twjolson & Kay Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 You combine two separate personalities into one screen name. My screen name isn't two personalities, it's a screen name represtative of two people, me and my darling dear. And since I don't allow her to have a personality, only one personality belongs to my name. Link to comment

+MrCOgeo Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 That icon is disrespectful, granted(?)... but where's the outrage on this drug-free family friendly board about this one: I mean look closely at the sequence, what exactly is that frog licking?

+Always & Forever 5 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Wow. I never thought I'd see so many posts about a stupid frog eating popcorn. If we all posted what "upset" us, or "offended" us, what a huge crying towel this would become! Laugh it off!!! Nobody is being disrespectful if they post this: Kinda ironic that someone who calls themselves "Hugh Jazz" finds a popcorn-eating frog offensive, isn't it? Link to comment

Hugh Jazz Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 I would like to amend the topic to include the protest of the use of emoticons featuring frogs playing violins or other stringed instruments. Those too are offensive and disprespectful and in violation of forum guidelines concerning respectful conduct vis-a-vis others, and I respectfully submit that these too be rescinded from the site. Emoticons featuring frogs playing the saxophone would be preferable, as the saxophone has never been associated with anything disrespectful in any form or shape. I may need to create yet another personality to deal with this situation. Your disregard for forum decorum is in itself disrespectful of all site users. Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 The icon is fine. It's how it's used that can be disrespectful. That's going to vary by the poster.

Every now and then I see a topic or question and then I see 20 posts in a row about popcorn and llamas. Sometimes it is rude.If you look closely at the icon: the level of disrespectfulness totally depends on whether the frog is smiling or frowning. Obvioulsy an evil grin would be disrespectful but the nice pleasant smile is OK! You mean something like... That's cool. Could I get a non-disrespectful smiling one with the frog playing a guitar instead of a violin? I might acutally use that one as an avitar.... unless, of course, that would offend someone's sensibilities. Link to comment

Jan Since you quoted me for some reason I cannot fathom I must stress that the stuff I printed here is a joke and I was just kidding. Hence the two smileys ( which I use a lot cause they are kind of cool ). On the issues of strict Freedom of Speech ( note the CAPITALS ) Groundspeak has the right to censure as long as they are reasonable in such duties. They should not show favoritism, try to overthrow the government or use negligent actions in this endeavor. This forum is owned and operated by Groundspeak and you have given them permission to censure by using it. I have been having a bit of fun with the management by stressing that we have SEMI free speech. Keep it lite and breezy:o Link to comment

These may actually be subliminal EROTIC images designed to corrupt the minds of geocachers. The moral breakdown caused by these images could lead to even worse activities such as the posting of popcorn eating frogs or violin playing frogs. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!

+SilverMarc Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Those of you who know me in person know I've made no secret that I'm actually lowracer in the flesh. But before you cry foul, Hugh Jazz is no SockPuppet. The lowracer account was self-terminated some months ago. A new persona was desired, more in keeping with my current interests and patterned after the smooth yet intellectually stimulating Jazz of Hugh Masekela. In keeping with the 'smooth' theme, the persona of Hugh Jazz (sorry this is not intended as a non-family friendly name as you'll see "Hugh Jass" was already taken and by a fellow austinite no less!, though the reference is there for those who will see it and I admit it is kinda funny) does not incite statewide geo-secession (what, Kansas secede? get real, where would it go and who would have it?) and Hugh does not cache on other listing sites besides this one, though he is knowledgeable about the features of each site and will tell rebel-rouser Texans like Snoogans to go cache there instead if he doesn't understand or accept how this one operates, and leave the rest of us to enjoy things the way they are, the way they always have been, and be respectful to each other and never ever shout or use derision, or call for any site volunteer to be fired. Hugh is respectful though perhaps a bit pompous in the forums and does not flame others nor is he ever disrespectful vis-a-vis the owners of this or any site. (Hugh also thinks the French phrase 'vis-a-vis' is patently stupid and so therefore tries to interject it into any place where it really doesn't belong but sounds like it might.) However, that being said, and steering this back on topic, Hugh really does find the popcorn emoticon offensive and would like to request that others not use it in a derisive and disrespectful way, as has been done today (a fine example to prove the point of the original post). Oh and the Hugh Jazz persona does not hunt micros and will never place one unless it is a really, really, BIG one. Yes it is possible to place a huge (and by huge I mean five gallon sized) log-only microcache. As you will see. BTW Judy_Jetson is no more. She fell to the dark side of the force, effected a gender and species change, added some cyborg metal tech stuff, and was reborn online on Unreal Tournament 2004 as "Darth_Jetson," and now nightly kicks butt in Onslaught, usually on the clan server known as "House of Pain." Sorry but the IP address escapes me at the moment. Look it up if you want to try your ski11z against Darth_Jetson. Hugh Jazz doesn't play online games. He caches in Wichita KS, where they're still caching like it's 1950, with Wally and The Beav. Really, there's no other way to describe it. If you haven't cached Wichita, come try it. It's quaint. It's refreshing. Bring the kids, bring a nickel for the movies... ...and Pass the Popcorn. Thank you for clearing that up. (Now, let's see how many ways a simple statement like that can be fraught with alternate meaning...) If I'd placed a popcorn eating amphibian there, people (or Hugh) might yell at me! If I'd placed a big grin there, people would rally for me! If I'd placed a Hugh Jazz there... (Oh c'mon - I'm KIDDING NOW!) I like Popcorn Signal, no matter how many alternate meanings he engenders (did I lose anyone on "engenders") [grin!] --Marc August 15, 2005 @ 2:59 PM N40° 46.565' W073° 58.756' Link to comment
