Member Suspension Appreciation/Depreciation Thread

[BigMac]

Calling someone ''senile'', a ''wanker'' and asking them if they're incontinent is just not alright. Can we for once adress the issue and people who are offensive instead of blaming the victim for being ''too sensitive''? You can't just go throwing that crap around. It's not part of the free-speech bundle. Now, people don't need to learn to accept offense - people need to learn not to offend*, or offend and expect to be punished for it. That said, I don't know why you'd chose the latter on a place with clear-cut rules against it.

*offense as in gratuitous insulting.

Run with pee-pee pants to the suits when somebody returns serve. Pathetic, but what's new?

It is very obvious and I'm surprised that it was not caught by some here.

Well rules are the rules. And baiting is also a rule.

Then again like you said rules are rules.

Aphro broke the forum rules and insulted - therefore he gets a vacation. Simple.

But what some were pointing out was there is some down right clever baiting and trolling going on. Just asking for someone to reply then he reports.

 

[kwikki]

Eh voila. As if by magic they appear. Entirely predictable nasty behaviour too. Piss pants?

'Very clever baiting" eh? Nah. Just posting a POV in a thread. You are free to ignore it if you've no interest.

Pretty telling that you don't.

This thread most certainly is not here so you can have petty arguments. So stop it

What's petty is a silly ban. 'Because you can' is also weak sauce.

Are you Red Rick?

If you can't handle the back and forth of the US politics thread then feel free to avoid it. Almost unbelievably, the world is not quite as sanitary as you might wish it to be.

And besides, there's a mod who patrols, regularly posts and does an outstanding job. No need for more.

 

[BigMac]

You'd be surprised to know that for many, calling somoene else ''senile'', a ''w***ker'' and asking them if they're ''incontinent'' doesn't qualify as [acceptable] back and forth, regardless of the topic. Moreover, it's really only back and forth if the other person is in it too, tit-for-tat, right? Same terminology, same page, know't I mean? Apparently everything goes there, so I can't really blame you. Seems like a cultural thing.

Also, you talking about the admin who calls himself the ''rogue mod''? That one? K.

 

[Netserk]

Sorry, BigMac, but this is just begging for a (political incorrect) joke about your avatar.

If only the left hand was a little bit lower...

That would be the 'rogue mod' that exclaimed that he would no longer spend his free time perusing the fine pages of the CN Forums, yes...

There was an insulting post by Patricknd in this thread that's now gone, so I'm guessing that's the reason for that one.

ScottSoCal was involved in the same discussion I think so it's probably that too.

It's very easy to spot what happened when they don't delete the quotes. Last post on the prior page:

Run with pee-pee pants to the suits when somebody returns serve. Pathetic, but what's new?

....fine turn of a phrase in there eh...real fine....

Cheers

Pretty obvious that Scott's post would be deleted eventually.

edit: btw it seems like they didn't delete the post, but moved it to the vault so that it isn't gone forever.

What kwikki incident?

 

[kwikki]

I've pm'd you. Let's not clog the thread anymore. It's been dealt with correctly and expeditiously by the mods.

 

[RedheadDane]

Errr... what happened to my - slightly teasing - post pointing out the difference between a rogue mod and a rouge mod?
You did accidentally write rouge at first, right Dan?
I did make that post?

Yep, and I want to tell you thanks so much for pointing out my simple spelling error, I really appreciate it when people do that.

Since I fixed my spelling error your comment didn't make much sense anymore so I removed it.

I know you were just trying to be funny.

....excuse me, but you are not the arbitrator of what goes on here ( gee where have I heard that kind of thing before ?...oh yeah, though in this case its quite fitting ...and btw some would see your post as quite quintessentially hypocritical...though I mean that in the good sense... )....and please don't try to pass off your opinion as fact, it most definitely is not...

Cheers

 

[kwikki]

Whatever.

Re:

....whatever ?.....wow....you respond with whatever, the hallmark of dismissive arrogance....coming from someone who rails on about the arrogance you perceive in others, that is rich, very rich....

...you know it just occurred to me why you went after Aphro, you can't be the arrogant know-it-all you want to be around him....the little game you probably resort to at every opportunity just doesn't work here with Aphro....because when you launch one of your trademark posts, laden as they are with mostly threadbare second-rate ideas that would normally floor those around you, Aphro just cuts you to the ribbons your postings deserve....and in so doing he exposes you for what you are....and you really don't like that do you....you want to perceived as sharp and witty and the smartest guy in the room....but you simply can't do that with Aphro around, and to add insult to injury he doesn't suffer fools gladly....

....yup, whatever....whatever, indeed....

....have a nice day ( and I mean that in the good sense )...

FYI:
kwikki quit the forum and won't be back (unless of course he assumes another handle again). He blames me for being a bully, treating other members in a more favorable light than him and being biased. All of which I disagree with but hey, whatever...
