Dan Gross Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Sometimes the best of intentions don't go as planned. 182800[/snapback] That's okay, as they learned in the Spanish Inquisition, fear and surprise are the main weapons. Giving fair warning just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Sometimes the best of intentions don't go as planned. 182800[/snapback] It was a noble idea but as I stated in my post its hard to define the limits of whats acceptable. My view is if someone wants to be a jackass than let the rest of the board give them what they deserve. Maybe all we need to do is try to avoid the personal attacks.

MDH Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thanks to whichever Admin it was for stepping up! 182799[/snapback] Yeah, an admin creates a thread then doesn't like the direction it goes and POOF, it disappears. Whatever. There are threads upon threads of people threatening physical violence to others and threads with racist, bigoted sh-- in them...yet they are all okay...yet if someone jumps on an admin for being a douche, buh-bye thread. I'm sure this thread will disappear too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The personal attacks ad-nauseum are 100x worse than any harmless nonsense someone posts. If you're gonna ban anyone, ban those who attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow if you type out the word f-u-c-k y-o-u the board censors it yet at the same time the :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: is right there for the clicking. So I guess it’s the letters of the word that are offensive and not the sentiment. I’m not advocating taking the :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: off the board, I’m just tired of the hypocrisy. Soon someone is going to be banned for using the :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: smilie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't control people having dumb opinions, but there is no need for personal attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
