Wow that's totally harsh.

I don't think you truly understand Frazz.

GG

I am waiting to see how long it takes befoer this topic, which is about why the Off Topic forum shouldn't be censored, gets Locked!

In related news, The New College Dictionary has changed the defintion of redundant to read, "See Redundant".

You sure it shouldn't be deleted?

Or is this an example of the extra leeway in the subforums?

Yep. if this were the mod forum, that post would get you a suspension. most anything Shuma/fatweaver/myself says would get him banned.

Awesome, and thanks for clarifying!

This statement comforts Frazzled greatly.

Waitaminute....

There is a "report" button?

Oh yeah i remember, i have never used it because im not a pansy.

Seriously, isnt ANY form of censorship a bad thing? If you recall I was even cool with the friendly neighbourhood Muslims marching through Woolton Basset.

Ill never shut anyone up, ill just reserve the right to argue with them. Thats the way it should be.

Americans especially love to crow on about "Freedom", if it wasnt for people loving to crow on equally about being "offended" then the world would be a better place.

If someone ticks you off, tell the fether. If they offend you, switch the radio/internet/TV off. I dont see why the majority should pay for it because a few people get all teary eyed from a bit of harsh language.

The minority make all the rules in 2010 cos they whinge the loudest. Why would dakka by any different?

Yeah. I stopped hitting report a long time ago.

Now I just sling back. The best way to beat trolls is to use fire, not let someone else fight your fight for you.

Seriously, grown some thicker skin people.

I find I regularly disagree with Frazzled (often VEHEMENTLY!) but I would hardly accuse him of "trolling..."

Being a stinky old fart who hikes his pants up under his arm-pits and yells at kids to get off his *&%$*^# lawn? Sure! But trolling? NEV-AH!!!

I suppose crying "TROLL!!!!" "ur flaming!" etc. doesn't class as whinging like a pansy in 2010?

Er..thanks...I er..think?

No, the best way to beat trolls is to ignore them.

But accourding to fraz the whole world is his lawn....

If I see a troll flaming I dump gas on it (or some other volatile, flammable liquid).

Wow do you know the price of gas?? Well you do put some effort and money into it

Well that's certainly TBone's view.
We are Wienies! We are Legion!

Wait...you mean that you don't find the whole OT forum as well as Fraz hilarious

I think he's dead, doctor....

EDIT-Damn you guys post fast.

You probably should, he trolls constantly and is one of the primary mods of a forum that is now going to be censured specifically because of it's high volumes of trolls. The fish rots from the head.

You did your duty to make it so.

Missed the point then whatwhat? Read what i wrote before you start slinging again. Ive never clicked the "report" button once, i just tell you what i think of you. Thats the point.

Now, how many times have you bothered the mods?

Whatwhat you arent a troll.

Trolling is one thing, but needlessly insulting people and then PMing the mods when they retort is lower than a snakes belly. Your like some sort of... stealth-troll.

See. Easy.

Ive not reported you to a mod, im merely retorting, like your supposed to do.

How many angry letters have you written to Channel 4?

Pot meet kettle.

I think this particular thread is going to die a horrible, ugly death.

Apparently if you don't agree with certain posters you are a troll, if you agree with certain others you are a troll.

It is why the P/R threads will NEVER stay civil. Nobody, ladies excluded, have a large enough pair to suck up criticism, reply to said criticism and then sit back and enjoy life.

Look at the Obama thread as an example. Saying the wrong thing about our Pres gets the mods on your ass because certain posters who defend him get an itchy trigger finger and hit "report" whenever their Savior gets attacked.

This thread should die and from what I'm seeing in this thread my stance changes. The whole OT should die.

When do I PM the mods?

I think we've established your belief that I start whinging everytime someone retorts comes down to your inability to read what I'm actually saying more than anything else.

@Shuma.

In the end it is out of the users hands. Either Yakface/Mods decide that discussion about p/r are important enough to warrant extra mod attention. Or they think it is just not worth it and ban them alltogether. It is not something that we can do about. Besides has everything not been said about the subject in the first couple of pages of this thread?

Isn't this the good thing about OT? Cause IMO it is... This is one of the few places that can put a big fat smile on my face after a crappy day.

Fateweaver wrote:LOL @ a thread discussing why P/R is being considered dropped due to flaming, itself being drug into a flame war.

Only on the ENTIRE INTERNET could it happen.

FYP.

Ding ding ding! Winner! I don't know about the rest of you, but I love OT because it makes me

I cant help feel like some of you guys are poisoning the well cos you know some of us will leave out of principal if they start banning topics?

Shall i make a facebook group we can argue in? Ill call it something non threatning and neutral....

I laugh at all the attacks on me.

When I get tired of it I go and hang out with like minded individuals. We clean our guns, declare the current administration to be a load of gak, drink our beers and discuss paintball strategies and 40k.

More people should stop taking what's said on Dakka less seriously. Leads to lower chances for stroke and high blood pressure that way.

I dont think i like almost anything Fateweaver says, but i still like to read it..

Does that make sense?
