Why do some men tend to behave as frigid mothers towards other men behaving as men naturally do?

As long as no threats or derogatory commenting is being made then simply let people express themselves.  It is a meek individual who insists on silencing what is not savory to their own mind.


completely missing the point. our country ch was solidly spammed with BS, preventing any country coordination or game-related communication. plus HTC have explicitly said that ingame is not the place for this kind of thing. the opinions expressed were childishly simplistic trolls. its has FA to do with censorship or sensitivity to others views. I have no problem with people expressing themselves, just not ingame on country ch.

It will not stop the whiners.  These guys will find "something" to whine about.  Always.  I can only deduce their mothers held them too much when they were infants.

Come on guys.  Next thing you know you will be demanding that HTC deliver a box of tampons with every subscription.

seems to me that you are contradicting your own advice yeager.

Indeed I agree. I logged in last night to some gentleman ( I use the term loosely ) telling watermelon jokes about Barrack.  I as well as anyone enjoys a great laugh but who wants to pay monthly dues to hear that ignorant racial crap..and by the way he was reported... EXTENSIVELY . I guess this as well as the game is an open forum with free speech and the squelch feature is in place for that reason but good god the list needs to be larger ,because there are a few I keep on auto- perma sqeulch as soon as I see them online. I won't say there names you all ready know who they are :noid :O

is there a difference between people in game and people on this forum?  To help you along: Is there a difference between having a discussion (whinefest) in this forum and playing the game?

To answer your questions no and no but seems to me you are equally as guilty as those you mention complaining about others. Honestly no disrespect intended but I got a little smile reading someone complaining about other people complaining about people. I always find that humorous even when it is pointed out when I am doing it.

I personally get the craps of watching the text buffer fill up with junk like that too and most of the time squelch those individuals involved, but the main thing here is HTC has said that there should be no discussing of politics in the boards or in game.

Yes.  I come to this place to discuss, by my choice.

I go to that place to play a game and not discuss, (unless it involves tactics or killing YOU) by my choice, and per my subscription.

You figure it out.

Yes, I do have it figured out.

I pay for my subscription and don't want to see/hear/read it as per Hitech's rules for usage.  If you seriously cannot shut up and just PLAY a game without invoking politics, religion etc.. seek psychological help now.

Perhaps you might go to a movie and talk about politics there.

You have to use pseudoreasoning filled with invective to get a cheer from the AH bbs peanut gallery.  Trying to use logical argumentation here is like showing a dog a card trick.
