      The other thread here introduced a negative vote and we weren't even told that might be a possibility. So how sacrosanct is this voting process?

          Positive vote for Steve.

          Negative vote: Marley. [no offense, I just don't see Marley as tolerant and understanding enough to be fair, he may see me that way.]

          Nothing against both Dawn and Nonamae.

            That's the past Paula, so this is your projection. Sorry you feel that way.
            Btw, I believe this is the place to vote *positively*, not negatively, but I guess that'll have to go for everyone else since you neglected to respect that here.

        Paula: "What goes?"

        The request to vote positively.

        People don't vote *against* other candidates in the real world polls, they just vote for who they want.

        Voting against someone is simply childish and hostile. Not very keeping to what this tribe is supposed to champion.

        Sorry Lori, you had a great intention, but I'm afraid it's lost on some people here. It was worth a try though :o)

      Alexyana (aka ".") -it's Nonamae. Not No_name. Please be respectful of her. She deserves it. She has a good heart and is simply overwhelmed with her real life. Otherwise, none of this would even be necessary. Blessings to you Nonamae, wherever you are, whatever is happening in your life right now.

        My recollection of voting is that it is possible to vote No.

        Since I don't live in the particular fantasyworld that you live in, I can't take your word that this is only "a positive vote."

        Your disingenuous concern and politically minded gesture towards Nonamae is duly noted.

        Namaste!

        "it's Nonamae. Not No_name. Please be respectful of her."

        No_name was due to not remembering her alias and my ?psedoudislexic? reading.. i sincerely thought, at the time.. that it was no_name..

        i apologize for ambiguity..

        I agree with you that Nonamae more than deserve respect.. I like her to be permanent MOD...specially due to what she is going through..

        it would be nice that we all kept her in our minds and hearts with this gesture.. let's just have a temp mod..

        stretching my 2 cents..

          LOL, thanks for clearing that up Alexyana :o)
          I think most people experience a bit of pseudodyslexia after being online for too long. That's why I can only handle being "plugged in" for short periods of time.

          It'd be great if all was well in Nonamae's life and she could be more active here, because other than her absenteeism, she's a great moderator as she possesses, IMO, all the other ideal qualities of one.

    So yeah, I'll vote for myself. I'd be totally fine with anyone who wouldn't take a heavy handed approach though.

    Call for closing the vote and elect a temp mod

    Mon, June 29, 2009 - 9:38 AM
    With a new temp mod, the elections can continue as normal.
    whenever profanities and vularities are thrown around laissez faire like.. I think it's time for housekeeping, lest this tribe become too emotionaly toxic.
    • I see: Dawn 3 Lori. glis, Brian

      Nonamea 2 (..) Mrs. ** also Mrs voted another vote as Marley voting for Nonamae bu tI didn't see his vote for such.

      Paula temp 1 by (.) that means in a way (.0 has voted twice as voting fo ra temp MOD dillutes the procedure a bit

      Steve 3 >_ (Mrs. again) Dale

      Soo which vote of Mrs is THE VOTE?

      I think I understand only one vote per person and negativ votes are not something we are counting int his determination.
      • Votes I count for Marley: 5-6*

        Little Lightening Bolt
        Sol
        Bill
        Will
        and myself

        * if people can vote for themselves like Steve seemed to, then we can say 6 since Marley nominated himself.

              You don't make the rules.

              This vote has not been sanctioned
              This is not Iran.

              This process is now terminated.

              Additionally, of 1213 members here, what...6 people have voted?

              Fucking pathetic.

              I think most just don't care, or don't see the legitmacy of this vote.

                correction lori, "Ok It's time for a new mod..." is the original and parallel thread for voting, so the votes there count as well. just because you started a separate thread to weed out all other conversation about this voting process doesn't negate the votes over there. no need for previous voters to vote again on your separate thread.

                i'll cast my vote for marley because he's keeping the peace apparently well on other tribes and trust he will do the same here. that brings his count up to 7.

                oh, and mrs doppleganger... give it a rest. you can't terminate any processes started by someone else. what are you -7 years old or just deranged? the voting for bush wasn't sanctioned either, so comparing america to iran is asinine. also, as in the real world, it's those who vote who create policy/change. the majority of people on this tribe being inactive doesn't negate the wishes of those who are active.

                lori, unless you want to perpetuate your own frustrations, i suggest you let go of constantly telling people "votes only please". it was a decent idea, but not very practical or even realistic considering the general participation in this tribe.
              • well terminat eit or not. Either way.. Marley wins.
                Yahoo!

                Marley Marlkey!

                He has more time to spend to get alts to vote.
                I see no reason to takeanything here seriously anymore.
                • oops Mrs.. actually about 15 have voted.. and hwo many of them are Marley's alts?? Gehenna and Sheesha are.. who else?
                  • This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
                    Cathy, why can't you accept that I'm not posing as any alts?
                    I continue to show you consideration and respect, so why do you insist on continuing with such insults as insisting I operate alts to support myself and calling me names like Marley Malarkey, or insulting my friend Shesha by intentionally misspelling her name? What did she ever do to earn your insults? You're only impressing yourself. No one else is humored, and this is one of the reasons why this vote is happening in the first place. You say you want this to be a "safe" tribe, but you continue to make it a hostile territory for others. Why?
                    • there is no respect when you use phrases like, "we all .... you here," you assume power inappropriately. You pretend to represent all here. Many do not support you. They have said so!

                      Some are upset with some of my words.. that is definitely true. My focus has been to create safety from YOU Markly and from Gehenna for all .. especially new folks whom may wander unknowingly into your realm of shadow and anger.! Some say just ignore Marky .. just ignore gehenna.. it doesn't matter what they write volumes of disgusting stuff. Those same people would have a response if their names were in your drivel. 3 people left this tribe due to Gehenna's actions.

                      Re Sheesha and you Malarkey.. go back to many tribes and situations in which you wrote hundreds of insults I was too smart to read.. in response to my 30 or so words...I have time to paste and post links .. just as you do.. I restrained myself and finally called you a few names! Have you written to all your friends yet Marky to seal the election? Like you did before? You have 2 weeks left..

                      You have a history of going after women.. Marley. That history included me in a bad way.. who else? the woman you harrassed with the calls? The yoga studio owner? Shel?
        • As my time is, I sometimes can be away for a week or two. If I thought I could be on often enough to be effective I would do it in a heartbeat. As it is, I'm afraid of doing a half-ass job for lack of enough time and attention.
          • So far as I can tell, we have only three members running for mod (I don't see the point in voting a "temporary" mod, so I'm not counting Paula in this one -no offense or anything Paula):

            Myself - 6 votes from Little Lightning Bolt, Sol, Will, Bill, Shesha, Gehenna

            Steve - 4 votes from Paula, Dawn, Dale, Freewill

            Dawn - 3 votes from Brian, glisTenz, and Lori

            I think it's safe to say that voting for one's self doesn't count. However, I'm suddenly remembering past presidents being shown as casting a vote at the polls for themselves, so if the majority thinks that's allowable, I won't object, however, I don't see the point of it since it would raise all nominations by a vote of one anyway.

            Btw, Dawn voted for Steve, but she's running too. Should that count then? It doesn't make sense to me that one who's running would vote for someone running against them -even though this is for the same cause: voting in a new mod to see if that improves the atmosphere here.

            If I've miscounted, please someone correct.
            • someone please check the vote count

              I have question with Gehenna and Sgheesha voting as I knwo they are alts of Marley's.

              The vote for Nonamea is not on th elist by marley.

              We have voting open til the 24th so we need to move towards assuring the votes and those who wish to vote to decide and vote.. that's me also. I contacted oen person who lef tupset awhile ago.. she said "it's too toxic to be involved" so that's one departed member and how they handled it.
              • Cathy, what *proof* do you have that Gehenna & Shesha are alts of mine? Unless you can provide *proof*, it's just inappropriate to keep insisting on this falsehood -not to mention how stale this issue is (amongst others that you hang on to).

                You *believe* that Shesha is an alt of mine because of what an angry ex of mine said who was simply trying to discredit me to cover up her own character flaws.nYou only *believe* that Gehenna is my alt because he's called you on your behavior. You believed that Isa was an alt of mine for the same reason.

                You have talked with Shesha as if she's separate person, and you've referred to Gehenna as though he's a separate person. You keep going back and forth on your position on them, as it suites your mood or agenda.

                If anything, your persistence in accusing other people of having alts (I'm not the only one you've accused on Tribe) reveals that there's more than a fair chance that you're operating alts of your own. Only you and an angry ex accuse me of having alts, and if it were true, it's more likely than not that others would've picked up on that by now.

                I already explained my reason for not including the vote for Nonamae, and to restate it, it's simply because the current vote is being held for a NEW moderator. The majority of the active members of this tribe have made it clear that we are way past whether we should stay with Nonamae or not. The votes are in that a NEW moderator is being called for. I'm not trying to steer the vote in any way. I don't need to. I think you just can't handle the fact that I'm not all that you keep insisting that I am, and that people vouch for me while you have no visible support in kind.

                Of all your accusations, no one has ever backed you up in public, whereas everything I've said about you has been backed up by countless others throughout tribe. You would do yourself a huge favor to drop your twisted personality/popularity contest with me and try to earn respect on your own merits rather than try to earn it by discrediting others.
                • I go by Isa's statement. It made sense as Sheesha never contributes except when she swoops in for a Markely back-up. Gehenna uses your exact wording and certain styles. I am not accusing .. I am stating. I have not stated that any other on tribe has alts.. why you use the word people? People is a plural word.

                  I have no personality contest with you. If there is one, it's in your head; it may explain why you write lengthy tomes .. Those in Star People are legend! And the MOD doesn't believe in deleting threads! Your legend persists. Here also, you show intense verbosity. A guy on a rant! I am bothered that you may harm women here with your games. I said it enough.

                  This is the voting thread. I am discussing voting. You might win.Oddly I thought of you 20 min ago, about the possibility of opening my PM to you to discuss when you mod. I deliberated, decided NOT safe for me.

                  Be well Marlakley. Practice what you say you do. Stay out of trouble in yoga studios and harrassing people in PM's. People do grow up - you may also. Some day you might stop using sweeping generalizations to over-emphasize to make your argument seem stronger .. or you will continue.. it's also called the 'small man' complex. And lying.
                  • This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
                    hey guys, can we stay on track here? voting only.

                    Conscious relating is about owning up to our own shit rather than accusing others, right?
                    Maybe take it private if you need to have this discussion together?
                    • Sorry Dawn, I was trying my best to keep this in context with the vote, but I found it hard to not get into certain details here in an attempt to resolve this in terms of clarifying the vote.

                      I've always kept an open door policy regarding PMs with Cathyq, but I think you can see that she's not interested in that as much as fabricating justifications to generate drama with anyone she can, out in the open, to attract attention to herself. If one observes carefully, they can see that all the details she keeps raising in her drama with me, or anyone else, follow the same themes, and are thus really all about her -not the other person.


                      • markley please keep your malarkey to yourself.

                        I choose to not get PMs from you. Did you keep copies of what you sent me in SS? Not wotth going backwards..

                        However I do eat my words regarding the possibility that you may grow up. Your recent post is enlightening.
                      • Dawn, I also meant to ask you in my previous comment here what you think I should've said, or how I should've handled Cathy's comment. As I said, I tried to keep it in context to the vote, but I found it hard to do address it without opening up ancillaries, which, as is already evident, is taking a life of its own that's stealing energy away from this thread.

                        And for that purpose, I will not respond to any more of Cathyq's comments that do not support the intention of the thread, and I appreciate the fact that others have managed to keep their focus on the vote instead of feeding further energy into Cathyq's drama.

            Thu, July 16, 2009 - 5:35 AM
            thanks Dawn, you rperception is interesting.

            2/3 would be 66%

            On this thread there are 130 posts
            I made 28
            Marley made 22

            28/130 is about 1/4 or 25%

            I understand the point youare making, I do.

            Overexaggerating only feeds fire and rumors.

            I am done however with a certain topic. I have done my best at that. The election is essentially over. Thanks for running and saying your words.

              You make a post for every one or two posts by the remaining 10 persons who write in the tribe. I made an actual count a week ago (before you deleted your threads) of the top 10 threads posted in. You were every second response in all of them. I mathematically calculated it out though, at that time. It is no hyperbole.

              Please take responsibility for your overbearing actions.
              • Re: too much

                Thu, July 16, 2009 - 11:33 AM
                I can take responsibility for posting often. I am not however posting 50% of posts. LOOK at many threads. Some I don't even post on.
                First you said I post 2/3 of th eposts. Now you have scaled it back to 50%. Neither is accurate, but atr least you attempt more truth in your words. Your impression it is too much is heard.

                A recent poster thanked me for kndg her of danger inherent here. I am done with a topic. I have said so and stick with that.

                I am wrong for wanting this tribe to be a safe place to discuss personal things. I am wrong to have held onto that for too long. I ws wrogn to invest a lot of time in Noname sendign her things she requested and believing in her promises. That translated to anger with her dropping out. She made me a few promises which were not complete.

                You can count posts. If you count bashing words or lines.. you will see much more from M at me than me at him. Math is math.
                peoples' use of it to make a point greatly depends on it's use.

        my suggestion was a process where two final candidates emerge such that those people who voted for candidates that ended up in the minority count would get a chance to vote for their second preferences..
