ZOMBIE FORUMS

Oh, can't disagree with that. As part of my campaign platform for moderator etc. . . .

You might be losing to Mr. "I choose not to vote for a moderator."... You really need to intensify your campaign.

Actually, I was having a perfectly happy time playing Guess my country until someone decided to run a fourth of July parade down the middle of my forum. Sounds like the kettle calling the pot black here.

I usually carry a bit of restraint and reserve my political stuff for my LJ but I was a bit depressed over the 4July and your parade aggrivated it. I won't apologize for it either as I feel it was appropriate, as appropriate as that parade. You do sing well but your choice of venues are deplorable.

While all the things I wrote of are in effect, I consider 4Jul a day or mourning. A parade would be celebrating the loss of American Freedoms and that would be oh so wrong! Some of us are true patriots, not to the colors but to the principles for which they stand. Those like you have betrayed those principles or choose to be blind to their betrayal. In either case, you got what you asked for.

Uh, no, Slam, in the fourth post of the thread, you wrote:



Again, this was the fourth post of the thread, and at the time the only two other people (the first post was also yours) had both made short, non-inflamatory reponses to the thread topic, so I think it is pretty clear who started it. Seriously, did you really expect no one to respond to your rant in kind?

Sorry, somehow I missed/forgot that. You guys keep me honest and true. That post was my depression talking and I would have posted no more about it without that damned parade showing up.

I guess that this is my queue to apologize, eh?

Depression sucks, and I know how expats can feel around pertinent holidays.


Gee, while many people here (myself included) probably should apologize for various things, I wasn't aware there was a line.

So, I guess, cue apology?

Identify, act, proceed.

The three rules of life which will keep you happy.

Identify the issue, act appropriately, proceed to a new issue. Life is too short for regret and negativity, those emotions are merely baggage and prevent personal growth.

Slam, this is a 4th of July thread. Not a "guess my country" thread.

There was absolutely no reason for you to bring politics into a thread like this. If you wanted to, you could have easily taken this to Debate, started a new thread, posted it on a different forum, etc.

But Debate is where threads go to die.

Actually, I didn't start this off as a 4th of July thread and I didn't even intend to debate here and you didn't have to send a damned parade down the middle of it.

BTW, I apologise to everyone else that may be offended by this impromptu political debate. Yes, the AI debate is different, being neither religion or politicks.

Hush you! Don't apologize! You did nothing wrong.

You called it like you see it and said your honest piece -- that makes you more man than some.

Don't get buried by someone blathering all over your opinion.

Then again, you might not have been around for how the thread started.



And, Bell? Once again, debates go in a special place.

Once again, moderators don't need you to do their job and waste time by posting about where things belong.

once again you are a man

Once again stop proving how badly these forums need moderation by continuing a 'debate' thread that has at this point nose dived into cronieism and flames rather than taking it to the debate forum and discussing the topic on a rational basis that does no involve badly compressed Star Trek macros.

and psionics is an idiot because he seems to think that all threads containing debate belong in debate club. what he does not realize is that according to forums bylaw this thread would actually go in unrelated first because it is not actually related to a comic, but in fact belongs in roleplaying because in it bellofthedamned roleplays a female. according to internet hierarchy when a thread could be moved to multiple subforums, it must go to the first to occur in the forums directory. to act otherwise just displays poor class.

So, basically, what you're saying here is that everything either goes in a comic forum or in Unrelated.

Nice use of a lack of logic, there.

Edit:



I'm actually curious as to whether or not you read the thread.

What he's saying is you should stop telling everyone where things go and stop posting about it!

So you have basically just posted this: You are telling me I shouldn't be posting here about what people shouldn't be posting here.

Shit no.

My eyes glaze over after the third post and I get an urge to blind myself.

The fact is, you want this moved to debate club badly, move it there yourself and actually act like a respsonsible member of the community and not someone who just likes to get the last word.
