So, to clarify, the problem with the mods is that they're old, not that they have sandy vaginas. Is that right? Maybe we just need old people humour to lift their moods.

Here, mods. Please, enjoy this show.

If you can't be funny without using that word then you simply aren't funny...you're just a guy spewing words to elicit a response. Chris Rock by contrast doesn't need to drop those words to be funny, he's funny regardless, and when he does go there it's still funny. Not because of the words he uses, but in spite of them.

Sutekh made a joke in the FSR a while back and while I knew that on one hand he was trolling, on the other hand he did two things right: he actually said something intrinsically humorous, and he was oblique and indirect enough that it wasn't just him spamming words. And I didn't infract him, I just thought "well played" to myself and moved on.

What I don't think people understand is that the Mods were really hands off in this regard for a long time. Back when Keg went on a racist-trolling free-for-all in the Politics thread (only a few months after the forum went up IIRC) I came right out to the other Mods that I felt that we should just drop the hammer and be done with it before it got out of hand. Only one person agreed with me and the rest of the Mods were of the opinion that I was overreacting - so I backed off. So what we've had now for over a year is that people have been given greater latitude than they probably should have and now when we have to step in and tell people to STFU, some of the fucking retards want to double down on this shit and dare the Mods to do something about it. No one gave a shit about things like "chimpout", except when the same bad actors felt the need to parade around the board using it left and right just to see who they could piss the fuck off with it.

Anyone who has spent some time with me in certain IRC chans (not #Fires) probably knows that I can be and often am as offensive as anyone. But those are smaller channels where I feel like I know my audience and I'm unlikely to offend anyone - and if I did, I'd probably stop. But I don't ever feel the need to come to these forums and spew the same shit here. Expecting other people here to control themselves isn't an insane concept.

I'll tell everyone right now that if people would STFU and stop pushing the envelope on this stuff that the Mods as a whole would be more than happy to let the occasional comment/joke/meme go. But if people are going to undertake some sort of crusade to piss the Mods off by continuing to see how far they can push them, then they're going to have a bad time.

I hope you're happy Big Ern. Modding the board so that faggots like Tanoomba aren't offended. Modding should be about policing disruptive behavior, not policing taste. That's all I've ever had a problem with.

Oh, I've never been offended. Never reported a soul. I just think the way several of you act is beyond childish and all the bans that were handed out were well-earned, for exactly the reasons Erronius explained.

The only thing I find offensive is that he felt he needed to explain it to your sorry asses.

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.

No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.

Words have meaning. Words have different meanings for different people.

I agree with you, Mario. Words ARE just words, but when you string them together they have meaning.

Now get off my lawn, you fucking jiggaboo.

"We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary."

"The hypocrite who always plays one and the same role finally ceases to be a hypocrite; for example priests, who as young men are usually conscious or unconscious hypocrites, finally become natural and then really are priests without any affectation; or if the father fails to get that far then perhaps the son does so, employing his father's start and inheriting his habits. If someone obstinately and for a long time wants to appear something it is int he end hard for him to be anything else."

-- Adolf Hitler, Sr.

If you posted porn in subject titles I would have a problem with that, too. You're acting like you weren't trolling as fuck anyway with that thread. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Bro, I only really scanned this novel you wrote, but here is the bottom line from me: I'm not going to relitigate months old shit for you, take it up with Draegan if you don't like the RR changes. I don't care. I didn't listen to the song. I'm a grown ass man, that shit isn't funny anymore. I moved it to the hidden forum because I don't want "American Inventor" plastered all over my screen every time I visit the main forum page. I welcomed the other mods moving it out to the RR if they felt it so warranted, none of them did, so idk. You're not the scapegoat, you put yourself in an adversarial position with moderators because you think it is funny or you are bored or whatever. Again, don't care, and I'm not wasting time on that bullshit.

Sounds like you could use a Leffe, old man. Thanks for your time.
