No it isn’t. That’s the whole reason that stuff is cordoned off into the BBQ Pit, **so you can avoid it if you don’t want to see it. **
And you damn well know it.
Well, you could say the exact thing about threads you don’t want to see. They are usually clearly labeled.
Do you think what you just typed even makes sense? It really doesn’t, it sounds like an 8 year old’s argument.
If you find the soup to be too wet for your taste, order something else-don’t bitch about it to the waiter.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
Right… so replace forum with thread and the whole argument collapses? That’s completely dishonest. But you already know that.
So you’re saying he’s a Mallard?
That’s funny, you’re kind of humorous. Though only in just stepped on a rake way.
An interesting observation about self repeating fractal patterns: this thread is complaining that whiny assholes derailing threads with their misogyny (either directly or because they complain endlessly about how their misogyny isn’t allowed anymore) are killing the Dope. The thread is derailed by whiny assholes complaining about how they aren’t allowed to be misogynistic…
And yet, a certain recent suspension gives me hope.
I’m not sure what you’re saying here. Could you Fillmore of the details in for me?
FWIW, I’ve read your user name as “octoputz” for years.
Forget hope. Even the people who complain about the trolls, and who should therefore know better, still engage with them, even in this very thread. The Dope is fucked.
I find the mouse wheel is the best way to deal with posts I don’t like.
At this point, what can we do other than report things we see as problematic and refuse to engage with trolls to the greatest extent possible? This thread is an excellent example of how easy it is to get sucked into their “me, me, me” schtick.
and when a thread about something innocuous gets dragged into the weeds?
Then boot the person out of the thread for threadshitting. A clearly labeled so and so is a hot model in the latest Robin Thicke video should boot out the complaining prudes. A clearly labeled thread on something unrelated to tits and ass should boot out all the boorish and immature dudebros who derail it with inappropriate comments or jokes. I also don’t care if one type of thread is banned as long as that criteria for banning is gender, age, ideology, religion neutral.
I disagree with him on many religious and political things. But he’s a true Doper in my book. I fondly recall a thread where Bricker and a bunch of others debated the Mutant Registration Act. He’s not perfect, but (exept for Cecil Adams) who is?
Odd. I’ve read his user name as dishonest sack of crap for years.
Simple Monty. Who let you out of the home? You have the same guards as Epstein?
I never thought of running his name through the “Slobbovian-to-English” translator. :smack:
