Day some serious shit flying around in heah!

Hey buddy buddy! I aint fer shootin no one. Too damn earluh in the afternoon. I'll leave the one twos fer you smart fellers.

Yeah, Boom, when you insult people, you only get a 1-day ban, you're a better risk

Yeah, but I hurt the ones I love. *bats his eyelashes*

 

[groundpounder]

you silver-tongued devil, you

 

[Tim]

Cliffs
...Cotton got popped for breaking the rules because AEF tattled to Admin (I would have, too)...

Truth be known... nobody tattled. I wandered in here all on my own.

There was a request to remove the picture, but that was all...

 

[Boomer]

You know it playa!

So with all due respect...I am very confused now.
No post was reported.
No one else complained about any posts.
So what was the probation for then, something you didn't like, Tim?
I mean...yeah, you have the power to not like stuff and to put someone on probation for it, but I thought infractions were discussed?
I don't understand.

 

[Boomer]

<~~~confused.

Who got teh..*looks around* ban?

 

[Cotton]

No bans issued.

 

[Boomer]

*sits down and shuts up* I am not fit for this conversation.

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

It's a good thread.

It's a good thread that suddenly took a turn for the worse and went horribly wrong....but thank God or whoever better sense prevailed and got back on track with cooler heads.

Dayuuumn you guys are so friggin hot headed at times. Let's try and have good debates without the name calling et al and avoid the risk of being penalized and butt hurt.

*Rodney King voice*
Can't we all just...get...alooong? :unsure:

 

[Breath]

My bad, Boomer, I said ban, but I meant an infraction.

Have you read the following?

Resolving personal conflicts

 

[Boomer]

Awe! Its ok breath.

 

[Breath]

Have you read the following?

Resolving personal conflicts

As a matter of fact, I did find that thread and read it before I asked the question.
My question is why are you now the sole judge, jury and executioner in determining what was a personal insult? Since no one reported anything or complained, was it you that was insulted?

 

[groundpounder]

here we go again...

about the tattling comment......that "cliffs" post had more than a whiff of humor in it, and tattle is a funny word.

Breath, Admin does a good job. Stand down - it's OK to do that...

 

[groundpounder]

not God. Me. and maybe Tim.

(Donnie's gonna LOVE that one)

CB, you gots to loves you some internets, don'tcha?!?!? :24:

 

[Tim]

It was a personal attack. It was dealt with.

He knew the rules and they were broken, so he got an infraction.

You can't please all the people all the time. There have been numerous complaints that the staff doesn't do enough to stop the personal insults and attacks. This very topic was discussed at length in the site mod room and what should be done about it. That was the whole reason for the Resolving personal conflicts thread. We wanted to make sure it was very clear to everyone where we stand on this very issue.

 

[groundpounder]

Since no one reported anything or complained, was it you that was insulted?

it was my understanding that AEF mentioned it. I may have heard that incorrectly.

BUT, having said that, if Tim or V or any other mod sees and infraction, whether they are personally affected by it or agree/disagree, they reserve the right to enforce the rules whether someone said something or not. That's an easy one.....

 

[Cotton]

Out of curiosity could I consider his calling "creationism" stupid be considered a personal attack.... I mean I'm Roman Catholic and therefor believe in creaionism. I'm highly offended that he called me stupid!

 

[groundpounder]

My entire point of this thread was to show how intelligent debate is carried out and not whore up the pic thread with a difference of opinion with AEF.

Intelligent debate = good.

name calling and mudslinging = bad and infractions usually ensue.

unfortunately, mudslinging and namecalling are usually a fact of internet life.

 

[Cotton]

I mean cause I was infracted for refering to atheists as douchebags... So whats the difference of him refering to people that believe in creationism stupid..

Oh wait I know, Tim is atheist. MY MISTAKE!
