Forum Moderation Idea

Correct. I find it highly amusing that its offense seems directly related to who's said it, and that someone can not remember one person having said it, when they in fact said it over 10 times in the opening post of the very thread she's responding to.

*backs away slowly*

I find it incredibly illuminating that Stoneself can say the same thing I am saying, but you and Siggy (along with the others in the howelers gallery), have got to have a go at ME over it.

Why don't you take on Stoneself?

Yes, it is true - people say it so much and so often, and I don't keep a little running notecard of who said it when.

It is also true that I don't go into huge fits of being offended every time some children use that term, anymore than I go into huge fits of being offended every time my own children use it.

But when siggy tells me as part of a long abusive post to GO HANG FROM THE CROSS, YOU TARD

. . . yes, well, no kidding, I am going to remember that.

And it is also true that we would all be better off if we wouldn't engage in insensitive comments like that, and so would these forums.

coco

First off - thanks for the selective reading on that Coco - you proved her point.

I DID disagree with Stoneself - and said so - on no greater nor less terms than I told you (remember - I said your post was OVER THE TOP)..

Now if you're going to quote me - at least to me the courtesy of actually quoting me - there was no 'long line of abusive posts' , there was one that you could say was marginally forcefull - there was no 'howling crowd' there was me, replying to the post where you did your usual 'omg I'm the victim' by totally ignoring 3/4 of what was written and blowing it out of proportion.

Which is funny - not only do you prove her point - you also make yourself a hypocrite over being 'offended' when I had a quote of yours in my sig line.

At least *I* had the courtesy of using your actual words.

You're not a tard Coco, that would be an insult to people like Leck and myself, your a matyr desperately in need of a cause.

PS - I said to get down off your cross - for a 'writer' you have some really piss poor comprehension skills.

Yes, thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry. Could you be so kind as to point out where Stoneself calls it hatespeech when one person says it, but then is hypocritical enough to say it isn't even noticable when someone else says it 12 times in one post? I must have missed where he gave 1 person a pass for it and called others out on it, and that is what I was addressing. I even quoted it for you if you bother to read the post.

i know you all are in the middle of a heated debate, but i need to splash some cold water on this thing.. it's been noted that there was confusion as to where the moderators were.. well, here i am.. again.

i was trying to "rerail" this thread, but it seems that the black-hole of drahma has very strong fu..

i am closing this thread due to personal attacks which, as you all know, are against the ToS.

it will be submitted for Linden Review and a final decision will be forthcoming. as is noted in the new tweaks list, upon said decision, it will be posted to this thread for all to read.

by the power of LindenSkull.. i close thee!!
... for now at least

After consideration, I've found that this thread has indeed spiraled into personal attacking conversations and off-topic discussions. There is another thread already started about the original topic, so I'm going to close this and recommend everyone take their further on-topic conversation there. Thanks!
