Free Expression and Moderation Reform

Charming to you, maybe. I'm not particularly charmed by someone calling me a troll (something I've never called anyone) or starting an post-reporting campaign against me, etc., but hey, you know, that's just me.

Seth, I'm confused - I thought you were against a committee of volunteer moderators.

Course I may be confused because this thread has gone on for so long.

I hereby nominate this thread for induction into the Hall of Fame of Threads that Would Not Die!

Before I go, I want to leave you with this portion of the definition of "troll" from the Wikipedia, a portion that rarely gets quoted:

"As a pejorative, the term 'troll' may also be a slander of opponents in heated debates, a tactic often used by trolls and non-trolls. Many times a person will post a sincere message that they are emotionally sensitive about and trolls know that the easiest way to upset them is to falsely claim that they are a troll."

If I had a nickel for every time I was called a troll in the forums I'd have, well, a lot of nickels. It's no big deal, my friend. If I really wanted to be mean to you, I would've called you a Prokofy!

I'm really pissed that Jeska didn't get her pink pony. It wasn't that much to ask for.

She got it. It's just that she made the mistake of letting Pathfinder ride it first.

~Ulrika~

Not good enough. It's not inworld. It wasn't too much to ask for.

Am I alone here? For all the crap Jeska is stuck having to read, does she not deserve one lousy pink pony?

You know, I really feel badly for you if you're this sensitive to the opinions of others in your day to day life. Part of me just wants to offer you a big cup of 'get the F over it' and the other part just really pities you. You do realise that most of the 'evil intent' you assign to others is non-existant, right? You do realise that you're not the only one who got stepped on, right? Or is it just that no one's feelings count but yours or Prok's?

Man.

You don't see the rest of the folks who were slandered and maligned bleating incessantly about it, do you? No. They are moving on... no offense, but perhaps you should consider it.

p.s.: Jeska deserves a winged pink pony so she can get way up over all this and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Naw, Marg... you arn't alone... me and Orhalla Zander stand by you too... Jeska did alot of work and deserves a completely usable pink pony! Just like Orhalla Zander deserves to know why he's banned from forums that he's never used! Everyone needs to try to be a bit friendlier... believe me... it passes on. XD

So true, Loco. So true. Pink pony for Jeska! Yes!

Especially, after all that work she did for her employer... that stinks...

Now, now, Loco. We don't want to go as far as to sound like we are criticizing Jeska's employer. I am sure they were just responding to the needs of the customers.

Nino's leting me type with his account... This is Orhalla Zander. What exactly happened anyways? Nice to see yah in the forums again Barg, I mean Marg.

You are the only one allowed to call me Barg. Shame on you. I should abuse report you for that. In fact that is just how all this started. Can you believe it?

Yeah, well what happened? I'm a little lost... Nino had to go to the store.

Oh man, long story.

I hope you are not trying to derail this thread. Can you stay focused on the pony or not?

PONY PONY PONY PONY! I think that's the focus you're looking for... lemme keep it up. PONY PONY PONY PONY!

That's better. I was thinking that you had a lot of nerve coming in here and commenting without reading all the 350 posts on this freedom of speech issue. But as long as you are with me on the pink pony issue, I think you are very loveable and I won't abuse report you.

Everyone needs to give a hobo some love some days.

I don't say love very loosely, but I love the hobo. Back to my ghetto days I guess.

LOL you never did go into detail on your ghetto days.

Well, we should all have some things kept to ourselves. It's not necessary to post every little thing that comes into our head now, is it? I mean, we can actually think
things without sharing them with everyone, right?

How many cars did you hot wire?

More than acts of mercy killing, like this thread.

Ouch... hides lighters from Marg... I think that's enough burning.
