This Thread Sucks: A Thread For People Who Hate The Jodi Thread(s)

[Ron_NYC]

I actually don't mind being called a "noob". Although I prefer "newbie". It actually makes me feel youthful. Every time I'm called a noob, a wrinkle magically falls from my face. At this rate, I'll be in baby diapers by June.
And the Jodi thread... It will all be over soon and MDS will be restored to it's original utopia of peace, joy, happiness and good will toward women. Just a few more weeks and it will all be done. We are past the worst of it. All that is left now is a billowing of dust left in the frenzied wake of posters. The end is near. Soon, there will be nothing left to complain about and Lo, all will be right in the world.

Fixed. Men get no respect here.

And the Jodi thread... It will all be over soon and MDS will be restored to it's original dystopian nightmare of goodness. Ron will continue pillaging noobs. Wish I could have enjoyed that. Chaunce will continue with his unwanted cultural education. Regardless, all that is right will be restored. Just a few more weeks and it will all be done. We are the worst of it. All that is left now is a billowing of dust left in the frenzied wake of posters. The end is near. Soon I will be gone.

Whoa.

I think the main problem with the Jodi thread is that's it is like a twitter thread. It moves as fast as twitter. Plus, the conversation gets off topic like twitter.
I've re-read several old threads on here and the one thing that is very clear-it's not cool to make a thread a chat thread. There are so many post per hour-that it is almost impossible to keep up with.

One good example that I will give somebody if they want to see- Go back 10 pages in the thread. Make note of every post and user that posts. What you will see is a lot of post repeat the same information. (that proves that NOBODY is reading back in threads when there are multiple repeat posts) Bob may post a very good link of an article, but over the coarse of the day, at least 10 other people will post the link like they just found it. Then there are 10 more post quoting that article saying "thanks"- Personally, when somebody posts great information....I just rep them and say thanks in their reps.

Another example- There are some people that post many, many times-pretty much right in a row. I realize some may have a hard time working the quote system, but really, if people are going to join a forum, they should take time to find out how to do things on the forum.

I know some think the old timers on here are being hard on the Jodi people. Well, that's not exactly true. If you read some of the other "hot" topics on here, you will see sometimes even the old timers get in trouble for acting crazy sometimes.

I actually think the owner/admin/mods/old timers have been very lenient and nice about the Jodi thread. I'm not trying to kiss ass, but just read any other thread. They have all bent over backwards to be accommodating to all the new people in the Jodi thread.

I would encourage anyone that is new....explore this site. There are some very good threads on here. For real, there is like a thread for everything. BTW, I think there are some wonderful posters in the Jodi thread. Thankfully, I've seen some have ventured out in other threads. If you only post in the Jodi thread, it's really hard to see what you are like if you are mixed in with crazy.

Just my 2 cents as a newbie myself.

[I doubt it]

ALL threadstarters found you to be a witchy forum stalker. Fuck off at your earliest convenience, darling.

Bumping coconut's last post to this thread.. Where is he? His friends are missing him.

He disappeared around the time the M1 verdict was read. I think his sole purpose for being here was to bag on the prosecution and cheer on the defense. Not that there's anything wrong with that per se, but he's not here anymore, so....

Ron, that was the other thread! Haha!

Well, put Berm. The REP system is great for thanking someone for contributing without clogging up the thread. I know we have all been guilty of it though, or my favorite "^^^ This too", love that one.

Gotta say, I didn't agree with him plenty of the time but he did bring an element to the thread that was interesting. His thoughts were pretty well written unlike some others that get more praise.

Excellent post!! I don''t (but I really do) expect new folks to read a 3,000 page thread although many of us do read each post or at least skim and know whats been posted already. I did get irritated when a newer person posted on the decomp smell that was just recently talked about about 50 pages back. I made a snarky comment and apologized for said snarky comment.

Pushover! Seriously though, when I first found MDS, I read the whole first JA thread from start to where I was caught up. It took like a week, not solid but a couple hours a day.

[carnee]

I guess it depends on what your point of view is.

I think this case was all about Jodi. And her looks. And the brutality of the killing. Then it became about a confessed killer defendant testifying for 18 days. And sex. And lies. Then it became about experts putting the victim on trial.

And as for Coconuts, he was one of the most popular participants in the big thread.

Yup, plus, If jodi didn't do all those interviews for "dateline" etc.. I doubt many people would have known about this case.

Haha! There are many lengthy treads that I have read from start to finish. Baudelaire Trevor Angel, and I started on the Morgan thread! And I have read ALL 3,000+ pages of the Jodi thread!

[carnee]

Angie you are absolutely correct, premeditation will not factor into whether she gets the DP at all. Premed. is what got her convicted of M1.

Right now we're in the sentencing proceeding of the trial which consists of 2 parts, the aggravation phase and the penalty phase. The judge ruled in 2009 that the state had proven the aggravating circumstance of a crime committed in an 'especially heinous, cruel or depraved manner'. (She ruled against the 'heinous' and 'depraved' prongs saying the state hadn't proved them but they were able to prove cruelty.) So we'll hear from the ME about the blood evidence down the hall and the defensive wounds on Travis's hands proving he was conscious during the stabbing and did suffer.

The state must prove cruelty beyond a reasonable doubt and the jury must be unanimous in its verdict. Then, assuming the jury finds cruelty applies we go on to the penalty phase where the defense presents whatever mitigating factors they feel are sufficient to call for leniency, i.e. LWOP instead of DP.

Do the brothers and sisters of TA speak during aggravation phase or penalty phase?

[Lady MacBeth]

Some people are here in this thread because they did a google search for Jodi Arias, is that so bad? I realize that it might infringe on some of the things you liked about this forum occasionally. Especially long time members....and for that, I apologize. The thing is, in all your dislike, you might actually chase away someone that would have been a good contributor. I have heard the whole argument, really! The fact that the "thread" has shut down the whole site before. The REP system was disabled by the smite wars and fuckery. Mods get additional PM's which I can say from experience, I would not look kindly at. I am guilty of buying into the argument , I will stick up for whatever I believe in and if you all can't deal....well, kindly fuck the hell off or put me on ignore whichever comes first. The point is that we are all interested in a diverse plethora of shit! Lets all be respectful and this could be one of the best forums if not the best forum on the web. I really like this place and would like to continue liking it, as so many of you that feel the same way. Thanks and peace out!

well done fac=q! you must be a mindreader.

the Jodi thread... It will all be over soon and MDS will be restored to it's original utopia of peace, joy, happiness and good will toward men. Just a few more weeks and it will all be done. We are past the worst of it. All that is left now is a billowing of dust left in the frenzied wake of posters. The end is near. Soon, there will be nothing left to complain about and Lo, all will be right in the world.

well said Jillee!!! my sentiments EXACTLY. I actually wonder if the person who goes by "mydeathspace" - agrees that "everyone who posts on the JA thread are 'assholes'" ? Im thinking not.

[ShellJett]

Pushover! Seriously though, when I first found MDS, I read the whole first JA thread from start to where I was caught up. It took like a week, not solid but a couple hours a day.

I did the same thing and was fascinated. I never took part in or even saw this type of forum before, and I couldn't stop reading. I don't remember how long it took me, but it feels like it was ages ago. Hard to believe it has only been a couple of months. I read the new posts every morning while I have coffee, and I really should know better by now. Cleaning up coffee has become a regular part of my morning routine.

I look at the threads like a book to be read.

Yeah, I have had that problem on more than one occasion. I keep microfiber towels within arms length for quick cleanup

probably not considering it's overly-dramatic and untrue

[animosity]

i've posted about 50 times in the jodi thread since the trial began and it went all wacky. i check in every so often and when i do, there is always an active fight going on... so i post a joking comment about coming to the thread to watch the fights and i get smited. it's hard not to think the people in the jodi thread are wack-a-doo.

now, you may say i deserved the smite for posting off topic, but why should i adhere to the rules when no one else does? it's gotten to a point where the noobs in that thread will do their best to make people who have been around longer feel unwelcome there.

i really try to be nice, and i've said it before... i have no clue if you are from the jodi thread when you post in other threads. your participation in the jodi thread does not dictate how i feel about you on the outside!

BTW... yesterday was my 1-year MDS anniversary and i missed it.

Congrats! Please accept my virtual gift from a fellow desert dweller...different desert but still hot as balls!

[I doubt it]

When MDS opened the second Jodi thread, this was part of his post.

Please remember to stay on topic. Don't make it harder for your fellow posters to keep up by derailing the thread with off-topic chatter. Blatantly off-topic posts will be deleted. Be nice to other forum members. All opinions and theories are acceptable. Just because someone has a different opinion than your own doesn't make it wrong. Keep all disagreements civil and do not resort to name calling, flame wars, smite attacks, or other pissing matches. Thanks!

There's nothing funny about fighting, as it could get the thread locked. A lot of people enjoy that thread, that's why it's so popular. Please don't encourage fighting by treating it as the Roman Colosseum.

[Lady MacBeth]

i do not make this shit up

[zeebee]

They wont be able to do that as it violates MH confidentiality laws and laws pertaining to patient rights. it probably violates the AZ victim laws, too. This is most likely Jodi's work to strip Tanesha bare with her meth past

Oh my God. On the one hand, I agree with Bowie that assholes behaving like assholes shouldn't surprise me, but somehow, it still does.

That's what's so fucking annoying about this whole case, is the defense trying to dirty up everyone they possibly can with things that don't have anything to do with Hodi murdering TA. It doesn't matter if someone who was going to make a VIS was a shit slinging lunatic with addictions to meth, heroin, PEZ candy, or Toblerone. Hodi is going to try to drag everyone she possibly can down in the mud with her.

Personally, I think that when Jodi accused Travis of pedophilia, that's what did her in. The story was over the top, unbelievable and it unveiled her as the totally remorseless psychopath that she is. Likewise, IMHO, attacking the victim's family during the mitigation phase can only backfire on her. So go for it Jodi.

them's the rules for every thread.

anyways... if you had taken time to read the thread, wayyyyy back when i was a semi-regular poster there, you would have seen that i have not always had such a jaded opinion of it. you'd have seen that i contributed many, many on topic posts and i made many, many attempts to ask posters to be civil and polite.

but i'm sure you have no idea about my posting style or my likes and dislikes about the topic because i gave the fuck up after being so frustrated by the lack of adherence to the rules, constant body shaming and general fuckery.

you are one of three posters who have ever smited me. dimples and glasshat... you keep great company.

[*crickets*]

If I have to explain, well..

This thread is supposedly meant for the people who don't want to go into the other thread. I just noticed that it seems that some of the crazy might have trickled through. If people want to get crazy with me because I am simply stating my opinion on the whole forum craziness, well, I am about as sorry as you are when I say that I can voice these opinions, if you don't like it don't read it.. ignore my ass.

Anyway, I am rooting for death. I guess that is all. Yay Travis.

Oh, well then...nevermind...



Truce?

[TMY1]

I don't think people being fascinated was disturbing. I found that interesting. But the Jodi hate? That was seriously disturbing.

White people hated her like they hate Michael Vick. And White people think he's the fucking anti-Christ.

You're thinking of OJ.

[puzzld]

You're thinking of OJ.

No Ron's right. OJ was just a wife killer. Vick tortured and murdered dogs. Worse.
