Hi Jason.

Evil Bytore here...


Are you guys just torturing Tenacious, or did you kill him?


Just a wandering mind...

What is this new place ???

Fire the guy who came up with the idea. lol!!!!

That is just silly. Segregate the masses. That's gonna work.

Right....

That whole idea is down right stupid. You should sell this site, while it is hot. Or did you already sell it???

Future stuff...

Be as Taliban as you wish, but you cannot stop us, the minds of men...

Just throw us all in that other place. Rather Nazi.

I hold my Friends dear I have met, and do not think for a sec, you will succeed....

Just fire the guy doing this. lol

None of you will get away with this. You should know.


Not a big fan of banning freedom of expression.

I got to admit, funny joke. lol

But never **** off a bastard, just not a good idea...

And I am pissed off. I told you to fire the guy doing this. It's too late now, another joins the chase..

Guys and gals, really what you do is like cheap ass programming,

I am amazed you did not see the power. It was like right there!!!


Before you!!!!

And then you hire this guy who goes a little Nazi. LOL!!!






Ok, I will take the money, just wait...

And do not try sue me.


It was not like I never saw.


You bannish freedom, yes, very cool. Here lives le prison. lol!!!

We will escape!!!

Not Jason, but John here.

No need to think of this new forum as a bad place.

Think of it as a place where you can come and put your feet up and listen to some killer tunes.

It is not our plan to banish anyone here. We do get a lot of complaints from people that the main forum has too much "noise" though.

Even with all the complaints, I would rather leave things alone as much as possible and ironically that was what made Tenacious mad enough to leave.

I can put killer tunes on when I wish too John. lol


You do not see it do you???

Fair enough, but do not to like segregate this, it's a crime. A little prison for the head thinkers...

Go ahead and post in the main forum, and if I don't get any complaints, then everyone can be happy.

But if I do get complaints, then I'll have to make a decision and I figure moving the party to another room is much better then closing a thread or putting any other restrictions on members.

I also understand that this is harder for people who have been here longer and like it "the old way". For that, there is also the HOF forum.

You are a man among men. I still have plenty to say and post but it will be done in the proper way and times. I want to stay for a while and see how all the sheep and lambs do under their new shepard. Baa Baa Black sheep where did you go?
Baa Baa, Black Sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, Sir, yes, Sir, three bags full.
One for the Master, one for the Dame—
None for the Little Boy that cries down the lane.

StatFox John, it's over. You did not see le power.

You are all fired. lol!!

it's deeper, how could you even try shut the minds of men down???

I got to think...

This prison is nice. Who just played with my toilet???

It was Ragotop. I needed one more Betovean thing, tabernac!!!

They should just call it prison Ragtop.

In jail with le copper.. lol!!!

Did ya squeeze some weed from a punk? I could use some Raggie...

Do you mean that the Sheriff isn't really the Sheriff but a Warden instead??
And all this time I thought he was a King?
History lesson time:King John was born in 1167 and died in 1216. Like William I, King John is one of the more controversial monarchs of Medieval England and is most associated with the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215.

John was born on Christmas Eve, the youngest son of Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. As a child, John tended to be overshadowed by is older brother Richard. Like his father, John developed a reputation for violent rages which lead to him foaming at the mouth. Henry left no land to John when he died so John was given the nick-name John Lackland. In 1189, all of Henry's territory went to his oldest son, Richard I, better known as Richard the Lionheart.

In 1191, Richard left England to embark on the Third Crusade. He left John in charge of the country. John's reputation as a leader had been severely dented as far back as 1185 when Henry II sent him to Ireland to rule. John proved to be a disaster and within six months he was sent home.

In 1192, Richard was imprisoned by Duke Leopold of Austria as he returned from the Crusades. John tried to seize the crown from his brother but failed. In 1194, when Richard finally returned to England, John was forgiven by his brother.

In 1199, Richard was killed in France and John became the king of England. His reign started in an unfortunate way. In 1202, John's nephew, Arthur of Brittany, was murdered. Many in Brittany believed that John was responsible for his murder and they rebelled against John. In 1204, John's army was defeated in Brittany and John had no choice but to retreat. His military standing among the nobles fell and he was given a new nickname - John Softsword. The defeat in north France was a major blow for John and a costly one. To pay for the defeat, John increased taxes which was not popular with anybody other than John and his treasurers.

John also succeeded in falling out with the pope in 1207. John quarreled with the pope over who should be Archbishop of Canterbury. The pope excommunicated John and put England under a Church law that stated that no christening or marriage would be legal until the time the pope said that they would be. Church law said that only christened people could get to Heaven while children born out of marriage were doomed to Hell. This placed people in England under a terrible strain and they blamed one person for this - John.

In 1213, John had to give in and surrender the spiritual well-being of the whole country to the pope. However, the pope never fully trusted John and in 1214, the pope proclaimed that anybody who tried to overthrow John would be legally entitled to do so. In the same year, John lost another battle to the French at Bouvines. This defeat resulted in England losing all her possessions in France. This was too much for the powerful barons in England. In 1214, they rebelled.

John was forced to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215. This guaranteed the people of England rights that the king could not go back on. In 1216, John tried to go back on the Magna Carta but this only provoked the barons into declaring war on him. By 1216, John was ill. During the war, he suffered from dysentery. He also lost all of his treasure when he tried to take a shortcut across a stretch of water in the Wash, Lincolnshire. As the tide rose faster than he expected, his baggage train was engulfed. Just a few days later, John died and was succeeded by Henry III.

Despite the obvious failings of John, there is still some evidence that he was not as bad as some have tried to make him out to be since his death. It certainly was not uncommon for kings to have their names tarnished when they were not alive to defend themselves!

le plan...

A couple of spoons, and we dig out of this prison!!!

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day

That was some great piece of work. Loved it. Sort of hit home. Really got to me, if you know what I mean?

I hear you Ragtop, across time and space.

They know we will break out of this prison, question of time... lol

The vision is near, a land of freedom. Cannot get the final stuff in place.

And who ate my pet rat!!! I was saving it for a nice prison breakfast!!!

They say prison will turn us against each other. It might be true.

Let me go count the prisoners here, one of them BBQ'd my pet rat... I can feel it!!!

May not have been another prisoner. Maybe it was a Screw/Guard/Corrections Officer/zookeeper??

Tabernac, I just injected...

I just injected serious thought. No drugs. Threw on le CD...

I saw Rush several times, always a wicked party. RUSH fans have to be the most polite rock fans in the world. lol

Weed every where, it just like got given away. No bird flue back then, so taking a toke from an other, pretty safe...


RUSH opened a door. To Ayn Rand.

I would not read this, until we find the guy who ate my rat. lol!

RUSH music is a trip Ragtop. So different. Part of the machine builders code.

We will be free again Ragtop, the Bytore soul sees le future.

I am just a bit of a lazy bastard. lol

Canadians...


More RUSH


Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.

Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.

Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie,
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.

All the world's indeed a stage,
And we are merely players,
Performers and portrayers,
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.
