I have seen much worse that did not result in a boxing. This was not a case of the language involved or the name-calling, it was a case of who it was said to.

I hate "office politics" but a warning would have been more appropriate and then if he continued, the boxing would have made more sense. He may have been warned via PM (I don't know), but, it did seem the snake bit without much provication. Or maybe I just have thicker skin?

Getting back to the intent of the thread...
Looks like CNN.com is saying that the box that was attached to the balloon fell off at some point and now they are looking for the box. Free Lathum. It is interesting. The only time I see folks get boxed or banned, wade is involved.

It is weird because the early photos of it didn't show this box. It can't be far. Horrible news if it did fall off.

Nope. It was a case of it being said in a thread where I was reading. I've said it repeatedly: I don't read every thread around here--not even close in OT. If someone reacts like that in other threads, just hit the little exclamation point icon thingy. I look at every post report. There will *always* be significant inconsistencies in modding a board of this size and activity level unless there's a full-time paid mod who can read every single thread.

I'd set the over/under at 2 days on how long it takes the kids brother to crack and admit he is responsible for the balloon "somehow" getting un-tethered.

no no no no NO...see that would have been fair and equitable and taken into account the fact that Lathum apologized BEFORE ben even got to the thread, which would have prevented him from making yet another ill informed, uneducated, and irrational decision because someone had the temerity to say something mean to one of his posse. |

I must be living in an alternate reality, I could have sworn Lathum apologized.

If I saw the parents right now, I would give them the finger and call them douches.

I'll just quickly point out that I had nothing to do with this thread whatsoever until after it was over.

Right, because you think of this forum as being deluged with crap. We remember. Quote:
Sounds exactly like what I said before...we're self-policed. No one immediately reported the post, definitely not before Lathum apologized for his mistake. We're all big boys, I don't know why it has to extend beyond "I messed up and overreacted, my bad." I just find it amazing that a self-proclaimed rare reader of a forum he hates feels like he needs to step in and make someone pay for their mistake when the offender already owned up to it. I completely understand the need for a quick trigger when it comes to objectionable content, as we don't want to put our members at risk when it comes to browsing at work. But for someone flying off the handle and saying something mean before ultimately apologizing? I just don't get it. Respectfully of course, coming from an OG forum member who has never given you or anyone else an ounce of trouble. |

If I die while being in a box after being boxed, then you should be boxed too. In which case, you will die in the box and then I'll have to be re-boxed for requesting you to be boxed before I was boxed. |

He really was hiding in a box in the attic. Considering what happened in this thread over the last couple hours, you couldn't have written that better in a script.

Haha, love CNN's sloppy writing on the article
"The 6-year-old Colorado boy who is believed to have set adrift a helium balloon Thursday, prompting ground and air searches, has been found alive, authorities said." Then a few paragraphs later: "Campanella said authorities are searching the neighborhood for the boy." Did he escape again?? |

Excellent stuff. This is why I keep coming back to this forum, even though it is moderated by someone who thinks he is being hard but is really just showing poor judgment.

Oh, and I think wade looks really bad in this whole situation. No offense to you wade, as I like you, but why are seemingly involved in so many boxings?

I know why Lathum was in the box, but why do you think the Kid was in there? Did he call someone a douche too? Did Wade say something to him to piss him off?

"I've seen worse not get boxed" is the single stupidest fucking argument ever.
