Argus Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 56 minutes ago, OftenWrong said: If the web site is crap to you or whatever, I don't see how a thread like this helpful. I've seen where you yourself have posted back and forth with these guys many, many times. All of hat stuff, I would never read. And now you come up with this to complain about it? You haven't seen me posting with Dougie for a while since I put him into my ignore file shortly after he arrived. The other one can be a sane poster when he's not joining in with Dougie in his inane off topic shit. 56 minutes ago, OftenWrong said: What exactly is the point of this thread anyway? Because I felt like it. 56 minutes ago, OftenWrong said: Frankly it appears to be more of the same stupid back-and-forth that's out there. Sure. But it's stupid back and forth that's ON TOPIC! 56 minutes ago, OftenWrong said: Want to improve forums? Post serious, intelligent stuff and not respond or interact with anyone you consider "idiots". Just my two cents here, fella. That's what I do, which is why a number of idiots here are in my ignore file. But it gets annoying when ever serious, intelligent discussion gets sidetracked by some lunatic talking about unrelated nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pisses me off that turningrite was suspended and might never come back because those two feeble minded twerps were ragging on him. We lose serious members because of all the brainless shit from the likes of these two, Taxme, Hatespoliticians, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only libertarian thing you know is that they're in favour of you getting high. And it sure looks like you do most of your political posturing that way.

The forum ought to do what is in the best interests of the forum community. If you've got a pair of assholes shitting all over the floor then people won't want to come in and sit down to have a chat. They'll hold their noses and move on. So the best thing to do is get rid of the assholes - or at least make them wear diapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 We didn't suspend Turningrite, he just kept fabricating that people were attacking him when they simply disagreed with him, he was actually accusing eyeball of attacking him, we simply said "it's not an attack on you", then he flipped out and started attacking us, so we told him that was bullshit too. Then he finally stormed off after he repeatedly threatened to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been paying much attention to the site recently, but this post best explains why I posted the cartoon. I bow to no-one in my support of freedom of speech and expression, even unto the grossest offence, but I'm not letting someone into my house if I don't like them. I doubt they would have much of a case for censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 This is not your house. If you think you can control a forum by clique, you're being silly. If we wanted to jack your forum, we would bring an army of trolls, but we're just hanging out and shooting the breeze, we have no desire to take your forum from you, at this juncture at least.

Oh, ffs. I had no idea you had an army of trolls. Given about half of your posts seem to come from a random word generator, that's not surprising. My point speaks to the absolute lack of understanding that some people seem to have regarding what freedom of speech actually means . They think it applies to them only. It doesn't. This site has as much freedom to show you the door as you have to shit on the floor. It's not my house, but it's somebodies. Here's a suggestion. Start a club.

Dougie93 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I mean, there's so much America bashing on this forum, do you really think that Bush_Cheney is the only American who would take exception? We could just start linking this forum to people we know, and you would have a couple dozen Americans in here who are way more confrontational than we are.

Boo hoo too bad so sad. Turningrite was just about the most moderate and polite poster here. I think he was startled by the mockery and insults because he hadn't really encountered it before. He overreacted to it for that reason. Why he was suspended, I couldn't say. Charles doesn't tell us these things, but it was certainly over his reaction to your juvenile antics. And as a poster his contributes were far above anything you and your bumboy have managed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And their posts would be deleted and they and YOU would wind up being banned. There is 'some' America bashing. So what? It's a Canadian forum. The difference between the people who bash America (most of which is bashing that idiot Trump) and Bush Cheney is that these people don't go on American forums to bash Americans. BC comes onto a Canadian forum to bash Canadians. Which is why he's a troll and in my ignore file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not prohibited by the terms and conditions. Dude, I defend America from being bashed if it's being bashed unfairly. I'm very pro-America in most ways. That doesn't mean i don't recognize the inherent flaws in their system, the level of corruption unregulated money brings to politics, or the inefficiency and stupidity of certain practices. Quote Clearly it doesn't take much more than disagreeing with the clique here to troll the clique here, the clique here trolls itself, simply by trying to stomp out dissent. The forum loves dissent, if the disagreement is intelligently put and on topic. If it weave back and forth like a drunken sailor spewing his evening meal all over the furniture then the forum tends to get huffy.
