Verbatim started a thread telling everyone to "forgive and forget." He said that Kat basically needed to follow her religion better by being forgiving, but then he called her a troll and a fake. And then, after several people accused him of trolling again, he deleted the thread. Surpise surprise.

Yeah--there's a 19 and 20 listed, but at the time you posted it, there was no 19 and 20 posts, and Derrel and Frisco are not Verbatim.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
I don't think people should be allowed to delete threads any more (except our administrators and moderators, of course). Deleting your own posts seems OK (although it should still say "Post Deleted"), but people shouldn't have the right to delete others' posts like that.
Just my 2 cents.

It's not a conspiracy. Sorry.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Dagonee, I'm fairly certain (UBB experts correct me if I'm wrong) that it's both or neither. The ability to delete posts means you can delete threads. Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :
No, no, mph. This thread is topic #22722.
Verb's thread was #22722 before it got deleted.

I agree to a point. I've deleted threads that had no responses in an effort to keep older, more deserving threads up at the top of the lists.
But this just seems to be confusing....
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
You see, kat is Bana_OJ, and has the powers to impersonate OSC_fan, as well as delete Verbatim's posts. Pretty impressive!
Posted by Verbatim (Member # 6319) on :
mr porteiro, if I had deleted the first post in this thread, the whole thread would have disappeared, so I didn't start baleeted.
Also, where is Kat??

Starla, Kat couldn't delete someone else's thread. Only the thread starter and the moderator have that power. Verbatim's just covering his lies with more lies.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Dagonee, one of the things I like about Hatrack is that if I realize after I post something dumb that I have, I can go back and delete it. (Especially accidental duplicate posts.) I don't want it to be like my other UBB forum, where I have to ask a mod to delete my (edited to blank) posts.

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
Verbatim, no one can delete a post except the author and the administrators. And to prove it, here I have copied the entire thread that you deleted for everyone's reading pleasure. You won't be able to delete it because I posted it. Only the administrators could delete it.
Verbatim, you have lied again and again, just as OSC-fan saying things that anyone who has been here even a little while would know for a fact are false. If you want to be respected here, don't delete your posts, stand by what you say, and for goodness sake, QUIT LYING!!!!

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Verbatim started his thread - number 022722
After some exciting activity there, the thread was deleted. The only people with the power to do this are the mods and the person who started the thread.
Frisco immediately started this thread to comment on the now-gone thread. It was also given thread number 022722, since the previous 022722 was gone, it was the next sequential number.
The page Yogi linked to records posters' activity by thread number, but displays them by thread title. Since the thread number currently references this thread title, it means the Recent Posts page for each poster is not always correct.
The real issue is being obscured: Out of 22,722 threads, how many do you think were about Hatrack?

In case Verbatim is still here, here's a little factoid for his edification.
Nobody can delete anyone's posts except the moderators and the person who wrote the posts. The moderators have not been deleting any posts lately. If your posts are disappearing, you may want to look inward.

Frisco, you're making me blush. Although I'm delighted to be lumped in with Banna and Tom. It's highly amusing.
Rivka, that would be cool. I'm all for trying things - I aquired a taste for tonic water rather quickly.

Velvet J is a cool name.
Mr. Portiero Head, there is no way Verbatims actions could be attributed to ignorance. Verbatim deleted it's own thread and then tried to get everyone to believe kat did it. He was ignorant of the mechanics of thread deletion, but that doesn't make him ignorant of trying to entrap someone else.

pooka Member Member # 5003 posted March 15, 2004 11:30 AM We were apart for about 4 weeks waiting for my first baby to be born. And then when I was pregnant the second time my husband thought about moving 700 miles away. But I didn't want to go. So he sort of commuted, and we didn't see each other much. I've taken 4 or 5 vacations without him. But it's mostly because he's sort of married to his work.I think it did help me take him less for granted. For a while, anyway. Then I did again for a few years. Now I'm back to appreciating him again. Posts: 2988 | Registered: Apr 2003 | IP: Logged |
Ghost of Xavier Member Member # 2852 posted March 15, 2004 11:32 AM Wait, who is getting tortured?I certainly don't feel like that. I feel tortured reading about the couples who hate eachother, fight all the time, throw dishes, and can't stand the other's touch much less want to have sex with them.If you'd rather read them there are far more of those stories floating around. These ones give me hope that my own future marriage will be equally happy and rewarding. I can see how you would not like them if you are never planning on getting married yourself, but even then, I don't see how hearing other's happiness can hurt you at all.And if you are planning on getting married but just haven't found the right person, then I would still take hope from this. You are still in your early to late 20's right? Where I was (New York), and even where I am now (California), you'd still be considered young to be even thinking about marriage. And who knows, you may meet the man of your dreams on hatrack .But I will delete this if its me being too nosy. I just don't see why this makes you upset. I guess after meeting you I suddenly assume I can ask personal stuff.

advice for robots Member Member # 2544 posted March 15, 2004 11:36 AM kat, that last was spoken tongue in cheek. I should have put a smilie on it. I personally don't mean to torture anyone, especially for my benefit.That being said...Why snuggling all night is uncomfortable:1. Way too warm.2. We always end up breathing the same oxygen.3. Anytime either of us budges, we both wake up. And we both tend to toss and turn in our sleep. I absolutely cannot sleep in the same position all night.Intimacy doesn't have much to do with it. It's a pure practicality issue. Yeah, we cuddle, we exchange backrubs, you know...but getting enough sleep is a serious issue that we do not mess with.

katharina Member Member # 827 posted March 15, 2004 11:38 AM No Xav, that's fine. You beat me at air hockey and we were collectively puzzled by children's toys. You can officially ask me anything.It isn't me. I'm not even bothered - it's some sort of protective instinct kicking in, I think. I know it was bothering some other people, but then, just not reading the thread is a good option. Sort of like it's hard for people who are trying to get pregnant or who just lost a child to hear about someone having their baby. Honest happiness is great and understandable, but the smug kind is too much to ask for people to listen to. I do have to admit that oneupsmanship of any kind sort of annoys me, although I recognize that it's human. For the other current example, see the Nerdity Test thread. But I'm thinking about giving up on this particular fight against human nature.Added: Xav, you're a doll. And afr, gotcha.

Verbatim Member Member # 6319 posted March 15, 2004 11:39 AM If I am tired I sleep, no matter if I am in a warzone, on a plain, train, boat or car otherwise I read, can't stay awake in bed without reading (with few exceptions, of course) Also as a reminder of our vows I keep the following on the wall, it helps us remember to be nice to each other, and, I read it every time I am mad about something, it helps me stay calm and keep things in perspective.The Family: A Proclamation to the World The First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day SaintsWe, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshiped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize his or her divine destiny as an heir of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God's commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God's eternal plan.Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. "Children are an heritage of the Lord" (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.[This proclamation was read by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society Meeting held September 23, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah.][ March 15, 2004, 11:46 AM: Message edited by: Verbatim ] Posts: 37 | Registered: Mar 2004 | IP: Logged |

Kwea Member Member # 2199 posted March 16, 2004 02:55 AM I haven't noticed too much competition or smugness here, just people who are happy and want to share their happiness with others.When I was getting married, all of my friends were happy for me, but almost all of them had questions or worries about married life, even the ones that were married themselves. I got so sick of hearing all the little jokes and comments that I was relieved to find this thread. I thought I was one of the olny happy married people around! I know that I haven' been married all that long, but for God's sake I waited until I was sure. I was 33 years old, not 18 or 20, and I knew that people change; the trick is to grow together instead of apart.So I am very happy to hear that we aren't alone, and that there is hope for many more years to come. We waited until we were more certain of who we were to get married, and that makes us more grounded than a younger couple. Not that it can't work out if you are younger, just that you have that much more growing to do individually that it is harder, that's all.Kwea Posts: 453 | Registered: Jul 2001 | IP: Logged |
BannaOj Member Member # 3206 posted March 16, 2004 12:21 PM I find this thread intriguing in a way because it basically vindicates to me that aside from religious issues and social acceptability, there is no reason why I should get married, other than for all of the legal perks. Unmarried.org which verbatim found so funny actually is quite useful and has has a lot of suggestions about legal issues for both same sex and opposite sex couples.I'm in an extremely happy non-married relationship and could say exactly the same things as most of the married folks in this thread are saying without the nightmare hassle of a wedding. <and I have yet to see a wedding where the participants aren't stressed out and miserable while pretending to be happy>So I just don't see the point, I really don't think being in a secure happy relationship is dependent on actually being married. As said before, there are a lot of miserable marriages out there too.AJ Posts: 4171 | Registered: Mar 2002 | IP: Logged |

Anyway, even though I prefer being married to having a non-legalized (but still valid, IMO) union, I have to object to Verbatim's tone. I understand that you think you are coming from a religious standpoint (or you are trying to make the appearance of coming from a religious standpoint, or something, I'm not making much sense here), but I inferred from your post that all non-married sex results in STDs. Is it so unlikely that premarital sex can be a faithful union? Plenty of married partners get STDs from extramarital sex, and plenty of non-married partners are completely faithful.You are being mean for no reason, and I object.

katharina Member Member # 827 posted March 17, 2004 12:05 PM This has actually made me rethink my prejudices. I believed much too easily that Verbatim was a Mormon girl who got married right out of high school and is just sure that all non-members are two seconds from killing themselves out of despair.Tom: Yeah, looks like OSC-fan. Maybe OSC-fan can be the new Ced.[ March 17, 2004, 12:07 PM: Message edited by: katharina ] Posts: 11154 | Registered: Mar 2000 | IP: Logged |

TomDavidson Member Member # 124 posted March 17, 2004 12:06 PM Whereas, oddly, I've never met a Mormon that stupid and never believed for a second that Verbatim was one. Posts: 14137 | Registered: May 99 | IP: Logged |

imogen Member Member # 5485 posted March 17, 2004 12:09 PM AJ, me too. Except my time frame is almost 7 years. Looking back, I wouldn't encourage teenagers to take the same steps as I did at the same age. But I think my approach was healthy. One relationship lasted 3 years and was fantastic for that point in my life.The other (and my latest) has lasted almost 3 1/2 years, and I feel quite confident in saying that this relationship is it. Check on us in 40 years time, and we'll still be together. I understand pre-marital sex isn't for everyone. But in my case, I have no problems with it.

BannaOj Member Member # 3206 posted March 17, 2004 12:10 PM Speaking of marriage, does anyone have any ideas on how to do any sort of long distance wedding shower? I am the maid of honor and can only make it to the wedding location three days before the wedding, which puts a distinct glitch in things.AJ Posts: 4170 | Registered: Mar 2002 | IP: Logged |

jexx Member Member # 3450 posted March 17, 2004 12:19 PM I think you rock, too, AJ.(edited to add that AJ rocks extra for saving the thread on her hard-drive. You are a smart cookie!)As far as long-distance wedding showers go, I'll have to think up some ideas for you. I have participated in many on-line baby showers, but they were all for on-line communities, and not IRL people. Are the wedding shower participants on-line sorts of people? You could do a 'virtual shower'...webcams and such...That's all I have. Sigh. Sorry.And also: Yay! This thread is fun!PPS: beatnix, I'm sorry life sucks right now It will get better, I promise.edited to add: Verbatim that's just silly. You are a silly person. If you were sincere, you would stop pussy-footing around and just post the darned email/IM/whatever instead of being all cryptic and such. Besides, we have a LOT of newcomers on this board recently, and most of the genuine ones have been welcomed and 'you rock'd.[ March 17, 2004, 12:22 PM: Message edited by: jexx ] Posts: 904 | Registered: May 2002 | IP: Logged |

imogen Member Member # 5485 posted March 17, 2004 12:20 PM AJ - Do you have to organise the wedding shower, or is it just sending a gift?I guess a gift you can do easily... various online services will deliver great presents amd gift hampers (I got two from my Mum for my 21st ) But given you are the maid of honour... Hmm. Can you delegate?Can you have a very late wedding shower? Combine it with a hen's night - have a nice afternoon, pamper youselves, then go out for cocktails somewhere glamourous - it could be fun. Posts: 930 | Registered: Aug 2003 | IP: Logged |
TomDavidson Member Member # 124 posted March 17, 2004 12:20 PM That's a hard one, AJ. Perhaps you could conflate the shower with a bachelorette's party? Posts: 14138 | Registered: May 99 | IP: Logged |

Occasional Member Member # 5860 posted March 17, 2004 12:21 PM I am a little confused. Why would someone fake, "the best Mormon in the world?" if they weren't LDS? On the other hand, I do agree with Tom that there are not too many LDS members of the "ultra-orthodox" that would even go as far as Verbatim does in projecting a "us" better than "them" stereotype. Those that do would not even BE here.Its making my head spin.As for marriage. It has its good days, it has its bad days; just like any other human interaction.

PSI Teleport Member Member # 5545 posted March 17, 2004 12:30 PM My hubby pats my head before he falls asleep and says, "I'm so glad you're my wife." And he makes me coffee every morning even though I don't wake up to drink it, and it's cold by the time I do. That's how much he loves me.And I drink it. That's how much I love HIM. AJ- I've never offended you? Haven't I, in almost any thread about pre-marital sex? Maybe my posts aren't well-written enough to offend anyone. And if you offended me it's really only because you called me on something stupid I said. I HATE that.

It's a pattern.Jexx, I didn't mention all of them, it's a long list and the fact I received it in a e-mail it's because I e-mailed a member, so this member had my e-mail address and must have passed it to one who is issuing these warnings.

TomDavidson Member Member # 124 posted March 17, 2004 12:36 PM Seriously, Verbatim, as amusing as all this is, this is a perfectly good thread -- so would you mind moving over to another thread to lie about yourself?Otherwise, I'm just going to have to keep begging people to ignore you.

BannaOj Member Member # 3206 posted March 17, 2004 12:37 PM To disagree, even profoundly, does not create offense, at least in my mind. I take very little personally in an argument like that. To me even the use the word argument does not necessarily connotate offense. It means a hashing out of ideas, and seeing where everyone stands.A lot of this has to do with the way I was raised, where argument/discussion was the normal form of comunication and if you took it personally you would have spent all day every day bawling.AJ

I don't think anyone wants to suffer through more of that. It's good that you posted it though, just so we have a permanent record of Verbatim being a jerk.
