Banned for not breaking a rule?

I was here before the mods where even mods, I remember actually making a thread suggestion the site had mods, in that thread i was told (we dont need mods ect.. ect.. ect..)

I have not broke a rule, I simply told Roy, who I like to call a friend, that I will not be told what to do, not unless I broke a rule, and the rules dont say (don't joke) if I'm blind and they do, please make a quote..

Please make a quote where I said you broke a rule. Insolence may not be explicitly banned (Maybe it is, I have this curious lack of not reading rule threads and then just starting from a basic level of courtesy and working from there), but are you saying that anyone who doesn't break a rule is immune from banning?

This is a private site. Literally, they can ban whoever they like. You sound like you're disrespecting a mod's authority, which is up to said mod if there are any consequences, not you.
 
Fine, but if someone wants to ban me for jking, says a lot about that person.

I'm honest, I'm argumentative, but in a good way, and I'm generally friendly, by being just that, I show respect to the site, the mods are not the site, I show respect to the site, and some of it's members,

Roy, well he's helped me a load over the months with my snakes, great at advise, someone I feel comfortable Joking with, but if making a joke turns a supposed to be funny situation into this, I wont ever joke again on here,

Jazzgeek, your funny, nearly all your post make me laugh, how do you survive in this wilderness?

'tis the logic, or lack thereof, behind the argument that creates the charges, not me. I'm just the one pointing 'em out. I never created the strawman, reductio ad absurdum, begging the question, et al.

but arguing that some kids already behave badly because they are exposed to it in other places so why should we have to change is akin to saying that everybody else cuts down rainforest trees so why should we have to stop? Or everybody else runs stops signs, crosses the street without looking, pushes the elderly down...so why should we stop?

First off, I've NEVER in this thread have made such an assertion. If you believe I have, I'd like for you to cite it for me.

You may have me confused with my apparent partner in the <ahem> traveling thread show, as it were.

What I did claim was as Nova C claimed: I can't believe that the use of profanity, masked or not, in a forum such as this encourages others to do the same, irrespective of age. Brent may have cited the example of "modeling", but I don't see that it applies to an internet forum. The behaviors are learned interpersonally, via family and/or peers.

If I were to lose my cool and called someone "UNDERWEAR!!!", I doubt that would incite a 15 year old about to post photos of his snakes first shed to up the ante and flame me with......."DIRTY UNDERWEAR!!!!"

And running stop signs, crossing the street without looking, and elder abuse are, once again, beautiful examples of the strawman argument. The parallels between those and your contention is, at best, tenuous.

That said, I have NO disagreement with your belief that judicious self-control is in order when posting to - or creating - threads that can run akilter (is that a word? :shrugs:) and become a DVD set that's advertised on late night television.

BTW, LOVE the avatar. As Dr. Phil would ask, how's that working out for you?

Why does that break the forum rules too :rofl:


Just abit of harmless fun, god.

This. This is what we were talking about.

Jokes can show a large degree of disrespect. They can also be insolent. Don't hide behind the "It was just a joke!" excuse - your post was obviously sarcastic and your bit of harmless fun, god shows just how you feel about Dean's response to your post.

No Rich ran the site himself and things started to get crazy and he asked for help. Many people stood up to take the challenge only 3 made it. One member asked for a recount. But sadly Mr Mohr is still not familiar with Florida Politics and did not make the cut. :eek1:
 
Can't edit, so I'll add:

I'm not saying he will, or would ban you or anything. I won't presume to know how a mod would respond to any post. However, you were denying any kind of wrongdoing in a post that several people found inflammatory. I guess I was talking hypotheticals as well as arguing your point that he can't ban you if you haven't explicitly broken a rule, because, really, he can if he so wishes.
 
Yea, joel, I know he will ban me, but if I was to stop saying what I think and stop being honest I would not be myself, because I'm very honest,

Nova, tbh I cba, Pm me if you have any problems, it's late, I'm talking to my girlfriend, I'm very happy, and argueing or even disagreeing right now is just BORING...

Somehow I can imagine you saying that in a deep voice... :crazy02:
 
I'd recommend that if you have a problem with a post, or feel it is disrespectful, report it. It was brought up in this thread that people are possibly ignoring posts that should be reported. So... if it's offensive, disrespectful, or otherwise innapropriate, speak up.

You can still say what you think and not be disrespectful. I... kind of... do.
 
but no you cant, because you told me I was vain, and that was disrespectful,

so no you cant, you eaither be honest and pay the price, or sit back and just keep quiet, if you met me in real life you'd know I'm very very honest.

  1. Be skeptical of everything, including this statement.
  2. Have the ability to laugh at yourself. You may as well, everyone else is.
  3. Have a very greasy, waterfowl-like back.
  4. Tequila, once you're of age.

jazz
