Taz is gone???????? What Happened?

What Happened to the post???

Had a fellow asking about my machines. Sent him to go see what Taz had said about them and also said there were pics in the post. Taz had given a great testimonial. He informed me it wasn't here. After calling him BLIND 3 times I came and had a look myself. Im confused? Why would it all be deleted?

Out of the 95 drama filled posts on the "Taz is gone" thread the only one that had to do with machines was "Oh yeah... HOTSPARK MACHINES KICK ASS!! GET SOME YOU WILL LOVE EM!!! ( had to get one last blurb in for ya Rob Ol Pal!!)" No pics or anything, just drama... Maybe the thread your thinking about is old and fell off the bottom (though it can still be found by searching the archives).

Dropped off the end of the list my ASS!!! This post was deleted deliberately and you know it Gabe. Why lie about it? Was it embarassing you? And what about the guy who advocates free speech? What a phony! So now you censor anything you don't care for or is in opposition to your views? Did it offend your delicate sensibilities that so many people posted favorably for the unnamed demon (you all know who!). Before you even start I am posting this on the shop computer so the IPs will be the same.You are welcome to call the shop ans I will tell you that I posted this. Admit it Mr. Censor this forum is now BORING! Tim

tim Please re-read this thread, and really a good lesson is to READ the entire thread of any thread before posting. Gabe said he got rid of the "Taz is gone" thread and that the only mention of machines ---> what paloejohn was asking about --->had probably dropped to the bottom of the page. In fact Gabe even copy pasted the only comment about machines from the deleted thread right here for paloejohn to see with directions to search the archives to find what he was looking for. There are no hidden censors here and sorry we won't be admitting that the forum has gotten boring because we like peaceful, drama free environments. the forum and TattooNOW are dooing just fine thanks :-) kmama

Surer,right, I'll act like I believe you.The (taz is gone) post is GONE. You may fool some people but not all by a long shot. We know what time it is.

Yes it is very peaceful here with only 6 or 7 posts a day Very peaceful. But so are graveyards!

hmm, you must really like graveyards hey, its saturday. . .have any tattoos to do? Me? Well, I'm listening to Tony Bennett and smelling the pumpkin bread that my daughter and I are baking getting near done in the oven. What a beautiful autumn day. Thanks for asking.

Uh, yeah it was deleted, so what? I could give a rats ass about IP addresses, and who's who, and oh my god we have got to get someone for this or that. Lame, totally lame. Now that I've said that, I had the weirdest dream last night. What was it? Ok I'll tell you! Apparently I had gone with my friends to get a tattoo at some skeevy dive, and I kept saying throughout the dream "Hey, I don't know about this.." But I guess I didn't have much resolve, and I ended up with a tattoo that was supposed to be on my thigh on my ankle (I have no idea how that happened) and there were like blisters and strange cracks around the whole thing even though it was just an outline...and outline of what looked like some sort of wing or something. Anyway, I was crying and I had to call Guy and tell him the whole thing and he gave me a sympathy cover-up. But the coverup had this banner on it that said "I am a dork" and skittles..the actual candy around it for some reason. There was more to the dream, but at that point it was such a crazy nightmare that I don't want to think about it anymore. Although, thinking about it now it's pretty hilarious. Now I'm going to go running to tighten up my sweet sweet ass. Kim, why don't you ship me some of that bread as a reward for running. Because I need one, seriously.

LOL that is a weird dream! I think this loaf of bread is taken but if ya come visit I promise to make some more!

Whats lame is a post being deleted the excuse being its lame when almost all the posts here are lame...its censorship anyway you look at it. It was removed because of support for a certain person .That is clear.Why was that post the only p[ost deleted? We know why HYPPOCRACY! People who expound on freedom of speech constantly then use their powers of censorship to delete what some think is a very relevant post just suck. You should work for Old GW Bush!

Yeah, it was pretty strange, it seems all my nightmares are about getting coverups and William Blake lately (don't ask, hehe). I have to go back east in October, to meet my stepmother and shop for a bridesmaid dress for me. Let me tell you, I am really looking forward to that. It's sure to be a horrifically awkward visit, I'll see if I can come up to Mass for a quick jaunt? In another unrelated topic, it's my birthday in 7 days, I'm getting so freaking old I can hear my joints creaking.

bridesmaid dresses what fun! it that skin crawling fun kinda way my best friend is getting married next summer and she asked me to give her away. I think thats pretty cool and i wont have to wear the dreaded bridesmaid dress ;-) happy soon birthday what are ya gonna be 22 or something? can't start whining about achey bones yet! but speaking of aching bones a rieki and massage place just opened up 2 doors down from the tattoo shop and as soon as nap time is over i am off to get a massage!!!!

Happy birthday. thats so on topic.Lets talk about bridesmaids dresses. how interesting. What ajoke.

Yup, 22, Phil's turning 25, I guess that makes him an older man, ha. Our birthdays are a day apart, and as a special gift from the sweet lords of Sci-fi (or Kobol if you will) the new season of Battlestar Galatica starts on our birthday weekend! When I think about it, I choke up a little. I kind of talked myself into the bridesmaid thing, so it's no one's fault but my own. Honestly I was kind of hoping my parents would never marry anyone else again, but oh well, at least there's an open bar. I think I'm getting married next year, I'm opting out of the whole giving-away groomsmen/bridesmaid thing. I am opting for a very wondrous and probably prohibitally expensive dress however.

And also good luck on your massage, when I had to re-hab my achilles tendon tear it was the only thing I looked forward to. And thanks for the happy birthday tim!!!!! (exclamation points to the max for you my friend)

welcome

yeah yeah, Im a big bad censor... if I took down all lame posts then there would be no posts cause they are all lame. Im quite the power hungry nut job hell bent on removing all traces of things positive about taz. What a world you live in Tim. The thread turned into stupid tit for tat. In fact, both of the threads that I took down during all that drama were about the same insanely stupid IP argument. The conspiracy really runs shallow here, I guess I really have a thing about people who argue about exactly how IP addresses work. Also, I imagine you noticed the Battlestar Galactica ads we have up on the site? I know its silly to take pride in such things, butBattlestar fucking Galactica! I havnt seen any of the new ones, I guess I should rent em now... heh. No time for fun TV, must work work work so I can keep the charade up!

Gabe, I am so into it, you have no fucking clue, I'm geeked out to the extreme. Robots+space+explosions=badass Also, the fact that the writing is literally the best television writing I've ever seen in my fucking life. You know, with all this talk about censoring......I'm thinking you might be a cylon! Frak you cylon!

Dude, Tim man- you need to relax. All this over some posts on a message board...? Do you, taz, gabe or anyone else on here really care that much about all this bs drama? Its pretty trivial in my opinion. Yeah free speech, its a public forum, censorship, etc... but big deal. (Feel free to hold back the political and preechy rants and raves) I run a website(non tattoo related) with a forum and we have deleted posts, banned people and deleted accoounts in the past. Not many but a couple. Bottom line, as owners and/or moderators of a particular site, if we find it necessary- we have that right. Everyone can side with whom they wish and say what they want to regarding this taz thing but in the big scheme of things who the fuck really cares. I think Gabe is doing a pretty awesome job with this site and its definitely THE BEST all around tattoo related resource on the net i have found.

I vote that Gabe delete any post talking about stupid forum politics for the next month or so until people stop doing it! Topics include - Taz Image Security (to stop spam) Complaining about ad's Bitching about censorship Any other post that degrades this forum Craig

Well you can go aheaqd and dselete this too... hyppocritical bullshit without a doubt this is about deleting posts about people supporting the unnamed one open your eyes freedom of speech my ass

Tim, your thick. Taz isnt unnamed and I have not gone and washed this site of all positive comments made about Taz. I took down two posts that turned into really really stupid IP address fights. Your freedom of speech crusade isnt going to get much traction i dont think... Im really confused, if you think Im such a censoring dictator and that all the posts here are lame, why do you stick around? Just go open your own board... and feel free to plug it here once in a while. dont worry, we will have plenty of fun without you....

and I probably will delete this thread too, see, its this drama bullshit that you keep going that we dont like here...

Hey Tim here's a word of advice, Give it a freakin brake. IM pretty sure everyones over this bull shit. Let it go, you just look like a knukle head. JOE

JOE damnn yooouuu. why cant you live in california. conneticutt is soooo far away especially for those of us who ride bicycles. ive been wanting to get a pin up of a heavily tattooed woman. and after seeing your gallery of pin ups ive been holding off cause i cant imagine anyone who could pull it off better than you man. hope i get to meet you someday alex
