I've been logging on to the zone minding my own pretty little business posting my little posts and when I came close to the hundredth post some bastard labeled me a zone addict. Who the hell is responsible for this bastardly freakin' deed? Ooh, whow, you better watch yourself my little friend. Nobody puts a label on old Raskolnikov, nobody! Ya' hear me? Bastard!
Just wait, it'll only get worse.
Oooo, you make me so angwy I'm going to stamp my wittle foot, you, you, you wabbit you.
..rev G-O-T-'s ..here now take it easy..this BEARing your fangs doesn't become you... *goes away shake-ing head in disbelief.
...*>>Wabbits! What is this world coming too..??<<*...
*Lqqks around and sniffs air... No mean critters seem to be 'round.. Time for to go and burrow again...
It's a generic thing, is all. Annoying, perhaps, but you're not the only one with such a dastardly label. I've gone one step beyond that, in fact.
It's a full moon. I can't help baring my teeth.
mornin' is here ...at long long LONG last and so sweet the dew on the... oh wait. That's not dew...it's Frost!
LOL Godzilla. You waskally wabbit.
If you become premium, you can make your own labels. Otherwise just put up with the ones they give you.
...rev G-O-T ...NOT waskally...he futureastically!
I didn't know that people (uh intities barred their teeth during a full moon?) That explains a lot: the screams, the emergency sergery, and the resolve never to date during a full moon.
Bob
lol
So if it'll only get worse, does that mean I'll be behaving masochistically if I keep logging on? These little bastards have got me a strugglin' with my conscience!
It would appear that godzilla has undergone some sort of metamorphosis; he's turned into an infantile donald duck.
Ahhhh just for a point of reference Raskolnikov,
...some of us here have known of each others delightful ways for shall as we in NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN style say, "Many a Moon ago in passing our paths crossed and every while in passing yet our paths continually meet and Friendship bonds are made stronger and for this we give pleasant Thanks to the Great One in the skye that overshadows us with wings of protections,and yet still Mighty Hawks do soar and life too to other rewards ..." CGFK-Life-Flo of: Tribe Native Am.
...infantile donald duck...more so Giant Kong with fangs exposed and made readied to do battle for love is a battle and shallow 'tis it not.. Ahhh for refreshing deep waters.
From another point of thinking in Proverbs 18 and 4:
"The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the well-spring of wisdom as a flowing brook."

Grace, what do you mean? Am I supposed to be frightened? That's okay, fear's my little friend. But, honestly, please clarify because I don't understand what you mean.
Raskolnikov,
No need for You to fear... .
...you are not a part of the problem RATHER
you are a part of the solution..
Be of Good Cheer!
If the G-O-T has any further concerns on this matter...
Well, he would clarify. **These words spoken in Post #14 will probably rock his socks off so be prepared 'cause I heard his feet not always well..to each their own nose sniffers..*smile!
Connie ~ Grace
Further Note ~~ Please remember expression of thot not very easy for me in expression of words always enabled to give response meaningful that another at present moments passing can take in and feel at ease, comfortable with...
Please as you make Continued Journey forth, know this, that if ever I feel that something is like a concern/problem to me...I would mail you...
Another amusing post in the rant bord! That's all I have to say.
Troy
Yes T-Roy,
...one of the more Interesting I must admit.
Connie ~ Grace
Ah, the boy don't seem so tough to me!
Anyone who bares his teeth at the full moon has to have dilusions of grandeur. Think I'd stay away from him for a bit.
Bob
Hey Bob, so why hasn't a damned answer come for my original topic? Who's responsible for labeling us? Can we complain to have the damned thing changed?
Greetings Raskolnikov,
...The answer can be found in Post #9 of this here Board:
*************************************************************
... "If you become premium, you can make your own labels. Otherwise just put up with the ones they give you."
Trust this gives even a bit of clarity,
Connie ~ Grace
Excellent, Connie~Grace.
I was going to say the same thing, or suggest that Raskolnivkov put something in the zonebbs suggestions where it might be taken more seriously.
Bob
I don't know that I would think of: "in the zonebbs suggestions," good point!
Connie ~ Grace
Raskolnikov, try Elmer Fudd and not Donald Duck. That will be fifty demerrits and no soup for you for one year!
As for baring teeth under the full moon, think werewolf reference. Dammit, y'all just don't have any sense of humor! Most disappointing.
As for the real answer to the real question, those labels are automatically generated, so probably dreamed up by those what wrote yonder site. Either complain to the admins or thicken your skin and try not to get so offended next time. LOL!
I just wanted to confront the guilty bastard and give 'em a piece of my mind, see if he or she likes the taste of my thoughts in his/her mouth. I don't like being called names, and I demand an opportunity to defend myself if someone is demeaning me. I just might quit my membership on this freaking site. Damned bastards!
That's really too bad that you might want to leave the site for a simple label everyone (including the admins) are given at some point. *disappointed* Really, I hope you won't quit the site just for that; so far, I like a lot of what you have to say. But again, everyone who posts something on here gets a label whether it's the one that is showing up with your name or some other one that somewhat shows how, I don't know, committed, you are to posting/replying to discussions at the Zone. Lots of web sites, that I've read, hahve some kind of comment that are similar to these, that might indicate how much someone posts to the discussions on their sites. The only solutions I can think of, are (as others have said), to pay the (I believe) 24 or 25 dollars a year for a premium membership so you can put your own personal label, or to maybe ask the CL's or admins how many posts are needed to reach the next level and keep posting (meaningful) things 'til you get there. (Not saying that you or most people don't, but I did find a very annoying string of discussions a long time ago by someone that was trying to spell something with the titles; not if if for a higher posting status or for what point but yeah.) Anyways, if you can't or are unwilling to pay for Premium membership or to post that much, try not to let such a little phraise get to you. You one , whether here or anywhere else will pick on you just for that, and it just really shouldn't be a big thing, honestly. *smile*
Why don't you like to be called names? Do you prefer numbers?
You are seriously considering leaving this web site because of an automatically generated line of text below your name? My goodness, I think I've actually heard it all now.
Godzilla on Toast, a little nursery rhyme I learned a long time ago comes to mind: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me Ha ha! *sticking tongue out* As a matter of fact, not long ago I was given the number 5150 in the county jail here in my community. I didn't mind it so much because it kept me out of the general population.
Tinker Bell, Maybe you're right. I mean, I'm fairly new to the zone and I'm not all that familiar with the internet either. Perhaps I'm still just a little sensitive to the kind of bs encountered on the web. When I was labeled an addict, I thought it was unfair because, wel, I reasoned: why would a website that's made for the blind ridicule its users for logging on and posting on the site if the zone is one of the best sites on the internet where a blind person can escape from reality for a while? And especially for a case like mine, where I don't know of any other site as good as this one, because I'm new to the blind condition. Why would I get ridiculed by the website team (or whoever is responsible( for logging on to the only site I know of? I like it here because there are many other users who are interesting and funny. I wouldn't log on as often as I do if I knew of some other site as good as this one. Also, now that I'm visually impaired, I spend less time out-doors because I'm still adjusting to my blind condition. I wouldn't be on the internet if I could be as outgoing as I was when I had 20/20 vision.
And another thing, if users here do, as others have said, pay for a premium membership to put their own personal label, then that's gotta be an outright abuse of psychology if you ask me. But, no, I shouldn't forget that premium membership comes with many other features and that the money helps out this website. I don't know, I guess I just thought it was wrong for a website to label its users when the users are thankful for the service it provides. But I guess there are worse things I could be called, and, besides, as Harp puts it, it's "automatically generated" after all.
But I have to admit that I thought others would find it as offensive as I have to log on and hear the label every single time. Oh well, I guess you're right, though, name calling is just a part of life.
Just keep posting, and you will soon have another label. But I really think you are taking this labeling thing too seriously.
There are others on here who used to have vision and have lost it, myself included. While mine was never 20/20, it was close to it, and I think I know at least some of what you are going through. But you need to maintain your sense of humor through it all. We all hate losing our vision, but we can also help each other get through it.
"5150...has a nice ring to it.."

POST SCRIPT:
Quite a li'l jingle there...
Yeah, that's right Grace; and that's what they still call me: mr. 5150, a freakin' loonie.
Roflroflrofl! Raskolnikov, you are great. Cheers!
Hey, if you're dancing after dark, care to dance with a loon? Or do you prefer to dance alone under the full moon? I'm mr. 5150, a zone addict just like you.
Ooh, how I love things with rhyme.
I'm Jim. Your label's more generic than mine.
This poem's more lame than that of thine,
but I'll gaze to the stars, and we'll dance in a line.
great one jim you never showed this writer side in hs whats up with it i like it
...some Talents as it were show forth within a Life at a later date. smile
Shame you didn't end up with the number "fifty-four, fourty-six" else you'd have a groovy reggae song referring to your number.
Many call me number one.
he's turned gay!
Now let's go smoke some of that Bob Marley!
Yes, as "gay" as is a loon toking on some of that good herb!
from my label, I'fve already won the bronze poster award, I'm still waiting on that silver metal.
wonderwoman
I've got a new label, so does Dancing after dark, and so does everyone else who's just gone beyond addiction. . What the heck is going on here? Does this mean I'm forever in the grip of the zone? Frightening!
Be really, really nice to someone, as in kiss butt, and maybe they'll buy you a premium membership, and then you can create your own label and leave it or change it as often as you want.
Raskolnikov, being labeled a zone addict really isn't anything to get yourself worked up over. Hell I'm a zone addict and proud to admit it along with plenty of others on here on here.
If you don't like being labeled a zone addict then get premium membership that way you can change the label to whatever fits your standards.

Nay, you not bad for you DIVINE Dragon.. *hehe
Raskolnikov: I felt I should respond with a rhyme, since you and Jim did such a lovely job ... but I can't. You see, I came to post a few days ago and discovered the new title you're referring to, and I too feel your indignation now. Not because the title labels me an addict, but because it speaks a blatant untruth. The Zone BBS is not, and has never been, my home page. I feel that we should be allowed to change these labels whether we're premium or not, because, I mean, it's not true! I'd hate for people to think I love this place so much that I've made it my home page, y'know? I think we should take this further and complain to the higher-ups, but then, I think we've already seen how they feel about it. Could Dan's post have been any less understanding? Jeez! Okay, thanks for giving me this place to rant my angry little heart out.
You see you bastards! Now do you see? Finally, someone understands me.
well, the silver award and going for the bronze poster award thing probably means I post too much, but what the heck, I don't want to make them total liars, so I post all the ore.
wonderwoman
You all excuse me, I don't have anything to say, I'm just "I'm going for the prolific poster awards!" and want to see what comes next.
