Political/Religon Discussions Rules Within the Sandbox

I think this is a total cop-out. Since there's no need for even a minimal sense of decorum, may we proceed to insult the staff here too?

If you don't care to do your job, perhaps you should just resign. Originally Posted by Doove

However, if you really wish to insult me, take me on in a verbal war of words over my moderation style in this particular forum, I can assure you I most certainly welcome that opportunity. Start a new thread and pull that suicidal trigger, Sir.

Please trust me when I say that some moderators are harboring a tiny bit of pent-up frustration and would absolutely love the opportunity to unleash a little bit of it on good folks just like you.

give it a pass because it "came from a hot chick that's willing to suck a penis", If I'm ever going to give a pass, this is the girl that will get it

ISIS was a riot cause she could give it and I was allowed to give it back, that was fun for me, I could of cared less if she liked me or not, I know she didnt like me!!LOL! There's nothing better (in the world of arguing) than arguing with a girl you don't have to impress. You can gain lots of insight.
PS The phrase is "I couldn't have cared less."

I always enjoyed you and others being able to voice it out there whatever the case. At the end of the day, give a hand up to the folks you were trying to knock on their asses. Originally Posted by JONBALLS

Pointing out the hypocrisy is what i'm doing here, JB. People have been banned for far less than what Marshall is getting away with. So frankly, the hypocrisy isn't on my end. If they want to create an unmoderated forum for people like Marshall to go in and scream and yell and act like a 13 year old wannabe tough guy, then they should go ahead and do it. But to take a forum that already existed and turn it into an unmoderated forum just so people like Marshall can have a place to not be moderated, i disagree with that and i don't think it makes me a hypocrite to say so.

I dont want anyone silenced,

Neither do i, for the most part. But let's think about this for a second. Think about all the posters who have not made themselves a part of this "new" forum - most of the names i can think of being on the Conservative side of the aisle even. Do you think Marshall's 46 posts (today alone) acting like a total imbecile has anything to do with that? I do. And so i think enabling Marshall has essentially removed some valuable opinions from here. Even ones i disagree with.

i can take personal attacks, thats ALL I get from you,I dont want it to go away.People attacking you verbally is a harsh part of reality.This site is nothing compared to the treatment that happens out in the real world.You gotta dig deeper than that!!LOL!!

This isn't about "personal attacks". Hell, Marshall's a wannabe. Like you said, anyone can throw around obscenities all day long. And except on the days when he's posting his nonsense 46 times, people like Olivia or PJ get under my skin more than this simpleton does. And that's not a knock against Olivia or PJ - the reason they get under my skin is because i actually have some respect for them. Marshall/Whirlaway doesn't get me annoyed at Marshall/Whirlaway. Marshall/Whirlaway gets me annoyed at the mods.

Your basic response to that was to give it a pass because it "came from a hot chick that's willing to suck a penis", or something to that effect. Originally Posted by JONBALLS

You misunderstood, but only by a little. My comment concerned the fact that i get knocked around over there by people who get upset with me, while Nikki gets heaped with praise for her posts.....when her "sarcastic, take subtle digs at people" posting style is pretty damn near identical to mine. That was my point - in my sarcastic, subtle dig at people kind of way. I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with your point.

There's a major difference between the two and you seem to pick and choose where you apply your concern.

And i'm simply suggesting there's a major difference between Marshall/Whirlaway and everyone else.

Which, i'm sure, wasn't your intent with setting up the new rules - so i'm not blaming you. Unintended consequences and all. However, "minimally moderated" shouldn't mean "not moderated".

However, if you really wish to insult me, take me on in a verbal war of words over my moderation style in this particular forum, I can assure you I most certainly welcome that opportunity. Start a new thread and pull that suicidal trigger, Sir.

I really don't think it's very becoming for mods to be goading posters like this.

Again with the goading. "Folks just like me"? With people like Marshall/Whirlaway in here, you're really going to say that to me?

Actually, WTF, the rules are pretty clear. Outside of the forbidden topics as stated in the OP, there are no rules. Which is why i posed the original question. And it's also why i'm a little taken aback by Chica Chaser's seeming offense to it.

But if this is what they want, then ok i guess.

If you don't care to do your job, perhaps you should just resign. Originally Posted by Doove

You forgot the only part of your post that matters. And the one that I was referring to earlier. No offense taken just a little defense.

If you would like to debate that point, fine. If you would like to talk with ownership of this site, fine. You don't seem to quite have a full grasp of the rules in here. I'm just another....whats the word? Yes, fucktard... in here. IF I choose to get into a debate/discussion in here, I will expect to be treated just as anyone else. I laid out the rules above and I will live within them too.

The only real alternative is to either stop all political discussions OR just start handing out points within the regular board rules. Is that a more attractive option for you? Just in this short amount of time numerous folks would have been on 90 day vacations due to points accumulation.

So again, if you don't like the rules or the moderation in this forum, you most certainly have other options. As far as goading, please take another look at your OP on this matter...aimed directly at me. Defensive moves only. I appreciate your opinion of the current status of the Sandbox, but I have feeling most here will disagree with you.

In the end, this is you guys area...if you want something changed lets discuss it. You will find I'm quite open minded to reasonable adult conversation.

wannabe tough guy,

Even ones i disagree with.

that's not a knock against Olivia or PJ -





And i'm simply suggesting there's a major difference between Marshall/Whirlaway and everyone else.

Is Marshall a reflection to how we look to others? I'd reluctantly vote yes but the big difference is.... and when I say big , I mean huge, huge huge as in gigantic is that we do not do it near as often.

It is like drinking water. The right amount is healthy but if you tried and drink 5 gallons it could kill ya.

Marshall is 5 gallons, not healthy for anyone except to point out to all that this is how we are perceived by some at any one time.

Yea Marshall, you are what we all hope not to be! A shining example

I say we run PJ and Doove as the new Hope and Change. Let them fight it out who will be Prez and Vice Prez.

I actually think the Vice Prez has the better job!
