<br>If the consensus is that the discussion of politics should be resumed, I'm all for it. Let's just not try to lose too many fragging buddies (remember, every bit of meat counts). <p><SRA>/v/ahatma</p><i></i>

Hahahaha,<br><br> That is funny this need to be able to cuss on CG! For the record, I only blocked 8 words. I turned the kick feature off but it won't take effect until I reboot the server which has run solid for a week now so I'm not going to reboot it till it crashes. So now that I think about it, I added a word to the no no list a couple days ago that hasn't been blocked yet. That means I've only blocked 7 words so far. LOL. So in short, I bent a little but didn't break. You won't get kicked next time maybe but the no no words aren't going to return just yet. Sorry! In a study I heard about that monitored cussing, it was proven that people become even more mad when they cuss. Interesting.<br><br>Hermskii <p></p><i></i>

I noticed that when people cuss here, they usually use substitute letters like in Mah's last post or the one where blondie was cussing Metal. Example F*cking, @sshole etc. This is funny because no one has ever asked people to refrain from using foul language here. Schwantz has pretty much left the doors open and everything goes here. I doubt kids would ever frequent this forum as much as they would my server and yet the only words I block on CG are the ones I asked people not to use there because children I know may be playing. Could/should a respect comparison be made here. I ask that people don't cuss on CG and they do, and people are free to cuss here and they don't. I think my reasoning for my request is fair. What is your reasoning for not cussing here? This question goes to everyone on the forum except one or two that I've seen cuss here but I've never seen cuss at CG's. Really! Think about this for a sec. Jester is the only kid I know of who comes here. I can name 5-6 that play at CG. So why would anyone be willing to cuss on CG against my wishes and yet be careful not to cuss here where they are free to do as they please. Wow! This actually makes me want to put the other 33 no no words back on the no no list and turn kicking back on without kick warnings. Hmmm? I want some feedback here. Someone explain it to me.<br><br>Hermskii <p></p><i></i>

All I know is, I get kicked when I use the word "assume." I recognize why the program might see that as a dirty word.... but if "those" words are to be eliminated I wonder if there is a way to limit it to THOSE words only.<br><br>cf <p></p><i></i>

LMAO Herm. Actually, we tweak the letters on your server because if we spell them correctly we get the hilarious "CONNECTION FAILED" message, lol!!!<br><br>I think in the heat of battle we like to let fly the expletives "shit!" or "damn!" or make some untoward reference to "ass." <br><br>However, in quiet conversation, we like to temper the edge those words might have.<br><br>It's totally about context, not about you, nor law/freedom.<br><br>That's just my guess.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><SRA>/v/ahatma</p><i></i>

I did in fact lock the second one. Just so the combatants can take a breather. <br><br>Let's get back and focus on the real important issues like cussing on CG, Linux servers versus Bill Gates servers, Mah's move north to Seattle by Xmas, Torpid's flat ass and last but not least armadillo incest in Arkansas.<br><br>Father Schwantz<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><br>ps..

Metal:<br><br>I'm sorry that you feel this way. I stated earlier that Mah and I locked the threads to hopefully allow some breathing room. I fully intended to unlock them down the road but in my view, I've seen these continually escalate well beyond the initial misunderstanding/comments. There is nothing stopping you from starting a new thread, in fact I will unlock the two threads now, if this is what you want. <br><br>I'm not sure what that will accomplish as I'm sure CF or someone else will respond and it will continue to escalate. <br><br>I'm saddened that this issue now has become a situation where a member of the SRA "family" wishes to leave home. <br>This forum has been a place of refuge from the madness of the workplace (remember, I'm now a public servant) and from the stresses of life in general. I didn't think that adminning and modding this forum would be so contraversial and increase the "hassle factor" level.<br><br>Where's Dr. Cathy or Dr. BPunk?

<br>I AM ASKING ALL MY THREADS I HAVE STARTED BE DELETED. Extend that courtesy to me please. Since both threads were closed without giving me the dignity to respond to cannon's insults I will have no part of this anymore. Some people mistake this forum for law, which not only it isn't, its a place to joke around. Since inflection is impossible even in the best of literature, and sarcasm is a weapon I have never figured out in text, I refuse to let my inability to speak clearly via text open me up to being insulted by idiots (look at that...my first DIRECT insult!) who are no more intelligent than myself! This is what abstract thought has gotten me. Too bad no one saw the underlying message...DO GOOD! My apathy at our ability as humans to do so obviously overrid that ideal and thusly made me 'spout off' the way I did. I shouldn't expect my despair over our ability to use good judgement be something that could have been read from all the indirect comments I made.<br>Unfortunately EZ board will not let me delete my account and says I just have to stop responding...which I am now doing. <br>There were words of stopping blatantly racist or bigoted threads , which I have NEVER been a part of. The fact you dont like what I say and choose to not let me respond is thanks enough.<br><br>GOODBYE <br><br>p.s. forego the pleas not to leave....I will have no part of it <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><SRA>//\ETAL//\AN<br><br>www.marshallhoyt.com<br><br>Humanity is a plague unto itself....save the planet, kill yourself!!!</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub44.ezboard.com/bschwantzsredeemerarenaserver.showUserPublicProfile?gid=ivietalivian@schwantzsredeemerarenaserver>IVIetalIVIan</A> at: 4/11/03 11:06:30 am<br></i>

<br>Metal<br><br>If it helps any, I saw that your basic message was "Do Good." I think others may have been reacting to the contradictions generated between this message and the (to my mind, hilarious) misanthropy. In literature as in this discussion, such a contradiction can produce both pathos and a kind of hostile bathos. Obviously, the latter has prevailed here.<br><br>You are taking all this too personally, and others have taken what you said too personally as well. Don't sweat it so much. The least misanthropy can do for us is give us some distance from the amusingly absurd theatre of misunderstanding.<br><br>If you choose to go, no one will stop you. I doubt your posts will be deleted, because that would make the deleter an accomplice in your slamming of the door, which we are trying to prevent.<br><br><br> <p><SRA>/v/ahatma</p><i></i>
