REDMK6GLI Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 LOTS of butthurt in here today. Its forky he does this to get a rise out of people and its funny sometimes. He is a pretty bright person as ive read some of his posts in here, he really isnt breaking rules perhaps really pushing the envelope. Ive always thought the avatars we're pretty funny, the chance of the family of the deceased person finding this is almost as low as hitting a record high powerball as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 there should be a way to block avatars...Some of them are distracting not to mention hideous...there is an ignor button to press...It comes in handy at times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstorm Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 William and I are friends and I like to bust his chops a little about age (I am older than he is). Forky has been using avatars of a bunch of different old ladies for a while now. I was so relieved to not see MDecoy anymore that I was surprised another old lady caused such a stir. I agree it is quirky, but I was blown away by the "outrage" that it generated. I'm not outraged at all... he can do what he wants. I don't want him banned, I generally like his contributions. I just think his pathway to an avatar is pretty twisted and I found his false deference to the woman offensive. He's always been an odd bird, but this is crazy deep end stuff.

He's had these avatars before, from long ago. I remember a specific one he had of an old lady around early Feb of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRRTA22 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm not upset in the slightest of this miss and the past miss. Our time came and went. It was a very different winter and it would be in my personal top 5. Cant wait for severe weather season (if we have one lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I don't want to make a blanket statement because I don't read his every post, but what I've seen here is for the most part not actionable despite the chorus of cries for his banning that seems to follow so many of his posts. It is my perception that there is a certain mob mentality prevailing. it's not as cathartic to hurl rocks at the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 It's funny how the board makes members change avatars that have women in sexy clothes, yet mocking of a women who died is approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 It wasn't a waste at all. I enjoyed every minute of tracking it. Besides, what else is their to discuss on a weather board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I wasn't sure whether I believed it, so I did a google image search for Eunice Jackson. It was just a name that popped into my head because it had the same cadence as Beatrice Wilson. Sure enough there are about 50 photos there that look like they could have been Forky's avatar at one time, but my favorite was this: For the record, I have no idea of the status of Eunice's health nor am I mocking her, but you must admit, that is a memorable image.

Will - Rutgers Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Wouldn't it be an amazing coincedence if that woman in Forky's avatar died during a weather event wishcasted for by the more enthusiastic members of this board?

SnoSki14 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 This is the worst end to winter. What a tease. Spring weather cant come soon enough. Go away stupid storm and piss all you want on the fish. That's the difference between weenies and true weather enthusiasts. The weenies want highly irrational and highly unlikely snow bombs in their backyard while the enthusiasts and some mets actually take the time to appreciate and be in awe at such a powerful and highly anomalous storm.

Yanksfan Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 In my 30 years of being a winter weather weenie, this month is by far the most aggravating as far as missed snow opportunities. a lot of late night tracking for nothing! Bring on spring, let me regroup, and I'll be back on the saddle come next December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yanksfan Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 With a predicted el Nino slated for next season, that will bode well for us as long as its not too strong. A weak to moderate one would suit me just fine. Lot's of juiced up storm chances. Couple that with some blocking, and we'll be in business!
