Guerrier, I´m afraid you´re a big prick with small dick, really. Why the fuck you don´t reply, when you´re asked by the admin? Even if you don´t like him. You try to be funny (probably) with your smartass comments, but the fact is, I´m afraid, you´re not. Nobody forced you to like this establishment (i.e. Medusa). Criticism is no problem - if it´s reasonable, and it can help something. Yours is this differend kind - unconstructive, unhelpful, just shit-stirring. Either say what´s your problem here, and how you would like it to be solved, or shut up.

I myself don´t find swearing so bad, it should be forbidden in the rules, for example - but that doesn´t mean I´ll start bombarding DzM with shit. I can either say it, or I can live by the rules. Or I can leave, of course (I know I didn´t show these three here, but generally I do).

By the way, DzM, on several other fora, I saw kind of "court" - if someone felt that someone else should leave the forum, he started a thread in "Court" subforum - and moved these parts of text, which caused problems, there. And then, moderators (or even ordinary people with x+ posts for example) voted, if the "bad" person should be banned. What about doing it here too? It could help with certain kind of problems.

If freedom of speech means anything at all, it is the freedom to say things that people do not want to hear. :wink:

Ever the philanthropist and philosopher. Did you write that quote, SF? I like it.
“But I being poor, have only my dreams. I lay them at your feet...Tread softly; for you tread on my dreams.”

When was any kind of critism here constructive? Absudist or otherwise. *buries head in sand*

In spite of which, Gurrier - you are a complete spanner!


Using that logic, this messageboard has taught me many things about myself. For example, how to recognise the double standards amongst it's "upper echelons"

A spanner? Yes. Solely? Not particularly. "...in the works"? Definitely

Guys, we have a very smart arse moderator here who has no regard for human decency. I posted an irrelevant comment about a shopping trolley here a few days ago (it was not off topic, as this is the acceptable topic thread) and it was yesterday moved into the life sucks thread, where discussion is happening about derelict's very sick wife. The conversation happening there was very serious and no place for dumb jokes at this point. I have been made to look like I have no regard for the serious conversation, as though I posted a piece of shit there deliberately. Gurrier has far more decency than whoever shifted my post. This moderator is provoking incident after incident and some of you are totally blind to it, you're too busy sucking up to pay attention.

Yeah, it´s a giant conspiracy against poor jenny. Come one - do you really think that moderators want to provoke a fight, when they can ban you?

But maybe you´re right - your posts often look like they relate to different stuff, not to the topic...I thought you were weird, but it may be a fault of cruel mods, that´s true :shock:

Moderator? Here I was thinking it was the saucer people, rand corporation, reverse vampires, and the illuminati making you seem like you have 'no regard for the serious conversation'

In fairness, Derelict saw fit to address the latest news about Mrs Derelict's illness in the Life Sucks thread voluntarily, and I can well imagine how that must have seemed like absolutely the right place for it then and, perhaps, still.

Well Pyro, why do you think that my post was moved to such an inappropriate thread? What is your answer? And I noticed that in the Hogs thread, when posts were moved recently, Zuzana posted the reason and where it had been moved to. That same consideration is not given to everyone. Pyro, you just called me weird (for what reason, you don't know me) and you were very offensive to Gurrier as well. Don't know why you can't discuss things like an adult instead of resorting to name calling.

Yes it was the right place for it. And the right place for my glib little trolley comment (I didn't even go shopping to have a bad trolley,) was surely on the Acceptable Topic Thread, not stuck in the middle of a serious conversation.

Given that the Acceptable Conversation thread is a mere infant, it is at best debatable that this is the right place for it. In contrast, my impression of the Life Sucks thread is that it can accomodate all manner of grievances, from the peevish to the life-threatening. This is not post-modernist crap, the very phrase "Life Sucks" has an umbrella meaning all its own. Nobody thinks the less of you because your peev got caught on the thorns of someone else's sound-off.
