Haha funny post! As to the bolded part, he actually can tell someone their opinion is wrong. He can and he did. Then again you really could also post your view and opinions on the 'pig, I would find that interesting reading!

I like him, even if he doesn't agree with me sometimes...

People can disagree me without it altering my overall opinion of them

There i fixed your bolded part for you and made it a little larger to drive home my point...

Just because you dont like it doesnt mean that its wrong, it means that you dont like it.

If its wrong and you have factual evidence its wrong, thats a different story, but because arpigs only dislike of RFs opinion is it doesnt match his, it doesnt hold to the true style of debate.

My point being he can say/write whatever he wants. That is the point.

julia glad you like Arpig, like I care.

Ooooo ooooo I have it...awry! How's that? Would that satisfy your delicate little PC sensibilities?

Sorry RF, old bean, let me rephrase my post to you so it is in accordance with SpiritedRadiance's new rules of acceptable communication.

I thought the "good old days" were anything but, allowing trolls to run riot (although it's still a fairly troll-rich environment even now)

Have you considered the possibility that your ability to recognize an internet troll so readily is due to the similarity between yourself and said internet trolls.

You are of course entitled to your own opinion. Your views on this topic have been noted, as has the fact that those views are, in my opinion, based on many hours of exhaustive research by the best team available, more than just somewhat awry. So much so that one might even be tempted to say mistaken or erroneous.

Because you really dont want to hear my views and opinions about yourself and your recent posts...

You really shouldn't assume anything of the sort, I might be so egocentric that the thought of post after post all centered on me would be the best thing imaginable. Or I may actually have a humiliation kink, and am sitting here, pecker in hand, just waiting for you to tell me.

Or maybe I just don't give a damn. Have at me, I'm sure anything you have to say is nothing I haven't been told before.

Edited to add, my entire point is that we can disagree with people and not take it personal... I did not think you cared about my likes and dislikes.

Kinda surprised me, I never took you for the type of poster that took words out of context to jab a person....

I dislike some people and their opinions. It wasnt directed at you. You try so hard it is endearing. I like you julia no worries.

i absolutely hate it when people get all uppity and start going "omgz ur tewtally a twoll."
i mean come on. if what you have to say can't carry it's own weight without insulting someone else, maybe it's not worthwhile to say it?

Over time, the moderation has become less heavy handed and I like that trend.

As a group we can be quite hard on new posters, and I include myself in that. These days I put the obvious trolls on hide and do my best to ignore those who are not really interested in an actual conversation or debate.

BTW: Putting someone on hide is not only incredibly easily, it's very easy to undo as well. So you really don't have to worry about thread continuity.

Now, can I see myriads of ways I would change or fix or improve this side of CM? Sure I can. I enjoy the forum despite some obvious flaws. And I figure as soon as I become an owner or a paid member, I can trot out my opinions on the subject.

The direction of motion of this thread is hilarious. And yet sad. Wahlarious.

I think the enforcement of "no personal attacks" should be dialed up. The type people I find most interesting are not joining and sticking around. There are objectively better discussions elsewhere. I would be fine with freezing out several regular posters here. The clicks they contribute do not make up for the ones lost. The disparity in conversation about the lesbian sex war thread I started was dramatic. The Fet thread was PhD quality, and the cm thread was third grade.

A lot of people have been here too long, and think they own the place, and can say whatever, whenever, and it will cost at most a week in the penalty box. The problem the site is facing is not that people are leaving; it is that new people are not sticking.

I always wonder about the people who complain about this site while comparing it to Fet. Apparently Fet is wonderfully moderated, the quality of discussion is learned and erudite, and nobody swears or ever takes jabs at other posters.

My question is, why do you spend time here with our grade school intellects, blatantly biased moderation, and all the endless personal attacks and childish insults? Why, if Fet is so obviously superior, do you waste your time here with us morons?

Apparently it has a garish colour scheme, this is what I've heard.

Because he needs to make sure we know how inferior we are... it's REALLY important.

Yep. I didn't dig today being called a bitch and told to "shut the fuck and block me then bitch". Yeah. Not cool. I mean if that is ok, then yay, I will take that as me being allowed to use the same language and not fear moderation. Cool.

As far as blocking someone, inevitably, they are quoted, so you (unfortunately) still get some of their opinions and posts. And since I pretty much know the posting style of those that I have blocked, I know it's probably something inflammatory or stupid that I don't want to read anyway. Blocking those people that I have doesn't seem to break up any continuity in a thread.

Launching personal attacks against those posters that I know and respect is a sure fire way to get blocked by me....hell, one guy was blocked at his very first post! While I may not agree with someone, there is no need for anyone to get stoopid. As Lilly says, we are adults, even if we don't always act like them! I can get snarky without getting personal......

I'm not going to make a habit of doing this, but that post was reported and removed on 06/18/2011 at 9:07 am by Mod21. We agree with you.
