That's too bad, because you're missing excellent chances to pad your post count.

Thanks for the clarification...I figured that was what it was, but couldn't resist the chance to type tuppence...figured I might not get many chances to use that word

See, that is the difference between you and I. I'm not here to accumulate fans. I'm not here to piss people off. I'm here to engage in a few discussions and maybe learn something new.

JRS, all I can say to that is that this thread is pretty much what I get on a regular basis. Other than a couple of new "contributors" to the dogpile, there's really nothing new in my direction in this thread.

see Jon, IMO, and yeah, you probably don't need it anyway, this is what's got some people to "vilify" you in some ways. That reply was not really needed and you too could use the "ignore" feature, or simply read her post and let it flow.

Honestly, I like many aspects of what you bring to the board. You seem passionate in many aspects of your life, like when you speak demographics and such, or about your son, or your possible new house. The political stuff, I don't read it, or almost never read it, but you're just as passionate in that part of it. I just decide to ignore that part...

If the mods proposed having a rule against direct insults against another person (or just direct insults using vulgarity), I'd endorse it. I'd even support a banning of the C-word, since it's not on my list of civil words.

DaddyTorgo · 03-09-2006, 01:46 PM

if we ban c*nt we also ought to ban f*g and f*ggoty and all forms of that too.

Yup. I'm a frigging liberal here, even though I would have voted for Bush in 2000 and not voted in 2004. I think this boards leans conservative, as much of the older crowd appears to lean that way (I'd guess the average age on this board is in the high 30's).

I see it more as he insulted FN's wife, not another banned person. He insulted her and he knew capsicum was FN's wife. There's a big difference between that and insulting HM or mrskippy.

You do know that hornsmaniac is married to mrskippy?

chinaski · 03-09-2006, 01:58 PM

all i know is, no person should ever spend this much time worrying about a message board. Slowly, step away from the computer. its text on a screen, in a fantasy land of sim sports. how about instead of spending hours online posting pointless messages on a interent board, why not spend those hours with your wife? Job? Hobby? Kids? Is there anything else so vital?

well said. i try not to ever get too wrapped up in the drama. when i do i like to shut down my browser and take a deep breath and go "there's still a whole nother world out here of people who know nothing about JiMG or FN or Hornsmanic or capsicum."

I won't defend Jon's original post to Skydog, because I happen to not agree with it, but I do find it amusing to see JPhillips accuse Jon of being a woman, considering the sheer number of people who get offended by any mention of homosexuality in a joking context.

I guess if the phrase "waaahwaaahwaah, my pussy hurts" is considered acceptable, then it'd be all right to tell someone "I can't make sense of what you're saying. Take the dick out of your mouth and speak clearly"?

LOL great post.

Here's the thing FrogMan, I hope it makes some sense.

"Let it flow" isn't in me much, and especially not when I feel like I'm getting shit from someone who I don't feel like has any business giving me any. Take a shot at me, I tend to shoot back. And it's a pretty short list of people I believe have any business giving me much crap in life. Doesn't mean I don't get any crap, far from it really (pretty much like the rest of the world), just means that I've probably got a little lower percentage of people who do it to me without getting some back in return.

I kinda believe that there's a finite amount of shit any one person will take in their life. Some people have a high amount, some people have a low amount. And at some point in my life, a number of years ago (by my count it's about 19-20 years ago), I ran all out of "take shit".

LOL! Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought it was with you, the "let it flow" not being in you

It's how you are, I can understand that, but when you start responding to people you have to know you will get responded to too, if that makes sense, then you will respond again and to which they will respond again, and... (guess you get the point

)

The being out of "take shit" kinda means to me you that you'll always be on the fighting end of the stick, and this with still a long time to go in your life. That's a long time to be always fighting...

But that logic suggests that it's OK to call everyone on the board by an obscene name, so long as they aren't married to another board member and their spouse will go Jean Claude on your ass. That suggests there is some kind of magic shield protecting married board members. It can't work that way.

The mods have to have a "veil of ignorance" about these kind of things. You can't take those things into consideration.

Then again, FN took the high road and played the "your momma" card, so I think he loses any "don't pick on my wife" credibility.

kcchief19 · 03-09-2006, 03:38 PM

You should check out the RWBL message boards from a few weeks ago when Schmidty got drunk on a couple of wine coolers, went ape on a couple of other owners, quit the league and showed up sober the next trying to remember what the hell happened. Good stuff.
