I was quite surprised to see a thread from the CR printed in the Country Yossi magazine – chanukka issue. I looked with excitement and a bit of fear to see if any posts were from me. And my first reaction was ‘whooo! at least i didnt post on that thread!’
Which thread was published?
I’m confused. What would you be embarrassed to appear there that you were happy to post here in the first place? Its not as if you use your real name. Do you?
Could anyone indicate which thread?
I don’t care what they write about me, as long as they spell my name right.
I also was surprised and disturbed.
when I speak to someone or write something, I naturally take into account the person or audience I am addressing. While it true that these posts are open to the public, I am sure that a feel for the particular venue affected my choices of what to discuss, as well as the tone of voice and wording. I am not from the most frequent posters and I will be posting even less often now.
“..and I will be posting even less often now”
So, you’re threatening us? I’ll have to call CR Threat Bureau, Lt. Jothar.
Can someone please tell us which thread it was?
It was probably the mechalel shabbos troll thread. 🙂
This is what I’ve been saying all along- the cozy atmosphere here is a mirage. Between stalkers/harassers,trolls, and now the thread appearing in print, one really needs to be careful here. I find it a good thing, in that the knowledge that the bittul zman may end up in print may cut down on troll posts. Furthermore, it might bring in fresh blood into the CR, creating more invigorating discussions and diluting the trolls.
it was the ‘colored shirts’ thread.
Man, I didn’t even have anything clever in that thread. Couldn’t he have picked the thread about women not being jewish? Or my retards thread?
“naivety”
PBA- I gotta hand it to you. You are the only one in the CR that has had me LOL!
cuz then PBA would really be in the news 😉
miritchka lol very witty!
YW Editor, congratulations on finding a new way to both monetize content as per the TOS and get new content contributors! Ka-ching!
Lol, this thread made me go from store to store looking for a copy!
They should put the dating stories thread in- that’s priceless!
lol Jothar!
“It was probably the mechalel shabbos troll thread. :-)”
lol Jothar!
This also helps drive home that kol davar besefer nichtav. We think we say something and it disappears. But in Heaven, it’s all written and published.
What point were they bringing out?!? 😉
and now we’re in mishpacha!
Jothar- Which issue were we in?
Which thread is in mishpacha? Which mishpacha? Parshas miketz? I didn’t see us.
Seriously? Which thread? Tell us, please!
What did Country Yossi and Mishpacha write about the CR (other than quoting a thread)?
Why is the cr happy to be in the news?
Could they have done it without permission from YW? It says © on the bottom of the page.
Lifelines article about a kolle guy and his inetrnet addiction. YWN made a prominent appearance. He then stopped going on the internet and it make a big difference.
This months Country Yossi magazine honored by thread “Are Birthday Celebrations UnJewish” with running it in the monthly.
avhaben – I just saw it today and i’m in it!! woohoo! We are famous. Wolf, HaLeivi, Daas Yochid, Sam4321, Writersoul, Toi, Gabi, Think first, Derech HaMelech, 147 and others – let’s celebrate.
Looking back at the posts written here 3 months ago, I see that some ppl are upset that it showed up in Country Yossi. Why? You’re writing on a public forum, you are anonymous anyway. Besides you should be careful of what you write anyway.
That’s really cool avhaben, I gotta check it out. Thanks for sharing.
If someone is upset it might be because even though we are posting anonymously on a public forum, we expect it to be public ONLY on that forum. There are people who read Country Yossi who might NOT be in the CR, so it might feel to some like an invasion of privacy of sorts. Bottom line, don’t post anything you would be ashamed of.
oomis- Right. The last sentences of your post and my previous post should say it all.
