Coldfire -- Not a warning my eye.

[sub]I’ve got a…little list…

and they never willllll…be missed![/sub]

Check it twice.

See? Friendly banter. Isn’t it nice? None of these unpleasantries. It shall stay this way, no?

Dunt think I’ll have to, to tell you the truth.

Oh, I confused you with UncleBeer. That’s not a bannable offense, is it? :smiley:

I Like Ike

I’m gonna go out on a limb here in the PIT (for me at least)–I agree with SAD’s points, but certainly not the way he presented them, nor with the accusations of “crying victim.” He could just as easily have said “Look, you may be kidding, but here are some facts that back up the concepts that prove your rant to be a little emotional rather than rational.”

I say “may” because I don’t think he realized the thread was using humour. I say “emotional rather than rational” because to me, the rant was purely blowing off steam and not immediately admitting other possibilities–which is not to say that the OPer did not consider the other possibilities–she may have just been blowing off steam, which she is perfectly allowed to do.

Holy shit! Look at all the mods!

This thread is getting fun!

Especially since I’ve ben mixing NoDoze and Nyquil tonight. Everything is just so

al,

man…

I protest, my parents were certainly married at the time of my conception.

NoDozeBoy?
I hope you are kidding

Ok, that really should be someone’s new sig. Since I’m not a guy, and therefore without said nut sack, it can’t be me, but maybe Mr. B you could start auctioning it off on eBay to the highest bidder. Dopers invited only.

No, but you will.

Actually, I thought that was a pretty effective cite. We draw inferences like that from fiction all the time. For instance, for people familiar with the book The Turner Diaries, Tim MacVeigh’s fondness for that book speaks volumes. Fiction is a representation of people’s hopes, dreams and fears. That feminists write longingly about a world without males says as much about them as that racists write about white people rising up to overthrow the international jewish conspiracy ™.

Blah blah blah, misogyny, blah blah blah. Great fucking argument. Name-calling at its finest. You can throw around misogyny at people who disagree even slightly with your viewpoint, and it looks just like those who toss around accusations of anti-Semitism at anyone who fails to lick Ariel Sharon’s boots. Are you the feminist version of december?

Will you just shut the fuck up already, Guin? Your patronizing bullshit two-line responses are getting old. At least you didn’t just respond with a field of rolleyes emoticons. I congratulate you on learning to use language, now lets see what you can do with it.

Wow, DB. Just… well, enjoy your stay, numbnuts.

Absolutely nothing. Hence the “he should return every cent of his pay” commentary; it was sarcastic.

It’s not mostly left-wing, I don’t think it’s mostly anything. We have loud-mouthed folks of every stripe and color here. Just don’t be a jerk.

In case, it’s unclear, that post was directed at DavidByron.

Dude, why don’t you head on over the ATMB and find out how this message board is actually run before opening your mouth?

Welcome to the SDMB!

This thread is so cool! I vote yes to this thread! Satisfying Andy Ranged, I always say.

We do have those on both sides who go way over the edge from time to time, but it does often seem that the right-wingers who do so are Pitted maliciously and with greater frequency.

The “center” of the board, if we took everyone’s political spectrum and found the median individual, is to the left. Thus, you have to go pretty far off the liberal deep end to get pitted, and usually have to be doing something else pretty bad (like plagiarism) to get the full force of the board’s ire. You could probably dance around the board celebrating Communism and never get pitted, but posters are routinely pitted on the whiff of a hint that they don’t fall 100% in line with the gay rights agenda, for instance.

On certain issues, at least, there is a leftist slant to this board, that can’t be denied.

Maybe it’s just me, but I got the distinct impression Guinastasia forgot that she’d posted an hour and a half earlier to that same thread. Look at the times.

The messages are pretty much the same, ‘You Suck’ (Then again, they almost always amount to that) but the timing of it all struck me as… well, odd.

Think she forgot she’d already said her two cen… two sentences?

Nah. She just wanted to be sure we all knew she thought he sucked.

Well, actually, no. I recall at least a couple of posters DID get pitted and eventually banned for doing just that. Their only reason for posting seemed to be furthering an agenda, which is against the rules.
