But no, for the most part (and I mentioned a few exceptions above), we aren't going to moderate it. We're certainly not going to start untangling insults and their causation. We don't have time to do it, we don't have the desire to do it, and from our experience doing it, it solves little. It has proven to be a shit job for us with little net-benefit to the site.

So the ONLY exception you listed was the use of "multiple avatars doing the attacks". The nature, content and/or results of the attacks are not considered PERIOD, by the administration of this website?

Do you know what you're essentially telling me? That's scary dude...

Maybe it's better that people don't know this...

No, that's not what I said Squishy. There are a few other times. But...we are NOT getting into cleaning up insults. And for the most part, we are leaving it alone.

"scary"?
Most people really don't seem to care that much as long as the insults stay there. Chief sums it up nicely in his post above.

Sorry you don't like it.

I'm sorry but I went back through the whole thing and the only "mentioned a few exceptions above" I could find were the multiple avatars, so no, you did not list anything else. I would like to hear them if your willing to list them...Could you have been mistaken and thought you listed them but in fact did not? I can only assume, by your statements, that your replies have been complete...

Some things we will delete include threats of violence, illegal stuff, advertisements, etc. Sometimes we'll find other stuff that strikes us as contrary to the interests of the site, but aren't listed, and we'll delete it. I'm not going to list everything. You can read the FAQ and terms of service for more info.

I did not, repeat, did not say that was the "only" reason for moderation. That is your insertion of the word "only" into my statement.

I think I'm going to move on now...

God I hate those threads, really? Fine I'll stop then, but if you don't like it you don't have to read it....hahahahahahahahahahaha

heheh .. just giving you a look in the mirror .. what you do based on what you see is your choice

Spoken like someone that has never been to the cesspool.

Heh, I've never been to the P&P cesspool, but it doesn't take long to realize that any "general commentary" area of any internet forum is a cesspool. I've been to many, posted on many, and I just don't see the need to get all bent out of shape over what someone with the "bravado of anonymity" has to say, or argue, or even threaten. I find it's better to embrace it and run with it than try to overcome it.

Alright Squishy, feel free to nitpick me. I'm sure everyone else finds it enthralling.

Yes, that's the point of debate...isn't it?

Well, there you have it. I was initially under the impression that you wanted a logical solution, not one based on squirmy rhetoric.

I believe that would be squishy rhetoric.


Oops, sorry, don't mean to add fuel to flames... Where are those damn llamas when you need them.....

Someone called ?



Sometimes we all need to have our hands held and be told everything's gonna be OK

squishy wrote:Did I get that right?

Nope, you forgot the Llama photo.

Now, that is some gooood llama

Squishy, if a Llama attacked you, would you take it personal?

Whatever the llama did, he would argue with it.

Yep, that's it and it reflects life as a whole very well.

Yeah - I basically agree with people I have never seen.
Just words floating around in a foggy Cyberspace.

But my question remains - why must we FOLLOW other people into the TOILET

Ah, the good old days

Now that p & p is gone, it would seem that the abusive behavior continues in Site Feedback.

I'm not suggesting that p & p be restored -- rather, that the abusers should get what's coming to them. Rules are rules, and all that.
