Moderators:

We enjoy almost absolute freedom of speach here, although, being a private company, you under no obligation to assure it.
At the same time, a semblance to standard English is maintainded here, no outright computerese or web-talk is allowed and even small “i” for the first person sing. I is a rarity. You absolutely do not tolerate personal insultes. But you do not mind naughty language. So, “fuck you” will be deleted, but “fucking pizzas” is OK?
Not is it that I never say it or that I want to appear hollier that god. But curious I may be. What’s the rational?

IRONY ALERT!!

Oh come on Smeghead, didn’t you get a kick out of:

Then followed by:

I find it entertaining myself. But then again with little sleep I find a lot entertaining. Or if I were the OP, intertaining.

< grin >

They tolerate personal insults, just not gratuitious ones. This is all done in an effort to keep the place as enjoyable as possible for us, without getting themselves in unnecessary legal disputes.

You don’t get a kick out of the idea of sentient copulating pizzas?

:smiley:

Pizzas are for eating, not for intercourse.

Pizzas are for eating, not for intercourse.

Pizzas are for eating, not for intercourse.

Say it with me, class…

Pizzas are for eating, not for intercourse.

And you thought that scene in American Pie was bad enough, try throwing in hot grease and pepperoni.

Gee Spoofe, it sounds as if you speak from experience.

Hmmmm…

Did I miss a post in the TMI thread?

…d&r…

Hey, I said that there was some stuff that I was holding back because it was too depressing… grease burns and crispy-crust-lacerations are a helluva lot worse than toothpaste. :smiley:

Oh ick.

I mean that’s just wrong on so many levels.

But on the other hand, it does bring new meaning to the term “stuffed crust pizza”. :slight_smile:

I see someone’s trying to get that job speechwriting for George W. Bush :slight_smile:

This is a custom of the posters here, not an official position of the Moderators in Great Debates (which is what I assume you are referring to, given your comments in the eugenics thread.) I don’t officially warn people for lousy grammar, jargon or typos.

Yes, exactly. If obscenities really get out of hand, like someone using “fuck” eight times in a post or really graphically obscene descriptions, we might say something. We do crack down on direct personal insults in GD, in an attempt to encourage civil discussion and prevent debates from degenerating into flamefests. But the occasional “fuck” or “shit” doesn’t offend the vast majorities of posters or harm a debate, IMHO, and is not considered a direct insult of any particular person. If bad language bothers you, you can ask the person using it to stop, but they are under no obligation to do so.

Thanks just the same . . . :confused:

Okay, that’s something I actually have not done. FTR.

Tx, Gaudere. Sorry for the typos. I do not expect Queen’s English here (after all, there are foreigners, etc.), I just do not like people calling each other names, like “you, liberal idiot”, or “you, fucking conservative”. I do not like tags in general, bur saying “stupid policies” is acceptable. After all, if I do not like the language, or anything else here, I don’t have to see it.
I think, and you it know from my other posts, that anonymity is no exuse for personal insults, i.e., if one’d afraid to say an insult directly to somebody because of fear to be punched in the nose, one shouldn’t do it here because s/he is anonynous and unreacheable.
“Fucking pizzas” was plagiarized from the movie “Fame”. It just demostrates that actual objects of a discussion (“pizzas”, in this case) have nothing to do with the emotional state of the talker. In other words, s/he might be more frustrated with self than with innocent pizzas.

There are ** no ** innocent pizzas !

All pizzas are evil sluts. They sit there in their cute little cardboard homes dressed in seductive meats, covered with onions , peppers , olives and sauce. And dripping with hot cheese, tempting anyone in sight. They don’t care who you are, male or female, single or married , they don’t even care if you are human or not ! They try to seduce all who come into reach with their aroma and ever so delicous taste.

They are evil I tell you ! ** EVIL **

Ayesha:

I for one resent your blatant and bigoted mischaracterization of Pizzas. Maybe out where you are all pizzas are cheese dripping sluts, but that’s just becuase Your community is a bunch of algore loving liberals. Out here in Bush country our pizzas are every bit as hot as yours. They’re plain, with one or two toppings, and they never have of that bodacious sliding cheese. Their crusts are firm and crunchy and saucy enough to catch any red-blooded American’s eyes.

You can keep your oily runny cheese dripping slutty deomcrat pizzas to yourself. OK?!

Check with Jack Dean Tyler. Maybe that activity was only dangerous if you were circumcised.

Well I invented Pizza!

I started it and I like the way it goes. Fuck the language, embrace the Pizzas! Fucking pizzas, crusty pizzas, dripping pizzas, seductive pizzas, republican pizzas, any pizzas.
Let’s form a “pizzaresque” political party here and by 2004 we will have a presidential candidate. On Palm Beach county ballots, his name will be next to a small image of pizza pie which got to be punched bt voters. Nobody will “confuse”. If he still loses the election, as Algore did, he will claim “irregularutry”. Free Pepto-Bismol will be served!

Texas = Gore ??? Never !
