OT ... Thought for the night...
The previous days posts have not only provided the usual comic relief, but also some insight into a couple groupings, classes, phylums...or whatever name you may deem for classifications of people.
First we have the; "I'm a Skunk and I believe everyone else is to ignorant to catch wind of me" class.
This species seems to be giving way to the evolution ( faster than Darwin could conceive ) of a subclass that I will aptly name "I'm a Skunk, but I'm here to inform every non-skunk just how much they foul the air".
Now any astute observer of nature will quickly realize that they are just "We Emulate Skunks Until Caught" ( i.e.... WESUC )
The second group is of course, those whom soothe their ego, or possibly gain a more sardonic benefit, by exposing the "...Skunks..." in some free form fashion. Often this group is quite justified. This class I will name; "Positive Informational Skunk Stickers of Free Form" ( i.e....PISSOFF)
Sadly there is a third group. The remorse is due to the realization that I myself have displayed characteristics of this group. This is the group that pokes the Skunk even though it hasn't sprayed. It is just the blatent fact that it/he/she is a Skunk, or the quest for humor, that makes us want to poke at them. This group is simply named; " Skunk Pokers"
Now there is no help for "WESUC", and only the inherent, somewhat enjoyable, therapy to be gained by the responding PISSOFF. There is however help for the "Skunk Pokers". On this note, I resign my thoughts for the night and head for the SPA... (Skunk Pokers Anonymous ).... Whew...Day at a time....

SPA thoughts (Skunk Pokers Anonymous) long but thoughtworthy
Yes Winston, oh ye great philosopher, but consider the President of WESUK...there is a history, right here on this forum that anyone can search out for themselves. It took me all of 25 minutes.
Legend:
***WESUC quotes*** -----SPA thoughts-------
Let's start at the beginning: March 22, 2006. WESUC President introduces himself to Notary Rotary:
THREAD # 107856 3/22/06 *** Hey all. I'm a new Mobile Signing Agent in Michigan and I'm wanting to grow this business. I just dont know exactly which way to go about it. Anyone have any ideas about marketing strategy to title and mortgage companies? Is face time, cold calling, email, registering with more and more databases, or mailing campaign best? I'm with one company now and the business is great when its great and sucks when its slow and a trickle. How much should I charge? Should I set additional fees for quit claim deeds, trust docs etc or is a standard fee best? Hit me with your sage advice because I am interested and want to succeed.***
-------Putting this into perspective…as of the end of March of this year (all of 7 months ago) WESUC was a brand new SA/notary, with no experience at all. Going forward, it’s a bit amazing that he begins to tell Notaries how to think, vote, and perceive the world around them-------------------
THREAD # 107940 ----------Second post where several “mean” members WELCOMED him to the forum…Becca and Charles to be specific. Warm welcome messages--------------
Things quickly go south, within LESS THAN TWO WEEKS from WESUC’s first post asking for help with his new venture:
THREAD #113222 4/13/06: ***Have any of you considered how utterly racist and ignorant these posts and this thread make you sound? I mean come on, wishing you had an American Mayor?***
------Uh yeah. SPA wants the government to be legal Americans (with a CAPITAL A). Just the way James Madison and Ben Franklin set it up---------------
THREAD #127138 6/21/06 ***I refuse to see United 93 because I will not be played for these criminals in power. I swear you people are such fools to them. I still have hope that the clouds will part and you will see the cleansing light of clarity***
---------“Refused” to watch a documented movie where AMERICANS (ordinary ones) overcame rabid Islamic terrorists whos only goal was to KILL AMERICANS. Hm. Think about that for a second. A real American Patriot, WESUC is.-----------
THREAD #127138 6/20/06 ……***They used fear, smear the queer, and dirty tricks at the polls to trick you into voting for them...again. The fact that they tortured our soldiers is horrific and revolting and we'll all mourn them, but y'know something. We cant say anything anymore about our soldiers being tortured. We can cry and we can weep and wish it never happened but it did happen and it will happen again from here on out. Why? Because we tortured them. We tortured and humiliated them. We sank to the level of the bad guys with Abu Ghrab and the Haditha massacre.
--------------So the reasoning here is that American Soldiers (protecting your sorry butt, WESUC) DESERVE torture????? This is rational?-------------
THREAD # 141579 8/28/06 ***Study: Muslims, Arabs saw pay drop after 9/11 http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-pay24.html***
------------it would have been nice if WESUC were more concerned about the general unemployment rate in this Country that feeds you so well, then helps you lose it.-----------
THREAD #138860 8/16/06 In response to a SPA member's story of a Muslim girl she attended college with and who’s genitals had been maimed and mutilated by her own (male) family members.
***Wow, that’s horrible. What tribe was she? What brand of muslim was she?***
-----(and he calls SPA a racist?) WESUC wants to know the girl’s “brand” and “tribe”.-----
***I still don’t take that as a representation of the entire faith but that is truly horrible***
--------This statement shows utter ignorance about a culture that is killing our kids, and plotting the demise of our nation. It is COMMON KNOWLEDGE that Muslims/Arabs think nothing of women and desecrate their bodies, hide them, beat them, kill them, all in the name of “religion”. That practice is backward, primitive barbarism. If WESUC doesn't think that is a Muslim/Arab cultural procedure: check this out: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15447708/ This poor little girl, in these United States, is mutilated beyond repair by her own father with a pair of SCISSORS for gods sake when she was TWO YEARS OLD. WESUC upholds and make excuses for these animals???----
***The difference between me and others that question if I am an american is that I am not afraid*** ---------Please capitalize “American”. The little “a” is telling----------------
THREAD # 138841 8/15/05 (addressed to SPA, specifically) ***No, I think its that you are a racist and choose to characterize a theology and world you cannot and will never allow yourself to understand as a theology of hate. My best that died in 2000 was a muslim and he was one of the kindest, funniest people you could ever meet. It was an honor to know him and call him my best friend. Sue, you hate Arabs and Muslims because you have been told and conditioned to fear them. From that fear comes the hate and the projection of it, onto them. I'm kinda curious to know what you think about blacks and other minorities. Do you think we're the problem too? See, your authoritarian figureheads have told you who to hate and why you should hate them and that really is a shame. You've turned over critical thought processes to others that they can tell you what to think so you dont have to because its easier for you. You forget, I live in Michigan which has the largest middle eastern population outside the middle east and they are some of the nicest people. (Some are @$$holes but they are in the minority.) I'm constantly learning about the arab and muslim culture and faith and its truly remarkable. Its too bad you are so narrow in your thinking and have let a few with a warped ideology color your perceptions. I'm a fool for believing this but I still have hope for you and people exactly like you. Right now, you see them as terrorist arabs and muslims and that is your malfunction. I see them as people just like you and I, that wake up, go to sleep, go to their jobs, have breakfast, tell jokes, laugh and enjoy their lives the way we do here. I see them as doctors, lawyers, construction workers, police officers, etc. A mind is a terrible thing to waste but a narrow mind warped by fear is already wasted and you my dear are scared beyond belief.
-----It’s actually quite amazing the arrogance that WESUC perceives what another’s life experience is and attempts to put a whole lifetime into a paragraph without ever knowing the person. The difference is SPA responds to his comments, but he takes SPA comments and childishly and emotionally determines what an entire lifetime is. Emotionally retarded thinking and without any rational intelligent reasoning. The stuff of zealots - or WESUC'S.
The offer still stands for a plane ticket to the destination of WESUC'S choice; either A) Iraq or B) Moscow. SPA'S treat, of course---------------
AND THE TOPPER, WHICH GENERATED THIS POST:
THREAD #157977 11/7/06 ***You people tickle me with your incesant and unshakable need to call me f**king Jihad. Where the f**k does that come from? You wanna call me JJ, by all means please knock yourself into a 20 year coma. I however am not cool with f**king Jihad. I could get really creative with names for all that have called me Jihad. I've done nothing but extend an olive branch here beginning with offering help to Sue with her computer post about Windows Vista. Part of me wishes I hadnt but hell, sometimes you gotta try and make peace. So, you can either embrace it and we all sing classic Motown songs, or slap it out of my hand and prove you want nothing but static and bad vibes between The Gang and myself. Gist of it all, stop calling me f**king Jihad and try making peace. End it now.***
------WESUC's outbursts, language and topics violate all the Rules and Guidelines here on this forum. You keep wondering why you get called “Jihad Jahari” (nix for WESUC...the "find and replace on the puter is down) on the forum?---
In closing, SPA has decided to tell WESUC to PISSOFF. (SPA's therapist said it would be good for SPA to tell WESUC to PISSOFF). SPA is only following orders for the sake of SPA's blood pressure and general health.
Nighty Nite all.

Re: SPA thoughts (Skunk Pokers Anonymous) WOW TitleGal...
Nicely constructed! This explains why you were not at the SPA meeting last night...LOL ( of course this also shows how addictive 'Skunk Poking' can be )
Are you available to be a Keynote speaker at next weeks meeting ? I believe your 'poke' techniques, and how you are dealing with them, would be of interest, and appreciated by the members.....

THANK YOU SUE SHIPMAN FOR WESUC and SPA!!!
Sue, honestly I just love the idea that you are so consumed with contempt and hate for me that you actually sought out and selectively cut and pasted from many of my previous posts in a long winded effort discredit me by citing rules that werent on the books at the time and posting that I violated them when I clearly did not so as to take a shot at me and tell me to pissoff. I love that I keep you awake nights with these efforts. I especially loved the new name of WESUC you gave me. In fact, I like it for the name of a my new non-profit (Welcoming Everyones Support for Upstanding Causes). You've even blessed me with the gem of S.P.A. (Supreme Progressives of America), or maybe I can get TomKat to join forces with me to form (Scientologist Progressives of America)!!! Either way, THANK YOU SUE SHIPMAN!!! Christmas came early this year!!! And you call yourself a Conservative when you give so liberally!!!
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Re: THANK YOU SUE SHIPMAN FOR WESUC and SPA!!!
Jahari, would you please just stop? You and she have this hate relationship that can be dealt with in a civil menner by e-m or phone. This post was orginally intended as a joke. Stop with the politics and religion already. I would so love to see a post from you that has no agenda and quite possibly notary related in any way shape or form. Yes. Susan is a friend of mine, and she has her opinions, however, I have to agree......what's your agenda here???

Re: THANK YOU SUE SHIPMAN FOR WESUC and SPA!!!
Charm, I think you should look at her post in this very thread and ask what was her agenda? I think you should remove the bias of friendship and look at a lot of her posts about me and about others and ask what her agenda was when she posted. For instance, the post in MSG #127110 titled "OT: The two young men we lost - very politically incorrect" about the soldiers that were killed and beheaded by the insurgents in Iraq earlier this year where she fully admitted her comments were racist. What was her agenda then? My first post in that thread was in support of the troops but not the mission. After that, I get the hell beat out of me. What about her posted comments about Louisiana and Katrina where in MSG# 141991 where she'd rather watch Springer than empathize? Where was the outcry condemning her for that? What about her post in msg #144008 where she asked only "True Americans" to listen to Bush's speech, say the pledge and buy the book Flags of our Fathers? What was her agenda then? What about the thread she she started with MSG #138828 titled "Dear Jihad Jahari(and OT for the innocent)?" Again, what was her agenda? No one jumped on her about posting about politics or religion, yet when I posted about Al Gore's movie, question why a motherboard for a Diebold E-voting machine is doing on Ebay, a report about DHS allocation of funds to a petting zoo and a popcorn stand instead of New York City (Statue of Liberty, Empire State), remembering 9/11 and sharing 9/11 stories, and even here recently with my Get out The Vote post where I shared information everyone could use in case they have problems voting, I get slammed and bashed for it by she and Calinotary because they felt I posted about politics and religion when there was nothing about politics or religion in those posts.
Charm, I'm not saying you should stop being her friend. You two can be Bea Arthur and Rue Mclanahan all you want but can you be friend enough to check her when and if she's wrong? Would you stop her from kicking or shooting someone because she's your friend? Would you let her drink and drive because she's your friend and you're afraid she'll stop being your friend because you checked her? Also you say I posted about politics and religion? I didnt post anything like that here in this thread. If anything I mocked her cut and paste hit job she did on me. I've noticed that if you're a part of this inner elite NR Club you can post about anything including politics and religion but if not, you get beat down with the rule stick or lobby to have them changed so as to support claims that someone is in violation of "The Rules". What's up with that?
There is an enormous double standard here on this forum and its time it was seriously addressed.

Harumph! Probably want to skip this...LONGER THAN LONG
***I've noticed that if you're a part of this inner elite NR Club you can post about anything including politics and religion but if not, you get beat down with the rule stick or lobby to have them changed so as to support claims that someone is in violation of "The Rules". What's up with that?***
Yes, what is indeed up with that? Let me expound a moment...
First of all...if there is an inner elite NR Club, I want to join. That dang Harry and sly Tracey won't answer my gripes about my pet peeves any faster than they will answer another premium member (paying member). It's not like there are many of us who actually post here live in Iowa so they can party with the NR owners regularly. Are they flying some of them in? Who? Where's the ticket line?
You don't like this place? You think there's a major double standard to address *seriously* address? Well, unless you want to beat yo' head against concrete, I think that's where you go "Dang it, I hate this place...these people are just so wrong...I am going elsewhere. Better yet, I will start my own place."
In case you have not noticed, Jahari, I have had a post deleted because I requested that a notary in some place...can't remember where...call me b/c a title company sought them. Ooops. I broke the rule. I was embarrassed that I offended NR and did not rant about it. I won't do it again!
And, gosh, after that I have seen it two or three times get by the NR moderator, yet no screaming here because I like to visit with people here and so I do and I try to get along with people. And, I have no dang agenda except just chatting it up on occasion. I like to get with my girl bestcal here and there. When I get irritated about something I don't like I mention it, like today, but I do not DEMAND that the rules be changed so that my opinions are the only ones reflected. (Note to self: Get with the program, Brenda. Demand and insist that no armchair quarterbacking goes on when someone has a terribly tragic incident with a dog. DEMAND IT BE PUT TO A STOP!)
**There is an enormous double standard here on this forum and its time it was seriously addressed.**
"Harumph," I say. (*I* say...I did not say *everyone* had to say it! Huge big difference!)
Harumph! Because you, nor I, have the right to say this to a private business man.
Harumph! Because whether or not there is an enormous double standard here on this forum is not the question. Double standards only matter in non-private enterprise, Mr. Jahari, sir.
NotaryRotary.com is not a democracy or a membership run organization. It's a privately run business and King Harry's Fiefdom runs it. We get along with it, or we move along and find a place more inviting for our personalities.
So, the demand for change of double standard to be SERIOUSLY ADDRESSED, is a demand for something that you have no right to demand any more than I have a right to demand the Junior Service League in Brazos County, Texas open up their membership to people MY age...they let younger women in...WHY NOT ME????? Just because *I WANT...* does not mean *I GET...* and I would make a royal @ss out of myself for even trying to demand such a change.
This ain't your business...so you make a *hollow* outcry against the Eternal Reigning King's choices here. Big whoop...I want to go to the JSL parties and wear younger cuter clothes and get my name and picture put in the newspaper for being such a cool nice young lady. Ain't gonna happen. I am too danged old.
Oh...and I want to go from church to church. especially Catholic and Methodist and demand they handle snakes and speak in tongues. Ain't gonna happen. I sure look like a nut case trying to make it happen.
And furthermore, I demand that Texas A&M start a woman's football team. Well...that MIGHT happen, but what a freaking waste my time and energy.
Heck, Jahari, I can't even get myself off your private email list! Merry's nice and Pam's nice, but you and I both know there are people on that list that want to spit up just looking at my name. What the hey? Email me...it's all right. It's not worth my worries to DEMAND that you stop. I like to hear from you personally if it is about notary questions, but dude...I just don't have many things in common with your other friends or you about politics...that's all. Yet, the emails...they still come! Erin chewed my @ss out for asking you to take me off of it when I hit Reply All. You are not going to stop...so I adapt and say "Cool!" and then hit delete when the material is offensive because you know that is NOT what I am about.
Here's the bottom line...I will seriously address this:
Harry is King.
The Harry King, he no care...Harry King no have to care. This is King Harry's business and when the rules innure to him own fine benefit, the King, Harry, he make them for him best own interest...not yours...not mine....him very own goodest way for the NotaryRotary Rock Bottom Dollar.
Put some thought into that. I have a feeling that our Harry King intends to make this place the very best he can make it. We are not his bosses. He does what goes "Ka-Ching!" for him not what "the people" demand. When you join, you agree to join at his pleasure...not to join and tell the man how to run his business.
You'll have no better luck telling Harry King to fix things to your liking than a $50 signing service will have getting me to drive to Dallas tonight.

One clarification...
I said: **and then hit delete when the material is offensive because you know that is NOT what I am about. **
To be clear...this is only about politics. Jahari is more liberal/Democrat and I am conservative/Republican. I am only offended because I know Jahari knows this and sends the material anyhow. That's what is offensive. I just feel kind of hurt because he won't respect my boundaries on that. It's not because it is "bad" stuff. Just wanted to be clear.

Harry's place and the hypocracy of the double standard
Brenda, I acknowledge that this is Harry's place. My point in all of this is, if a gang of users is going to slam me/others and label their posts as "political" when they clearly are not. Then members of the gang should be condemned equally because of their political posts if they create a political. I honestly feel like the there is a sign on the door of this room that says "Liberal Progressive Posts Unwanted!" and that those that are Conservative posts and posters have free reign over the forum and are free from condemnation. Quite frankly I'd prefer no one condemn anyone but if you attack someone, that person has the full right to respond and likely will respond.
My "Who's House?" post was posted out of pure jubilation and excitement because of the elections and honestly, I did not think of the fallout that could ensure from it. Tuesday night was like the Super Bowl for me. My team won and I was celebrating. Had my team lost, you know there would have been numerous posts from certain users taking shots at "Jihad Jahari", "JJ" and "JJBTM" because of it. My question is, would they have been condemned for their posts, as I have for mine?

Re: credit where credit is due...Why are you thanking me?
Please do not draw reference to my thoughts, opinions, person, or acronyms, as they are not intentioned for association to your mindless agenda.
Why are you thanking anyone ? You are not using the acronyms as they were properly defined. Do you believe yourself to be the "Undiscovered Skunk Using Kevlar" ( USUK ) ?
Whereas I may believe you to think this is true. I would offer that you are really more in the way of a common "Jiving Jihad Slouch Universally Known as a Narrow-minded Khalid Pontificating Only Knee-jerk Esthetics" ... which for those of us in the political know, refer to simply as a ( JJSKUNKPOKE )

Re: It was a joke Smokey aka sarcastic mockery.
You really DO have a hard time with comprehension don't you. I didn't call you mindless...I called your agenda mindless....but if the shoe fits.
Now you say that I missed it...ROFL... So if someone continues the sarcastic mockery with more sarcastic mockery its considered missed due to the original sarcastic mocker having exclusive rights to sarcastic mockery or is it the sarcastic mocker's unwritten rule that only one sarcastic mock may be deemed sarcastic mock while all subsequent sarcastic mocks are deemed feigned ignorance. Ooh ouch ! ... JJ got me so good... how will I ever return to besmirch yet another .... Woe is me....
Nothing like a doublebarrel JJSKUNKPOKE
