People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people and the kids?...It’s just not right. It’s not right. It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. We’ll, we’ll get our justice....Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to work it out.

One must excise. Cancer itself is rampant cellular division and unorganized growth.

define devisive, please. Because it seems to me you see any disagreement as "divisive". I see discussion and argument, but I see no divides.

Clodfobble · 06-17-2010, 11:12 PM

I know it makes you uncomfortable, Cloud, but it's really not healthy to completely internalize and avoid all conflict. And I say this as an extremely non-confrontational person in real life--I very much understand the feeling, but it's impossible to avoid all negativity all the time. If people have a problem, it needs to get talked about. If there was nothing divisive about the issue, then it wouldn't be a problem in the first place. It's not the moderators' place to play Mommy and Daddy.

Cloud · 06-17-2010, 11:15 PM

yeah, it is. surely they have enough idea of the nature of the problem, the parties involved, and the choices available to them by now.

Cloud · 06-17-2010, 11:26 PM

arguing about arguing without taking any action to solve the problem.

If you don't like the word divisive, how about disruptive? ridiculous? futile?

lumberjim · 06-17-2010, 11:32 PM

you'd prefer to ignore the Elephant in the room?

lookout123 · 06-17-2010, 11:34 PM

Excuse me, but can you tell me what the meaning of "is" is?

Cloud · 06-17-2010, 11:37 PM

no. I'd prefer for the moderators to do their job and take action to alleviate this long-standing problem.

Personally, I would consider TheMercenary to be intolerably irritating if there were nobody responding to his crap.

you're saying 'even if there were nobody responding'?

or is it a typo that should say that you 'wouldn't consider the merc to be intolerably etc...'

I can't tell.

Happy Monkey · 06-17-2010, 11:59 PM

Not a typo. If the forum were full of Merc's cut-and-pastes from right-wing blogs and contentless snipes, and nobody called him on it, I would find that intolerably irritating. Redux makes him tolerably irritating. Redux's posts are usually researched, informative, and pertinent to the issue. Merc responds with an irrelevant insult or a popcorn smiley. I am mystified as to how this false equivalency arose.
