James Gillen Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 (edited) Re: Musings on Random Musings Quote For some reason adults with kids seem to be more often okay with that fuzzy not-quite-censorship (either *s or transposed letters as in "fcuk"), so I defer to them. And it seems that in general that's about the level the boards here operate at more frequently and best. It's about as simple as that. Personally I agree with something jackelope said, they're just words and they don't matter to me. I also think it keeps the board discussion a little more civil (compared to some places) so I've been minding my language too. Still... today I saw Apocalypse Now Redux and couldn't help but agree with one of Brando's lines: "They train kids to kill, and they won't let them write 'Fluttershy' on their planes because THAT's obscene!" I mean, that's ONE Vietnam-Iraq analogy that's accurate...

zornwil Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings We have reached another landmark on the site. One of the regular posters got a temporary ban. I have thought since I discovered the NGD that this was bound to happen to someone at some stage. It actually happened to someone today and quite frankly they asked for it. Several of us pointed out that they had crossed the line and it was pointed out that a sanction was possible. They chose to refute this and basically called our bluff on it. Simon stepped up and dropped the ban on them. Ben could withdraw it at any stage but to be honest I hope he does not withdraw it immediately. It is not pleasent that it had to come to this but a group of us tried reasoning with them and they would not listen. Salutory lesson now given. I agree. I like ChuckG when he can contribute without going over the top, but he goes over the top a lot. Most of our guys who do seem to go away on their own (WM has made a leave, others) and recover, coming back usually better for it. ChuckG couldn't seem to tell/believe he was crossing the line. I hope he gets back here eventually but I hope he tones it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSword Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings The Venture Brothers is damn funny! Yeah, one of my favorite shows on currently. I taped the last show since I was out with friends Saturday night (and its on past my bedtime on Sunday night). Watched it twice was so funny. Brock: Alright, now a quick twist, you'll hear a popping sound and he'll go limp like a rag-doll Hank: And this will knock him out...more? Brock: No... ... it will kill him Hank: Do I have to? Brock: Alright fine crybaby Just tie him up, but at the first sign of trouble break both his knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings We have a thread on porn, various religious opinions, political jabs, and even one about having sex with corpses. Could someone please indicate what posts were considered so "over the top" as to get a member banned? I am not saying it couldn't have happened, but I would sure appreciate an example. Mentor, see http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21769&goto=newpost It was a matter of demeanor - and note Ben's note from earlier today.

Hermit Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I think ChuckG needs to learn common courtesy and some social skills. However, I hope the temporary ban is lifted sooner rather than later despite that. Frankly, maybe I missed some posts, but the line he crossed is kind of hard for me to pin down and I dislike ambiguity. I'm not saying it wasn't just... and that "I'm not here to be nice" comment sort of sums up what I think is wrong with the world. It's a cop out for being cruel or callous, much like "Life isn't fair" is too often used as a reason for one's own unfair actions. That said, I don't know if a ban is or was the way to handle it. Since I'm not exactly glowing with options though, I can't say I have a better idea. Maybe ChuckG will come back a bit more humble, but somehow I think all it will do is make him bitter and maybe lose DoJ a customer. Mind you, that's hardly going to break the bank, but ...*Shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings Emma Caulfield should have won an Emmy for her performance in "The Body", an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Specifically she should have won for the scene where she portrays Anya's utter confusion over Joyce Summer's death. One of the best scenes... ever. Makes you realize why Xander loved Anya, and Emma's acting was freaking top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
