Oracle of DelphiHis Name is Homer Joyce. May He RIP... Will He Ever!
December 27th 2006 06:01
I have spent...no...wasted some time today reading the various posts and comments that have ripped apart the notion of Freedom of Speech.
Sigh....I love humankind.
Tis people that perplex me.
Homer Joyce.
Why can't we say his name?
Why are we trying to be polite now? Why bother?
Go on attack me. Please....someone attack me.
I haven't laughed since 4:20pm. It’s now 4:30pm.
Let me warn you I have a 4th dan black belt in Tae Kwan Don’t Try Me.
(an offshoot of Giv Adam)
The only thing I feel strongly about on Orble, is losing Wordophilia.
I am really annoyed that Homer played his end of the game and sacrificed himself for the greater good. He's so selfless. All he wanted was some peace and quiet, to be left alone with his writing. All he got was Death.
Homer Joyce.
The Man who would kill for the Nobel Peace Prize.
So he got de-Orbled.
Who's loss is that?
And okayyy...he may have gone a bit far in the name of Freedom of Speech. (Homer Treasure...it's pronounced freedumb so next time, be quiet)
Who's losing sleep over it?
Let me assure you he isn't.
Obviously some of us are.
I wanted to write comments on these posts...did actually write them....then deleted them.
The arguments, as always, are so articulate, so clever, so artful and well thought out.
So much time spent thinking about all of this.
So much time...wow.
Amazing.
Where do you guys find the time?
I mean...I have a job...ahh, what the hell, I run a company, I'm the Boss...yes, I have my own money...whoops, there goes the final vestige of my credibility....I have a husband, he is my priority (sorry, too busy being a feminist to join the Male Bashing Movement)....I have 5 children...woah...they're wonderful, I love them, live alongside them, don't live through them, vicarious living is not my thing...and gasp yes I have friends and thank goodness I don’t feel the need to hide myself....and oh Lord, I have charities I work with...can't tell you which ones because charity is a personal thing...it's none of your business...it's goodwill not this-is-how-good-I-am...and unfortunately I only suffer from back pain due to falling off my high horse a few times, oh and my motorbike...I am too busy being happy to wallow in misery....and oh occasionally, okay often, I am too busy being lazy....but I’m such a loser....sooooo not good at making optimum use of my time....but I’m trying, I’m learning, which is why I’m here....because I am just so busy being fabulous, so busy being virtually me, I just had to tell someone about it...forget the trumpet(er), I had to blow my whole orchestra...was that good for you?...oh lucky my husband reads what I write...and gets me because I'm too busy being Me to be anyone else....
I deleted my comments because I didn't think it was fair to say what I wanted to say on your sites. I do like you. You’re young, you’re foolish, it’s okay. You’re smart. You’ll wake up to yourself one day. Sooner rather than later I hope. Do not be on the run from yourself. Don’t be a tempus fugitive.
No. I lie. I deleted my comments because I didn't want to give you the benefit of my points.
Churlish? Yes. Childish? Nope.
So nah.
Ms Paint....it's fair what you're saying....offensive post and comments should be deleted...which is what Homer did to you after you wrote those awful and to me, extremely vulgar comments, full of hatred and bitterness, about me, on his site.
Seeing as I'm fairly stupid and thought that you only visited my site to be nice, I was rather perplexed as to why you needed to force your misery upon me.
What is it you said to me, on my site?
"...you've obviously got a very sensitive soul, I regret to say I haven't, a deficiency in my genes, I suspect."
To which I replied (only fair to have both sides...)
"It's not that I have a sensitive soul...well not for myself, at least...I would like to believe I have a compassionate soul, a proficiency in my genes I expect"
Live and Let Live.
What a brilliant concept.
A virtual reality in Utopia.
But this is not reality.
Yes Sir, No Sir, Censor.
You don't need to get a life people.
You need to live it.

I don't comment on those people's sites any longer as I don't want to waste my votes on people who wish to make Orble into a dictatorship.
Individuality is a wonderful thing and should not be crushed. No-one forces these people to read a certain post ... they choose to read to the end and be offended all of their own free will.
Some people just need to grow up.

To DD (Hi my Caramel Cupcake, also!)
All of this has been a load of hypocrisy.
We've got links on here to see fullblown pictures of Britney's vagina...
(I'm not bagging that at all...since I went to have a look! Will never be the same again)
We've got pictures of dead bodies at one stage...
We all talk about alcohol...
There's politics, etc...
I could go on...
This is not the first time minors have been subjected to such things on this site.
(Politics really scares me....Jesus!)
But yet, H.J. is the one they've made the poster child in how not to act....
What pisses me off is everyone's opinions on the matter...then I read such things as 'I didn't read what happened, but...' and then they put their 2 cents worth in...
(When its not even worth that)
And the subtle hints that fun bantering (I'm not talking about what was said to Katyzzz) is actually pornography...
That really disturbs me.
If people don't like what's written, don't read it. Simple as that.
I've been offended by some things on here....but you get over it.
I wouldn't have signed up for Orble if I knew it had a PG Rating.
I'm mourning Homer Joyce...he was a wonderful man. I loved him. He was special. Not many people realised it.

Thank you. I appreciate your comment.
This is not about Orble doing what they did...although, for doing it without warning...that's an interesting course of action to take.....whenever our government does something like this then woah, watch out....anarchy.
(Ohh the irony...Homer and Howard...Ha!)
An image to protect...hmmmm....
Wow.
People still live like this?
Sad.
Homer's posts should have been deleted.
I understand your point about minors.
I have children...why my youngest would come to Orble when he has better things to do with his online (parent protected) time, I don't know.
As for my other children. They're legal adults. I respect them.
They can make up their own minds...can't they?
But okay...next time one of them says something I don't like, I'll kick him/her out of the house.
Only fair.
I too have an image to protect.
Don't want anyone thinking badly of me now would I?
This is also not about Homer's right to vulgarity.
This is about the hypocrisy of humanity.
How the Voice of Reason isn't always truth.
Sometimes it's vendetta. Impure and simple.
The Voice of Treason.
Was that harsh? Too dramatic maybe?
You've got to be kidding.

But then...I would never expect anything less than what you say. There are 2 reasons I respect you two.
1. You're Andrea
2. you're Karina
Cara....your nature...you have such a wonderful balance of passion and compassion...and hell, you're the pregnant one...you have a reason to tip the scale!
And Cherry...some of the points you made...no all... truly, you are so right.
I wrote this post in a rush of incredulity. Didn't really think about what I was writing. Thank you for your support...I know you both are just as angry and disappointed.
It's not about us against them. But that's the point....when are we just going to be Us?

There are better written blogs on orble (damn I'd name them), I know of one blog that writes so neatly and elequoently that I'm almost afraid to read simply because the posts are so touching at times it hurts me. I stopped reading Wordophilias posts because they just disgusted me.
He abused freedom of speach, honestly theres a difference between freedom of speach and freedom to provoke or right to trash talk (damn I keep repating myself over various blogs here).
He complained about a lack of people reading his blog which started happenig after he let his ego out and people sotpped liking him. He probably realised this and started sucking up to pepole, when things started tipping in his favour again he let his ego out once more. Simply put he got a warning before, and now he got a ban. Done and done.
Good bye brilliant writer, hope you win the noble prize in literature, it wont mean anything to me, your writing sucks.
Anyway I agree with Luke, and wordophilias cut off is good for the communities health, at least we don't have another 'c*nt f***ed me' post on the top 20.
He was a regular fuckwad (I'd direct you to the fuckwad theory post I made for you to know). He really was, I'm surprised there is such a thing, really am, up until now I used to think it was just some random comic strip but it turns out it had merit.

My apologies for not replying sooner. My husband decided to hold an impromptu family defensive action session. Not the gamer kind. Real combat.
It helps channel aggression in to worthwhile and just pursuits.
Like peace and tolerance.
True story. Very empowering.
You should try it.
Wow. You really hate Homer huh?
I'm confused.
I recall you writing elsewhere that you really don't have anything against him. Let me see...
"....I've seen his posts (from the older times), the only time he ever aggravated me was with that 'what is your fave word' post, curse it for filling up my inbox to the brink of explosion! But I don't mind it too much, did it really piss people off that much?"

Ahh...but you did say "from the older times". Sorry. My bad. And he obviously pissed you off. From the start. So why did you comment on his site and posts then?
Although I appreciate your comment, if I was the type to analyse responses, I would be stunned by what your comment says about you rather than what you say about the situation.
But...you have right to be what you want, when you want, how you want and for that no one can condemn you.
Can they?
Just curious...how exactly do posts get to be in the Top 20?
I assumed this was determined by the amount of people reading them.
But...we all know what they say about assume.
I'm assuming (tsk) you play a lot of games Ahmed...just spent some time over at your videogamer site.
Wow, you like the violent ones huh? You think these shouldn't be censored.
"So long as my faveourite games aren't banned.
STill don't like it that the violent games are though.. not fair for those who like them."

All this talk / writing about [delete name, person, identity]?
I refuse to mention [delete name, person, identity]'s name.
Certainly not on Orble, anyway. The consequences of that? Okay, so my Post will end up at No. #1. I've never cared about that. As I'm convinced you don't either. But you certainly deserve to be up there. [Here's looking at you from an equal footing. I'm not putting you on a pedestal any higher than mine. *** Looking over you. Sorry, over at you. Neither down nor up, nor upside down. Just at you].
[delete name, person, identity] is all over Orble.
I almost wish [delete name, person, identity] was back, so I could see less of [you know the drill].
[delete] must have been one 'hell' of a guy. To have everyone thinking about him, writing about him 24/7.
Your post? It says so much about you. So, so, so, so much. * It says so much about others.
Your writing?
Divine.
Publicly?
You are allowed to thank someone publicly on Orble aren't you? Not just slander them? Detract them? Calumniate them?

Publicly. Thank you. [so glad I didn't make a typo there]***

You are allowed to ... [you know the drill ..

PS: Come over and visit My Blog sometime. Faeces Fecit. [That's an old Latin expression which roughly translates to: 'I write some good Sh-.' Literally translated in Classical Latin rather than Latin of the Liturgical kind? It means Sh- happens].
Shsh.
And this is not a plea for you to increase my vote count or increase my popularity. I don't want to be popular. I just want to write. I don't care if you don't even vote on my blog. Come on anonymously. I just think you might like what you see. You might just like what I write. It's all about Love ...
And You know what Love is ...

All I can say, is mind your own (blog) business, engage in other's whose ideas actually inspire you, but be careful what you say, 'cos at the end of the day you're not writing in your own bedroom-bound diary, there are people who will read your stuff whose sensibilities are likely to be far more sensitive than yours.

I liked Homer, even if I didn't enjoy everything he ever wrote. Some of it was just vulgar garbage, but some of it was pure golden poetry.
Freedom of speech is like any other freedom. And freedom without boundaries is only a word.
I think it's in bad taste to speak badly of the dead, they can't fight back. I don't think about ranting how popular his posts were, or the fact that he attacked other people in a fairly nasty way is worth being angry about.
He was a decent man, a good poet and a brilliant wordsmith. Meritricous to the core.

Jesus, what the hell happened while I was on holidays? The world has gone crazy!
I'm devastated that Homer Joyce is gone. I loved his writing. Even when it was confronting and ugly, the beauty of his prose was undeniable.
Nothing makes me angrier than small minded people who think that they are doing things for "our own good".
You've written another wonderful post.

I'm a bit annoyed. At myself.
For using Homer to get on top.
This is not how I'd imagined it would be...
(cue: the puritanical wail)
You know...it's a bit like this...one day this P-plater went roaring down a street I was visiting...he was doing about 90 in a 50 zone.
What did I do?
I went roaring after him to tell him off for speeding.
This is what is happening here.
Children are not as childish as this.
BUT...people were attacking my friend. Someone I adore and respect and gasp like.
My hand of friendship is not fickle. Not even in a virtual world of many levels of association.
And if I have to descend to that level to defend him, then I don't see it as lowering myself...I see it as raising the bar...
I'll be back. I haven't finished my reply to you.
The TTT* phone just rang...I must take my leave...another requires defense against the Sindicate of Disassociation (SOD).

Yes I play a lot of games, well not anymore. For some reason all the kinds of games I liked playing suddenly stopped existing. So sucks to that.
I don't see what my playing of games have to do with anything, perhaps I should extend on that comment about violent ones being banned and how they shouldn't and add to it 'games that go out of their way to offend and provoke have no place in civilized society', and this extends to everything.
Now hear me out, I never hated him until I found his ego got the better of him and he started puting people down, or started purpously offending people in the name of free speach, or just trash talking in the same vein.
Oh and thanks for the compliment Dave, usually people say I'm crazy or over passionate to the point of losing focus on whatever it is I'm writing about.

The last time I read his post and commented he was kind to my comments and was rather polite. I believe he knows who to joke and who not to, who to be polite to and who to be formal with... yet perhaps... sometimes his perception might have misled him. This also happens in the real world.
So from all the comments I gather that his domain was being shut down then? Sorry for being blunt after being away for a while working and back with flooded comments and shocking posts like this one.

That [delete] character?
I'm so deleted off.
What about Me?
What about Me is a song.
It's a song that used to be played on Countdown. In the pre-come
out of the closet ....
Molly Meldrum days ...
'There's a little boy standing
at the counter
of a corner shop ...
and he SCREAMS
WHAT ABOUT ME!
I so love that song ...
Can't remember the name of the band. Memory is 'shot to pieces' ....
I'll tell you a little personal story on Orble about the real me ...
I'm an Adelaide boy.
In former days ...
Rock Bands?
They played at a venue called 'Memorial Drive' ...
It's the name they give the Tennis Centre in Adelaide ...
because the road that runs alongside the tennis centre is called 'War Memorial Drive' ...
Adelaide Oval?
Where the Aussies play Test Cricket?
That abuts Memorial Drive Tennis centre ...
Where was I?
Scroll, scroll, scroll. (in a non scrum way) ...
Okay ...
Memorial Drive is where I saw the majority of rock concerts I ever saw ...
Great venue! Fantastic!
The band?
They set up their stage at the end of three tennis courts ...
The fans ...
They stand on the grass (Lawn Tennis in Adelaide) ... Not Clay.
Manicured gardens ...
And the fans?
THey sit or stand or jump and laugh and go wild in the stands ...
Stands designed for tennis ..
God, I'm tired.
I want to go to bed.
Anyway ...
When I was 17ish ... I went there to see Elton John. Loved his music ... Had no idea what type of lifestyle he lived. Did'n't care ... It was all about his music ...
The date?
Not sure ...
Very soon after John Lennon was shot ....
How do I remember the date ?
Not telling.
Anyway ...
The things I remember most about that concert?
Elton John's music. I'm musically ignorant. Just love music. Can't help myself. Imagine life without music ...
One of his songs ... there was this set of tubes ...I gues they were tubular bells or something ...
but the tinkling sound that came out of them?
I have never forgotten that sound ...
or the image of those thingamebobs in my mind ...
Sort of like a whole lot of flute arranged in a row and tied together with string ... No idea what they call that thingy ...
The other thing I remember ...
Elton John's tribute at the Encore to his dead friend John Lennon ...
Elton John singing Imagine ...
I don't particularly like that song's lyrics because of one line ...
Imagine a world without religion, it's not hard to do ...
But the song! Lennon!
GET OUT OF HERE! (THANK YOU ELAINE FROM SEINFIELD) ...
How can you not admire Lennon's talent?
Genius.
Three cords and the truth.
Simplicity.
Me. Three [can't mention what I do in private] and the truth.
I can so relate to John Lennon.
Someone shoot me?
The third thing I remember about that concert?
And some things are seared into your conscience so damn hard that you can never eradicate them from your memory ...
I was a young boy at the time. Long haired lout. Could have been a muso if I hadn't been banned from the triangle in primary school for not being able to hit the dam thing in the right spot. Bloody triangles ...
So I'm walking among the crowd. And at an Elton John concert in Adelaide? Big crowd. Nothing to do here ...
So I'm walking along and see Molly Meldrum ... And I think ... Wow. That's Molly Meldrum ... the TV star ... the guy who runs Countdown ... who knows all about music ...
Me? Naive me? I wanted to just go up to him and say ... I love your show man ...
The way he looked at me ... ???
I was not as naive as I thought ...
Lust?
And I've never forgotten that look.
Ever ...
I'm talking the 1970s here.
My memory?
I exercise it daily and keep it in shape (Old Skyhooks song about Egos) ...
Me. So arrogantly humble I'm in awe of myself.
Your blog?
In awe of it to the point of forgetting myself.
Me?
Admitting that in a public domain.
Doesn't hurt a bit.
I'm so arrogantly humble. Because I'm me ...

Yes, 'Wordophilia' was shut down.
I'm not Homer's publicist (although...hmmm...should have been), I am his friend.
I am not arguing the reasons why his blog was shut down but by the sounds of it, there are many of us who think that this may have been rather drastic.
Many, many thimngs happened here over the last few days...Schadenfreude...
Your perception of people Jessicca...very cool. I feel you may be right in what you say about Homer.
It's all a bit silly really. Orble is not the world.

The way you treat matters in general (not just private pleas for ammunition) ... ?
The way you treat matters in general?
One word for that.
Professionally.
Can you lend me a few bullets to shoot you with? ***
In public?
Lend me the bullets in private.
And I'll shoot me publicly? ***
You professional you ...
Professional hit-woman folks. That's Dusk.
Me? I wouldn't hurt a fly. Too busy killing them without them having time to hurt.
Hurt? Suffering?
All gone. Dusk stole it.
Threw it away.
Put it in the trashcan ...
Not just a hit-woman.
Thief.
Dusk steals all the things that are bad for you, from you ... and just tosses them away, never to be seen again ...
Invite Dusk over to your blog ...
And see how it changes ...
If there's any hatred?
Dusk will stamp on it.
If you have any hatred in you? Even a skerrick? She'll bash it out of you ... just with her glare ...
I'll stop now ...
You'll get a big head*
and topple over ... ***
David ...
You rock.
Dusk's 100 greatest hits* (compilation disc).
1. The hit she never took because she was too smart.
2-100?
Too busy listening to No #1, thanks.
Busy listening. *
Not writing.
Don't have time to write any more ...
Just too darn busy listening ... and reading what Dusk writes ...
For a man without a life ... ?
So darn busy ... Gawd. Lawdy Clawdy.
Twang! (oops rubber band
just broke ...
[Can't tell you what I use them for on here] ...
Busy listening to 10CC's 'Rubber Bullets' Sherrif ...
Casey Cason Casen? No longer listen to him. Wolfman Jack-al? Nup. Dusk-FM for me thanks ...
*Living my non-life.*
That's Me.

You remind me of this woman on the train who yelled at a bunch of teenagers to stop making so much noise and continued to monitor them on behalf of the other passengers until they reached their stop. I wish my balls were as big as yours and hers.
"You don't need to get a life people.
You need to live it."
Perfect.
David, you really do your domain name justice.
Now to get motivated again...

Before we go any further...please Trina please, if you have the time....go to this post; blog tag pic (link provided).
I love love LOVE your tag pic!
Okay...what I remind me of is what I told David and will repeat (oh okay...cut and paste) here;
It's a bit like this...one day this P-plater went roaring down a street I was visiting...he was doing about 90K in a 50 zone.
What did I do?
I went roaring after him (doing about... hmmm...100k... yes in the 50 zone) to tell him off for speeding.
I got caught up in Trivial Pursuit (ha!)
As for your comment...thank you...I'm a rugby grrl...full of test-rogen...we've got ovular balls!
Thanks Trina...

Thanks Dusk.
Yes, I read that comment which I found very amusing and wondered what the reaction of that P-plater was...
Can you believe these idiots, doing over 200km/hr in 80 zones or something ridiculous like that.

I was going to send you a message by express post ...
in private ...
Okay, so I was going to send you heaps ...
I used to be a postie ...
There are times I go postal ...
And there are times I go EXPRESS POSTAL!!!
But email is even faster ...
I'm sure they'll come up with a term for it ...
Like in Rugby when they talk about white-line-fever?
Anyway, you know more about Rugby than I do.
You SCRUMptious creature you! ***
The rumours?
I've spread a few more about us on my blog.
If you can't beat em, join em?
And on yours. Like now. ***
I also explained on my blog how I say to my friends in real life, 'I love you' ... and there's no sexual connotations in it ... or any innuendo or anything else inferred or implied.
If I write to you, I love You, Dusk.
It means, I love you as I love my friends.
People can read what they like into what I write.
When I say to my mum, I love you mum. She is my mum. I do love her. And I mean it when I say it to her.
My friends?
Same.
You are my virtual friend. You and K.L. ?
The best virtual friends a man could ever wish for.
I love you both.
I love you Dusk.
David ...

I so hate...and love....that I didn't think of SCRUMptious first!!!!
Hate that I didn't think of it.
Love that I've got you thinking Rugby!
My work here is done.
Rumours?
Ahhh...Let them eat fake.
(they've obviously got nothing else to chew on....)
To you...Much love

The most memorable thing that stuck in my head about him was his post about ejaculating when he saw his blog ranked number 1.
It wasnt written with subtley, nuance or with any sort of deep meaning - just rubbish really.
I always though his much celebrated 'brilliance' was akin to the brilliance that Rodney Rude brings to the world of comedy.

Thank you for coming by.
I think you may have the gist of it all now.
My post was simply good old fashioned sticking by a friend.
In retaliation to those kicking him when he was down...and out.
Happy NYE Hope...Happier 2007!

Thanks for coming by.
That post you refer to...
It was written with subtlety, nuance and with a very deep meaning...The fact that you didn't get that post at all pretty much sums it up.
All things are never equal. That's the whole point of Humankind.
Each to their own.
..and any other similar platitude.
Happy New Year ChrisB.
May it be filled with meaning.

I guess you could read into it by saying it was a comment on gross self-infactuation when success comes about...but if that really was the meaning behind it, then so much for subtlety.
Maybe his plane of existence and writing skill was a mile higher than mine - or maybe he was writing nonsense and letting everybody else celebrate it and make up their own meanings to it. John Lennon used to do it with his lyrics all the time. "Let the fuckers work that one out" he apparently said after penning the words to I am the Walrus.
I guess it all comes down to the things we say, the things we hear and the noise in between. I just never quite got the message buried within all that vulgar static.
Happy New Years

This is truly insane. For a blog that proclaims to be about "blogging" where is the right to censor?
Oh, I just said the "r" word.
I was missing Orble but was too busy and hectic to get around to catching up with my faves. And I finally get around to catching up and war has broken loose.
Personally, I couldn't stand HJ, but that's just my opinion. I didn't find him offensive, just (apologies to all his admirers) crap. And a little mad. And you know what? I never visited the site because I knew I wouldn't like it.
But isnt' that part of what life's great enjoyment is? Choices. Individual desires. Personal passion.
I love van Gogh. One of my sisters hates him and thinks he's crap. And she's seen the original paintings. I thought he was crap until I saw the paintings themselves in Amsterdam. Pure magic. My mother had to drag me away and eat (yes, I was in Amsterdam with my Mum. How sad am I?) - I'd still be standing in front of them now if I could, five years later. The layers, the contours, the life they portrayed ... Loved them. Because they were mad. Because they were genius. Because they spoke to me like no other art ever has.
My brother loves Blur, I would rather slice my eyeball with a blunt razor than endure five minutes of listening to that crap.
I love refereeing at wheelchair rugby. Most people in their right mind would find me competely insane. Understandably.
Everyone's a little mad, a little offensive, depending on who you talk to. But everyone has the right to listen to, watch, interact with ... and enjoy or reject, depending on what that rush of blood that, that mesmerised intake of breath, that desire to spit and cuss, the goosebumps tells them.
For a community of 'writers' to censor each other is really quite depressing.
DD, I wrote on another post that I would be visiting again soon ... I will visit you soon (you are my Amazon warrioress), but as for Orble, I think my self imposed exile may continue ...
It's literally making my blood boil.

I feel...emotional. Skip the comments, I'm talking about the post here... beautiful?
Ahh, I know, emotionally stimulated. Bit of dust in a part of me which has just resurfaced.
You're a real survivor, Duski. I've been told I have alot of insight, but I just got trumped. Where did you learn to write like that?
NIDA? AFTRS? Such drama, I'd get so worked up over that I wouldn't really be able to write it out properly.
Here's to the power of the pen (do let's call it that)

The pen being mightier than the sword....has an attempt been made to cut me down?
Oh Holy Cow Milkman...now one question remains... why?
