Colibri’s one word post seemed to be calling into question my motive for posting this thread; I was refuting that my purpose here had anything at all to do with the fact that the insults were directed at me.
In fact, I never made any mention about who the posts were directed at; Crazyhorse and Colibri divulged that information (posts #2 and #5, respectively). In fact, until right now, I haven’t confirmed that, yes, they were directed at me (they were). As I said, who they were directed at is immaterial. I report posts when they seem to be breaking the rules, as we are advised to do.
The reason I talked about being insulted in ATMB was because it was an example that I was able to readily remember of an instance when a Mod appeared to break a rule but was not admonished for it, as even a perfunctory reading of the OP shows:
Why was it even necessary for me to bring that up? Because it leads to the very next sentence, where I state my intentions regarding this thread:
Snowboarder Bo, you’ve made it abundantly clear you don’t care that others are annoyed by your catchphrase. Given that, I have a hard time getting worked up about you getting called out for it, especially as the mods have explained that what was posted wasn’t against the rules.
Maybe nobody wants to go to bat for you on this issue because you’re wrong, and the catchphrase you’re defending is annoying? It’s worth asking yourself.
In a Pit thread titled Fuck Cacti, there’s a fair chance someone will be told to go fuck a cactus. If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the desert.
This may be the stupidest thread ever.
You know Bo you might want to consider this. You staunchly defended your right to continue using your catch-phrase even though your over-detailed reasoning was irrelevant. It is annoying as hell and it pisses people off. Soldier on if you will but it looks like you’re paying the piper. Sorry, I can’t get behind the OP either.
I have previously PMed Gfactor about the rule and he specifically told me “Screw you” and “Eff you” were permitted, along with other bowdlerized versions of the phrase.
Simple. When we sign up, they send a team to our house, strip search us, take away all of our guns and sharp pointed instruments. I don’t even have scissors left in the place. That, and the duct tape holding my hands to the keyboard insure I can’t even make a fist. It’s discouraging, I tells ya.
Stewie, mommy is a little busy moderating all the July2012 trolls and all the damned gun related threads people keep trying to hijack and insult each other in. Why don’t you throw yourself down the quarry until your father gets home.
I know I’ve butted heads with the mods on occasion and have often inadvertently done things to give them headaches, but damn I always feel for them when I see posts like the OP.
The pit is supposed to be a free-for-all and if you can’t take insults in the Pit then you shouldn’t be there.
