GO have some sex Goblin instead of posting over and over and over again on this sight.
there was no need for that... You may not like him, but that's not necessary.
Yeah everyone posts all types of stuff and they don't get attacked.
Yeah leave him alone. And i only came in here cuz someone told me what this was lol. I've no interest in dirty topics. But since something like this was said to me, (stop posting so much), I can relate. Everyone can post as much as they want. Caitlin
I agree that was uncalled for.
Maybe if you would all get lives, instead of using this sight to make up for the fact you have no fucking social skills you wouldn't have to complain about what i post which is obviously is a valid point.
ok people, starting a flame war is not what we're here for is it? all kinds of ppl post to this website, and it is well known that some ppl, be they housebound, though i hate that term, though its a good one for this instance, their only window on the world is the internet. I will not pick sides, excvept to pose this question, what is a life? who is to judge who's got a life, so to speak and who hasn't got one? for some ppl, the internet and chat forhams like this is all they have, and flame wars are counter productive.
come on blindguy this is a community and there are all sorts of people on here who have all sorts of different views. now if some guy who you didn't really know, but didn't like anyway said something in a bar or talked too much in a bar you wouldn't go and tell him to shut up would ya, well the same goes on here. if you don't like what someone is saying, then don't read it. simple as that.
Actually I would tell them to shut up, so your wrong.
BlindGuy .. go get a life buddy, the fact you post complaining about how much someone else posts tells us all you need to know, go have lots of sex and drugs and rock n roll and enjoy it man.
peace
-B
lol blindguy and you have the audacity to say people on here have no social skills ... don't think you're in a position to talk do we now peeps. Get a life!
certainly not... if you could even boast that you've ever written with an informed oppinion, I might give you the time of day, but seeing as you never have and you have no ability to have a normal decent conversation, i think we need to be thinking about who needs the life.
yet again you gave the depraved bampot what he's always wanted attention! When will you learn to ignore this infantile crap.. however I am touched by the support peeps cheers.
Caitlin...sex isn't a 'dirty' topic
hey now some of us who use the net frequently also have jobs and lives outside the net.
I am certainly anything but housebound pal even in the recent storms I was out as the dogs doth need to be walked and the shopping will not buy itself!.
In my opinion if you have some thing to say, say it. Some have more to say than others, and if you don't agree or like the person's post on a normal basis just don't read it. Very simple no?
Hmm maybe not for some lol but really if everyone worried about how much they posted what would there be to read? Anyhow enjoy life and here or there.
Hehe Goblin, at least take the guy's advice sex seems plessureable and since you, as far as I know, have a girl friend (unlike the original post of this topic) at least get the one sensible suggestion from him done .. hehe but don't inform us of it though
cheers
-B
lol.Yes I do and she's laughing at this, we did not so long ago why do you think I'm so tired.
Lol you guys are funny B and G .. keep it up! hahaha. that's just it; either ignore or make a joke out of it! that way BG is not getting what he wants. maybe he just needs a good laugh! :)
i think the topic title is quite amuzing. I mean, goblin might want to have sex, and if he does, good luck to him.
Oh dear me I can't stop laughing at this nonsense! Informed opinions? Blindguy, your informed opinions normally consist of gratuitous uses of the F word, completely sweeping generalisations and posts that have at best a very loose association with the topic you are normally expressing an opinion on. I know this is a terribly elitist question to ask in the eyes of some, but Blindguy, where the bloody hell were you educated? Were you in fact educated at all? Do you have any previous convictions or are you frequently in trouble with the police? I'm sorry for being so inquisitive, but I'm just casting around for reasons why you might be so inarticulate, or why you have the social graces of people I would normally associate with the criminal classes. I assure you, blindguy, that if you have not had the advantages of the rest of us and if you do in fact have a string of previous convictions which explains why you are unable to be pleasant, then we should all recognise this and try and help you in whatever way we can, even if that means reporting you to your current probation officer if you have one, or finding one for you if you don't. If, however, your reason for this completely ridiculous topic, and indeed your reason for conducting yourself with the ill-grace that you generally display to us all, is not based on some psychological disturbance brought on by lack of education or a history of persistent criminality - if, in short, you have had all the advantages a western man could wish for yet sitll choose to conduct yourself in the manner of an ill-educated oaf who will never be of any benefit to society, then the criticisms of you expressed in this topic are right and proper and with absolute justification. I'll go further: not once, I repeat, not once have I read one of your posts without smiling to myself and thanking my lucky stars that the content of my posts does not equal the depravity, unpleasantness, lack of inteligence and lack of focus that yours always demonstrate. Of course there is often a lot of disagreement between Goblin and myself, and that will continue I have no doubt, but he has the right to post to these boards if he wishes to do so. Now, to recap: blindguy, if you are a member of the criminal class, or have suffered from a lack of education etc. then perhaps your ignorance and idiocy can e forgiven. However, I sense that you are not, and that you do at least have a notion of what is a right way to act, and what is not. If I be right in opting for the latter option, then my advice to you is that you have got an awful lot to learn if you want to get on in the world, so stop telling others to get a life, and get one yourself.
PS: anyone who knows me will know that despite my posting to these boards more frequently than most - a fact which Blindguy will doubtless use to incriminate me if and when he is brave enough to embark on an exerrcise of damage limitation after my last post - I do have a considerably full, rich and exciting life.
Oh, it's just Blindguy being his typical self. I doubt he's going to tell anything about his background, though. It's hte internet and we all can choose what we tell and waht we won't tell. He's just trying to push people's buttons and succeeding from what I see here.
Not pushing my buttons to use your phrase at all, Labyrynth. I'm just casting around for reasons that might explain his behaviour. There can be no denying that, notwithstanding his claims to post informed opinions and his pouring indignation on the posts of others, the evidence from his posts does not indicate an intelligent person; it indicates either a youth offender, or to repeat what I said earlier, an ill-educated oaf who will never be of any use to society in any beneficial capacity.
Dobbin I do quite often and that's the problem ..grin..Its the Italian blood..at least thats my excuse.
..might BG be jealous of anyone who is remotely popular,in the past the beastie boy has admitted to pouring alcohol down his "friends" throats, so the poor devils are able to endure his derisible company...call me Mr picky but eligible is not a word I'd use when describing him to any poor desperate female.
lol u guys are great!
Blackadder......
lol lawlord, love it!
Twas only a matter of time until he slipped up. BG rather stupidly posted *everyone loves you when your drunk at least you think so* hmm I think he has inadvertantly left us a clue I put it to you that your man has a problem with booze and uses it as a crutch for his terribly low self esteem and poor self image..well at least now he has a legitimite excuse for acting like an extra from bevis & butthead
I think u should be scared goblin, or perhaps turned on. I think what BG wants is for you to have sex with him. The least he could do was spell the topic title correctly, but he is even incapable of doing this. But heBG is correct in saying that he has a life. His life seems to consist of telling others that they don't have a life, or at least accusing them of not doing so. But u see, psychologists call this projection. Projection is the act of taking one's insecure feelings or inhibitions about things and turning that around on everyone else. In otherwords, BG seems to be insecure about the fact that he doesn't have a life outside of the internet. Whether this is good or bad depends on how u look at things, but he apparently sees this as a bad thing and feels he must accuse others of not having a life to make himself feel better. Anyway, enough of this nonsense!
I wouldn't go as far as that i.e. I would not endorse it as a legitimate excuse. However, I would say that there is some deeprooted discontent within the chap, whether brought on by alcohol, criminality, other substance abuse, a victim complex, lack of education and social advantage, or two or more of any of these features put together. He hasn't yet been on here to answer the charges laid against him as it were, and doubtless he will claim that this is because he is too busy having a life. However, i beg to offer up another theory viz. that he simply does not know what to say.
thats a possibilty and I agree that he's screwed up we have these eejits here they are referred to as NEDS Non Educated Delinquents.
I love all of your theories and I think they could all be correct in unison. the thing I love about these posts, are, at least you can all analyze and discover. so, KC maybe this might go well on your resume, the fact that this is all such a wonderful, educational Psychologists' experience first hand!
Well the theories can't all run together in unison, because some are fundamentally different from others. But KC you might be able to do a PHD thesis into Blindguy's personality. i wonder if the reason he hasn't replied is because the authorities have caught up with him and returned him to prison, or punishment in the community, or detention and training.
Hi all,
I do not post much, but I do read a lot of them. This isn't the first time I've seen someone being criticized for either a question, or a comment. This is supposed to be a community of "adults", or at least people who are supposed to act like adults, so let's act like them! Everyone has the right to their own oppinions, be they right or wrong. In saying that, who can really say if someone's oppinion is right or wrong? Only the person who feels as they do can say that. Remember too, we have young ones on here. I've seen several teens on here, and what kind of example is this setting for them?
Siren
LL, ture. apologies. guess I just got a bit sick of reading them all so I just skimmed through them, and came to that tired conclusion. I guess, all of them could be possible with some multi-facets to them.
This entire site is a somewhat amusing and somewhat tragic example of what happens when you toss resources out there and, for the most part, let people do what they will with them.
i believe there should be more controls on what ppl can say, within reason of course. flame wars should be banned, as is on email lists, as they are unproductive and can become extremely personal. the internet is a great resource, and there are many ppl that use it. this, to my mind is a great thing. though I believe there should be some kind of house rules to prevent flame wars and personal attacks. We can have free speach along with some basic ground rules I think.
I am educated, I have no record, did it ever just occur to you that I'm just an asshole?
I disagree with Dobbin and Siren. First of all, you can be an adult and act like an adult and still be an asshole. Many adults are assholes. Make of that what you will. As for Dobbin's comments, I said earlier in this thread that I've been on many e-mail lists where people atempted to ban flame wars, prohibit swearing and controversy of all kinds. These were very boring places to be. Safe, perhaps somewhat free from emotional upset, but dull as anything. One gets tired of talking about safe things like what one's current weather is and what weather you wish was sent there, your favorite book or candy or music, and all that sort of thing. Do you really want that?If an occasional flame war gets you upset, you may have to restrict your reading and posting to the Safe Haven board. The other option would be to understand that this is the internet and people's words only upset you because you allow them to. Sure, I'd rather people get along than not, but sometimes they won't and I accept this. Be lucky it's just a few people that dare say something, even if they might be just trying to yank your chain a bit.
I have to agree with Siren. The zone is not a place where I'd recommend a younger person to spend time. There is too much criticism and language. Yes they are exposed to it at school, and other places, but it doesn't mean that I would endorse it. Seeing 10 and 13-year olds being exposed to the language and bigotry on the boards and public quicknotes, and I'm not speaking of all zoners by any means, smile, has me shaking my head. At least we have the safe haven boards, but what's to stop someone from cussing and flaming there? Just my thoughts. Kwork
Lol this topic is now officially insane. Not that it wasn't to begin with but whatever. Lol! I do admit that it was kind of foolish of me to get all defensive about the whole topic thing all over again, because this is totally just a waste of time. But hey ho. Tha'ts what I'm like. WHen someone's in trouble, I've just got to step in lol. Ask my friends. Caitlin
The community leaders (especially one in particular) would notice such messages on the Safe Haven board and, because the poster would have violated the very easy-to-understand rules of that board, we'd definitely take action.
We could put controls in place to try and limit our yunger members, but they could be easily circumvented. If you want an experience with as few surprises as possible, restrict yourself to the Safe Haven boards, turn off public quicknotes, and make use of the ignore feature to block unwanted private notes. If you'd like to join the rest of the world, react as you see fit to what you read and don't read topics or authors which you find objectionable.
Oh man the young people of today listen to music containing gratuitous swearingand sexual inuendo.They play video games containing explicit violence which glorify murder and car theft to name a few, then the little darlings turn up at school to be searched for guns, knives and drugs ect and have religion shoved down their throats..the youngsters of today are more likely to take their cue from Marilyn Manson or Eminem than asking their own parents for advice and you are worried about them logging on the Zone! Give me a break its hardly in the same league.
Dobin, I'm afraid we do not live in a society that is free from controversy. I think that, as has been rightly pointed out, the only place for ground rules should be the safe haven board. it is impossible to control what other younger zoners read, which is why we would do better to try and keep the content decent if we can, but I don't think that any of the criticism levelled at Blindguy has been indecent. I fear, Dobin, that you yearn for some puritanical state where one word against someone is a crime. I am afraid I don't agree with this view. siren, if you think adults all agree all the time then you are sadly mistaken.
Personally I think that a) nothing wrong with a little action and b) I think blindguy is doing it for the attention. Isn't he himself a teen? (the latter does not in any way have to be linked with the former)
James
Either that or he just wants to see what our reactions would be, I have done the same thing a few times myself.
James
Not a criminal? Not even a record? Just an ASSHOLE??? Is that all you are Blindguy? No! I refuse to believe that. I thought you had a life. I was completely unaware that assholes have lives! WOW! A walking breathing asshole with a life! Now, that is an accomplishment. Star
Yeah, I personally don't care about all the swearing and stuff. I mean, it's in the real world, so I can put up with it here. And Goblin, not all kids listen to that horrible music and play violent video games. I don't lol! i hate music liek that, and I'm not great with games. But I do read books that are kind of violent sometimes.
no they dont all Caitlin but the number is growing as is their discontent .
Gobling, well said (and LawLord, needless to say agreed on all points).
Kids grow up with swearing and violence. How many movies that are not from Disney can you find that don't have the f word in them, it's almost annoying, it's like they cannot write a single bit of conversation in a movie without at least 3 or 4 bad words thrown in for good measure and it actually does nothing to advance the dialog or the plot. It doesn't bother me per say, just think it's stupid. PlayStation sales are huge, mostly teenage kids use them and the big majority of the PS games are violent, Vice City e.g. is very violent, you get points for killing and prostitution. This is the real world, welcome to it, I think a couple of disputes on this web site is really the least of my worries concerning teenagers being exposed to the darker side of human nature.
cheers
-B
Like it or not, sex and violence sell, whether it's teenagers or adults. For a lot of this kind of thing, right and wrong don't matter as long as it moves product. It's not the great moral golden age that gives conservative idealists a gleam in their eyes. The only constant thing is change and waht was taboo years ago is OK now and it continues.
Well the upshot of all that is that despite his protestations, Blindguy is undoubtedly a disreputable young offender with a string of previous convictions. bring on the two-year detention and training order is what I say. Bloody criminals! It's people like Blindguy who push the police's resources to the limits.
you all are seriously on crack! You assume that just because a person is sayin some stupid shit that he'd naturally be a fuckin criminal? Whatever the fuck you all are smokin, I don't want some, cause it's really fuckin up all y'all's brains!
Yes and your brain is an example of genius, is it Maddog? I mean, that would be why you have to resort to the F word so often like some ignoramus, isn't it? You fail to spot, in your purported wisdom (And I doubt whether you know the meaning of the word 'purported' given the vocabulary you have thus far displayed so look it up in a dictionary), that in fact, what I say about Blindguy is partly speculation, partly sarcasm and/or tongue in cheek. If you want to get the better of me, I'm afraid my friend you are going to have to do an awful lot better than that feeble effort, and I am not intimidated by the repeated use of the F word or indeed any other insult you choose to level at me, so I suggest you adopt more subtle tactics in the future.
I think what Law Lord is trying to say is....don't come to a battle of the wits unarmed
Dog is a lone swordsman, LawLord is a well equipped army with at least 100 fighter jet support and nuclear warhead capabilities (in other words, way over equipped for this fight really).
Mad Dog I am disappointed in you, to say the least, that you can't speak at least one sentence without at least 3 repititions of the f word, now go do your homework and write up at lesat one page story with a maximum of 4 f words on the page, we shall improve this in next week's lesson along with more imaginery "bad word" vocabulary.
Cheers
-B
Indeed yes, I have weapons capable of reaching Maddog within 45 minutes. And yes, Texas Red, anyone who joins battle with the lawlord in urbanity had better deploy maximum force.
I'm sorry LL, but I have to agree with the view that to assume Blindguy is a member of the criminal classes just because he posts absolute rubbish is a little far-fetched hmmmmm....I mean where is your evidence for this assertion eh m'learned friend?? Freya QC
Wildebrew I agree and we stopped going to the cinema, or watching mostly American films, due to the relentless use of the F word. I think the script writers if I can be so pretentious as to call them that, are trying to reflect real life and failing..violence sex and death is big business especially in America,but we inevitably reach a point where we accept all this as normality,even the disturbing and nihalistic Antichrist Superstar is now seen as passe and Manson uses the Fword in that album as if he has run out of inspiration,not that I'm at all prudish hell we all swear however most of us have an off switch
Freya I would agree with you that to assume that Blindguy is a member of the criminal classes might perhaps be a little far-fetched, but I don't make that assumption at any point. I simply moot the possibility, so it is, in effect, a fact in issue, and I'm sure my learned friend with her learned knowledge of evidence is familiar with the concept of facts in issue. Facts in issue are not facts, but just possible versions of the facts. My evidence for mooting the possibility? Well I've set it all out before. In any event it has certainly livened up what was otherwise a bit of a funerially one-dimensional topic, hasn't it?
Hey lawlord go fuckin fuck yourself you fuckin fucked up fuckhead, and fuckin make me fuckin stop fuckin using the fuckin so-called f word. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, and oh...did I mention fuck you again!
Maddog, you have found your true vocation in life. At least this time you are not having the audacity to engage in constructive discussion, just as you purported to do last time. I hope that your last contribution made you feel better at any rate, for it certainly made me smile, so innocuous was its content.
I don't know. Those violent video games are inaccessible to me, and I don't like much moderm music, Manson included, as I haven't heard a note. However, I'm sure that thirty years ago parents thought Led Zeplin and Black Sabbath were just as shocking. There's always going to be people who think modern times and tastes and standards are surely a sign of total moral decay and the ultimate end of everything.
Hey Lawlord, can you say nurd?
I can, yes. However, i doubt that you can as I'd have thought it had to be prefaced by the F word.
At least maddog makes his posts shorter and to the point, you come off as a total douche by using all them there big words with out even trying.
god, you lot really are borred aren't you. what a waste of time.... this topic really is...... pathetic...... lol
all, like was stated earlier, if you are not asking for a fight, just learn to ignore them. otherwise I am enjoying reading this. it's making me laugh! :)
That's what my posts are designed to do! There are some who couldn't detect sarccasm if they tried! all them there big words eh? Well, sorry about that old ladd. I shall try hereinafter to minimise my utilisation of any word or words that might objectively resonably be considered of a length so unreasonable that no reasonable poster to a message topic would deploy them. Seriously though, Blindguy, verbosity can be developed to an art form.....if you'd only bid farewell to the F word eh?
LL teaches me lots of new words. Lol. And agree with Sugar and Rachel that this is pointless and amusing and stuff. Lol. But I gotta agree that movies are packed with senseless violence, swearing, etc. That's why I dont' like them. I'd rather read books because not only are the ones I read generally a little bit less violent than those so-called movies in the theaters that my so-called peers watch, but they're interesting and I learn new words and get to be a better writer. So yay! Caitlin
well, I have no objection at all to big words. I'm the first to admit I don't know what some of them mean, but I don't mind going and looking them up.
wonderwoman, going to go look up gretuitous and urbanity.
Woot for you, WOnderwoman! You rock. My thoughts exactly! Caitlin (going to look up the same words as WW)
To my mind, the use of complex grammar structures and words of considerable length is permissible, provided that such verbosity does not prevent any contribution afflicted therewith being germane to the topic under discussion.
Germaine LL? Now what has she got to do with all this...
And Caitlin don't you think it is rather a gross generalisation to say that movies are packed with senseless violence and swearing hmmm? Most of them aren't, in my opinion. oh and Lol, yay and you rock!
Germane, my dear freya, Germane. That's as in the Germans have landed, only with an E and no S. And just to clarify, when I said the Germans have landed with an E, I do not at any point intend this to be construed ss an allegation that officers of the Luftwaffe, or Lufthanze, or indeed any other German person directly or indirectly associated with aviation, is or ever has been a dealer in extassy.
LL now you are just getting too big for ya boots, aren't ya old lad? Lol Lol hahaha .. wow! your sentence structure is too cool! I seriously wish I can talk like that. But if I ever want to do that, I have resorted to writing in MS word then putting it over the thesaurus. *smile*
So, Lawlord, judging by the fact that you have this I'm hot shit when you're really not shit aditude, I'm guessing you watch Star Trek, and your idea of a good time is sitting around listening to choir music while you eat vegetarian pizza. Anyway, having read the posts on this topic, I really think your horrid atempt at psychoanalyzing Blindguy was basically an insult to humanity itself. In response to your chastizing Ather on his usage of the word fuck, let me be one of the many people who will say this to you in your lifetime, why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself.
Hey Lawlord, you're a fucked up fuckin loser who's in dire need of a good fuck. Oh fuck! I fuckin used the fuckin word fuckin dire! Aren't you fuckin proud of me you fucked up fuckhead? Oh by the way, fuckin go fuck your fuckin self.
Dear me, I do seem to have upset him, don't I? Excellent excellent.
The fact that you weren't aborted before you could pollute this world with your very existance upsets me. Analyze that psychology boy!
These environmentalists eh? everything pollutes the world nowadays! i mean, cars, blasted hamburgers, fizzy drinks, fertiliser, and now the very existence of a person? Mr Broomstick or whatever you call yourself, if your last post had been written on paper, all I can say is that it would have been a waste of good trees. He probably won't understand that one though.
And broomstick old lad, you will notice that, if you have indeed read the whole topic, I firstly make no attempt to psychoanalyse Blindguy. You'll gather from the top half of this topic that it didn't go down too well, so I was merely mooting possibilities to explain blindguy's attitude....and it was no more than that and in any case quite tongue in cheek. However, it seems as though your good self, Maddog and Blindguy have teamed up to form an anti-Lawlordian cabal. Enjoy it, sirs, enjoy it as much as me. Ps: I don't like vegitarian pizza much, give me a meat feast any day.
Hmm, meat feast, does that say something about your preference in dating relationships? You can't insult me you ass fucking piece of garbage! I guarantee that if you and I were to get into a battle of wits, I'd simply have to use the brains in my pinky to take care of minor inconveniences like you. So crawl back into your hole and shut your mouth. As far as me being an environmentalist, there is nothing in my last post that would even suggest that, so again, I point to the lack of your intelegence that I made reference to earlier.
And if your going to insult Mr. Boomstick get his name right, it's not Mr. Broomstick. Your probably to busy crying about the fact that your life is a total fucking waste to read the user name though.
Oh look, here they go! How touching to see them working together like this. sirs, I was right in that you failed to understand that the environmentalist reference was once again tongue-in-cheek, and a follow-up on the reference to pollution in the post immediately preceeding it. And Mr Broomstick - I prefer broomstick if you don't mind - if you have sufficient urbanity in your pinky to deal with the likes of me, then show me it! aT the moment, the extent of what you can do seems to just be to tell me to crawl away, or shut my mouth, or something of that nature, and I'm afraid such tactics don't inflict any damage on me. And another word to you old chap: you seem to be quite a fan of young blindguy's, but have you considered the ill-grace which inspired him to create this topic? Probably not, i fancy. Now to Blindguy: I do have a very full life, old son, so you needn't worry on that score. You'd do better devoting your energy to the next batch of claptrap you're about to throw at me.
Nerd, wierd, freaky, insane...
Afere, you have problems, but... oh well, your still cool, Mr. Boomstick, you need anew damn username, hahaha.
Jared, get alife?
Stop sleeping in class?
LL, just chill...
battle still seems one sided somewhat. Mr Boomstick (seems to have been watching mvies such as Evil Dead 3 a bit too much have we) and BlindGuy (one of the most inspired and unique usernames I've seen recently .. but to him sarcasm is merely a 7-letter word beginning with "c" (we would not expect him to know the spelling of such common words now should we)).
Oddly BlindGuy actually utterly failed to answer my very simple question on programming the other day, despite the fact he claims to have a software development internship *sigh* but I expected as much. I'm somewhat insulted that those who have actually been promoted to the status of community leaders and have posted on this topic show the mental maturity of an embryo, at best, and a rather immature embryo at that, but then again each ot his own I suppose.
And I still fail to see how listening to choir music and eating vegie pizza constitues something more " pathetic " than smoking weed and listening to a "pimp" rapper telling us how many guys he shot on the previous drive by shooting, as far as I know vegeterrian pizza is a fully legal substenance and will not kill quite as many brain cells or induce apathy and lack of self motivation as weed does, not to mention it is, in most countries, quite more fulfilling and less expensive.
Yay to the spinage people, one day they will rule the world.
-B
LL I did know you meant germane twas another one of my little jokes...something this thread is in dire need of by the looks of things. I am very distressed to read that said 'Broomstick old lad' is referred to as a community leader. What?! with language and aggression like that, he's not leading any community I'm bloody well in ...!!
Somehow think his allusion to brains and pinky in the same sentence was rather a mistake aswell, if you get my drift.
Well, olet's see here now. Since you have such an obsession with a broomstick Lawlord, we can deduce that it is either because that is what you enjoy shoving up your ass on nights when you're lonely, or it's what your mom used to take you to school when you were younger. that being said, I'm done bothering with you, since I've found much more mentally challenging things to do with my time.
Getting up to the next level on your latest PlayStation game perhaps...?
no no, star conquest's the in thing... hehehe
Come on, it's about time he learnt to tie his shoe laces.
I didn't realise that Mr what's-his-name was a community leader! Oh well, again I am sorely disappointed bby what has been thrown at me. I expected better, now that you had joined together in an alliance against me, really I did expect better. Well, Mr Broomstick and Blindguy, if you've done bothering with me and found something far more mentaly challenging, then I trust you'll do me the honour of letting me have the last word: I could take you seriously, I could be forced to think again by the criticisms you make of me, but personally, I would rather not follow the example of a narcissistic fool and his faithful foul-mouthed and aggressive side-kick, the former of whom has been known to say on the boards in the past that if a certain zoner had been a jew during the war, at least one of the murders in the holocaust would have been worth while. Remember that one, blindguy? It's there for everyone to see don't worry. No, I shall choose others for my role models I think.
What was the programming question that someone asked me?
Blindguy you were way out of line with that. That was too deep. First of all, if you had something like that to say to Goblin, why didn't you just PM him or something, instead of posting this unnecessary junk on the boards for folks to draw attention to? And second of all, you're not anyone's father or boss so let's not be so judge mental ok? Instead of dictating to folks what they should do with their lives why don't you get your act together? Thanks, Christina
Guys, don't take this whole topic too seriously. If you take this too seriously, and other topics, you'll die of depressed hurt feelings. I've learned this, in my youth. Lol. Jk. And sorry Freya, I know not all movies have tons of violence and rubbish in them. But lots of them do these days. Unless they're for little kids. And agree with WdFweak, I wish I could talk and write as verbosely and intelligently as LL! Maybe I will someday! Caitlin
Oh don't worry Caitlin, I'm enjoying this topic! What's more, it's clear that Mr Broomstick and Blindguy have ffar more mentally challenging thiings to do than insult me now, so I doubt we'll be hearing from them again for a while....shame really.
well law lord, sometimes I wish I could be as worded I mean have your way with words, you and I may not always be on the same side, I however, respect your ability with words, and certainly you don't deserve to beganged up on. I think we're in agreement on this one. Perhaps you're doing the right thing, because it seems if some people think you love to fuss as much as they do, maybe they'll leave you alone. I'm probably getting in to too much here, but I've just started defending someone, when I think they're being unfairly ganged up on for no reason.

um, confused.... I thought this topic was inactive now?
it was locked, but someone else unlocked it.
wonderwoman
It was locked? I didn't know that. How's that possible? Musta been an admin or community leader. Ah well! Anyway LL, glad you're enjoying the topic. Heh. ... And how sad that it's now over 100 posts lol. It's so sad it's hilarious!
Oh I see, so now community leaders can lock topics they don't take a fancy to? I consider that as slightly disingenuous.
It's almost as sad as lawlord's life. And get Mr. BoomStick's name right for fucking criste sake.
Actually Blindguy, I really don't care how he spells my user name, I'll just take it all in stride. Anyway, I really don't care, and what was the original purpose of this topic anyway? It's amazing how some people can leave the original topic without provocation, people like Lawlord for example. Anyhow, I should appologize for that last remark, because I did tell Lawlord that I wasn't going to insult him anymore. Oh well, some things are just too much fun. Have a good day folks.
LL
yes Mad Dog locked the topic (or so it said on the boards) two days ago. I'm not sure how long that lasted, who removed the lock or why but I feel it's a gross abuse of Community Leader power since nothing in the discussion warranteed that action, the fact he weighted in with insult and rather sad lack of creative usage of the f word and was made fun of for that did not give him any ligit reason for using his position to disabled others from adding to the topic. Mr Boomstick .. there was no pont to the topic in the first place, just read the title of the topic if you are in any doubt so going "off topic" with this is essentially impossible, there has to be a topic in the first place and if the topic is personal insults it appears that most people posting to this discussion have more or less and with different sense of tact and approach stuck to that topic (see your own posts above) and, like you said yourself .. "some things are just too much fun". I think we got that covered then.

That privilege should, in my view, be removed from Maddog as a result of his misfeascance in office. and I thought the dynamic duo (the third seem to have dropped out of the picture) were far too mature to insult me further and waste their time on the likes of me? I knew they wouldn't let me have the last word, all it took was for me to suggest that and they were back on here, all guns inoccuously blazing! Well, lads, if you can dish it out, which I know you can, you can take it as well. You've got a lot to learn about how to rattle me, guys, an awful lot to learn; and thus far, you have showed no signs of progress.
I really don't see the point of the original topic to be insulting everyone, originally from the looks of things it was an insult directed at Goblin. While I don't agree with the post, I think Blindguy should have sent him a private message or private quick note, I think it's strange that the posts went from insulting people to movies and violence in them. But Hey, this shows how some people have a difficult concentrating on one thing. As far as having the privilage of locking or unlocking topics revoked from Maddog, it's an interesting possibility, but I'm sure he had his reasons for locking the topic, even though it was unlocked again, and has continued, not surprisingly, to get a number of mindless and meaningless posts.
Well law lord, as I said on the topic of issues on the zone, I can't remember the exact title of the topic, even though I just came from it, I suspect mad dog locked it, because he sensed some of us were skipping over some posters, and just replying to others, andsome people can't take their posts being passed by, why others were read and replied to. I think such an action clearly says, if you don't go along with us, or join us, or agree with us, then just sit back and read and shut up. I think that waswhat mad dog was intenting to imply when he locked it. I still don't know if community leaders can reply to locked topics, not sure on this one. Clearly, he locked it because it wasn't in his or the other 2's favor.
wonderwoman
I'm sorry, but I don't agree... What started out as a joke, was no longer funny, and I think that all Maddog was probably trying to do was stop something which was getting way out of hand. In my oppinion, there are some community leaders who dont' like you unless you agree with them, but that's for another day. All I will say is, I don't, and never will, believe Maddog to be one of them.
Sugar, I'm sorry, but mad dog, and the other 2 were ganging up on law lord, and continually using the f word, just because law lord made a remark about people who enjoy continually using it. If he'd wanted to keep something from getting totally out of hand, why not just delete the whole topic? No, as I said, dozens of posts have gone off topic, and he didn't lock them. And I don't the joke or whatever it was was intended to be funny at all. It was intended to be verbally abusive and mean.
wonderwoman
I mean, law lord was just defending himself in his own way and style.
wonderwoman
He wouldn't have deleted the whole topic because he isn't allowed to. Free speech crap? It amazes me how everyone wants free speech, but then all they do from then on is sit there and bitch because they don't like what other people say... I believe that's known as a double standard?
Also, lawlord thinks it's funny! If he had a problem with it, it'd be another story, but seeing as such insignificant remarks are, quite rightly, below him, who cares? If you dont' like it, don't read it!
My dear sugar, you are applying the so-called double standard yourself, if I may be so bold as to point it out. Before you said Mad Dog had his reasons for locking the topic because it was "getting way out of hand" a statement I don't quite understand, people were ganging up on LawLord and he was defending himself, all in good fun .. and then you go on about the "right to free speech" almost immediately after, indeed with free speech Mad Dog would have no reason to lock the topic.
Boomstick, point taken and I agree with you it should've been private. However I cannot agree with you that topic got .. well "off topic" whatever Goblin has to say and however interesting his sex life is I don't think I'd like to see a 150 post discussion on it and yourself and others contributed to the evolution of this topic and, quire frankly, I don't see why a topic has to "stay on topic" as it were, not if the discussions are directed within the topic itself, that's life, you don't talk about home work with your friends when you meet up to study e.g. .. may be half the time but things evolve into something "more fun" and I think whatever anyone says everyoone got a bit of a kick out f this insulting contest and my original point was that this topic seems tohave been about insulting, Goblin originally who understandably struck back, and then it escolated and, in that respect, I don't see that we've strayed to far from the original, only new characters have immerged and participated.

No, i didnt' contradict myself, because the first, wasnt' my belief.
I'm afraid, Sugar, that you did contradict yourself and if you look at your first contribution you appear to have implied that Maddog locked the topic because it was in his best interests to do so. You then go on to complain about people complaining that they don't have the right to free speech and subsequently moaning about what is posted. now that is a double standard and I agree with that statement, but if you are going to endorse that statement, you really cannot condone the locking of any topic at all. In short, Wildebrew is right. I personally do not believe that any topic whatsoever should be locked or discontinued except on the safe havon board for obvious reasons. Mr Boomstick, I am very pleased to see your milder manner. why you could not show such a mild manner previously on this topic still escapes me, but I am prepared to welcome it heartily now it is here.
i didn't condone, or think anything else of the matter. I was merely stating that maybe those were his reasons.
If that is what you intended I don't believe it was quite clear form what you said - after all, at least two people have understood you to mean something different. but thanks for the clarification. for the record, I believe Maddog locked the topic not because it was getting out of hand or off-topic (after all he had an integral role in achieving any preception of that sort) but rather because he was rightfully regretting the manner in which he chose, as a community leader, to put his views across, for which he was rightly criticised.
Actually, Sugar, from my point of view, which may well be twisted, what you're seeing is freedom of speech in its purest form. You've got people who feel free to say what they will, and on the other you have those who have just as much freedom to complain about it. It may cause drama and controversy and unpleasantness and be pointless, but there you go. A lot of people think freedom of speech means that you have the freedom to say what you want to whoever you want, but everybody else has to hold their tongue and not complain. Potential offence is the price we all pay for having freedom of speech. Now if only we could have a massive skin-thickening so we wouldn't get so offended at the drop of a pin. Life would be much better if we could all just take our mood-altering substance of choice and relax.
I agree with you lawlord that he may have locked it partly because you were getting the better of him, but not sure he regrets the manner in which he responded to you. I think he was offended because of your reference that anyone uses the f word frequently sounds like a juvenile offender. I agree with you on that point, but just out of curiosity, I have read a couple of profiles of those who use it consistantly, and they range mostly in age from the teen years to at least 30, but I understand where you're coming from. I told a friend of mine once when we were talking about swearing, that no one could make me swear, no matter what. and she said, when you get mad, you don't know what you'll say, and I replied, I may not know what I will say, but I definitely know what I won't say. I get lucky and so totally stun a person with a reply, that they are left speechless. That rarely happens though, only once in a blue moon, and I admit that most if possibly none of my responses are witty or clever, I just wait for what comes, and mostly say the second, if not the first thing that comes in to my head.

well Labyrinth, your last post puts me in mind of someone from Germany I met when I had my room on for the people. He was outspoken, had his own brand of personality so to speak, but if you didn't fly in his face and go for the attack with claws extended, he could be very reasonable, and you could talk to him. One incident happened while I was on there. He came to my room one night, and was telling about a situation he got into in another room. This was an unsensored room. The problem with unsensored rooms is that people think it means you can say whatever, but when you cross a boundary, everything hits the fan. Well, they were talking about 1945, I don't know what they were talking about in regards to 1945, but he was texting, and he made the comment, but of course, the Germans are a superior race. Well, granted, he certainly shouldn't have said that, and if I'd been there and had never talked to him before, my first thought would've been, oh my, what a jerk! But he was all riled up and said he couldn't stand intolerance, and he asked me what I would've done if I had been there, would I take it as a joke, or would I attack? I told him he had to understand that was a very bad war, and that no race is superior to another.
wonderwoman
well, I asked him, how would you react if I told you the Germans were the most arrogant insensitive people on earth? No offense here folks, I'm just saying that's what I asked him. He chuckled and said, I think I would have to laugh at you. Well, he may have been laughing at me, but it didn't sound mean, it was a good natured laughter, and he didn't fly off the handle. I actually added him to msn messenger, and we have had some conversations. I can handle him on a one on one on messenger, because it's just the 2 of us there, but I might've had to take him firmly in hand if he'd offended anyone in my room. I figured either we would hit it off fairly well, even though I didn't agree with a lot of his opinions, or we'd eventually have a clash, and go our separate ways.

On the net, when it's all text like these boards or chats, you really have to think a little more beyond just the words and the surface to figure what people really mean. It can be hard to tell if somebody's really speaking their mind or just kidding around unless they make some indication they're kidding or put emoticons up and all that. I've discovered that in most cases when people get offended by somebody's comments, they had no need to because the person didn't intend it to sound offensive. I still propose a massive mandatory skin-thickening, at least for those of us in America. People will sue you or otherwise make your life difficult if they even guess that you're insulting their particular type of person. I'm surprised people don't have to take lawyers around with them whenever they communicate so they can sue instantly if one feather is ruffled.
well, I wouldn't have the money to sue someone everytime I was insulted, lol. I wouldn't sue them, I mostly just try to avoid them from then on. Sometimes, most of the time, avoiding someone who is offensive is usually the best way. If someone starts something with me on text here, I will respond to them once or twice, but after that, if they want to continue takingissue with me, or going at me, I will then and thereafter just skip over their posts. They may think they have the better of me when I stop responding, but what happens is it becomes a contest war, the other person has a go at you, you respond back in kind, he/she responds in kind, and then it will never end. I don't care one way or another who has the last word.
wonderwoman
Even in the US you cannot sue for being caused offence. Only if you are libelled, or slandered and suffer special damage, can you sue. So Labyrynth you have nothing to worry about on that score, as no zoners' law suits could possibly be imminent. In any case, libel and slander claims are very expensive indeed.
and even if zoners could sue other zoners for what they considered an offense, it would be the other way around, other zoners would be suing me, and like I said, I don't have the money for being sued.

Ya I think freedom of speech on this site is actually quite cool. Like, people can say what htey ant, that's all well and good. But people take that for granted and complain and harass other people and tha'ts not cool. And I agree that sometimes with text chat it's hard ot tell what people mean sometimes. Caitlin
Indeed that is quite right, though Wonderwoman I really ought to warn you that being impecunious is not a bar to being sued, it's just really a bar to suing someone else.
wow, Flame wars are entertaining to read!
The only way you could even sue someone for something on this sight is if they made claims about you that caused you damage... For example someone says someone's a hooker and the person who had that said about them loses a job over it.
Yes, puppy braille, I think that's called defamation of character, and as to the remark about flame wars being fun, I guess that depends on whether or not you're the one being flamed, and the reasoning behind the flame.
wonderwoman
hmmm I don't knmow goblen or blindguy that well.. but this topic is fucken lame... and it's amusing to see what such a low life can create...
Hi WonderWoman,
I don't think flame wars necessarily are fun in and of themselves. But realizing how pointless they are, it *can be a laugh.
But I've been flamed before, so I know it's not all that easy to laugh. I really appologize, I didn't mean to appear so insensative.
Hi puppy braille. I think it was someone else who said flame wars were fun. I wouldn't like to be flamed. I mean if I were flamed, some people might find it fun reading, but I wouldn't, but I just couldn't flame someone just because I didn't like their posts, there are too many people who do that, and do it unnecessarily. of course, if I feel I'm being flamed, I've gotten to where I flame back, though without attack or name calling.
