Apparently people are having a reading comprehension problem here, which is not unusual when trying to discuss something by typing it out. No one said it would be a place to insult each other--a place to whine, maybe (for some). And if you REALLY think its different in real life, I'd like to know what planet you are living on because whining is going on constantly in real life--kids whining, liberals whining, politicians whining, spouse's whining, babies whining (see--at least dead babies don't whine!):24: sorry Wedzy--somebody STOP ME!!!! ;)). The whining just goes on and on in real life--I want to slap most of them.
thats ok mulder...as i said...this thread would only be based for me losing respect for others, which isnt necessary, but congrats.....your doing it

That's total bullshit. I could care less how they run the forum--it was a simply an idea. Idea are the mother of invention--90% of the forums in this place came from people's ideas. The quickest way to kill anything, whether its a business, or forum, or a relationship or anything is to simply stop injecting anything new into it.

Why do you have such a bug up your ass about a suggestion? If you don't like it, simply say you don't like it. The irony in all this is that forum would have the most number of people in it.

Well it started out like just a suggetion and then it seemed to turn into something else by certain people. It sounded like they just wanted to have a moan about the way the debate section is moderated.

I thought necessity was the mother of invention?
Ergo, anything we need is, or shall be, invented in due course.

You must have missed the first set of posts he made. He came in here telling us how the crystal skull people from indiana jones built the moon then he talked about how evil jewish people are. When he was called on it his typical response was "you're an idiot", "you're a dullard" "you're a moron" blah blah. He was banned again and his posts deleted. Now he is a little more careful. lol


ohhh ok ok. i never saw those so my apologies. bad example on my part then huh haha

Then do that somewhere else then if you dont like the way it's handled here. This just seems like another pointless, whine and bitch about the way the forum is run, to me, thread

no. you're wrong. i love the way this forum is run. i think it's very fun and lots of good people. it's just a way to improve it, IMO. if it doesn't work, get rid of it. don't accuse me of bitching and whining when that's FAR from what i'm doing. I'm trying to contribute to this forum and i know there are lots of people who feel censored so give them a place where they don't feel that way.

it's a discussion about whether or not to have a section designated for this. so we're DISCUSSING. not bitching and whining.

Yeah--I don't know where but somewhere along the line it change from a "discussion" of the merits to a "your whining and moaning" thread. Hell, if you want to see some real whining and moaning, then follow Mulder over to Numnum's place!!! :eek

Good lord...how many pages of the same thing can be said??? LOL!!! Seriously...it's like a broken record in this thread. (By the way, that's just an opinion/view and not an official mod "tone it down" message or anything, so don't get all antsy on me).

There are people that I guarantee you are offended by the use of the word "cunt" that Peter is so fond of--does that mean we shoudln't allow him to use it?

Heh heh heh...I know most women are offended by that word, but I'd much rather hear "cunt" than "cooter." *shrugs*

***keeping my point of views to myself from now on***

NO!!! That's SO not what we want around here.

damn straight ..my brother from another mother<<<<see check me out..:24::24:

Wedz, you are tripping me out w/ the jive-talking. LOL

and maybe it could be mod-free unless they are specifically called in to deal with an issue. that would help wedz worry too - if she doesn't want to be subjected to it, she shouldn't have to be. this way, a mod wouldn't have to constantly be in there unless something was directly brought to their attention. that could be possible, whether it works or not is a different story tho.

My viewpoint on this, though, is that it could easily turn into a "gang up on _______________" section where members gang up on one particular person and, eventually, run them off the forum. It wouldn't even have to be intentional...sometimes that pack mentality just takes over. *shrugs*

Anywho...back to your debate, folks. Me, personally, I dislike debate...which is why I stay away from that forum.

racism exists.
this is my point. just because we don't allow something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. race is a very touchy subject but i think it's good to BE ABLE to discuss it openly, whether one chooses to or not. like sex-ed. either your kid can go bang and get aids, or you talk to them and they atleast have a chance of not getting aids haha. the rest is up to them.

that's what the section would be, a place for people to say their peace and what others take from it is up to them.


thats totally not the point...

it's one thing to "talk" about things but another to make fun of it...

to use it as a disadvantage like race to me is showing someone as ignorant...

and you can quote me on it....


I hate people who use racist jokes...

Jews..Mexicans...Blacks....anything....


Now back to silent mode....where my opinions only matter to me..

Eh, I'm not too sure either way of this idea. I mean seems ok, but I'm just not sure we would need a whole section just for this.

i'm pretty sure all i've said is talk. i never said let's make a place to gang up on people.
i know that's what the mods are worried about, and rightfully so - they see it every day. but i'm saying why not try it? if it doesn't work, you can all say you told me so. it'll be worth it just for that, eh eh?? haha

Ok, last input...i have said my opinion, it hasnt changed, in fact mulder and numnum have actually strengthed it....You both knew what i was offended by, yet you both continued to mock me with it...that isnt debate, that isnt respect, that isnt progress. Thats spite, edit: but you guys have fun without me;)
