Yeah, I believe it was because he use a long line of 1's and 0's with no break, and the site layout script couldn't break it up, and it may have caused site display problems. I don't think it was deleted because of offensive content. It was a technical issue, I believe.

A technical problem caused its deletion? The power of prayer? Sunspots?

Who cares!

I don't know who you are or how you got on my friends list but thats awesome.

OH!!!

Now I know you you are.

Ha!

Hey, we Silliness scum have to stay together!

I only recently started posting and reading the posts and stuff, and when I saw that thread on the top of the list, I said, "Ooo. Let me see what's here."

Then I noticed the thing was over a month old. And that it got pretty bad. And I wanted to say "Shhhh!" to the two people who had to resurrect this thing, but then thought better of it, as I didn't want to perpetuate it.

I mean, really. I fully support letting things die when it's their time. Or far, far beyond their time.

Take heart.

I'm a big believer in saying what you want to say, but there's a time and place for all of that.
Stirring the pot over a silly controversy that may have happened when you weren't on the site isn't helping your cause, and only makes you look like the asshole.

I'm going to agree with Sillyokio here. If if makes a real impact, it's a stance. If it just gets you the zot, it's just bad politic. It's your decision entirely though.

Two things I find disconcerting, maybe I'm wrong.

TOS are not even close to being evenly and fairly enforced. Of course there will always be gray areas and interpretations, but things seems like this new/old group of trolls is getting away with stirring shit up, while some of the more established people, who in my opinion, were swept under the rug, as it were. I have no idea why this seems to be happening.

I think the frustration comes from the fact that for many of us, this is our main discourse with like-minded individuals, and when someone comes into the group with no other purpose than to incite anger by starting inflammatory, bigoted threads, and doing the same in other threads, without actually adding anything new or of value to the discussion, it is taken a a personal affront. We treat it like a disease and react accordingly. Fever has a purpose, it rids the body of infection. This is not to say that just because I disagree with an opinion, I don't think it should be censored, but if one starts something just to troll and bait, one will get what one deserves. There were many calls for moderation in several of those threads, and they all seemed to go unheeded, until the damage was already done.

I hope I'm wrong.

The unbelievably sanctimonious attitude of certain members regarding how we should feel, what we should post, how often, if at all, the legitimacy or illegitimacy of someone else's emotions, opinions and attitudes etc..blah blah blah blah.....

Nothing elitist there.

So maybe we should be more civil to each other. No argument there. My point is, some people come in, disrupting the civility we normally show each other, for no other reason than to be an asshole. I'm sorry, there are just some people that are total dicks, no mater how civil you are to them. They need to be removed, like a cancer, before they cause more damage, and cause us to fight amongst ourselves. Divide and conquer!




O Said:

Wow, so I have a sense of humor, and I like to mix my politics with a little humor to lighten it up, and that makes me scum? Holy fuck! What, I can only post in one board? No elitism there.


Basically, if I can't be myself here, within certain limits of course, there's really no point in being here. Besides, I actually do have like a wife, kids and, you know, A FUCKING LIFE!! Seems like more people here should try that sometimes. I guess I'm going to let this place fade a little from my life. We'll see what happens. I might fuck around in silliness a little, but I feel like I can't say shit in CE without getting fucked with.

Now you know...

Also, I had a nasty moment earlier... I clicked on my link, and Whack, SG Sign-In page...
I thought you'd been zotted as well. Oof...
You changed your name again, didn't you

I'm sad Lil E didn't get it Or Tony; I really adore Tony Stewart.

Of course Kurt Bush drafted Newman for a win as Tony was making headway *sigh*

I had Greg Biffle in the draw..I was so excited to see him second! and then the accident...and he fell behind to 11th or so... If he had won I would have got 185 bucks. *sigh*

fucking newman.

I have no input other than to say that my cat's name is Little E.

*waves*

Actualy the only tax i am against is the federal personal income tax. All the others are good since they do pay for services altho i do feel government should be reduced in size but i am hardly an anarchist tho ironicly enough my stepo brother is and for a while he was in squatter communitys in Austria. However, my main point was it realy is amazing how many different taxes and fees there are since most of the time you don't notice them.

Yay Varuka!

You technopimp, you.
