I think another example of something that speaks poorly about things here … is that the TeamNegative1 thread is still in the announcements. Since the matter was decided upon there is no good reason I can see for it to remain … it seems almost childish … like the site is still sticking it’s proverbial tongue at people because somehow it “destroyed the most hated team of people” on the Internet.

Last time I checked there are still people who are clueless, if not misinformed about what happened. (We also have someone who’s made a very disturbing post on social media recently who thinks we have done TN1 a terrible wrong. About as close to making a personal threat as you can get away with.) Does this site not have the right to keep the facts in public view?

If you think that announcement should come down, please talk to Jay about it.

Jay has already publicly told me how he felt about how I felt so I take that as his final word on the matter.

I don’t think you understand what “final” means.

I do not need a dictionary education from you, thank you very much. Unless your intention is to create an issue between you and I that does not exist I am asking you politely to back off. You and Dek are not moderators either unless I missed something recently.

I said what I meant and I meant what I said. I respect Jay’s decision as it’s his board but there is nothing in the rule book that says I have to like it as well. It is only MY opinion that it is an eye sore because it does not contain all the relevant information. I’m not asking you to agree with me or my opinion. That would be stupid. If the thread stays, it stays. I don’t lose sleep over it.

Um, no. You’ve been taking potshots at me recently for no particular reason I can discern, so if you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

And this part of the forum is generally unmoderated, so you don’t get to tell me what to post and what not to post.

Now you’re Mr. Sensitive?

Relax, I was merely having a little fun, as you often do with others. So it’s not okay for me? I also didn’t tell you anything. I politely asked you to back off. There IS a difference.

I have no beef with you and I don’t want one. It would seem that maybe you’re just itching for there to be one so you can pounce with false justification.

You are the only person on this forum that I know of that can hold a grudge longer than any Mongolian Mountain woman can carry a Yak on her back.

I’m sorry your upset … if you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

Do I have to spring for a hotel suite in Vegas for you two again? 😉

Separate rooms please? I hear he snores.

Where was the fun part?

I still would prefer more general chat sections.

If there was a totally un-moderated silly fun section and a serious discussion zone (with light moderation, total ban on profanity, insults etc) I think most of the flare ups we see here wouldn’t happen.

The personal problems sections are really useful and for the most part people are respectful there.
No moderation on highly contentious topics is inviting tension. I never said I would stop reading off topic. I started posting here again because people were posting about very deep depression and suicidal thoughts etc and it felt wrong not to add my sympathy to the rest of the people posting here. Once I did that it seemed a bit daft not to voice my opinions of the rating of Terminator movies etc. But I was very nervous about doing so because when I read certain opinions that goad me I respond and get very emotionally engaged in my responses and which generates similarly emotionally charged responses with people that my responses have upset. Life it too short.

Off-Topic as it currently exists doesn’t really work well anymore and hasn’t for years.

It seems daft to me to have a whole forum category devoted to General Chat with only one section called “Off Topic” in it. Surely general chat is off topic??

Can you read English? He said HE was having fun. He didn’t say others were necessarily supposed to have fun too. Although I did find some of his post quite funny (e.g. holding grudge comparison).

Can you comprehend English? Nobody likes you and this has been stated repeatedly. Do you just enjoy being an irritation?

We proved it with a double-blind study.

I think it’s clear he jerks off every time he does so…so I’d vote yes.

We should definitely have a poll, however.

Yea, verily.

Moderated Off-Topic:

the other sections of the forum are moderated. Are they like that? And the proposal here was lighter moderation than they get.
