Tough on trolls: UK internet abusers may face up to 2 years in jail

[CDNBear]

But I don't think we all agree on what the rules are. Granted, the forum does have a list but it is selectively enforced so I would hardly call them rules if such a law ever came into effect here.

They're selectively enforced?

When was the last time you were selectively enforced upon for trolling everyone?

Last I heard, you were warned about spam.

So who's getting away with spam these day?

That is sensible, the message is the same but the delivery is toned down. Perhaps there should be a thread for one liners but then most of the threads would have big holes in them

I think the big difference is in attacking an individual as opposed to attacking an idea or a behaviour.

For example, one member here made a statement that was clearly false and was proven false. That member has followed me from thread to thread calling me names. I don't know the member personally. He may be an immature individual, he may not be. There is no question that his actions are immature. I think you can condemn the action and not the individual. At some point, if the actions continue, the individual defines him/herself.

More of your patented dishonesty, lolz.

The only people that buy it, are people who are as dishonest as you.

The following from thread to thread with the same topic is a dead giveaway.

I bet the fact that you just described yourself is lost on you.

And will be sycophantically adored by equally dishonest members.

The irony is palpable.

I wonder if some members would be willing to take their disagreements to the steel cage?

it's getting so that many threads are dipping into the same arguements between the same members. It's making it hard to avoid.

I stand guilty of such things. But then again, I'm actually honest and bright enough to know my part.

The dishonest posts above by others, and the equally dishonest that praise it, only betray themselves. They're transparent to most.

Case in point

You could help me out by putting anything to do with God or the Mid-East in there as that is where it would end up eventually, even without the troll posts. Not a word of a lie, on one Christian themed site my views (already posted here) were so against the pre-trib rapture that I had one section that I could post in and that was it. The owner didn't want me to 'contaminate' the rest of the board so it was basically the two of use chatting for about two years in all. Yes I eventually got banned when I asked a mod when the last time she read anything in the Bible that caused her to have an emotion. I don't object to the ban and most parts had been well gone over by then anyway but I always was 'puzzled' why forum bans are always 'for life'.

I think most of us are guilty of it at times. There difference is with some folks, that's all they have.

I'm well aware that, that is all you have.

Steel Cage was a victim to the thin-skinned. Alas, I, too, mourned its passing

that's too bad because it is f*cking up the forum...

if all personal attacks were moved there, it would clean things up greatly

maybe it could be re-opened

 

[Cannuck]

I'm well aware that, that is all you have.

Really? Because it seems there is only one person so far, behaving that way on this thread.

I mean we've seen you praise them for it.

Except for when people you like do it, right?

I always thought it was pointless and was more geared to those that just wanted to throw a tantrum.

Yep, you. Your dishonesty is only believed by equally dishonest people.

While people like yourself, throw tantrum in other ways.

I can provide links if you'd like. Although I'm sure your childishness and racism isn't something you want to have rebroadcast.

I'm thankful for the edit button.

 

[CDNBear]

I'm thankful for the edit button.

I'm thankful that most people are pretty honest about themselves and their actions out here.

Nah, editing, like safety words, are for wimps.

LOL.

oh, its gone? that's too bad...and kind of stupid. If you enter of your own free will and you find out you have thinner skin then you thought, what a great way to find out before it gets completely out of hand.

I honestly don't believe anyone here is a "true" azzhat. I do believe that if any of those who disagreed were to honestly state that they needed to back away from the arguments and were honestly honest about it, everyone else here would be ok with that and back away from that interaction.

If I'm wrong, could the person who is a true azzhat please raise their hand?

Nah, editing, like safety words, are for wimps.

LOL.

yes, well...I have to edit. My hands...they have a mind of their own sometimes....lol
