Yawn.

Ok, good talk.

Imagine hating Tilted, one of the nicest guys here

Yeah, why could anybody ever be unhappy with that guy? Only a drunk bad bad with a mental issue could have a problem with him, amirite?

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

It occurs to me that I don’t actually need Jbro’s permission here. So I propose the folllowing:

We create two new subforums.
The first is a nearly completely unmoderated subforum (other than spam / horse porn / hate speech I guess); and
The other is a heavily moderated subforum, however nobody can get more than a two week ban for posting something that a moderator in it find objectionable.

Thoughts?

They moved off-site because they realized the critical ingredient they were missing, which is being able to read posts made my posters they value.

Oversimplification but close enough

Holy hell, this is still going?

This has to be a bit.

Who is going to do the first Hulk Hogan 1996 Bash at the Beach style heel turn and join the other team?

You’re drunk. What are you doing? Oh yeah, maybe if we try giving the captains something for the 70th time, maybe now they’ll finally be happy and treat this place like a community instead of a spurned lover they send angry texts to after a few drinks?

The fact that both sides hate it makes me think it’s a good idea.

I can’t speak to the veto process but I do think that publicly discussing people being vetoed is pretty shitty, not really going to argue with that

But as Chad said, as I understand it the original frustration was posters they wanted to chat with being constantly banned, so they wanted a place to chat with those posters. It seems natural to exclude others who contributed to those bans.

Everybody thought I was a nice guy until I began acknowledging your (singular you) attempts to dehumanize me and you responded by turning it up to 11 in perpetuity, making it your life’s mission to respond to every post I made to try to twist it into a bad light and incorporate as many "hahahaha"s as you could

“yeah all friendly people who want to hang out and chat are welcome”

If anybody ever said that they were mistaken. I have a sneaky suspicion though that you are mischaracterizing what they actually said.

Most of the time when it’s groups instead of individuals, compromise is worse than either extreme

I just want a forum where people who are wrong are forced to acknowledge they are wrong.

[cassette]

You don’t want to do those things so you’re not invited. It’s more restrictive, not less.

[hokie]

Again speaking only for myself, given that a key consideration in creating a separate subforum was to allow folks to chat with Churchill or jalfrezi or Johnnytruant or microbet or victor or Sabo or SenorKeeed or whoever without having to worry about them being banned, it seems weird to me that people who thought those posters were the Worst Posters Ever would want to join, and I’d be skeptical of their intentions

I figured that was kinda unstated but obvious

[anon10387340]

You are in no position to give Captains anything. This forum is as much mine as it is yours. The real life politics lesson to be learned here is how the elite use power and rules and propaganda and bullying to protect themselves and exert control over others.

[Yuv]

They dont want to join, they are proving your hypocrisy. check and mate, sir.

[anon10387340]

Damn I guess he is a lying liar that lies and should probably be punished.

I worked in a shop where we just ground through people and we got the perfect guy, awkward, kind of dumb, really wants to fit in. So when the guy who worked at the automatic transmission shop across the parking lot came over I said “Tony, ask Randy if his sister’s still taking piano lessons”. Tony looks at me and I’m laughing it up and he takes the bait in the sing-songiest way possible. “Hey Raaaannnndy??? Is your sister stil taking piannnnnno lesssssons?” Randy and I had an agreement that I’d get someone to ask him that and nobody had been gullible enough to that point, so he fires back indignantly “My sister’s a quadriplegic, you fucking asshole”. There were a few bays between Randy and us and Tony was crouched down with his back to both of us. “FUCKER! Why’d you tell me to say that?!!! FUCK!” He was super pissed and repeated himself a few times. I was unable to respond due to being bent over at the waist laughing my ass off. Tony’s wife would pick him up at 6:00 in whatever the shittiest year for the Lincoln Continental was up until 1995ish. He was still a little pissed when he left, but the next morning told us when he complained to his wife about it she laughed so hard they had to go find a bathroom for her.
