mirror Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 No actually I am not happy about that proposal. We are different folks here and we not the same in political persuasion, intelligence, vocabulary, command of the English language, logical argumentation, education, sophistication, etc. But one thing we need to have is tolerance for others particularly when we disagree with each other. Otherwise mapleleafweb will become a cult, resulting in no more than propaganda or brainwashing. Don't we already have enough of that in Canada's MSM? Just ignore anyone who bothers you. Instead of trying to ban him why not dialogue with him and ask him to accommodate us better. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar which I'm sure you know. Quote

Aren't you the poster who slandered me (dickhead was the term you used wasn't it?) when I called Mad Mikey on his pomposity and whinging? Ohhh, I get it. You fall back on the stereotype for conservatives as intolerant but don't actually have to be tolerant yourself. Why don't you and THELIB just play your little attack Harper games on threads nobody cares about???? Quote

See how popular your thread on harper's "failed" bbq tour is? You and mirror trading jabs at the CPC. Wow, how cool. Why don't the two of you do everybody else here a favour and just arrange to meet somewhere for a circle jerk while you exude about how great your party is????? Quote
Forum Admin Greg Posted August 17, 2005 Forum Admin Report Posted August 17, 2005 A couple of things, 1) Starting a thread that isn't centered on an political issue and it actually directed at an individual poster is against the rules and just plain stupid. Anyone ignorant enough to do it again will be taking a break from these forums. 2) Enough with the word "fascist". I'm afraid those who have been using it lately, have absolutely no idea what fascist actually means. 3) Statements such as, "Conservatives are all fascists" or "Liberals are all theives" or "NDPers are communists" will no longer be tolerated in these forums (these are just a few examples). The rule against using insults against individual posters has now been extended to include third-parties, such as nationalities, political parties, etc. 4) Give your partisanship a break when contributing to these discussions. If you're nothing more than a mouth-piece for a political party, and you're not contributing anything of value to the discussions, I reserve the right to remove you from these discussions. As I've said in the past, this isn't a democracy - no one has a right to participate in the discussions and certainly no one has the right to say whatever they want. If I have to remove someone because they're being disruptive, and uncooperative, then I will. I'm really getting tired of some of the childish behaviour in these forums. I simply cannot comprehend why some of you are unable to conduct yourself in a respectable manner. I guess I've been too lenient with the rules and now some of you think you're above the law. This is going to change however, let this be everyone's last warning. Greg Admin Quote Have any issues, problems using the forum? Post a message in the Support and Questions section of the forums.
Argus Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Excellent post - I agree with every point you raise. I thought we believed in Freedom of Speech. Some here only believe in Freedom of Speech when people agree with them. Those people are the ones that should leave. From the National Citizens Coallition topic.

Argus Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 RE::You're not a Liberal supporter. You're a troll. The site would be better off without you. If you consider me a troll because I support the Liberals The rules say Do not post inflammatory remarks just to annoy people. Starting topics is supposed to be an exercise in dialogue and discussion. Your topics - all of them, are nothing more than childish taunting of Conservative supporters. Almost every post you make is in a similar vein. If you have ever posted anything that could be termed thoughtful or insightful I certainly haven't seen it.

B. Max Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 I know you right wingers are NOT used to seeing a left wing point of view in the MSM so it probably comes as quite a shock to see it on these discussion groups. Whatever happened to free speech or is that only for the right? :angry: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The left invented hate crime laws to supress free speech. Unless it is their own of course. Quote
newbie Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Thank you Greg for reinforcing the "rules." I am just as guilty as others and will endeavour to refrain from partisan and emotional rants. Quote
Argus Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Well, my bad. I should have read to the end before posting about THELIBERAL being a troll, as that is actually against Greg's warning. I have put him and his alter ego who can't spell and admires Kim Jong Il on "ignore", the first time I've used the feature since coming here. My personality is simply too intolerant of those people mentioned in II Corinthians 11:19 to do otherwise.

I dont want to start a big fight on this topic since I do want to stay talking on this forum for a while longer.
