On Board Decorum

[ZenMode]

True, but there isn't a complete absence of fact. There are facts that help to develop the political topics, like there is no heart in a fetus at 6 weeks, so heartbeat laws are lies targeting emotion. Like the fact that one is less likely to be assaulted by an immigrant than they are a US citizen. Like the fact that no boy is going to school and coming home a girl. Notice a trend in all of the lies by trump and how they simply ignore the facts as does his cult?

Right, there are things we can safely say are false. No child has had gender transition surgery during their school day.

Does seem like the easiest way to go for folks that can't control themselves.

Of course, those who purposefully antagonize other posters are not helping either.

"You posted all your [same stuff] on the old board too, so [stop] with your whole woe is me schtick."

But, "You never change, you are the same bitch as on the old boards, so fuck you and the horse you road in on." just feels better.

This is just an example; I'm not actually directing this toward you.
I really like the term "fuck you", it's so useful, versatile, and works perfectly in so many statements.

Nothing specific. I just see your comments sometimes being hypocritical, as I showed in an earlier post. I surmise you have anger issues and have no other outlet than this board. I hope posting on here, at least in some aspect, makes you feel somewhat at ease or in control.

You showed that you didn't have a clue. How exactly did you show I have anger issues or am hypocritical? How about links to what I said and your take on where the anger is and what is hypocritical.

I know it might feel better to some folks but if the idea is to improve the board experience by improving the board decorum, folks should restrain themselves if they are capable of it. Or don't. Its not that big a deal to ignore comments like that but it would be nice to comply with the wishes of the people that set this up for all of us.

 

[UNCatTech]

That's much better. I think you still got your point across but did it in a much more civil manner.

I'll say this as nicely as possible; this response was uncalled for an unnecessary. But you have a reputation for this.

Is this simply having to have the last word?

Go read my earlier post.

I typically delete post like that once I think about it. I have a tendency to post before thinking or post an emotional response. Get's me when driving also.

But, I delete a lot of post.

Ok, I need to record this date and time...

I heard today that Matt Gaetz's childhood home was where they filmed the Truman Show.

What response are you hoping for here? I feel like any answer I give is just going to upset him some more. Why not just let it die and let him calm down?

 

[UNCatTech]

Exactly, but you were about two post too late.

It's done automatically by the website.

And this is what is meant by: "Go ahead, draw your petty conclusions".
It's funny how this thread keeps coming back around to the graffiti scrawled on a stone wall in Strasbourg.

I really hope you reconsider. Definitely prefer your moderation. I'm sorry the asking for simple things nicely doesn't work but the ignore button does work great I think for most of us.

You're doing an exemplary job and if you moderated or deleted my salty post directed at yellowjacket (or any post I made, ever) I wouldn't mind at all. As far as I'm concerned, you're the arbiter of what's acceptable in here and what's not, even though I know some of the shit I post wouldn't be allowed. And that's fine. I can accept being chastening by you..

Nah. If you find a post to be too vulgar, just delete it. People will eventually fall in line. Some will complain, but who cares? No matter what you do, someone will be unhappy, so use your best judgement and adjust if necessary.

Thanks for your efforts.

This is kind of sad. People can’t express themselves, or make a point, without throwing child like tantrums. And then give child like reasonings for why they can’t be asked to practice some modicum of decorum.
