i figured you would, and maybe 3 or 4 others.

You should be banned for getting my obscure reference.


Loser.

:)

I don't insult ThomasGeorge. I think his posts are funny, the way he sits there with the avatar and thinks up some thread like "Post your favorite 1950's films" and then his first post in the thread is some terse order, like "get posting" or somesuch ...It's sort of endearingly lame.

Are you a tranny, you asswad?

:)

Sorry, i cant resist.

you can get banned for wanting my sweaty cock, then, queermo

:p

if we can get banned for flaming TommyGeorge, then he can get banned for spamming up the boards with his games and threads that never go anywhere or make any sense

then YOU should be spammed for hamming... banned...


hmmm.

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Point #1 All you of horror.com are silly monkeys.

Point #2 *I* am not a silly monkey. *I* exclude myself because *I* have a brain and therefore I am better than a silly old monkey.

Point #3 Why don't you run along, little silly monkeys. Take your bananas and, you know, like, eat them. Ha ha ha, Monkey, Monkey, Monkey. Ha ha ha ha ha I am superior I am the Smart Monkey ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh that was good. wwhoooo!

I bent my wookie

I can't actually respond directly to that, but if you want a definite answer, visit www.guys-with-pies-between-their-thighs.com

TG is entertaining.
Kind of like a mascot.

Actually, it was 20 minutes - half an hour tops, and not really the ENTIRE forum, I'm fairly sure I missed "true crime", "toys and props" and several others. Saying I spammed up HALF the forum would've more than accurately covered it, but thanks for the compliment.
Oh, and hey...it wasn't so much that anyone didn't LIKE my recipe, in fact, I don't think I recieved any feedback about it whatsoever, it was me over-reacting to some people kinda poking fun at how I chose to name the thread...I got a little annoyed at this, mainly because I take what I do seriously, and tend to take it personally when people jest about it.
On top of that, maybe I was having a shitty day, can't rightly say I remember but I'd assume I cant've been in the best of moods.
Excuses? No. Reason? Yes.
Now, you (or anyone else) can go and post a "crybaby" picture or something of that nature, but that's all good by me...maybe it's an insecurity issue, but I'm the first to admit that this is the first thing worth shit I've done with my life, and pretty much the only thing I can do well, really well. So if taking what I do a little too seriously falls under some kind of insecurity, it's one I'm proud to hold by the hand as my own.
Going back to my over-reaction, and subsequent actions, when I did what I did, it wasn't to "get at" anybody in particular, and may well have been a dick act, but done is done. May have been a warpath situation, and yeah, I haven't forgotten that you were involved, which is why I didn't bring up anything you've said about me, nor do I intend to...but enough is enough.
That was what, around 3 weeks ago? I came back to people insulting my in my absense, still.
The post in question was made recently, as was another I took issue with...and neither to do with the incident, just a chance to jump on the bandwagon and rip into me, for their own personal rants. No reason for it that doesn't lie distantly in the past, no provocation, nothing.
That, folks...is where I personally draw the line. It's clearly personal.

...Also, MissOlivia...I appreciated your take on the entire situation, thanks.

:)

Seems to me people just need to lighten the fuck up and not take things so seriously, but then again I've always been a hard person to offend, I know how some people can be easily offended by something that another person may only mean as a lighthearted remark.

Reading through this thread, I don't think this guy should be banned just judging on what he's said. But hey, I only joined this morning and I don't know any past history of anyone.

All i mean is that if someone is purposefully going after someone repeatedly making hateful comments towards someone without merit, and it's obviously that's he's just doing it to be rude and will continue to do it, then sure, ban him.

But really, if you are going to ban someone who just offhandedly says, "you're a loser" or slips up and tells someone THEY suck instead of their opinion, then I think thats going way too far.

It wasnt an offhanded remark, there was a history there.

Welcome to the forum :)

Thanks for the backup, vod.

Yup, that's pretty much how it is in my opinion...

It's not so much the insult in particular, but the intention, and the ongoing nature of a continuing problem that I've attempted to solve a long time prior...

Well like i said, one or two random rude comments shouldn't get anyone banned.

But if what you say is true and he's just repeatedly being rude or hateful for no reason, then yeah maybe he should be banned.

But I'm just a dumbass newbie, what do I know. :D

I think that people are just going to do shit...like everyone does. People's souls and minds aren't pure, we're all flawed. But sometimes the flaws encourage discussion, and after a little bit of fighting, everyone knows each other better...especially the claws...

MONKEY. I'm so thirsty, it's hot, so hot, could I have a drink of water, please? Please?

CRABAPPLE. Ha ha, Monkey! AAAGH! Monkey!! What's that behind you, monkey?

MONKEY. (turns around) Huh?

CRABAPPLE. (hits monkey on head with rolled-up newspaper) Ha ha ha ha!

MONKEY. (sobbing) You...you...

CRABAPPLE. Ahhh, the Good Life. It feels so nice to realize one's potential!

Run, monkey, run!!
Crabby patty is INSANE!!!!!!

Nothing. Damn newbie monkey.

dance monkey dance! :D


monkey is such a good word. Way better than crabapple.

Not as good as Crab or Apple though. weird....

Mmmm, monkeys turn me on....:o

Everything turns you on Matt.

BAN HIM!! BAN HIM!! BAN HIM!!

Q: Assuming the following is a genuine quote from just ten months ago, where might it fit into your protocol?

uhm. . . maybe its time i was leaving. . .

Everyone...PLEASE make a note of the above statement If you attack Cheeba, in ANY way, he WILL go off...It's that simple...Just DON'T do it...Would it really be that difficult just to ignore him if you don't like him?...Thank you in advance for compliance

Actually...We HAVE been blessed with that feature here...Some just choose to ignore it :p

Honestly...Zwoti does a lot more here than I do...especially since I have my hands full with the baby...He's just not as 'visible' as I am....He's the 'Ninja Mod' ;)

Baby doll, That's the usual reaction of every 'normal' person that comes to this forum...This place is NOT for everyone...We are a bit of a different 'breed' here...Those who choose to stick around, eventually begin to understand 'how we are' here...It's much more 'laid-back' than most other places...It can be an affront to the senses and sensibilities of a new person who isn't used to it

It's kinda like when a person watches a horror movie for the very first time, if they have only previously watched chick flicks, dramas, and politically correct crap...It would be shocking, intense and offensive...Know what I'm saying?

If you DO choose to leave...We will all understand why you felt you had to...

Like I said, it isn't for everyone...And not everyone can handle it, or cares enough to try to...It's actually JUST like watching horror movies :)

No...We don't HAVE to...But, it sure helps to cut down on the bullshit

Oh...We will ALWAYS have 'these types of discussions', as well as many others of this nature...As we always have, long before you even heard of Horror.com....

As for 'being nice to each other'...We CANNOT be expected to do that all of the time...Not at this forum, and not in the real world...Life just doesn't work that way...We would all be completely FAKE...

But...We LOVE opinions here...This entire forum is based on sharing opinions...I feel that if someone doesn't like someone, they should be able to say, "Damn...I REALLY don't like you"...I don't see anything wrong with that...It's HONEST...It's REAL....But, the childish, constant, personal insulting, and shit slinging is uncalled for...I can actually FEEL my IQ dropping when I'm subjected to that bullshit

That's how things have been handled up to this point...But NOW, my 'decision' has been called into question...That is why I am consulting all of you :)


Cheeba...Please read this...I want you to consider this for a second....It is your position that you were unfairly attacked, with NO PROVOCATION....I honestly believe that it's this type of action (not this SINGLE act, but this TYPE of action in general...You have been known to 'go off' a time or 2) that might give some members the 'provocation' to attack you...I'm not saying that it's right to attack you ( no one should be attacking anyone here), I'm just offering up a little 'probable cause'

You know what?...I could TOTALLY adopt that kind of attitude...I really could...I could be the biggest bitch this place has ever come in contact with...But, I don't think it's fair...And I wouldn't want someone to do it to ME

This forum would be a completely different kind of place with that type of constriction

I completely get your point, though...And I SERIOUSLY hope that everyone else here considers that, too

This is understandable...And always overlooked...No one has ever been banned for that

I urge everyone to consider that

I am hoping this thread will help us find the 'happy medium' for this exact situation

We are setting a precedent here...We have to be very careful
EXACTLY

I think that Vod's original point holds the key to this entire thing...We KNOW that thomasgeorge is okay with the prodding...Just as we also know that Cheeba is NOT

This is why 'the line' needs to be more clearly defined...We don't want EVERYONE here to end up feeling this way...Afraid to post...Afraid to speak our minds...That would suck SO bad

And therein lies the ENTIRE dilemma...It's all subjective...One man's insult, is another man's joke

How can you etch a rule in stone, when it's based on human emotion...and matters of individual interpretation and perception?

Agreed...Everyone, PLEASE read this one...If there is ANYTHING in this statement that someone disagrees with, or doesn't understand, please make it known so that it can be discussed and clarified



Wow...Ran out of room AGAIN...Last part coming up...

Applauds...Excellent...Thank you :cool:

I agree with this...And, I am this type of person, too...Especially this part "I've always been a hard person to offend"....BUT...Not everyone is the same...And we have to find a way to take that into consideration, to try to achieve some peace for the entire forum

Thanks for your input



Okay...After all of this...Here are my overall suggestions (Thanks Vod and Hammerfan)


PLEASE consider WHO you are speaking to when you make a statement, and whether or not they may respond negatively to it.....If you KNOW that the comment you intend to make WILL create a war with someone, do NOT make that comment to (or about) that person....

Some people can handle it...Some people will play along with you...Some people will hit you right back in a funny, or intelligent way...And some may hit back with the same force you give them, and THEN...let...it...go

But...Some people just have to be left alone

So, pretty much, if you know you are going to cause a shitstorm...You are fucking up...Just stop

If you throw a rock at a Poodle, it will most likely yap and whimper...But, if you throw a rock at a Rottweiler, chances are you may be eaten....So, we choose not to throw the rock...We should be intelliigent enough to figure this out...


Thank you everyone for helping out here...I seriously hope that we have accomplished SOMETHING

Thank you Cheeba for keeping it rational



So then...With that...What do we do about Murderdoll (if she shows up?)

Thats it. Prozium for everyone. Emotions are getting out of hand, so the Grammaton Clerics are putting an end to your sense offences.

That's a tough one. It is asking for special treatment to tread carefully around one member just because they say now they have special needs.

While it is perfectly reasonable to ask that the forum does not behave in an inflammitory fashion just for the sake of it, or deliver direct profane insults (despite the dubious track record of the member in question), is it reasonable to instruct that an 'attack' on this person must not happen?

This is far too open to abuse - many debates and arguments are won through attack. I think it is essential to clarify the difference between forceful opinion and personal, derogatory insults or defamation.

Maybe we should color code our comments:

Inflamitory
Kidding
Sorta Serious
You Suck
Lipstick

I was afraid that it would appear to come off that way..BUT..This is what I meant.....While we shouldn't be ripping on ANYONE, most of us take it in stride or in jest...People react differently to different situations....Cheeba has shown us and TOLD us, that he WILL go off if attacked...Therefore, the obvious solution is just to avoid that altogether...the concept isn't really that difficult to grasp...


And just as you are so lightly, yet deliberately testing what we are trying to define as 'the line'...Others are aware of THEIR intentions also.....So, have a little giggle at your cleverness, and then drop it



Unfortunately, as this thread has demonstrated...It is extremely difficult for many people to make that distinction...Because, it is based on a matter of personal feeling and tolerance levels...That is why we can only rely on personal discretion and consideration

I think we covered that already...

I don't quite understand this, but never mind.


I think you might have hit the nail on the head in that it is extremely difficult for many people in the forum to make such a simple distinction, indeed make distinctions between many things when it comes to discussion, argument and amusement. Surely most people know the difference between a strong opinion and a personal derogatory remark?

Because of the common inabilitity to speak rationally and considerately about a subject, many members will fall back on insults instead. When we say: "...but what about this?", they hear: "Your momma is a terrorist whore," and respond accordingly.

The lunatics should not be allowed to take over the asylum, and most sensible forum members would fight to keep this site adult with consideration for kids but disdain for idiots and degenerates using the place as an excuse to blow off steam.

I think there are a few things that, in all fairness, must be said:


Woot Woot!

HAIL SATAN!
HIGH PRIEST WISE!


and. . . POO NUTS!

Eh, ok, here's how I look at it. Calling someone a loser or something of the sort isn't really an attack. I call my friends on instant messenger that all the time, and neither one of us take it personally because we both know it's a joke.

If you were to say "You are the stupidist piece of sh*t to ever walk the face of the f*cking earth, and should die!", not that would be an attack.

Even simply expressing your thoughts of someone isn't really an attack either. If I said, "Hey, you are starting to become annoying", that isn't really a bad thing, it's just saying. But if someone uses that sentence like "Hey you sh*tbag! You are a f*cking annoyance!", that is bannable material.

But this is just my outlook on things, and you are also incharge of this. If I went to another forum and did something that they thought was something to ban me over, I may be confused, but I respect their descision. I'll also leave if what I think someone said towards me is wrong and they should be banned. Let them have their fun, but I will no longer be a part of it.

Anyway...

my senitments exactly

:D

I don't mean to interrupt....but I was wondering if Phalanx [ the chef formally know as Cheeba] could repost or PM me the notorious recipe that was the catalyst for the last banning.I'm serious.....I never got a chance to copy it and I wanted to try it.



As far as this topic goes...everything has pretty much been said.....you Mods seem to have your shit together now, and to that I say Kudos.

:p Nice

Good points, shitbag.


:o

Hey - look - VC attacked me with his vicious tongue smiley. . . I want him banned!

:D

LMAO!!! Wait....

Tongues can make you be banned? :eek:

What happens in real life??? :eek: :eek:

you become a rock star!
