Does that make sense?

Completely, definitely read this and pay no attention to whatever mistake may have been made while writing the scentence.

Wait, people take us seriously?

Maybe I should just go hide in the OT Wasteland while all this SRS BSNS works itself out.

I'll return when there's a place again for light hearted spamming...

@Matty

Offcourse it does. I enjoy the whole Fate vs Shuma feud. And i like to think one of them wil have son someday and the other a daughter en those 2 will have a secret romance.

That or they end up as 2 grumpy old grandpa's sitting on a bench in the park yelling at eachother, pausing only to look at a hot girl.

Im off to bed whatwhat, night night.

Sure. It's like a train wreck or an auto wreck. You don't want to be "that" onlooker but you will. Oh you will.

Its okay Matty. I'm not here to make friends. I got plenty of friends in the real world.

Certain posters should grow a pair before reading what I have to say or ignore me. If I make your skin crawl and I don't like you than that makes me happy. If I do and I have nothing against you, oh well. I don't lose sleep over it.

Oddly Matty, I agree with some of the things you say in other threads. Hell, if I can sometimes agree with Shuma (shudder) I guess I can occasionally agree with you.

Bye now, maybe dream up some more of those letters I'm sending to channel four.

My son or daughter ever dates Shuma's son or daughter I'll disavow all knowledge of their existence.

@matty - No, I'm with you too. I often couldn't agree with Fatesy less, but I still find him quite charming and likeable.

So you would be willing to end up as 2 grumpy old grandpa's sitting on a bench in the park yelling at eachother, pausing only to look at a hot girl?

Aww, now I think I'm going to cry.

See Shuma, people like me.

Perhaps if you were less of a troll people would like you too.

Naw, I'd put one in his dome and then take said hot girl back to my pad and pop some Viagra.

Alright. Hopefully that is sarcasm because it is things like that that make the OT forum become dangerous endangered.

Who cares if it's serious?

It's funny and there's an Orkmoticon.

That is why I put emoticons.

I don't hate Shuma. I don't know him outside of dakka so maybe he's a swell guy IRL (although I doubt we could agree on anything long enough for me to find that out).

I wouldn't kill Shuma just to kill him. He'd have to do something like break into my house or try to mug me for my iPod and what little money I have in my wallet.

I like shumagorath. I mean. I LIKE him. He's sorta dreamy you know? Sometimes I think I'll touch him, just softly. But I'm always too scared. Someday I'll have the courage.
Until then, I'll just watch.

Careful boss. He might start to think he has friends.

Not to mention that is just way TMI.

IRL you would both yust dice off

See methinks the lady doth protest too much fateweaver you old scoundrel.
I've got me some competition, eh?
*nudge nudge wink wink*

Hell no!

If I was gay Shuma would be the last guy on Earth I'd touch or stroke or whatever.

Besides, I'm not into trolls.

mattyrm wrote:Seriously, isnt ANY form of censorship a bad thing?

To return to the actual topic for a moment, this is nothing to do with censorship.

Think of it this way:
You're visiting someone's house. They know that you and one of their other guests have wildly opposing views on a given topic, and that both of you tend to flame on whenever that topic arises. So they ask you to not discuss that topic.

That's not censorship. It's simply keeping the peace, by removing something that has been shown comprehensively to cause trouble every time it rears its head.

Sure, they could just kick you out when you start making trouble... but then you've been kicked out, and the party is that much smaller, and has one less person (who, on just about any other topic is much more restrained) contributing to the conversation. Nobody wins.

As the host I'd win because that means more beer for me.

But yeah, you do raise a point. Easier to control the situation than to deal with it after the fact.

That's a good analogy. Although as we have already found out from this thread that people have said they would leave if they can't talk about politics and religion. So just as you had kicked said person out, on the other hand someone would just leave.

That's right! No one can escape the adorable fury that is Doxies!

@insaniak.
So basically it boils down to either more work for the mods and allowing it. Or banning it. Seeing the level of discussion in p/r topics i would understand banning it. Tough enforcing the rules a bit more might also make people behave a bit more

@Frazzled. I am surprised TBone lets you call him that

Good grief Charlie Brown
Sorry Manchu 5 pages appeared since my last visit here so will just say good luck
Life's far too short- and mine by dint of age is shorter than most on Dakka - to wade through it all

It's cause they think it's cute when their pets(us) say it. Anyone else, though...

Ah ok. Thanks for clearing that up. Well then their is only one thing i can do then. Time fortify my house

This. Is exactly why I love OT. (That and the Daschunds of Death)

AHH! You stole my house guest analogy!

Let me think of another one...

Building on whatwhat commented about people leaving...well that is their choice. Just like it is the forums' choice whether it will allow the kind of back and forth bickering that started the consideration that r/p be left out and/or the OT forum being closed down.

Luckily the ot forum is not under threat of beeing closed down. Then a lot less people would drop by. Then it would not be a couple of people leaving it would be like more then half of the people leaving to party next door.
