Dubman.
Stop behaving like a kid with a new water pistol. You don't go about locking threads and changing posts or thread titles in the World Forum just because you can, and because you think it's funny. You want to diss people or take the piss out of them? That's fine. Just do it the clever way, because if you keep on abusing your mod power you will find yourself all on your own laughing at your own jokes (which you will have had to post yourself anyway because no bugger else will be posting). If your only agenda is to wreak mayhem "for a laugh" - and let's be fair, you have said yourself you are not interested in the debate in this forum - then go right ahead. Light the blue touch paper and stand well back. And watch your firework fizzle out like a damp squib as one by one people disappear to somewhere where the integrity of what they post in a political forum is not jeopardised by someone whose sense of humour is stuck in grade school. |

i also take great steaming offense at humor being stuck in grade school as if it's a bad thing. it's the same impulses dressed up to look more 'sophisticated' as we grow up. also it's pretty fun if you dont give a shit because it still makes the adults flustered. |

Re: moderators editing members posts
How many threads have been locked here in the past 6 or so years? Theres very little reason ever to lock threads, especially on this forum (world even more so). Yannick and Tom have screwed around in other parts of this forum, namely noise/static. The world forum always gets more heated because politics and religion always bring out the strongest feelings. Even so, I cant remember ever seeing a locked thread here or even posts being edited. This is still one of the most free and most "hands off" forums around and I like it that way. No need for the banstick. Just a PM will do.
If youre going to rename thread titles, only do it for clarity and put the original title in brackets. If youre going to edit things from someones post then comment on what youve changed and why. Same goes for deleted posts. As for the whole topic of Bush hating women, well I always thought he was a closet homosexual :p |

Oh...My...God...
Sean, BB, please just give it up. dubman has been beaten about the head and shoulders quite enough already, and since there are no real consequences to his behavior on this board (other than getting banned - and let's face it, if you're repeating "Down the road, not across the street" because you got permabanned from a website, you need to be slapped) getting all wound up about it is only going to make you more aggrivated at the end of the day, because he'll just keep acting the way he wants. You've said what you need to say. Go grab a bite to eat, take in a nice movie (I hear there's quite the doozy about a man who dresses up as a flying rat), do a striptease for your spouse: whatever! Enjoy your lives, because while you say you have more important things to do than post here, you're being RLY RLY SRYUS right now. It's sad that cacophony (who was getting pretty goddamned interesting) had to take a break. I hope she's taking a break. I hope she comes back and tweaks a few more noses before she's done. Frankly, I'm far more interested in dealing with people who are rigidly steadfast in what they think, even if they're in disagreement with me, because, if nothing else, it makes me think long and hard about what I believe. Huh-huh..."long and hard." Sorry, I've been in the desert too long. If you're still lurking a little bit, cacophony, I still love you, even though I think you were acting a little batshit insane for a while there. I'm not going to mince words or dance around for you, because I don't think you appreciate it. Some of us, particularly myself and Sean, have taken some real abuse on this board, and have subsequently had to get leagues better at debate, and the fine art of taking shit. We don't stop...ever. Not until you crush us in a hydraulic press (50 points to whomever figures that out) made of pure reason. Calling us "poopie heads" or whatever only makes us bite harder. dubman, you may think that this board is just some static that you have agreed to preside over, but I offer this: Since I came here, back in '99, I've changed my stance on gun control and the death penalty. Granted, that may have happened with time, but I definitely credit the people who helped me get there a little quicker; ergo, Sean, Janie (or BeautifulBurnout if you prefer), HAL9000, sven, Ally, human151, myrrh...if I weren't so tired, I'm sure the list could go on and on. Point is: this might seem pretty trivial and lol to you, but it's been an experience for some of us, and you should probably think about respecting that, just a little bit. I think you've taken more than your fair share of shit in the last few days, but you have to admit you've invited some of it with your "I don't care what you wrote, and I think it's ROFL funny, but I'm going to post here again and poke you some more!" attitude. On a lighter note, I only have a little over 50 days left in this shit-box. Keep the beer cold. |
