LOL

Okay, thekid3477 and gazettefan: Enough already ... TIME FOR BED!

thekid..., be fruitful and multiply.

exactly

thekid..., it appears your attitude about this is, to say the least, slightly biased against me. Here's your problem right now: You disregarded the basis for the current issue. Go back to that other blog and read how the dispute began with eclipse. Really focus. And refrain from tailspinning into a lot of wild generalizations like you already did. What I originally said was clear. You've yet to dispute that in detail.

Yes, I understand you better than you understand yourself. This is the universal conceit of humanity at the same time it is the tool or gift of the novelist. Universal means we are all complicent (or guilty) in this conceit. (I don't need you to tell me that.) But props to you for using the word "arrogant." Good choice. The other person is especially arrogant if you're on the losing side of a dispute; but if someone's honest, they'll confess to arrogance even when they're on the winning side.

Even though it's arrogance, it's not just a matter of slamming the other person with direct insults, which is something you fall into quite easily. If you had grasped the details and meaning of the basis for the original dispute in question (with eclipse), you wouldn't have fallen into your tailspin. All you did was react. You didn't study or analyze. You didn't point to anything in my original statement that would indicate that the statement was unclear.

I take my cues as to what you think from what you say and how you say it. You're too defensive and this defensiveness prompts you to attack others. You should make a better effort to understand what you're reacting to or responding to.

part of the problem here gfan, and i mean this in the least insulting way possible:) is that you are arrogant. you dont even realize how you are arrogant, which sadly, makes you seem more arrogant to me:) when you say that you are just writing what i 'really meant'. or you say that someone made an 'erroneous claim' that one of yo posts were unclear. that is ARROGANCE. you are stating that you know my thoughts even better than myself or that you at least know how to explain my thoughts better, and that because you understand your post and someone else does not you now have the rite to insult as long as you use 'reasoning'. i know you prolly dont think youre arrogant cuz to you, you have a logical sensable reason for all your posts, and for all your beliefs. the thing i think you fail to grasp gfan, is that so do i. so does everyone who posts or believes in anything, or they prolly wouldnt. i personally dont care how arrogant you are, or anyone is. you are yo own people. i was merely trying to point out that again you spew hypocrisy when you said insults were not ok, 2 min before you typed a post that was insulting the persons intellect.

I was explaining why he made the erroneous claim that one of my posts was unclear. My responce was reasonable. What was I suppose to do, respond as though his post made sense when it didn't?!

I give him credit for trying but he must learn to write better. Lots of reading helps a person write better.

i only RANT about one thing. you drug me into the convo yesterday gfan. i agreed with delta and then you wrote what i 'really meant'. i posted that i thought it was funny and hypocritical that you can say direct insults are uncalled for and two seconds later point out that someones reading level must be on par with their ability to write clear. you said it was reasoning, but there was no reasoning in that post, just putting someone down. how is that me complaining?? seriously??

But seriously, you ranted at me because I was correcting someone who was erroneously claiming that I wrote an unclear post.

I thought you were the guy who sells stuff out of the trunk of your car.

psychotic?? irrational?? that may be a BIT overboard. that post got deleted cuz i dropped an f bomb. and maybe you saw it as complaining, but i looked at it as more of a question to you about seeing things in my posts that i dont write. you responded perfectly and how i would have guessed, you were just writing what i 'really meant'. you have no idea who i really am. i could have been the guy who took yo money at the gas station, or the nurse who took yo blood pressure, or guy 3 rows back who nodded off in church on sunday. you dont know. but you know what i 'really meant'?? how come you dont know what i 'really meant' when i said i never complain?? ill rephrase one more time. i dont complain in real life, other than about the current prohibition, but thekid3477 prolly will write posts that sound like complaints. especially when ignorant people try to judge based on my marijuana knowledge or the fact that i smoke on a more than regular basis or if peeps try to continuously re-post what i 'really meant'. make sense??

Especially that one that got deleted on the other blog yesterday!

What about your psychotic, irrational rants against me?!!!

hmmmm. indeed. i guess my rants/knowledge could be construed as complaints by some. but i dont look at it as complaining. i look at it as educating:) let me rephrase anyways. i never complain about the little things in life. lifes to short and theres always another bowl to take me worries away....:)

Never complain. Hmmmmmm.

i never complain gfan. my meds help me live a COMPLETELY stress free life. why complain??;)

;-)

So you're not going to complain about censorship in this case?

thats what happens when people hear the ignorant words rolling thru their heads and actually type them out:)

thekid..., it looks like jvls.... has been smoked!

ive never met officerfriendly. he/she are more than welcome to come share my bong tho. anyone is. its nothin special tho, i ordered it over the net from amsterdam and its only like 18 inches. it works tho;) even judgemental people like yoself jvlsuks are welcome to come self medicate with me, anytime. be warned tho, and i know this is a scary thought, but you....might....learn....something......

It was one arrest too few if they didn't arrest Petty!

i wonder how many arrests were made while i saw tom petty a few weeks ago at summerfest

I never liked that sand-hippie. He's just another Willie Nelson, only with a funny shirt and no funky headband!

officerfriendly yer my hero;)

I'm confused why officerfriendly1's comment was "a disgrace to law enforcement". What's with the personal attack?

Why is this news? When Jimmy Buffet came to my city earlier this year, there was no news story on the amount of arrests.

lol. 'our kid':) love ya too sarahB. while i am for 100% legalization, i will take anything we can get, and the fact that they are simply ticketing these people instead of arresting them is a small victory in itself. the problem is the tickets are for mere POSSESSION. nothing more. not using. not driving. not selling. not possessing quantitys. not being a public nuisance, thats hypocrisy as long as responsible free american adults can possess and consume the 'eviler of two evils' without risking a ticket. ticketing is better, but its not good enough.

Hey, where is our Kid? No comments yet from him? Hope he didn't get arrested or something at that concert.

Why dont they get the real crap and big guys leave personal use alone for cripes sake. devide that in to the amount of arrests and what do you get lol

I knew I shoulda went to that concert.

Deputies also responded to two complaints of car crashes, seven complaints of disorderly conduct and one complaint of a fire, according to the news release.

The fire was the guy with the doobie.

Mark - your post forced me to reread the Gazette piece - I guess my eyes deceived me the first read-through....52 grams is nothing, 52 ounces, 52 fat ones, 52 Bob Marley fat ones would be something.
*
I am not a user of anything stronger than our pitchers of margeuritas pre-concert, but it sounds like DEA made a major score of....52 grams?
*
And how is the last line germane to the headline?

I'm not "targeting" DMB concert-goers. I only mention them because they are listed in the last the sentence of this article. Chill guys! Aren't you fans suppose to be all "peace loving" and stuff anyway?

Mark; my sentiments also

Get out of town! Drugs and alcohol at Alpine Valley? Drugs and alcohol at a Buffett concert?

One ounce contains 28.85 grams. The WCDEU confiscated "nearly 52 grams". That's a total of 1.8 ounces. That is a very minute amount for 35 thousand parrotheads (0.0008 grams / person).
I wonder how much us taxpayers paid per ounce for that enforcement?
And, Gazette, you folks are doing tabloid journalism again, huh? Saying "nearly 52 grams". Why not say 1.8 ounces or put it in perspective?

Zoom's got it right. Typical Alpine concerts--what bands play there without the entire grounds under a haze of smoke? I don't think you can target just DMB. Give me a break.

That's a pretty broad assumption, stupidjanesville. I love the Dave Matthews Band, and have been to numerous concerts. For your information, I pass on grass. Always.

Sounds like a typical Alpine Valley concert...good times.

Well the police better getting ready for all of those DMB fans. You can get contact buzz standing 3 miles away from Alpine when they play.

And did anyone really think that a concert outside would not have any of this...especially Jimmy Buffett (happens all the time - read the news where he goes).
