I really enjoy the posting styles of johnconaway, and this thread is dedicated to his existence. There is no beating around the bush with this guy, a true American hero. His wise crack comments, his vocabulary abilities, and his handsome good looks are all qualities I hope to achieve when I grow up to be a big boy. I bet he has a really hairy chest.
johnconaway, I salute you, you magnificent bastard. I hope you get everything you want out of life.
QuoteI bet he has a really hairy chest
Actually, no.
my chest is quite hairy. i guess i'd be considered a "bear."
:-/
Yeah, Waxy I don't think a hairy chest is indicative of one's manhood.

Some people push people's buttons on purpose jc. Even nice people can get frustrated and angry sometimes. And even take it out on people that have never once tried to slight that person. But, I guess I deserve everything I get, right?

Its posts like this, johnconaway, that keep me coming back to the MMJ Off Topic forum...you see, folks, he just doesn't rattle off nonsense in posts that drivel on and leak into other threads....no sir, johnconaway takes the time to develop a thoughtful, funny, sophisticated response that fires on all cylinders. I love you johnconaway, and I love your post styling! Keep up the good work.

I mean you've pmed me about cats breath, told me I'm part of some multiple personality that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist and told me I've deserved it.
Think what you will about my friends, but I ask that you don't put me in some category when you don't even know me.
oh. so they're YOUR friends, eh?
And then some.
if they're your friends, you shouldn't feel too badly about being "categorized".
(rolls eyes)
i mean really man, come on. that's as indefensible as I can imagine.
Johnconaway, thank you for my first message!
please folks, no arguing in the johnconaway appreciation thread.

see, like that. that's not even close to defensible.
I've never interacted with someone so unwilling to accept that he may have been slighly wrong.
Just because I care about people, doesn't mean I like being treated like I'm the one getting under your skin. How dare you question my frienships. Honestly, I'm blown away by the way you've treated some people around here because you're aggitated.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...this is a message board! Freedom of speech! Isn't that the same horsehockey I get from you guys? It's totally fine for four or so people to totally hijack this community?
I don't care about people?!?! That's pretty funny, considering some of my best friends are from here.
I'm agitated because for three years, this caliber of messageboard "etiquette" didn't exist here. Now suddenly, we're overrun every day with flood posts from your "friends".
Go on, debate away. I've got all day.

it hurts when "your" band and your "board" grow and change and bring in a different audience with different ideas and styles and humor and perspectives- doesn't it?
my pap used to say "horsehockey."
if there are such great friendships here, wouldnt it make sense to use private messaging programs? surely you know each other well enough to debate lunch choices and whatnot on AIM or something like that?

I've NEVER questioned freedom of speech. I'm questioning your motivation to act a certain way towards certain people. You treat me like a pile of dog shit... why? As I've read through your posts from 2003, 2004 and presently, you're obviously a decent person. Which is probably why I'm so curious about your behavior towards me.
You have a problem with four people? Name them. Am I on that list? If not, then what the fuck is your deal? This isn't a debate, unless we're talking about character. Then I'd say it's starting to look debatable.
Not to mention, if you'd read my post for what it is rather than what you think it is, you'd see that I never said you don't care about people. You're projecting what you think about me on my posts. I'll ask you again, WHY??

I appreciate John Conaway. He's a good friend of mine. He's funny, and he's nice, and he's smart. He likes good music, he's supportive, he's energetic and he gets really excited about things.
If this thread isn't going to be about appreciating John Conaway, then it had better stop. This is just getting fucking retarded.

This is going everywhere! I'm glad to see a resolution!
I accept. and I do like you and know it.
I feel as though the internetting is being weeved into a heart full of goodness.
Other reasons why I appreciate John Conaway:
He likes to drink the same things that I like to drink
He likes Montreal - I like Montreal, too
He has a lovely baby
He tells a good story
He's introduced me to bands I didn't know about before
It's just very relieving to know him.
hahaha. ;)
So noone's getting banned for reasons I don't know? I'm disappointed...i think... ???

I didn't realise you were a woman. I thought you were a gay man. I think it's because you've spoken about your partner and referred to him as 'he'. Maybe it was the Roger Moore picture that made me think you were a guy. Not that it matters either way but it's funny, isn't it, how we make assumptions?

I like you a lot. I've enjoyed chatting with you (male/female/gay/straight ;)). I don't know what's in John's head, of course, but could I venture to suggest that you somehow got mixed up with a few other people because you started posting around the same time and contributed to the same threads. We've had more new members at one go than we ever have had in my memory. The character of the forum has changed. I'm not saying change is necesarily a bad thing, but it can be hard to take. More exposure for the band is obviously a great thing. It might not seem so to some people recently, but we have always had a reputation for welcoming new members and valuing their input. What's changed I think is the tone. While we have had disagreements in the past, sometimes quite accrimonious ones, we've generally resolved them and remained friends. I know that might seem a bizarre way to talk about people living thousands of miles apart but that's how it is.
To get back on topic, John Conoway is a great guy. He's funny and caring and I argue with him regularly but still count him as a dear friend.
