So, let's hear it.
What was in that thread that *you* feel was valuable?
Maybe you enjoyed the "N" word dropped a few times for public consumption?
Did you?
You want it still open to view apparently.
Go on, justify it.
If being "valuable" is the criterion for posting, then probably half of the threads are going to have to be pulled...Mr. Wilson said:
The portion of the thread in question that I read contained the "N" word only as quoted from another source, rather than being used in construction.I've noticed that it's relatively common to see threads that contain the "F" word. However the word seems to be left in as long as it's misspelled: for example with 2 K's, or 2 O's. So can words which you find offensive be used as long as they are misspelled? Or if several letters are replaced by fonts such as: %^&$(@ ?
Thanks~

Mr. Wilson,
I can not comment on what I found to be valuable, due to thread being pulled before I had a chance to read it. It's a shame that we as a society are so quick to deem something "inappropriate" and remove it from public view. The only reason I was interested in the first place is that I pulled Jack out of the gutter and backed him for over a year. During that time he ate dinner with my family, cried on my grandmothers shoulder, dumped me twice resulting in a stern warning then a black eye, shot the numbers off the balls, and ended up in jail. So any thread titled Jack Hynes would interest me. You seem like a nice guy with high morals, but it makes me wonder if you had been in a position of political control during other times in the history of mankind how things would have turned out.
We'll try this:
I did reconsider and have edited the posts that were offensive and replaced the thread in the main forum.
That said, I want everyone to be aware of a couple of things.
If posts don't follow the rules and guidelines in terms of content, meaning if it is profane, vulgar, threatening, racial ( even a quote ), or an entire list of reasons that will get my PM box and email filled with complaints........
The posts will get edited and the person (s) will be warned publicly.
People wanted something to explain why and where a post goes, I did so. Next stop, schedule book burnings....
There is a guy posting criticism who has had multiple personalities banned....yet I've been patient and understanding.....but to suggest his quote is offensive is an abuse of my authority.
Go figure.
Criteria aside, I try not to be too hard. I removed the post and didn't warn a soul. ( still haven't )
It seems that if I am lenient, it is too lenient. People who habitually swear or substitute other charachters for letters should be considered.
People who quote racial epithets should be allow to slide if they are in a certain context.
You know, I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't.
I want you to just consider how many people I try and please....all at the same time.
Cheap shots simply piss me off.

Ok so the language should be G rated from now on.....nothing typed that you wouldn't want a 10 year old repeating. Correct? So, how would you feel having a 10 year old repeating Cheap shots simply piss me off. Is that profane? I am damned now?
Guess you weren't thinking when you typed your reply. People who habitually swear....if the shoe fits, Mr. Wilson.
Some people have very little clue when to zip it.
Keep the provocation up and see where it goes.

Mr. Wilson,
With all due respect, you do come off as heavy handed much of the time. I feel there is a lot of material that is posted that you could probably let slide. Please don't let the power go to your head.
Regards,
Doug

Mr. Wilson said:
That is not my IP address. Nice try. Teacherman has a business computer that I used from time to time so that is where you confusion might be. Your others confusions I cannot help you with.
Castro wasn't a slight. I typed it intentionally. If that got me a warning, that too is ridiculous but so be it. We all, including you, can learn as this internet thing grows. To say one way is right & the rest is wrong is asinine. Think about where that will lead.
I wasn't trying to offend anyone with my comments in relation to Jack Hynes. I can't help it if people don't have reading comprehension and send you PM's regarding something they think they are reading. Unfortunately, from the spelling, grammar & subject matter of most people I need to realize that typing in the 'See Jane, See Spot Run' format would be more appropriate.

since we're big on comprehension, try wiki out:

What are you talking about?
I wasn't trying to offend anyone with my comments in relation to Jack Hynes.
As I stated above, and have previously, the context of the quote is irrelevant. How many vile things need repeating and quoting etc...before they become offensive? It wasn't offensive enough when it occured?
We need to repaet it for effect...and then somehow, it is more acceptable.....because you're just quoting what he said???
I refuse to accept that you really believe that.

I have no concern over what degree of respect you care enough to offer our community. It would appear that it isn't very much though.

To me calling you a hypocrite.

-Roger (please warn yourself, publicly.)
Roger, is there a good reason for your adding to controversy?
*Especially* since you are one of the posters who made sooo much noise about wanting to know why and where a thread goes?
Back to my point, Be aware, I will not take further provocation lightly.
