The Official Welcome Back Rasp/Trout and Hopper/Taint Thread

[C l u t c H 385]

Tough while online, eh? You're unemployed, live in the woods, a hippy, have terrible personal hygiene, and you were adopted. Your mother doesn't even love you.

Well, it makes sense then...where else could he be tough?

 

[Archie Moses]

You got a problem with adoption?

No, I'm just making a point that GVC's mom doesn't love him. Do you have a problem with me?

I'm the one who will, probably within a matter of days, be permanently banned. Of course those consequences are of a little more import to me than to than to someone who is doing the banning by imposing school marm rules so that they can stay here and rid the board of someone who disagrees with them on gay marriage, etc.

To quote Kicky, from the first page of this thread: "You received no warning points for the block quoting issue. I would think that would make the answer to your question [of whether you got a warning] relatively obvious."

Why are you so paranoid about getting permanently banned over something that you haven't even received a warning about? Sheesh. And it takes three moderators to vote on an infraction, so it's not like kicky and moe can gang up on you about the quotation issue.

(And for the record, I'm also very much against gay marriage. I'm not sure why you would even think you are being targeted for your views on that topic.)

Who's "changing the rules" here, exactly, eh, Mo? I read, and agreed to comply with, the site rules when I signed up. I have not violated those rules, to my knowledge. It's the mods who are "changing the rules," willy-nilly, on an ad hoc basis, as they go, for the purpose of dictating style, not substance, so they can threaten banishment for using quotation marks or some other petty matter of form (like not addressing separate issues in separate posts).

I'm pretty sure these rules have existed in nearly the exact form from day 1 (or almost day 1) on the new board, and for several years on the old board:

To wit:

Trolling: Deliberate attempts to disrupt the usability of the boards will be considered trolling. These include (but are not limited to) comments made solely to provoke reactions, bizarre formatting of posts, extremely large images, many new threads started right after each other, etc. Depending on the severity of the trolling, the single strike policy may be enacted.

The "many new threads right after each other" might be a new item in the rules--I don't remember it from the old board--but I'm nearly certain the "bizarre formatting of posts" item has been in there for a long time.

When I come here, log on, and begin to view threads/posts, is it strange that I find these "hopper complaining threads" easily the most entertaining part of the Jazzfanz experience?

Explain the "point". And be aware that I have two adopted sons.

Colton, there's one thing I meant to ask you before, and it would senseless for me to try to ask it now by going back and "adding to" a post made pages back. If you recall, after recounting my consultation with Eric for you, I said:

He was sincere, and he certainly has a viable basis for reading it that way, if you ask me.

Now your initial statement was this:

That's completely false, and One Brow knows it.

Do you even realize that you have just publicly called One Brow a deliberate liar? Do you even care?

Granted, you went on to add:

Or should know it.

Even this qualification suggests a reckless disregard of the truth by One Brow, as I read it. Why do mods and admins feel that resort to this kind of "defense" of their action is merited and required, I wonder?

I went on to observe:

That's part of the problem around here. Just because the mods know what they have in mind when they write something ambiguous, they feel it's wholely warranted to insist that EVERYONE reading it knows exactly what they meant. They seem to have NO conception of how their "declaration" might be perceived by a reader without the gift of mind-reading powers. Perhaps they should express themselves more clearly, respond to questions, when asked, etc. rather than insist that everyone KNOWS what they mean when they don't even say it.

Do you even see the question (problem)?

Dodge ball line, bro, dodge ball line. Vince Vaughn yells it at the girl scout after they beat his team in their first dodge ball match. Quote of the movie, imo. I have three adopted sisters btw.

I always wondered why your kids were so good looking.

Got it. My bad.

You're saying my wife couldn't contribute to good looking kids? WTF?

Well, my sincere thanks for that input, Colton, but it's really not very helpful, I'm afraid. Can you tell me in what way the post(s) I have received infractions for constitute "bizarre formatting?" I have honestly never understood how they could possibly be interpreted as such.

Frankly, you're an ugly dude. Your wife could be Heidi Klum and your kids would still be uglier than a sack of sasquatch bush clippings.
