Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
Jul 30, 2008 12:59

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

Lack of respect has become libel

Read the JU Terms of Service

So it seems that a JU poster has committed libel against another poster.  I have linked the article for your reference.

I know some of you hate me (Ock, talkin' to you here)

According to the legal definitions found on nolo.com, libel is defined as the following:

 

libel

An untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media, that injures the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because libel is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. Libel is a form of defamation , as is slander (an untruthful statement that is spoken, but not published in writing or broadcast through the media).


The JU Terms of Service, 3. Member Conduct, states:

(j) make malicious personal attacks, statements of libel, or other behavior deemed unacceptable by administrators.

Ock has never stated that he "hates" this poster.  To assign and associate a word of such intolerance is libel and a direct act of defamation. 

I truly hope that other bloggers at JU and the admins take notice of this behavior.  Zoomba, I appreciate your response in regards to the TOS/TOU.  The issue of libel, however, was not addressed.

As a whole, we JU bloggers are usually able to police our own actions.  Unfortunately this blatant act of making a false statement has the potential to injure on a professional level, aside from being completely repugnant personally.  The military takes any accusations of intolerance, hate in this case, seriously.  To many the accusation spouted by this user can be merely brushed aside and ignored.  When it comes time for promotion in the Navy, any question regarding character is enough to pass over a good candidate.

Wow, this article has gone waaaaaay off topic. Keeping the consistency of the topic changes, I have to agree with LW (lord I probably wont hear then end of this) about Silent's interesting love story. I am one who is very romantic and the story Silent told is that of my dreams. Something one would only see in a movie. I also noticed some inconsistencies in the story. It was just too perfect and given Silents past doings, it makes it harder to believe it be truthful.

Sorry Silent but your story is just way too perfect and at the same time some things just don't seem right. If you don't mind I wish to point out where I think you messed up, even if it was written at 3 o'clock AM. I would never write such a story and allow mistakes as you claim.

We were sitting here on my couch watching the movie we agreed on, (of all movies) P.S. I love you. She was curled up in some cute pj's on one side of the couch, and I was in my normal night outfit, jeans and short sleeve shirt.[/quote]

Why was she in PJ’s? She was staying with you? Why would a girl stay with someone they have not seen in a long time? If she was not, why did she have PJ’s? If she was truly interested, which would be the reason for coming to see you (out of the blue BTW),, and decided to stay with you (which is why she had PJ’s on) then why the “lets be friends for now” attitude? Too many questions, too many.

[quote Part way through the movie she shifted herself around and asked if she could lay her head on my shoulder because she was getting uncomfortable. I nodding my head because that was all i could really do, my voice didn't want to work.


Why was she leading you on if she was only interested in a friendship for now till you got to know each other well? Which brings me back to why was she staying with you since she had her PJ’s on or why did she have her PJ’s on if she wasn’t staying with you? Sounds fishy to me.

She nodded, listening. When I was done, she smiled and said, "I like you, I really like you. I did back then (in high school), but never got to know you as well as I wanted to. You really seem like a nice guy, funny, sweet, and caring."

(Cue my heart skipping.)

She kind of half frowned half thought, and continued, "But lets be friends, lets just get to know each other right now like what you said. It's been years, and now that it's been said, we have the time, right? I want to know more about you, and I'm sure you would like to know more about me. I'd like us to work."


If after all of that, especially hearing the girl of your dreams tell you she likes you, she really likes you, you are ok with “lets be friends”, you are definitely insane and BSing this story big time.

When it was over and she was getting ready to leave and go over to her parents to sleep, she turned around and gave me a big hug, and then planted a kiss on my lips.


So here she is, she decided to go home and put on PJ’s to hang out with you, she leads you on then she tells you to just be friends and then she lays a big wet one on you? May you suck at making up even a scifi story.

I'm sorry but too perfect and at the same time too many mistakes.

Direct quote from my first gf and I talking about the parting of ways. (Tuesday, March 11, 2008)

What does this prove?  This could just as well of been:

Elindelwolf (11:42:49 PM): But umm, mind if i ask....what went on...
Elindelwolf (11:42:51 PM): i men
Elindelwolf (11:42:52 PM): mean*
Elindelwolf (11:43:00 PM): with when we parted ways
Elindelwolf (11:43:26 PM): I've never fully grasped any of it. To be honest, it was sudden, and akin to being bitch slapped, lol.
Elindelwolf (11:43:39 PM): I didnt know what you were talking about at all.
Elindelwolf (11:43:42 PM): Still don't
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:44:29 PM): I was scared, I think
Elindelwolf (11:45:33 PM): *blinks*
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:45:50 PM): Of you
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:45:59 PM): Of you and your big shoes.
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:47:00 PM): I consider myself a good person
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:47:07 PM): I like myself most of the time
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:47:15 PM): And you...you're so ....
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:47:27 PM): I don't want to...
Elindelwolf (11:47:53 PM): Heh
BurtonFaNaTiK (11:47:59 PM): ?
Elindelwolf (11:48:38 PM): It's just...I've never considered myself below average.

 

See- quoting chat/irc means nothing.  If anything, there is some questionable timing on responses in your original. 

 

In general, I'd like to see this crap ended.  If you can't get along on the site, leave.  Don't bring this crap from article to article as you have been.  It's getting really old.

Well, it's not like he can post all these fantasies on his own blog anymore, lol.   

I wish I could find some of his old descriptions of the fabulously rich and beautiful Jasmine, you know, the one he supposedly married? Almost every 'story' he tells about his so-called love life is identical to the last. I just don't care enough to go digging at the moment, but Lucas Baily is all OVER the net, run his various monikers through google one time and you'll be amazed at how many sites he's posted this stuff on, and while the names of the girls change, the little scenarios are suspiciously identical.
