    Argh, the thread title, of course. Dunce cap for me.

    Agree that "no running to mama" should remain the rule.

    ha, this is my favorite part, which, obviously headbutt forgot to read: "If you can't take it, I strongly advise you to stay away. PMs to any of us that say, "So and so is being mean to me," from this thread will not be treated kindly. You know how some people are here - deal with them at your own risk."

    but, to quote the guy who doesn't even know what the fucking rules of this thread are:
    "Trying to clean this thread up, just a tad. You guys have been warned before. Sure, the rules here are a bit looser. But going after someone for no reason other than you don't like them still isn't permitted. Just because you don't like a poster, even if few others do as well, doesn't mean you can just jump on him for no reason."

    man, they give adults one thread, one, and it just eats away at some types of people ... isn't that right, headbutt?

    (and please, insert a moderator's word play on the word adult right here:)

    so, i just have to ask after rereading the original rule of: "If you can't take it, I strongly advise you to stay away. PMs to any of us that say, 'So and so is being mean to me,' from this thread will not be treated kindly."

    so, headbutt, if that's what happened, are you now going to send out an angry PM to whoever came crying to you instead of leaving shitty statements to everybody else on this thread, since, well, i guess you really didn't bother to read the rules concerning this thread all that well?

    and yes, it is my business and everybody else's business here, because you made it our business a page or so back.

    It absolutely should. That doesn't mean the thread is completely unmoderated, though. It's not the first time one of the mods has decided to step in because they decided that certain posters were abusing the thread.

    Sounds to me like some of you would rather assume somebody complained and whine about that rather than accept responsibility for being so obnoxious that a moderator felt he had to step in on a thread that was designed to let most shit go.

    "moral decline" prattle . . . oh, joy.

    This, from a guy who voted against the Violence Against Women act . . . slavish to the Base (and we DO mean BASE), to the core . . .

    Another smarmy smile, please.

    Bustout.
     
  10. Stop whining to Headbutt and Moddy. Stay away if you can't handle it.

    I did not whine to Headbutt and Moddy. But you and some of the other jackasses want to assume that I did to excuse your jackass behavior.

    Maybe I'm wrong and somebody else complained, but I don't think so. That's what I was trying to explain. I think some of the assholes on this board, myself included, abused what this thread was supposed to be for so badly that the mods finally decided to step in. But to accept that would be to accept that you were being assholes and some of you just aren't capable of that.

    I can own up to my part in the problem. The rest of you? Not so much.
