Hello Kola,


I hope that you are having a wonderful day.


I noticed that Mr. Troy Johnson has replied to your "KOLA and TROY laughing their ass off" thread which you posted yesterday to taunt and harrass me:


http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/179/20556.html#POST81792


To be honest, I really don't understand what your beef with me is. But it doesn't matter.


To refresh your memory (and to update anyone else who gives a care) this is my history with Kola:


I came here about a year ago. Because I work from home I'm kind of isolated throughout the day and I needed some diversion, some camaraderie. Basically the same reasons that everyone else participates in an online forum. And I wanted to hang with Black people.


I had ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been nice to you Kola. I have been friendly and I have even provided you with advice.

http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/11222/12670.html#POST58526


But you have consistently returned my kindness by posting mean, hateful, hurtful, colorist, nasty, vile, filthy, demeaning, besmirching remarks.


And I turned the other cheek for quite some time. But one day - my kindness towards you came to an end. That's life.


Kola - I'm not saying this to embarrass you - but you need to get a grip. On reality. Please!!!


I'm going to address the posts that you made to Troy this morning because you referred to me. And for only that reason. Otherwise, I would have no interest whatsoever in what you wrote.

http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/179/20556.html#POST81794


Troy,

FUCK THAT BITCH!

That's what I'm saying----and I'm so glad she came crying to you----I wish we could all have a meeting in your office so I could just BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF HER---but of course she's too much of a coward to meet with Kola Boof in person.

She talks shit but she can't back it up.



Kola - Mzuri didn't go crying to anyone. Unlike you, I realize that other people have other real world matters to attend to besides coming over to this forum to settle some petty, imaginary dispute.

As to your accusation of my cowardice - pay my travel, lodging and accommodation expenses and I will meet you anywhere, anytime.


AS FOR YOU:

It's prety clear to anyone in my YEARS LONG BATTLE on this board with Cynique and Mzuri....that the 3 QUEENS (including ME) are always JOCKEYING for your favor and your blessing----and I for one AM PISSED THE FUCK OFF that you've taken the side of Cynique and Mzuri TWICE OVER ME!--even to the point of scolding me once) on this board...but never once said a goddamned thing in my favor to those bitches, MY ENEMIES, who have taken your comments and your LACK of defense for me to be a victory.



Kola - I've only been here for a year. There has been no YEARS LONG BATTLE between us. No one is jockeying for Troy's favors and blessings besides you. Why do you consider us as enemies??? Stop the madness, please!!! There is no QUEENDOM to be had here. It's a DISCUSSION FORUM!!!


So that's the reason I did it---for this exact reason---to draw your ass to this board and make you say something, because if you're NOT GOING TO TAKE SIDES---then you ought to criticize and muck equally.


These tactics are childish!!! Troy is busy with other things. He has a full-time job, a family, he manages the AALBC website and I'm sure he'd like some private time to himself just like EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING. Troy shouldn't have to come to this forum to mediate childish disputes.


You've referred to that colorstruck urine-blooded bitch Cynique as your "favorite poster", your "mother" and every other goddamned affectionate name....you also took up for Mzuri against me as though I was the one PICKING on that tick-hearted RAT you call a woman.


Kola - the only person here who is colorstruck is you. The rest of this particular rant is nonsense. Troy didn't take up for me, he came here to defend the use of his name in your falsities. YOUR LIES KOLA!!!


Not a single goddamned word of affection or kindness was posted about me, though---and you goddamned motherfucking right I'm UPSET about it!


Troy said "You are too bright and too skilled a writer to have to resort to making false statements in order to make a point." What more do you want???


AND HAVE BEEN FOR A YEAR.

You banned my friend Prettybabygirl...but you didn't say a goddamned word to those CLIT-whiners when they began posting under my name! What about those ANTICS?



PBG played herself. She made a false post regarding Troy, and while I'm not privy to what happened, I'm pretty sure that's the reason she was banned.

http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/11222/15998.html


Thanks for this clarification Troy:

Further, I have no reason to believe, from a technical perspective, that Kola is posting under multiple names. But honestly I do not have time or even the desire to check this on a regualr basis.

Though it's kind of late....as by now, both ABM and Tonya have probably convinced themselves that I'm Nafisa Goma, LOLA, Enchanted, and all kinds of assholes who try to IMITATE me on this board----though I will admit that NAFISA and I have posted on the same machine from the same publishing office at times.



It is thru your own actions Kola that people believe that you have used alternate posting IDs. You know what you've done and everyone who has been here for any length of time knows as well, so I don't need to address this.


No matter what you say--you took sides---and until you take MY SIDE against those bitches (DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO HANDLE WOMEN OR STAY OUT OF THEIR BATTLES?), then I'm going to be a an even bigger evil bitch!!!

I want your undivided attention TROY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDDDD I expect you on MY SIDE---that's what I expect---or either don't take sides!!!!

And fuck your mother Cynique and that maggot-brained piece of TEXAS chili shit calling herself "Mzuri".

And I look forward to your next goddamned post.



And this separate post made by you:


And since Mzuri loves to drag YOUR NAME into her attacks on me so much, maybe you need to set THAT BITCH straight.

That's what I'm waiting to fucking C.

Either way...we gone find out who the QUEEN this fucking burrow is and we're going to find out today, MISS MZURI.



You set yourself up for failure with these sorts of posts and irrational ultimatums. There really is no side to be taken except for the RIGHT side. Stop your foolishness, get on the RIGHT side, and you won't have to worry about people taking your side.

I'm going to tell you this one more time for your own good - GROW UP. Act like an adult and put this nonsense behind you.

You have already lost credibility by making the subject post against me (and by some of your other actions), so why not simply apologize. That would be the right and mature thing to do. Instead of continuing to make threats and demands.

Regardless of what you do, I'M DONE WITH YOU. Until you behave like an adult woman, please don't address me again. Please don't make any more negative comments about me and just leave me alone. As a matter of fact - don't even bother responding to this post.

And oh by the way, under absolutely positively no circumstance am I JEALOUS OF YOU. Get over yourself.

Thank you.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


To anyone else who gives a care:

I had been under the impression, because of Kola's (and others) conduct, name calling, obscenities and vulgarities not being met with any resistance, that anything goes here and that this behavior was acceptable. I now realize that anything does not go, that the gentleman who hosts this forum has been kind enough to provide us with a place to exchange ideas, discuss current events and to have camraderie.

My original purpose for being here has been to contribute something positive to the discussion forum. Unfortunately, I have reacted to some of the negative nonsense that goes on here in an unbecoming manner. I apologize for that and I hope you will understand that I am honestly not a negative person. And so from this day forward I shall no longer engage in the namecalling and insults. Again, I sincerely apologize.

This does not mean that I shall no longer post my silly gifs, make jokes or tease people or that I won't participate in debates. Just not senseless arguments over petty nonsense.

Mzuri

I'm so glad you posted this, Mzuri.

I hope you're having a wonderful day, too...and I hope you'll join me in never posting to one another again, because really--the things you've said about me, about my 8 and 9 year old children, about their father, about my work, my life and MY suffering...make it impossible for us ever to speak to one another.

I will respect you and not post to you or about you, and hopefully, you will do the same.

Troy is my brother, Mzuri...and I used to be in a Psyche Ward as a little girl...so that is why he allows me to act out.

Kola

If theres one thing I will say to Mzuri, you have CLASS when its called for and good for you to ignore this SPOOF because shes the one jealous of everyone or she wouldnt act like alittle baby wanting her way all the time if she wasnt. I feel sorry for Troy and his family to have adopted this Psycho into the family. Mzuri that was a very well written and intelligent post and I hope you dont let her bring you DOWN to her level anymore.

As weird as this may sound, I am actually on Mzuri's side with this one. Mzuri and Cynique are definitely not as annoying and repellant to me as Kola. I can't believe I just said that, but it is true.

LOL!! One thing I have to give Kola Miss Phoney LOLA is that she hasn't responded to a single one of your retarded posts and I give her credit for not doing so, I knew you what you were up to when you said that Kola was "GOD" you hated her before you got here that's so very clear but you aint as tricky OR SMART as you think so I'm glad she nipped your Schizoid self in the bud. You're more repellant than any troll we've EVER had.

How can Lola_ogunnaike get away with impersonating a real-live person without that person going to Troy and demanding that she stop? If Lola is, indeed, who she says she is, why is she besmirching her reputation by coming here posting the lurid kinds of threads that hark back to Igbogal. And what is Igbo's gal's motive??? There's a lot of intrigue here, and the board is being hood-winked by somebody.

You're right Cynique.

And though the N.Y. TIMES has been made aware of the situation, the "troll" persists.

And this person lied and said they've met me. One minute, praise Kola--next minute detest her.

But she should know that there's a lot I'm not telling either.

Kola, I like what you represent. Truly. But you seem so self-involved and to have a very inflated sense of self-importance. I'm not sure why. You don't seem to realize that you are not a celebrity and that in the grand scheme of things, few people know or care who you are. Some humility from you would make you way more attractive. You wrote a couple books that were published by some obscure publishing houses. You made an outlandish claim to have slept with Osama. Next!

Your not on the up and up LOLA I agree with Cynique and I do believe Kola about the FEDS just a hunch I have shes a liar but your spending a lot of time in a spot where nobody likes you and you sound like Schakspir WHY?

You know Enchanted, from working on the soaps, I finally got a very education on WHO Erica Kane is, and I'm sorry--but I take that as a compliment.

I love it everytime you say it.

So you might want to switch up.

Hey Y'all, just a couple of notes and thoughts,

I'm the only one that bans posters.

Other the the person who made the post, I'm the only one that deletes posts.

Essentially the board is self-moderated.

Very rarely do I step in and take action. If I do it is because someone (usually more than one) tells me something really ill is happening. Sometimes I take action, sometimes I do not.

If I do take action it is usually a brute force methodology -- I'll delete an entire discussion rather than evalutation each post.

I don't have time or desire to moderate disputes.

Last month I deleted more posts than in the entire previous decade. All of those posts contained sexually graphic material.

I also banned the poster of the sexually explicit material.

Admittedly, I've given Kola lattitude for several reasons.

(1) Unlike most Kola actually supports Black businesses including AALBC.com and other authors in word, deed and business;

(2) She is an interesting character and good writer, like Chris, Cynique, ABM and many others.

(3) Most of the posters who sent me feedback rather she be on board than not (I generally do not act on feedback from lurkers -- even though the are the vast majority of visitors).

Now Thumper hated(s) Kola and Thumper's my man so that situation was a challenge.

But I went through the same challenges supporting Thumper with all of the authors he pissed off ripping there books to shreads...

(4) If 1/2 of what Kola says is true about her life I'm surprised she is not in a padded room right now.

...so yeah I cut her some slack.

Enchanted, Kola was not "adopted" she is already part of my fam. As all the "long time posters" are.

While I don't get a chance to read these boards as often as I would like -- I really do enjoy them and I always get a kick out of meeting one of y'all in person. Over the years y'all have become family.
-----------------

Lola_ogunnaike tell me you are who your name implies. If not, I'm prefer if you assumed another alias. I will check when I get a chance, but save me the effort (you can email me directly troy@aalbc.com) -- thanks.

-----
It just occured to me what ABM stands for "A Bad Mother..." shut your mouth!

Well, Troy, I understand that this board is not your priority but because it does generate so many hits and this translates into good business for you, it behooves you to have a moderator to monitor infringements. (And, no, I'm not campaigning for the job.) I have put up with a lot of shit trying be a good sport rather than a tattletale running to you with every little problem but I really think that it's a discourteous lack of respect for me to have my real name constantly used on this board without my permission. Nobody else has to put up with this and on a matter of principle, I'd appreciate it if you would exert your authority to correct this. I don't come on this board cursing you out in large bold letters, but be advised that I am a little peeved that things like this have to be brought to you attention, something that wouldn't be necessasry if you had a monitor to keep things in check. And consider that a slap on the wrist from your "mom."

TROY thank you for
saying something nice about me for
once....

..for defending me (at last) and for
not taking sides.

THANK YOU, because I am not "mean
evil Kola"

....and I need "positive" attention
too.

Hey Cynique,

I deleted conversations that included your photo and full name -- at least the posts that I found. I located these posts by doing a google search.

The google search also reveals that your identity was exposed back in 2002. Truth be told, I'd have to lay blame with you for the reason your real identity was exposed. Anyone who reads the posts would come to the same conclusion.

I appreciate that Kola has taken exposing your identity to another level, beyond perhaps anything you may have imaged back in '02. Which is why I deleted the posts. I'm sure Kola will not use this tactic again (right Kola?)

Technology can be scary. Who knows how some obscure post I may have made in the 1990's might be used against me it the next decade. Good thing I have no political aspirations. I hope my posts, our posts, are used postively and not as a weapon against us...


I encourgae everyone to read the following page: http://thumperscorner.com/disclaimer.htm is has been in place, unchanged, for years. There is a line which says: "Please note, all information disclosed here becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. . Please take this seriously. If you chose to disclose personal information people/hackers/spammers may use it.

-------------

Kola, I've said many nice things about you. Don't let me have to whip out the google search to prove it.


Peace y'all,
Troy

Of course, I won't be mean to Cynique as long as she's not so vicious to me.

I tried to befriend her, but she's never let me.

Thanks for taking the action you did, Troy. And it's not like I didn't e-mail you a complaint about this when it first happened a couple of years back. Whatever. There's no excuse for my or anybody's else name to ever be revealed without their permission. As I said, I tried to neutralize the effect of having those seeking to taunt me by playing along with it, but like I have also said, that on a matter of principle, enough is enough! And dats dat.

And puleeze, kola boof, spare me all of the condescending drivel about your efforts to "befriend" me like I was a little waif who needed your patronage. Surely it occurred to you that I rejected your friendship cuz you ain't somebody I care to have for a friend. And you can be as "mean" to me as your want to be.

Hey Cynique I just deleted that post (it had not been indexed by Google yet) and I just stumbled across it.

As you mentioned a moderator would help control things but "control" is not exactly the desired effect.

I want people to feel free to express themselves without reservation (save rampant dissemination of graphic pornographic photos), test their ideas and challenge the ideas of others. I believe this board allows people to do that without some of the problems that make open communication difficult in the physical space.

Of course with anything in else in life there are trade offs. If you give folks too much freedom some will tend to abuse it. Kola wanted a completely open board no registration but it got spammed. I did not want to approve registrations, but hackers have automated the registration process and now I have to approve each and every new registrant. So every couple of days I have to find the 4 or 5 legitimate new registrants out of the 50 or more bogus automated ones used by spammers. I err on the side of caution and I’m sure I delete some real people who just want to participate.

And I have not even got to what is required to deal with the actual posters yet. But I’m sure you get my drift….

I can get more sophisticated software and force new registrants to read wavy letters over a patterned back ground, but that takes time/money to implement. A moderators take time/money as well.

Long story short is freedom is not free. Right now I pay the price to allow this forum to continue; and if you think money is my only motivation you are trippin!

I enjoy reading this stuff. I’m proud of the forum. I learn from all of you.

Needless to say these discussion boards are not for everyone; nor is freedom for that matter.

my question is-

WHY WOULD ANY OF OUR PEOPLE BE CONCERNED WITH THE THOUGHT AND/OR ACTIONS OF ANY AFRICANS?

they are not even worth the thought.

the WHOLE of africa and most of the "people" in it, don't amount to "a drop that falleth from a vessel".
