Common sense, or a rule?

[OCA]

More psuedo threats from the guy running around saying others need to grow up?

lol @ pseudo

[ConHog]

I wasn't refering to you at all when I made that comment. I was just using this particular "creep" as an example....one that my male friends also found offensive...because he was a rude asshole.

I knew what you meant Shadow, I was just clarifying that I'm not THAT big an asshole LOL

[ConHog]

lol @ pseudo

So are you arguing that it was an ACTUAL threat?

[Shadow]

that isn't MY problem.....as far as "judgment" is concerned, I don't see any threads around trying to debate whether MY conduct should be the incentive for new rules.....

I think this thread has shown that making a rule would be a waste of time, if people want to be assholes they will find new and innovative ways to be assholes......why follow them around making new rules in the aftermath of their destruction.......shucks it would be like writing new Congressional ethics guidelines........

You bring up a good point. It has been my experience that the assholes on message boards who want to troll posters and stir up shit know exactly what the rules are (and constantly bring them up and remind everyone else what they are too).

They will usually do everything they are allowed to do...and stretch the rules right to the very limit.

I don't know, take it however you want.

So you're suggesting that mini modding and trolling go hand in hand?

I think we need only one rule......"if you annoy the guy with the ban gun, you may end up banned".......

I did and you laughed as if that isn't how you meant it at all.

I take it back, it wasn't a psuedo threat, because someone would actually have to feel some fear to feel threatened by you, and pity =/= fear.

[logroller]

I would say I agree...he's a hottie.

And if someone made rude comments about your partner...I would say the same thing. It's wrong.

hands off bitch--that's my man!

THAT would be a TERRIBLE rule, that is how USMB was ran for awhile and it sucked. One thing I'd say EVERYONE agrees on here is that Jim is pretty damned even about not just tossing someone off his board just because they annoy him. *

* See OCA's continued activity on the board as proof.

Catfight............. Someone better call Jim back in here, if one of you loses a shirt and he doesn't see it, we may all get banned.

[PostmodernProphet]

THAT would be a TERRIBLE rule

only if your goal is to annoy the guy with the ban gun.....

[Shadow]

Pretty much... yep. Probably why these personalities are invited to the boards in the first place actually. Apparently the childish shit flinging is good for traffic?? I don't know....I ain't up on the latest message board etiquette and all that.

obviously, or you and OCA's annoying games would have resulted in something more than a discussion of whether it's fair to get rid of you if it isn't written in a rule.......personally, I don't see where either of you are worth the debate.....
