I think folks are missing the point here. This thread has traditionally not been a place where any sort of trolling was acceptable. I'm neither saying that the joke was too much, nor the reaction reasonable, but the point is that this thread is supposed to be taken seriously. Seems that the two main guys enforcing that are MIA these days so I guess do whatever you want.

Mods aren't MIA, and that joke wasn't a troll or insulting or even contentious, it was obvious unless you're a turbo tard like Khane. He's an asshole/retard in a lot of other threads too, and for a long time, so him being shawed for a short time is also hinging on that fact and not just this one thing. He was also butting in for Sludig when he shouldn't have been. Sludig was fine with the joke and had his confusion cleared up almost immediately and the thread is back on track.

Banning any joking completely isn't what the grown up section is about, and never has been. Once again: get a grip, people, this thread is doing fine.

I'm specifically talking about Sanrith and Blazin, not taking a shot at mods fwiw.

In my opinion, as the creator of the grown up forum, the point there was for people to have more serious discussions where we discuss as adults without trolling and personal attacks. There was never a prohibition on jokes, and I didn't see what Synj said as anything approaching trolling.

The irony that the guy who is upset about the "trolling" is the one usually behind the personal attacks is not lost on me.
