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

[moevillini]

Mo, although I appreciated your attempt to help, I didn't feel like it would do me any good to go around to various messages boards to see what THEIR rules were, at least if I was not planning on joining that group. My concern is with what the rules are HERE, not THERE.

AS I STATED:
...it might be HELPFUL to you to review them and follow them because for the most part, I think they apply here as well. In particular, take note of #5) Stay on topic, do not be repetitive, limit your replies, use quotes correctly.

and I did say "I think they apply here as well" so that should have been a clue that you should try to follow them, or at least review them.


In addition, why is it that you seem to be the ONLY poster having such problems? The rules seem to be clear enough for the others.


I don't know what to tell you. Perhaps you should write a blog, since you seem to have so much to say. You'd be in charge, and could make the rules. You could write whatever and as much as you wanted, use whatever format and slang you chose.

This whole thread is one giant troll.

Damn you for ruining yet another thread, Taint.

 

[Hopper]

So yes, the moderators should judge whether something was deliberate or not, when thinking about issuing an infraction for trolling.

Thank you especially for that clarification, Colton. I don't mean to be presumptous, but do you mind if I request that mods be formally notified of the proper interpretation of this rule? Like I said, there seems to be some confusion about this. Also, I would like to "suggest" that if intention to disrupt is an issue, the mods could as least ask the poster about what he was thinking. Not that they have to believe him, but again, what might seem "obvious" to a moderator might not be so obvious if they actually informed themselves about what the poster was thinking, rather than assuming they know, without inquiry.

Always a dead giveaway that the speaker is about to be extremely presumptuous.

I see it and raise you a:

Not true.

 

[One Brow]

This whole thread is one giant troll.

Damn you for ruining yet another thread, Taint.

The one thing I really hate is when a poster finds a thread with their name in the title, and actually has the nerve to post it it.

Thank you for altering your signature, BTW.

you're automatically disqualified


though maybe you and kicky can fight for the title of "wiggle room"

why the low blow, moe?

All across this great land, candyasses are rejoicing at aint's valiant stand against the tyranny of sports message board overlords. If I had magical computer powers, you would be hearing 'God Bless America' while you read this. And I'm not crying, it's just dusty in here.

HUH? What low blow? Did you read One Brow's post? He named two other posters in addition to himself and said there was "wiggle room" for one more. So that would mean Bordy and Kicky are fighting it out for that last spot.

I personally would not mind a "view only" forum for the Smart Four. Failing that, I would like to see aint, One Brow, bordy, and UB locked into one thread to discuss the cosmos in a live action think tank. Contrasting styles, a few salient points, a few irrational attempts at rationality, strategic snark, and great pictures.
