Thread: wtf?

  1. #16
    So Gene, If I object to a thread on this board simply based on the subject matter then it's going to be immediately locked down?

    Every post on the military thread was linked and documented. Why was it locked?

    If this is going to be the case where threads are closed because people don't like them then let me know now.

    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    Basically, I was disrespectful to Gene, and I accept that. It had nothing to do with anything but that.

    So, in the future, I'll respect his wishes and simply refer to wife-beating racist liberal psychopaths in Boulder. Since, by not naming a person, I can't possibly be insulting an individual, right?

    And no... I don't threaten people over the net. It's kind of silly, really.

    People can call me whatever they want. Will that change me? Not one bit. Will that insult me? Maybe for a second while the child in me throws a temper tantrum, then I tell the child to shut his !*&(!*%^)*!^$)*!^ arse. He understands I mean business.

    Still waiting on an answer

    BD, if I asked you to stop using the words "teabagger" and "Biblethumper" as they are insults to people with certain political views (including myself), would you stop using those insults?

    Ask yourself why you are insulted.

    politics can be applied to anything, but that doesn't mean everything is political. One must make it so.


    Politics is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions.
    How does one make a decision?

    That's not the issue. BD said he against namecalling, and he even got someone temp banned over it. So I'm asking him if he was asked to stop calling names, would he do so.

    Maybe I should just ban everyone...

    I banned Drake after getting complaints. I drew the line on the tea party nutbag thread . Drake crossed the line first.

    Now it looks like we're back where we started. I'm getting complaints about Drake, BoulderDawg and 1bad65, mostly over these political thread flame wars. This is why I was hesitant to offer an Off Topic forum. Political discussions get heated, flame wars erupt, and it's just a bother.

    So I'm drawing the line again - HERE - and this time, it's one for all and all for one. If there's more flaming from either Drake, BoulderDawg and 1bad65, they all get banned.

    Now we sit and watch to see who is the suicide bomber.
