Are Flies/Mosquito's a problem?

I'll Just Leave This Here:

"Q & A Forum Etiquette

Welcome, everyone. Just a couple of guidelines to keep this a productive and informative forum:

1 - This is meant to be a safe place to ask questions. There is a lot of info about Burning Man out there. You are not expected to know it all but please read through the Survival Guide and take a minute to browse the other topics here before posting. The answers you need just might be right in front of you.

2 - That said, new folks often have the same questions as old folks did when they were new, so they get asked over and over. This is to be expected and anyone who gets frustrated by the repetition may want to consider spending time in another area.

3- That said, please do not make snap judgements based on a question asked. Answer with information or move along.

Ok now, what is it you wanted to know?

Well now, I've been put in my place. I think I'll just curl up in the fetal position and re-examine my miserable existance. Thank you, oh thank you mugdellian for putting me back on the straight and narrow! Oh blessed day!!!!!

LOL ya, she is an annoying, presumptuous, bitch for someone with less than thirteen posts. (and "bitch" was not my first best adjective for what I wanted to call her, but I decided to be polite and not use the "C" word.)

Thanks. Ya, i think you're right; she probably is a sock out trolling.

Now that I think about it, you might say this thread seems to have it's own little mosquito problem.

It wasn't a bad question. And she got several excellent responses. So why did she go off then? Still not clear what was the problem. And then the pointed "lecture" about etiquitte. Eiiyah, what's the beef?

Are you guys confusing the op with the other person posting?

It all seems over the top to me.

No, we are not.

hell, I got reamed (by both), for posting a list of threads, with differing opinions and anecdotes, so she could come to her own conclusion.
sans snark, even.

Trolls? could be.

I agree, this is pretty awful IMO.

Oh, yes. It's just awful. Awful, I say. I've never seen anything as awful ever before. It awfully awful.

By the time, she responded, it seems she was responding to the whole thing with essjay.

You were helpful, but also a bit preachy, but I don't think she was commenting about you.
She may correct me.

J Kisha, what the fuck?
Aren't you the guy who wanted to make sure everyone got a welcome?

It's not like it was an open ended question.

I am only now able to get search to work sometimes, and I do it with some tricks I have figured out.
I still routinely get 35,678 responses sometimes.
Zero correct.

Someone posted about winnowing new people for survival reasons!!!
Self reliance, survival, bla bla bla.
It's not crossing the negev with a gallon of water.
It's one dangerous step past Bonnaroo.

Hell, it's so hot this year, that Bonnaroo probably came closer to doing people in, in three days that the playa will.

It occurs to me that every day I am facing more dangerous conditions than are on the playa.
And I have to do that until october, or I'm dead.
I'm only talking about the heat too.

Get a grip folks.

Want danger with your playa?
Come help me move things in this humidity.
People are already dying in this heat.

I could use the help, seriously.
My vast internet empire can't seem to cover the ten grand movers quoted me, so I'm doing it.

My pulse rate hit 200 the other day, and I wasn't even working hard.
I just had to stop and sit.
I happen to know that will get you right into a hospital here, if it won't slow down.

I really wanted to be done by now.

This Magdelene is someone that actually built something to take out there.

We can educate them nicely, if we need to, can't we?

I still do, I didn't realize this was the "introduce yourself" welcome forum. Oh wait, it's not.

And since when did you become the expert and protector of forum decorum? Try setting an example with AntiM before you go giving me lectures.

Oh, and I actually like what she is bringing. I just don't like that she and essjay or whatever their name is can feel justified pontificating without taking the time to get to know us all first. I don't mind being pontificated to by people that take the time to know me and my eplaya friends first.

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 10:27 am

I did.
I am still being overly nice about it, considering.

I kept quiet as long as I could.
No one else spoke up, so I did.

I'm afraid I encouraged her by being too nice.
I think I am still having that effect, considering what recently happened.

I have the same opinions as everyone else on here.
But they don't count if one says nothing.

Anyone that doesn't like the situation with AntiM is welcome to do something about it.
I didn't start this.
I didn't make it public.
I'm not going anywhere either.

Everyone has had and still has the same opportunity to complain to her.
Don't expect me to not respond.

Do you really suggest this as a serious comment, or as satire?

Little lame to blame the messenger.

She does seem to have gauged the nastiness acceptability level of this crowd though, hasn't she?

If you accept her shitting on people on this forum, don't complain that is smells bad now.

Looks like this went downhill when I wasn't looking.

Locking down until you can all cool off.
