express yourself so do it!!!!

This was getting ridiculous.
As MANDKS said none of you know Muggaz, and as you have pointed out ‘I DO’/
So from someone who knows him let me tell you.
I have known Muggaz for a good 5 years nearly and I consider him one of my dearest and best friends, through out the time me and Markus have had may disagreements but that’s what its all about, who wants someone around who is just going to agree with everything you say?? That doesn’t exactly make for good/interesting conversation now does it??
Everything that MANDKS has told you is true he is a intelligent (sometimes it scares me just how much), sweet, caring guy who only wants the best for the people around him (I should know). He always tries to look for the best in people, but sometimes its just not there. He reacts and I think that’s what happened here, he has a lot of respect for you Gideon and when he saw what was going on he reacted in good old Muggaz form and lashed out.
Muggaz is a very over passionate person at times and doesn’t know when to stop, but that is not always a bad thing. This is a place (I know I kept saying it sorry) where people are suppose to be able to express what they are passionate about whatever it may be.

Muggaz – seriously I think you have taken this all way to much to heart ( as always) and your forgetting that you have a huge fan base here and instead of looking at all the people that do enjoy your blogs and comments, your focusing to much on the on the people who don’t.

Through life mark not everyone is going to like us or agree with us, but in the end what should they matter?????
Instead of trying to please them and get worked up over there comments, let it go and focus more on the people who are still around or you will loose them also!!!!!!

PEACE!!!!!


I do realise you all made up so please don’t start it again over things I have just said thanks……

Good post. For one thing, the issue's been resolved and done with, but as to your points:

My blog is my blog. "Freedom of speech" on my blogsite is subject to my editorial discretion, as it is in any publication. Blacklisting is a tool that was given us for a good reason; rallying the troops and lobbying to be removed from blacklist is pointless and, frankly, annoying. As for the statement of "cover up", that I know of, it was only stated by one person who actually saw the thread.

As for the statements on Australia, I don't press on them because they bear no relevance to the topics at hand. It is not good form to base a discussion with someone on your feelings towards their country's politics; the fact is, I have addressed my feelings on Australia's history and politics on threads where they bear relevance to the topic at hand.

As to how Muggaz was supposed to respond when he was on blacklist; easy. He didn't need to. For one thing, I have posted my email address on several threads; they're easy enough to archive. For another, he obviously has several real life friends on here, it would be quite easy to have him speak to one of you to invite me to speak with him on the subject.

As to the JU "war", it's no worse than food fights around the dinner table. What's done is done, and at that point, we go on.

I am looking forward to see what you have to write on here in the future, h-bomb. I hope this clarifies things for you, as I really don't wish to continue to spend time on the subject.

For the record, as to the thread that started it all, not one single word was deleted. I did not delete a single comment, muggaz' included.

As to calling the person in question a paranoid schizo...well, I've said what I've said. You can patronize his blogs all you want, but I did ask some legitimate questions about the legitimacy of his blogs, as did others. Not one of them has been answered satisfactorily by the site's fans.
