The Banishing of Woodruff?

[jgordon1111]

like happens people.... I mean real life.. taht which most of you have never experienced.

woodruff is a teacher of men. I do not care his views.. his personality, he has a profession deemed by my gods as most honorable.... you other have chosen your paths.

Leave him alone ye men of little.

That word you posted is so serious one can't even write it as a typo on this website. Just sayin'.

the problem here seems to be that you can dish it out, but you can't take it.

if you're genuinely offended by the fact that i used the word "faggot" for the sake of illustrating an example (which wasn't even addressed at you) then you need thicker skin.

that is, provided you actually were offended (which you weren't, you're just pretending to be offended again so that i can receive more punishment. reminds me of my little sister back when she was 6.)

Whether or not I'm offended is immaterial. The precedent has been set. If you're allowed to call people that word, we all are. Do the mods want people running around calling each other that word? Am I allowed to call people that word as often as I want? Are the people who have been banned for it going to have those bans "stricken" from their record and be issued an official apology?

the word itself isn't bad. that's why it isn't automatically censored like "f*ck" is.

like most words, the offense arises when it is used intentionally in order to hurt someone's feelings. i was using it for the sake of example, without the intention of hurting any feelings. it's that simple.

Oh, and besides, if I were to post a thread about how all members of the Tea Party are that word, I guarantee I'd be hearing it from the mods. So you saying all people with a name that starts with the letter "d" is no different. We're not allowed to call people that word. I can't believe john9blue isn't banned for this yet. How long did it take for the mods to banish whitestazn88 when he posted some "no-no" words in a fashion that was clearly not intended to insult anyone?

Actually, the word filter for "f*ck" is just there as a phpbb default and has nothing to do with CC policy. As evidence, observe how this thread will not be locked: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=168256

Is the point of this that just using a word can get you banned? Since it has been edited by the mod I have no idea what was there. Don't say it though.

[pimpdave]

People have received a live chat ban for writing, as a typo, the abbreviation of the word john9blue used. Meaning, even an accidental use of that word was considered major infraction territory. john9blue used it as a flame, which clearly shows intent. Since whitestazn88 was banned on the major infraction level and didn't even use it as a flame, I really don't see how it could be equal enforcement of the rules to let john9blue get off, although I'm sure there are mods right now arguing that it's somehow my fault and john9blue is not at all responsible for his own actions.

Even though that same special dispensation is never granted to me. Consider that jimboston was not banned for spamming the shit out of a thread with images in a thread where I was doing the same, nor were the people who were purposefully derailing that thread and necessitating my reset of the thread with an image dump called to account for what they did.

So the lesson I learned that day (and had to spend six months pondering) is that it is not trolling and baiting to discuss politics in any way shape or form and it's completely within the rules to post ad nauseum in a thread to get it to the next page just so long as it isn't the same photo. One can say the same thing over and over if it's differently constructed sentences, but thematically similar, that's fine. I understand that those people did nothing wrong and I was responsible for breaking a rule by posting photos, despite however pure my intentions were (to get the thread back on topic).

I can believe it. But I can agree with you on that. I believe wherever you go though, there will be inequality. Sometimes you get the mercy and sometimes you don't. I have seen a lot from you that I haven't seen any repercussions for, and from others. You just have to know what mood the mods are in. Get a calendar and mark what part of the month you notice the most grief and the most bans.
Of course we could all just behave ourselves and have a boring forum. There is a reason all of these people hang out in the Tower of Babble.

[john9blue]

you're trying too hard dave.

i wasn't flaming anyone in particular. i was using an example that was just as bad as what you do on a regular basis.

[pimpdave]

I'm not the one on trial here, kentington, and I have broken absolutely no rules since I got back from my most recent six month stint for calling Woodruff an idiot and a jackass (after, mind you, several months of him constantly calling me far worse). The few times I've edited my posts recently I did out of kindness and sympathy, not because I was compelled to do so.

The mods are debating whether to ban you?

Just tell them you wont post more than 50 threads in a week and they will let you off on parole.
My attempt to bring humor in.

right. how stupid do you think we are?

[Ray Rider]

Seriously guys, you're both looking childish now. Pimpdave, you've gotten more people banned than anyone else I know, so having a pity party about your ban is silly. J9B, shame on you for falling for his trolling yet again. He knows how to push your buttons; quit giving in to it. And edit your post before you get banned too

[whitestazn88]

I'm just saying, i never called anyone a man, and I got banned for that.

So... is just posting man enough to get you banned? If that's the case... well... you know... it's a major ban...

But I mean, I completely understand talking shit about pimpdave, he is kind of an animal. But insinuating that he's a man is way out of line, especially considering precedents about using the word man on this forum. (Oh wait, am I going to get banned for this too?)

[whitestazn88]

Do i need to add that I'm being sarcastic and that I don't actually think that pimpdave is an asshole, and that in fact we're actually internet friends? Or is that going to go right over everyone's heads that are reporting me?

[BigBallinStalin]

I'm reporting you for both comments, just in case.

I reported all the posts ITT to double-down for a safe and secure posting environment of CC.

[kentington]

Is this post sarcastic or the first one?
Second, if I report you can we be internet friends?

I reported one person once and since then I haven't cared enough to report because it is just the internet. Everyone has their opinion even Islamophobes.

I went through your entire posting history and have reported every single one. You just don't know these days. We need a secure and safe posting environment on CC.

I've decided to join your coalition and I reported all of my posts too. I can't be sure but I might have trolled all of my posts. I'll let the mods decide, they'll know what to do.

Excellent. Now all we need to do is report everyone else's posts everywhere everytime. If we want a safe and secure environment, then we need to be pro-active.

Attack the evil before it attacks us! AH-HA!~
