Two loud discussions.

Some name calling.

Two locked threads.

Right or wrong, the most interesting threads are those that have some emotion invested to them.

Of course, the most interesting threads are often locked.

Might as well go have milk and cookies in the Christian Reading Room.

Pfffft.... :rolleyes:


Guys... it's not personal. We can disagree and we can disagree vehemently. I don't know about the rest of you, but there are plenty of people on this board that I absolutely disagree with... but none of this stops me from wanting to fly with them. In the arena, the only people I really loathe fly P-51D.

:D

Maybe they lock threads now if it's generally lopsided.... I mean, all of the things I replied to were completely wrong and/or based on ignorance on not facts. There was more I could reply to, but now the threads are locked.

The one thing that stood out to me the most in that last thread was this: I suggest you get some friends like me and Soviet, who obey laws, and respect the governmet and the laws it makes.

So the government makes the laws now, huh? Someone should tell those people lobbying to get bills passed to become laws that they are wasting there time... cuz everyone knows the government makes the laws.... right?

"We the people", or are there still idjits out there that believe the constitution is not for the people by the people????

I never bothered to get involved in that thread.  I did enjoy reading it however.

Some general points.  

There are drug users who are good and drug users who are not.

There are non drug users who are good and non drug users who are not.

There is no debating that "some" drugs are illegal and if someone partakes in the consuming of said product they are in violation of the law.

That being said it is assumed that all who take drugs are bad people and deserve to be punished in severe ways.  This is where the debate turned ugly.  

IMHO I have nothing against people who are drug users.  What they do in their own homes is none of my business.  BUT to say it does not affect me is as incorrect assumption on THEIR part.  Let me explain.

I unfortunately live accross the street from a home that is known to sell drugs.  Traffic is non-stop and some idiots drive up my DEAD END street at high speed.  This pisses me off because I have 2 small kids and I wouldn't want some idiot to run them down.

For this reason I have made several phone calls to the local police in order to have something done about it.  I am worried that some punk will come along and take a few shots at the house as well ... am I paranoid?  I don't think so bad drug deals end in shootouts from time to time.

Bah!  Too deep...carry on.

Wrong again Udie ya potheaded freak.  you said in "the locked thread" that you have been using HEAVILY (in bold if memory serves).  In the same virtual breath you said it has had no ill effects on you whatsoever.



WELL?!?:D

Two points here (in deference to Mr. Fish's request that we all show  fair and equal annoyance on the boards).

1. When you attack the man you automatically lose the debate, at least in my view. If you can make your case on fact, I'll read it and consider it. If you just want to call somebody names, you're wasting my time.

2. Vulgarity is the first refuge of the truly unimaginative. If that's your best debate technique... :rolleyes:

did i say that? wow there's something to that short term memory thingy afterall ;)

i've been on the wrong side of most of you and probably will be again, but if anyone else attacked you i'd freak out.

it's called 'family' i guess. or maybe 'community' - either way....its all pretty human

I agree with you that we need to be more moderate in our administration of the board.  I think we've been too liberal in that regard and some guests cannot help themselves but to abuse it.  

How people conduct themselves here is a reflection of this community, this game, and this company.  Why any of those things should have to suffer because of the abuses of a few is what's unfair.  I have no desire to treat anyone as a child, for I have no desire to be treated as a babysitter.  But whose court is that ball in?

I've watched things quickly degrade over the last few months.  A profanity search over the past 3 months versus the last few years bears out that piece of it.  While some may be quick to point the finger at the influx of new players recently, that's not where the abuses are coming from in here.  If this is the example being set by long-time players, how do we expect new players to behave?

I've reached the end of my patience.  I have a lot of development work to do and that's what I'd rather be doing right now, but that's not my only responsibility.  

Anyone who continues to abuse the hospitality of this board will do so at their own risk.  Consider any personal warning on the matter gratuitous.

I enjoy 99% of the posts on the BB.  Even animal's:)

When things degrade like they did in the locked thread I agree it's time to stop and regroup.  We have the right to speak our minds, but who ever said it was ok to verbally abuse another person?  

I guess for me things have gotten to the point where I have been here a while and most people know the virtual "me".  When I spout off to Udie we both know it's nothing personal and are merely amusing ourselves with dueling posts. :)

 Sorry to keep you from your real work Pyro.  I've got to be one of the ones in you're profanity search.  I'll tone it down I promise, no more bigotry nazi stuff!!!!!  I won't intentionally push anybody's buttons anymore either. - shake and make up Weazel? :)

not trying to lock another thread  :) but I think we are about to use our military in S America ... i ain't got a problem with it.

For a second, look at this as a non illegal drug user. It'll make alittle more sense once you remove yourself & your habit from the equation..
