WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Legendary film star Paul Newman, whose brilliant blue eyes, good looks and talent made him one of Hollywood's top actors over six decades, has died, a spokesman said on Saturday. He was 83 and had been battling cancer.

He probably couldn't bear the prospect of watching the vice-presidential debate...

Seriously, it is sad that he has died, but he had a good and long life.

[tekobari]

You're right, miv. He had a good life, which is what counts at the end. He also gave back, through his charity. It's sad he's gone, though.

[mivona]

His political activism and charity work puts him in a really good place, I am sure. Someone who lives his ideals is worth more than any self-proclaimed born-again.

Now that's really COLD, Mivona. JMHO.(and not the first time you have trashed this sort of thread)



Rest in peace, Paul. You were a remarkable man.

[mivona]

Anybody that Nixon hated is ok with me...

You don't like my eulogy for him? Tough.

[krisinluck]

Ah, shit.

The last photo I saw of him looked bad, and I wondered how long he'd last. But still...another icon gone is hard to take.

RIP, Paul. You'll always been Butch Cassidy to me.

You trashed Charleton Hestons thread, so it's no wonder that you trash this one too. You really should stop showing you ass to everyone, Mivona. We get it. You live to hate. :000000rockinross:

[mivona]

Trashing?

Get a frigging life and learn to read.

Hypocrite. Go piss up a rope, k?:1jester:

[mivona]

I know, I know... it makes you feel like you are really big and tough, to come here and harangue me about completely ridiculous crap, so you can go over and post about it at Trouble's.

Now, just who is trashing this thread?

[White Owl]

Ahhhhh...an admission that you read his board? :1rotflmao

Honestly, Mivona, after our last spat I thought that you were worth given a second chance. Now, I doubt it. This is the SECOND time that you have shown your complete disrespect for others feelings.

Paul Newman was a GREAT man, actor,person. If you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all. But then again, we all saw your tasteless picture of Jesus on Hep's board. You are a disgusting, vile woman. You have absolutely NO respect for anyone but yourself, and others see this. It's no wonder why the posters on this board have bailed because of YOU.

And Kris, I see the same thing......Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. THAT was a great movie!

[mivona]

You are an idiot, Shawn.

I didn't say anything unkind about Newman, you second-rate dickhead.

[White Owl]

You are an idiot, Shawn.

I didn't say anything unkind about Newman, you second-rate dickhead.

First of all, Mivona, that is NOT my user name here. You are NOT allowed to call me anything other than my USER NAME here, per Kris's rules. I think I will say who can and cannot call me by my legal given name on this board. Is this a board of double standards????

Second, you most certainly DID trash this thread. You are a cold bitch. Why would anyone post to a RIP thread when they do not like said person if only to trash?

And third: nice name calling. I did not call you any names(until now) at all on this thread, you THIRD rate cunt.:1chirol_k

[toke]

Okay, White Owl. Please quote what Mivona said that trashed Paul Newman. Just quote it.

[White Owl]

He probably couldn't bear the prospect of watching the vice-presidential debate...

Seriously, it is sad that he has died, but he had a good and long life.

Toke, this is hardly a thing to say in a RIP thread. But then again, Mivona could not give a rat's ass for anybody else's feelings/beliefs what so ever as evidenced in this thread:

UFB.

[mivona]

Hmm...

What is the heinous part of my post?

That I made a political joke regarding the up-coming VP debate? Newman was a political man.

That I acknowledged that it was sad that he died?
Um... I thought that was a standard part of any RIP thread of someone who is well regarded.

Or that I noticed that he had a good and long life?
Again... is there something wrong with commenting on the quality of his life (good) or its length (83 years)?

Go on, Shawn... explain what it was that I posted that flipped you. If you can.

[White Owl]

Stop using my real name, Mivona, of I will start using yours. Got it?

And so far I have had 4 PM's applauding me about addressing you. All on my side. You are driving everyone away. Good going.

[mivona]

That's pretty lame, dear... I could just as easily report my overflowing in-box.

You are known as Shawn on other boards, there is no amazing breach of privacy there, kiddo. Who knows if Shawn is really your name?

On the other hand, I have only ever been known as mivona on these boards, since my very first registration at AW. Use anything else, and I'm sure you will be gone.

Do you want to keep trashing up this thread with your crap, or do you want to take it to another?

[toke]

The political joke was apropos...Paul Newman was a long-time liberal activist.

And it most assuredly IS sad that he is dead, but he did have a spectacularly good life...and a long one.

There was no trash here until you brought it, White Owl.

So you refuse to call me White Owl here? Is that what you are saying? As far as your overflowing inbox, don't make me laugh. Time will tell, dear.

[mivona]

When you can explain what I posted about Newman was so god-awful, I'll give some consideration to your name.

[White Owl]

Fuck you cuntrag. What makes you think YOU can break the rules here and others can't?

Kris, I'm sorry, but I'm calling you out on this one. Does the rules apply to all or just a select few?

[mivona]

Yeah, that's a really respectful contribution to the Newman thread.

:1fuck1:

Really, getting so bent out of shape by someone knowing and referring to you by your better known board ID... yeah, boost that blood-pressure baby! Go for the apoplectic!

Choose your battles, baby.

[White Owl]

At least *I'm* not responsible from driving off 80% off this board, peaches. You are.

But keep playing. We are all enjoying your implosion. :1rotflmao

I know of a board that you will fit in...it's called "The Train Wreck". There you can be yourself and be as hateful as you want without offending others! :1clap8:

It would not be the first time a poster from here did that, right La Gazza and Runfa? :butt:

[mivona]

You have had one time-out for this kind of crap, dredging up fights from long ago and far away. You are not welcome to bring that here.

If you want to stay and post your thoughts and views with some consideration for others, you are welcome to do so. If not, I am sure we can arrange another vacation for you.

Now, are you quite finished with trashing this thread, or how many more pages are you intent on?

Now you are an admin?????? If so ban me bitch. Do it. You have NO say what I can and cannot say. Only KRIS does. Just who the fuck do you think you are??????

[White Owl]

And BTW, Mivona, it ain't YOU that's bringing in the hits. :000000rockinross:

Ok. Let the howls of impotent outrage begin. I'm off to sleep the sleep of the wicked.

[krisinluck]

GODDAMMIT.

I chose to take care of my work that had to be submitted tonight before I came over here, and I guess it's a good thing because I would have been so pissed my data entry would NOT have been accurate in the least. (That would be job number 3, if anyone is keeping track.)

Look, people - if you are going to take offense at every damned thing Miv says, then you are going to be offended all the time based on your own gift of finding something offensive in every post she makes. It's a vicious circle.

She did NOT say anything offensive about Paul Newman; she spoke based on the well known fact that he was liberal and not shy about it.

She did call White Owl by his own name, which is the only thing in this thread she did "wrong". OMG. Call the cyber police.

White Owl, I like you, man. But I don't like it when you make your rare appearances here simply to start up shit with Miv. If you are going to participate, then please do so. Otherwise, give it a rest. Seriously.

Miv, learn to ignore it. Just ignore it. It only goes crazy when you feed it with responses.

Some of you are just itching to take Miv on because she doesn't toe the line you think she should. I appreciate Miv for that very reason. She's direct, she says what she thinks, and she rarely needs to use terms like "cuntrag" to get the message across because she's eloquent enough to express herself without resorting to that.

For fucks sake, people. WTF do you all want me to do about this?

If you think I'm going to ban her, you should just check out now. I don't ban people unless they are posting PI or stalking others across threads. She's not doing that. She's just over the heads of some of you who have decided to label her as evil and demonic and all this bullshit that is so far out there it makes my head hurt.

For those the above paragraph pertains to, I'll tell you just like I said to someone in a PM just MOMENTS ago who is leaving because there is one person here they can't tolerate: Sorry to hear you are leaving us.

I see TRS as kind of an open market community, and that means there are all kinds of people. There is no need to engage every person on every topic - read what interests you, comment when you choose to, and skim the rest. That's what I do at any forum I'm in, and it keeps me from cutting ties that I don't want to cut simply based on one person who grates my nerves.

But to each their own, and I wish you well. You know the door remains open here.

KrisTake it, leave it, whatever. But this place is NOT my top priority these days - it's not even in the top seven, to be honest. It's a place to hang out and talk to people I've known for years, and that's it.

I'd miss it, but it wouldn't kill me.

And YEAH, this thread is LOCKED. Paul Newman doesn't deserve to have his name as the header on this shit.
