I dont. Then it really does turn into a popularity contest.

@ Lookout...I don't know what it is man...I just feel this overwhelming urge to accumulate wealth...and stuff...can't quite pin point the emotion I'm feeling....

I have a question. Who the fuck is Mockingbird, and who appointed said bird Keeper of All That is Cellar-good?

Mockingbird · 11-20-2007, 08:37 AM

No one, but I like this place and it makes me sad to see people argue all over it.

Shawnee123 · 11-20-2007, 08:40 AM

I agree, but you're arguing too, thus perpetuating the thing.

Besides, I'm trying so hard to stay out of it.

Come on peeps. Let's show some love.

(Breaks into a round of kumbaya.)

ZenGum · 11-20-2007, 08:43 AM

Yeah, lets all have a big group hug!

five seconds later:

Owwww someone's pinching me!

Who squeezed my butt?

Stop that!

You smell!

Mockingbird · 11-20-2007, 08:52 AM

And who the fuck are you to argue that we should all just get along?

I'm saying that all they seem to do anymore is start crap and throw around insults. I know I haven't been here long but most of the forums that I go to where you have people being dicks handle it by banning the instigator and being done with it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'm not trying to alter anyone else's opinions on them or anything else, I suggested that if enough people vote to get rid of them that they should be banned. If people say they don't want to ban them and would rather put up with them, that's fine.

Shawnee123 · 11-20-2007, 08:54 AM

The problem with that is deciding who is the instigator. Your mileage may vary.

Mockingbird · 11-20-2007, 08:55 AM

I'd say it would be the person calling a member a semen depository. Doesn't seem that complicated.

Shawnee123 · 11-20-2007, 08:56 AM

Whatever, birdie. Without taking sides I would say there's a lot you don't know. So stop instigating.

LJ · 11-20-2007, 08:59 AM

yabbut....i call people names too. a lot of us do.....the difference? I'm funny... and spexx simply lacks that sense of where the line is sometimes. that's what makes him a sociopath. I always say, "one man's semen depository is another man's dickhole".

Mockingbird · 11-20-2007, 09:01 AM

I don't have to have the whole convoluted back story to have an opinion and a suggestion. You can act dismissive and throw in some winking faces to be cute about it, but I'm going to post what I think about it as long as they post threads being vicious and stupid.

I can't help it that I'm cute.

But don't convolute your posts as "I'm just helpin'" and bat your eyelashes with a "who me?" It just doesn't fly.

lj is right, we should have a say. Therefore, you suggesting voted bans goes against everything you said about having the right to your opinion...your vacillation rivals some of the pros around here.

So wink wink nudge nudge.

That's MY opinion.

I'm not just 'trying to help', I'm trying to get rid of them because they annoy the shit out of me and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

I'm not sure how many times that I have to state that to you before you understand that it's just that simple, but I guess I'll post it again.

So when you see a problem in you just ignore it rather than take action? I hope that's not how you solve problems.

You are a quick to judgment one, aren't you?

Another way to put it: I don't get along with a coworker. Instead of learning to work around that, as an adult would do, I will gather as many people together as I can and launch assaults to get rid of that person. Is that how you solve problems? Get rid of them? What happens if your kid errs in his ways? Put them in a home? Dog pees on the carpet, put him to sleep? Anything to take it out of the equation, what a wonderful world it will be.

If your co-worker was sexually harassing you and throwing insults at everyone what do you think would happen? Everyone would ignore it?

Kid starts misbehaving? Corrective punishment.

Dog pees? House training.

The slippery slope argument isn't going to be effective here. In most cases and in most situations, problems are solved by corrective action rather than by just letting shit happen.
