You obviously missed part of my post .. where I mentioned hashing each other is not the point of the thread.

I made this thread simply because we've been told to move to the PW thread instead of hogging up the original thread (no one's ever said .. don't talk about this anymore .. and I don't think they mean for us to .. they just want it out of the thread that's being de-railed).

Mod's aren't telling us to STFU when they remove our posts (or that's not the conotation I've gotten from thePM's that have been sent to me when my personal posts have had to be removed) .. they simply mean for us to take it "outside".

This is outside.

No matter where it goes .. it won't stop .. so that's not really an option.


Frankly I like the idea, so long as it stays within due bounds person to person wise, like Jennay has assured, was not the intent of this, to people bash, rather when a thread derails, it re-tracks here:D

Is that what you are smacking down Jennay?:D

[*]Ever have your post deleted because it was OffTopic in an OT thread?
[*]Ever really wanted to respond/post something after a warning was posted in a thread to "cease and desist" .. but know you aren't supposed to??

Jennie, those are 2 of your points for this thread.
Both of those could be for reasons of arguing or going off-topic with insults.
None of that needs to be prolonged.
A deleted thread could be for that reason. A warning to "cease and desist" could also be for that reason. We really don't need to see those things prolonged. Whatever else you want to say to justify this thread, the original reasons you stated are enough for me to know that bringing something worthy of being deleted or worthy of being warned to stop from one thread into this thread are not conducive to the mood I believe most of the members want to keep in this forum.

It's really simple, if it's something that has been deleted because it needed to be, then no it's not wise to continue it elsewhere, and the mood should always stay non-combative and non-personal no matter what thread we are in.

If it means that posts get deleted from here because of that, then the section mod or admin will make the call.

Above that, there is nothing technically wrong with a thread like this that I can see.

But, ehh what do I know.

Why are you trying to make this out to be somethign it's not?

I've clearly stated what this thread was for like .. what 5 times now?

We all jnow what I'm talking about .. I dunno why you keep chasing your tail in a circle for .. trying ot make this thread be something it wasn't ever intended for.

You're the only one who thought that it was for side stepping around a Mod removal for insulting posts .. which it's been clearly defined as not being for.

Your posts in this thread are Off Topic .. so technically they could be deleted .. now .. you might feel what you've said is important .. and Mods have said that if they delete your post .. you CAN post it int he PW thread.

Same deal here.

So quit trying to turn this into somethign I have to justify .. I don't. I laid the rules out clear in the beginning .. quit trying to be one of the ones who skirts under the door. You're just giving people the ideas to do it.

Jennie...Jennie...Jennie.
You think by shifting the idea that I am somehow trying to turn you into the bad guy, that you will have some sort of justification. Yeah yeah, you SAID that wasn't your intent. But the types of reasons you WROTE YOURSELF for continuing conversations from other threads in this thread are all potential time bombs.
Why can't YOU see that you love the controversial and would love to see that exact thing come into this thread, which of course you say now you didn't want, to make yourself look good. You wrote the thread, and YOU insinuated the idea. I only mentioned it because of YOUR OP. So I am not off-topic here since I am commenting in your thread about your idea.
Let's hear Evan's explanations for what types of posts are deleted and what types of reasons are given for warning a user to cease, and we'll see if those things are what might end up here. Since that's what you want.

OMG .. what is wrong with you? Are you on something tonight?

:24: :24:

Stooping to a patronizing attitude is not attractive. Engage in discussion. Stop the ridiculous insinuation. You had an idea. I disagree with it. Get over it. Your proclivity to thinking you're an expert reminds me of someone else here who has "Know-It-All" in their title.
The difference here is I stated an opinion.
You can't do that. All you can preach is:
"Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right. "Jennie is right.

Boring.

Looking at your first post that you opened this thread with, I also read it that you want any type of comments posted here, that haven't been allowed elsewhere - that is how it reads to me.

Later on in this thread, you say it isn't what you are suggesting, so there are contradictions that need to be cleared up really. Maybe you could edit your OP to state it's not to bash eachother on here or something?

If only decent things are going to be said, then I don't see a problem, but as I said, that's not really what you suggest in the OP, or with that example you have used, with your response.

Looking at the bigger picture, things might get very heated with personal insults flying, but that will only show with more posts, maybe they won't, but already feathers are ruffled, so I am not sure on this myself.

It's not my decision anyway, but there is definately confusion on what you have posted in your op - your other posts. So, I :dunno

when i've removed any of your posts i've always given you a reason and apologised for doing so

Really, I didnt get that from the OP at all. Then again, its not the first time you just didnt have the ability to understand a post. :smiley24:

Then perhaps you should re-read the post and keep reading until about 2 posts down.

Later on in this thread, you say it isn't what you are suggesting, so there are contradictions that need to be cleared up really. Maybe you could edit your OP to state it's not to bash eachother on here or something?

Why would I edit it when I stated it about 40 times since then?

If only decent things are going to be said, then I don't see a problem, but as I said, that's not really what you suggest in the OP, or with that example you have used, with your response.

It says nothing about throwing insults (which are against the rules anyways). Also, just because people quit posting in one thread doesn't mean those feelings just "go away" .. they just usually surface right back up .. in another thread .. de-railing that one instead.

Kinda like y'all have this one, but that's ok.

Alright people, time to calm it down and get back onto the original topic.

If you want to debate Palestine or Muslims and whatnot, make a new thread. If you want to call each other ignorant or walls and whatnot, make a new PM.

^^^ this is called a cease and desist post. After Donnie posted this a bunch of posts that came after it were deleted, one of which being mine. I made this thread shortly there after I got a PM telling me I could re-post it in PW ... then later I saw where Donnie posted this ...

If you made one of the many off topic posts I've deleted after my warning, feel free to take it to the Philosophy and Debate PW Thread ;)

http://www.offtopicz.net/25847-political-religious-philosophical-debate-kind-pw.html

So basically he did the exact same thing as I did .. except I just put it in the General section where it would be seen more readily.

Ever have your post deleted because it was OffTopic in an OT thread?
See the point of this bullet? In relation to Donnie's warning?
Ever really wanted to respond/post something after a warning was posted in a thread to "cease and desist" .. but know you aren't supposed to??
Again .. see the point? Yes, no? :unsure:
Don't wanna put your reply in the PW thread because you know it will just get lost in the daily shuffle?
Is this not self explanatory enough?

Personally, I think some of you need to stop looking so freaking hard into everything .. with the thought that everyone is out to cause trouble. It's really getting annoying.

Y'all have rules that are next to impossible to abide by (normal conversation doesn't have a "off topic" limit, or do you stop people in mid sentence and tell them to get back on topic?) .. and then when someone trys to find a way to try and abide by those rules .. you think they are "up to something".

Pretty ridiculous IMO

when i've removed any of your posts i've always given you a reason and apologised for doing so
That's exactly what I just said .. in the post you just quoted .. so I'm unclear as to why you quoted my post, unless it was just to re-reiterate my post again? :unsure:
