I don't actually think that, but these days the discussions in this tribe are banal that I miss Adam and the Floaters.
Wow... now that'd make a great band name.

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 3:26 PMthere's a determined effort to confound any serious discussion. Take Shooter's labor protest last year. A bunch of idiots came out of BM offices to trivialize Shooter's claims of poor worker treatment at BM. OK, you can disagree with the guy and banter about the issues, but to just meet it with comical derision is one dimensional to say the least. Bad comedy at that.
This just ain't the place for serious discussion MP. It's a drunk party. Sorry. -

you go, you must be describing yourself because you aren't describing me

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 3:33 PMactually I took Shooters labor protest seriously. I have some big concerns regarding the corporation and their decisions. -

Tue, May 6, 2008 - 6:26 PMsorry, there are exceptions. You guys are cool.

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 1:30 PMI took shooters protest so serioulsy that I became DPW to see what really goes on. Shooter was just hitting hom with his protest. I feel for those on the DPW. -

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 3:03 PMIt's not that I don't believe that DPW are mistreated. If i were DPW I wouldn't want Shooter speaking for me, because he's most effective and annoying people rather than getting things done.
YMMV

Wed, May 7, 2008 - 8:34 PMShooter does himself and his causes considerable damage by his odd habit of deciding that someone has insulted him or his and then going after them like something out of Les Mis.
Labor may be a worthy topic, but there will never be reasonable discourse of same if Shooter's part of the discussion. -

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 8:50 PMFishy, you've had some bad interactions with Shooter. I don't know anything about that. The video I shot got about 10,000 views and it's still up. The concerns seemed valid enough and a bunch of people who work and volunteer corroborated some of the claims made in the video.
Shooter is a sort of Hunter ThompsonesqueKrakaueresqueCombat Juornalist. He's wild and brilliant, like many here. I'm sorry you've had a bad time with him. I happen to like the guy based upon my interactions with him.
Do any of us really know who the other really is? -

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 9:40 PMYou know who Eddie is. -

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 9:40 PMAnd you don't mind using me as a weapon against him. -

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 10:00 PMOh boy..... Look. I don't know who Eddie is. He's a disabled guy in a wheelchair. Maybe. I don't know for sure. He usually stalks my posts, especially anything related to 9/11. His comments are acid tongue and designed to insult and hurt. I'm sorry if pointing to what I perceive to be your courage and good humor in dealing with your disability found use to me as an example to him of how to deal with adversity, rather than slinging shit on these e-boards with those he disagrees with .....hurt or offended you in some way. I apologize. It wasn't meant to be used as a weapon. That wasn't my intention. I have genuine admiration for you , all the shit you have to deal with and your engaging way of dealing with it here. -

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 10:08 PMLook. You know Eddie as well or as badly as I know Shooter. Why can you have enemies and I can't?
And playing Good Cripple/Bad Cripple is as demeaning to me as it is to him.
And for what it's worth, Eddie's been good to me, although I don't have that on video tape. -

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 10:14 PMI'm not saying that you can't dislike Shooter. I'm saying that I don't really know what your gripe is with him. If you're friends with Eddie, that's ok with me. I believe that enemies can become friends too. Notice that Badger and I are getting along rather well these days? There's a story behind that. I did apologize ti you. I think my intentions were good, maybe should have thought about it some more before posting, but I'm guilty of shooting from the hip sometimes too. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Pretty good description of my toilet most mornings. Ahhhhhh...

Re: Floating Man and why it'll destroy Burning Man.
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 9:43 PMI'll go with the comment about the floaters in the toilet. The tone of his posts and his channeling of Rush Limpdicks' style of destructive division didn't add anything positive to this group. It's unfortunate that this thread will certainly wake the sleeping. Prepare for the diatribe....
