DV in the Crosshairs

[THINK.....]

Great you remember that and them..........Faces aka small faces ( their first name). Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood ( now a Rolling Stone) original group.

They did my favorite song. "Handbags and gladrags". Very few folks even remember that one.

Think.....well said. And you're 100% right: rice IS better than sand.....but you gotta stay away from Betty!

Are you guys suggesting Isolationism? To block out the Newbies from DV? Not disagreeing with anyone, Ive seen the CRAP posted and didn't agree with any of it, just wondering if that"s the correct approach. If I had a better idea I would toss it out, but I don't.

Time to put on my war paint.....

Can you ask Yoda to hook me up with a blue saber ?.We must wipe out the sith that attack the DV Jedi.

Guilty as charged. But I remember that "Maggie" song.....and a few others.

Heck it was, how many?, more than 30 years ago....Almost 40 yrs infact....

The rice wasn't bad, just the neighborhood.

Maybe some miss the obvious, at least to me, that the people that seem the least civil are Newbies.

I was a newbie 2 months ago and this site was like shining a light in a cave. I saw where it was impossable before. I am not saying all Newbies are this way. It is probably less than 10%.

We as a family need a cohesive battle plan on how to get rid of the totally obnoxious ones. HOW?

I hope and pray that ADAM, staff, and Moderators come up with a workable plan soon!

Why not try to follow the golden rule.

I tried to make this same point yesterday in a comment on one of the threads. It would seem the site is, indeed, under attack! What used to be a rather pleasant, and fun, experience in coming here and seeing what dinar friends had to say about things has become a fearful experience, where I am saddened by the lack of respect being shown to our own people by newbies who do, in the short term here, constitute an invasion of sorts. We are seeing less of the pumping and a lot more of the personal bashing.

This is just not the same site I joined and I wish it was. Things were a little tense now and then with the expelling of angst among tense investors, but there was always a certain amount of respect among the core members. Now, it seems, in an effort to be welcoming to the newbies, the site has forgotten just what elements have made it great and left a lot of people, like me, disappointed.

I hope things get back to DV normal ... the way things are now is rather dismal. As the saying goes ... nuff said.

Some newbys are not what they appear to be. We just need to recognize the wolfs in newby's clothing......

[tandy]

Class of '68, and they only appear as newbys. I was waiting for a response to this effect. Changes not the facts.

Thanks...to both...few decipher!

[tandy]

Doesn't take long to recognize the crackerheads. They tend to have anti-social skills, negative comments and bashing tendacy.

A lot of the newbies don't fit that shoe but they are recognized as well. Good post Think. I like what Smee2 wrote too.

[THINK.....]

Well folks, it appears the attacks have been successful. Just read most of the mods are leaving. Give the devil his due, the did what they set out to do. They have broken DV. I hope the R/V hits so it will be for nothing.

[AZ Native]

Never say Die!!!!

Its not over, just another page turned.

[paperboy]

THINK - Nope, sorry you're wrong. "Most" of the mods did not leave. Most of us are still here and are supporting Adam in his decisions. There was alot going on behind the scenes that you guys haven't been aware of. Adam is taking the high road, but also has to maintain control of this site. His integrity is above reproach, and he has my respect for his handling of this situation. My hope is that it all smooths out and blows over soon.

DV is NOT broken - we are all here & doing very well. DV will continue, as strong or stronger than before!

That's the spirit. DV is not the only site that is experiencing what I've read here tonight. Maybe there is an overall attack on anyone or any site involved with the dinar? Not sure exactly what the motive might be, but comments made here have also been made on other forums about similar things they are experiencing.

[Shinnidan]

Did i hear someone say...."Counter-Attack"?

(Please verify range for target) buwhahaha....

No....?!? shoots...oh well...

*disappears in to the dark shadows...once again...*

[Goliath]

the thing I like about this site it you are allowed to have and express your own opinion regarding any topic. Unlike the other sites that only feed on "HYPE".

[7 COME 11]

Why not consider a temporary (until July 15th?) moratorium on accepting new members? Not squashing the free speech, just "defending our borders".

Most anyone into this seriously is already here.

I'm all for that!

[capt.cliff]

The vermin have no place else to go and they are coming here, they have been banned on the other sites---don't think it is coordernated at all ,just it is this sites turn to host them !

Glad to see it. That's the spirit. Stand firm and stand tall or sit down. I think a lot of this site and the DV family or I wouldn't be here (to stay). I do know more of what is and has been going on behind the scenes than I post publicly. Some things people need to figure out for themselves. I don't feel it's my place to inform them. And with that said, I will just say,

Goodnight Gracie and, "May the schwartz be with you"

PS; Didn't Dot Matrix have a bangin can? I'll bet the tin man would agree......

Thank you for the post. Certainly, I agree! Though it appears there is still a bit of poking and prodding afoot, which needs to be contained or mellowed a bit.

God Bless America!

So much drama for a dinar website. I think everyone needs to keep their ego's in check and realize this is not life or death. It is a bunch of people who are sitting around talking about a worthless currency in hopes that something happens.

The whole international intrigue and rampant conspiracy theories of attacks and "us vs them" seem a bit silly to me.

I think we all need to get over ourselves and get back to the business of having fun with dreaming about what could be.

Peace

They did my favorite song. "Handbags and gladrags". Very few folks even remember that one.

Chase also did a fair job with that song.

I have both on vinyl.
