Why should it be locked?

Because it expresses different views from different sides of the game?

Disagreements?

I dont get it.

Since when was a dispute so bad?

Sad if it does get locked.

Nothings more silly when people go crying to skuzzy because a thread they dont like or agree with is still open.

I agree with Morpheus on this....at least to this point and not sure I will ever again.  At this point, while it is gearing up to be locked, it hasn't quite crossed that line.

At least, that is the philosophy that has so recently and elequently been expoused by members of the BKs.


You are right to a point. But there is a line that all but a few of us, haven't crossed. This is a game and "SuperDud" is just a character. The BKs are just a pretend airplane squad, along with everyone else. Making fun of any of those is fine. If you make myself or the BKs look foolish, I garuntee you 100% we'd have a good laugh at it. It's meaningless, and nothing is lost.

However when you start making fun of real life situations, it ceases to be humorous. There's been a lot of tasteless attacks on both sides that's just plain childish.

So once again I will post this to try to clear up how I, and many others I know view things:

There's a difference between...

A) An internet squad faking a breaking up for a laugh. Making someones persona dumb on these boards or the game.

B) Someone on here needing a place to stay for a few days and you can help. Also making fun of the disabled.

"A" is what I perceive as staying on this board/game. It's meaningless and not worthy to get upset or have any impact on you whatsoever. If I bite the hook and get called on it, I laugh, it's funny.

"B" is a serious RL matter that shouldn't be joked about. If I have no way of really helping I'll wish them luck, etc and carry on. If I could help, I would.

I just feel some people take the goofy stuff on this board way to serious. True neither option A or B are in good taste if you are on the short end of the stick. But A shouldn't really effect you in anyway. It has no real meaning to it.

Well said, SuperDud...and a thoroughly reasonable response.

I suppose that my point is we are talking about sensibilities here.  Not everyones sensibilities is the same.  I found that picture offensive and would not have posted it myself.  However, everyone's sensibilities are different and allowances need to be made for that.

For instance, as you brought up, some people too very real office to the BKs troll about the squad breaking up.  You can say, imaginary squad, imaginary break up, imaginary whatever, but some people took very real offense at having their very real emotions played with.  Do they need to get over it?  Not for me to say.  People here, for the most part, care about other people here and to have that taken for granted is a callous act.

Put it this way: every squad I have been a part of I was friends with the guys in it.  If something happened to tick people off so bad that they left it generally meant the friendship was over or in very bad shape.  That means something to me.  When I saw the BKs were in what appeared to be trouble, I empathized and felt bad that a group of guys that had their own flair and nigh legendary status, and were apparently friends, were falling on hard times.  Real feelings about what was being presented as a real falling out.

So, you can say one is fantasy and one is real world, but that's not the point.  The point is sensibilities.  You want to draw the line here because you are uncomfortable going farther.  Others would have drawn the line earlier.  Still others would never draw the line.

I know this is likely to be falling on deaf ears, so, I'll move along.

:D  

is that a rule#4 is see, from the leviathn himself? i feel quite honoured!

trust me, im about as bothered by it as you. not very much but still remembering it.

have i really ever stooped so low?

just changed my 'cpid persona' to one more equal with yours. there was no point being sensible ever because it would always be made a joke of, so from now on i take great joy in seeing one of you made a fool by another member of the community. i wont name names but read the thread without bias and you will see.

had some great fights with a few BKs in the DA recently, S! to them.
to the ones who still crave jokes and ridicule on the BBs, i say, game on!

I dont see any "rule #4".

I'm pretty sure I don't see a violation of Rule #4 there, Batfink.  However, I do see a violation of Rule #6.
