BC_chick Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Gawd, all the outrage and whining because someone called someone a name! You'd think that had never happened before here! Maybe you sensitive souls should be on another web site somewhere where nanny can protect you all. Hell, I've been called names here too often to even remember. Not that any of you were outraged about THAT. And no, you aren't going to be told what the mods do. And no, it won't show on his name. They have a very long history of not disclosing individual punishments. Don't like it? Tough. The irony here is astounding. It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine." Bill Nye on Alberta Oil Sands
WestCoastRunner Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 We are in the Moderating thread, and I am discussing your behaviour. If that crosses the threshold of calling someone a troll, then I am guilty I guess. Still it's funny how you can't see that you were breaking the rules. When you were warned for calling people trolls, I expect you were surprised then too. BTW, female perspective should be thought of no higher than male. Rules are rules, and it's funny how the females want special consideration here, because they are female! But I'm sure you just want to be treated equal the rest of the time. Females are in the minority on this forum. Go Norma Rae! I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou

Argus Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) The irony here is astounding. I'm pretty sure you've called me names in the past. I know WCR has. Report it and get over it.

And it has been reported, and I'm sure it will be taken care of as Shady forgot that at MLW we have to make our insults more indirect, and resort to snide, snotty language instead of directly telling people what we think of them. Blunt language is not acceptable. If we think someone is a (*$@ we have to couch that in sneers and generalizations dontchaknow. He must have been having a bad day IRL or something. It happens.

Argus Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) You are defending his statements? Nope. Having gone and looked at the thread I really don't know why he blew up like that. BCC wasn't saying anything particularly shocking or anything. Was it possible he really admired Nancy Reagan and was deeply offended at the thread hijacking? It was hijacked, btw, by the discussion over how to teach kids about drugs. I don't think BCC intended to do that, and I know I rolled my eyes at the "just say no" thing back in the days too. Still, 6 pages of discussion about kids and drugs followed.

It was hijacked, btw, by the discussion over how to teach kids about drugs.It wasn't hijacked. We were having an open discussion on Nancy's deeply felt policies.

As I said, he must have been having a bad day or something to come out with that, and for very little cause. But yes, it was hijacked. Instead of discussion about Nancy Reagan's life and death it was all about how to teach your kids about drugs, which is at best peripherally related to that just say no thing back in the day. None of us know what the rest of us are going through on any given day in real life, but it will certainly influence what we post here.

poochy Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Are progressives so used to being sheltered that when they insult a woman on the day she dies they dont expect to be called out for being totally without class? I mean you really thought that wasn't going to get a response? It's pretty clear you exist in a space where you're so used to having silly thoughts and not having them challenged.
BC_chick Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 I mean you really thought that wasn't going to get a response? A response is one thing.

I don't agree with Shady's outburst, but I can understand it........I could almost fathom the rudeness in the Thatcher thread several years ago........but Nancy Reagan? Patti Reagan didn't agree with her parents either, but I assume with both their passing she was able muster as measure of respect(and maturity).......despite Nancy Reagan's parenting skills (or lack there of) and refusal to teach her daughter how to freebase cocaine.......
msj Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 By that measure, I trust the latest thread will be locked? Implying that someone from the political realm is full of poop in a humorous way is hardly insulting. It's a freaking joke. Why not challenge my post within the thread instead of trying to stifle discussion over here? Or, why not simply report me for my douche baggeryness and get me suspended! If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

BC_chick Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 I think I was quite clear about teaching kids about hard or soft drugs (vs all drugs bad) and not how to 'freebase cocaine'.
