Dear Texastan
This is just a friendly bit of advise.
Tell me why don't you provoke men with guns? At least I sencerely hope you don't.
It is because they hold the power of life or death over you.
This is a colourful analogy of the Mod-User relationship. They can delete your nation at any time with relative ease. Though they choose not to out of a justified system of ethics.
Why do you feel the need to harras these men and women who take time out of their day to make the game work for all of us? Your ramarks are irrating and rude, and I feel they are totally uncalled for.
Ps. Oh Holy Mods! Do not smight me! I love you all! :lol:
Anyway, I have no personal beef with you Texastan. But you are really being uneassarially irriatating.
:idea: Thank You... I see the light... I will not speak of "nude men" running from "lynch" mobs, the "french stench", "gay interior" designers, US "race" relations or "retarded wussie kindergardeners" in a sarcastic and out-of-context quoatable way... Give me liberty or give me some other option...

You can say those things...In context. You cannot just go around making bizzare and insulting messages left right and center. Or you'll have the Left, Righ & Center all on your arse.

:idea: That's the point, the left can pissoff the right and vice versa, but the second you go making fun of them both..WHAM.. your a "flaimbaiter" whatever that is... look, I'm not PC but I'm not obscene... I haven't said anything that can't be said on national television...

Could it be that the reason that is, is because you piss off twice as many people? It's not about being PC, it's about being annoying for the sake of being annoying.
:idea: no, I'm not annoying for the sake of annoyance..I don't go around posting things that are nonsensical.....
by the way, you seem to have the insight of a Moderator... (that is ment to be insulting)
I'm merely provoking thought, it just seems that many people here are dreadfully afraid of that... read my post history and find something that is offtopic...
(in all fairness to Moderators, dispite the hastleing, you have shown some patientce by not deleating me, for this I am very greatful)
please be able to back up your statements.....
Thought-provoking? Not simply being annoying? Let's take a look. These are just the posts I dug up after a casual search.

I think you need to stop being such a jerk, especially to nations 10 times your size.

Lines added by me, so I didn't have to post a quote pyramid.
Moving on:
You don't have to post your ideology because we can judge you on your actions.... like calling something obscene that isn't for the sole purpose of moral justification in destroying it.... think book burnings..
That was when the mods removed your flag because it contained the image of a topless woman. I don't care if you think it's art - it was inappropriate, and the Mods changed it.
Once more unto the breech:
Bring 'em on... I'll take the case to Supreme Court.... Where I'll lose, be cast out of society and branded a sex offender... the only way I'll be able to work after that is by converting and becoming a Catholic Priest...
MOD ALERT MOD ALERT MOD ALERT I said "Catholic"
This is a gem. How are you not being sarcastic and condescending here? Oh, that's right, you're blameless for all the annoying things you do because you're "just trying to provoke thought." Right. :roll:
Last but not least, is this little prize of a post:
uhm.. okay... do you normally decorate your head with that white cone?
{pssst.... that's a reference to a <gasp> dunce hat}
How was that not insulting? It was, at the least, flame-baiting. The mods saw fit to lock that thread, and most others I've seen you post in. Usually pretty quickly after you post. Is this a telling trend? I think so.
:idea: Your very good at proving my points....
I never said I wasn't guilty of "flamebaiting" and I never said I wasn't annoying... But what is "flamebaiting"? Making someone angry... was Reagan "flamebaiting" the communist when he demanded that they tear down the wall? Yes... was he provoking thought? Yes.....
also, my mock crying was an attempt to point out that tattle-tailng is somthing best suited for children.... is it not?
Your right about my post about judging people by their actions and not by there words though, I was clearly out of line there... thanks for catching me.
Oh, and the Catholic thing..... come on, lighten up.... besides... is it really that bad to bash pedophiles?
And you still seem to be missing point on my sarcasm... I am proud of it... much like Francis Bacon and Thomas Paine.... It does get me into trouble, but mostly only with inferior intellects...

Texastan, I suggest you improve your attitude. Your flag was inappropriate, you frequently flame-bait and openly insult other players, and you are already on more warnings than you are entitled to. Seriously, unless you start acting with a whole lot more tact, you are toast. Don't bother arguing the point either. Improve your behaviour, or you get deleted.

I love this game... I love the wit and the sarcasm.... every issue brings a smile to my face, and I especially enjoy reading the passionate yet insane opinoins of the advocates.... banning Harry Potter, BSDM rights, public nudity, rascist TV shows.... all are very sarcastic, very thought provoking.... I only want to stay true to this.... because it truly is a product of genius.. I personaly think it would be a shame for it to be reduced to PC rule...

If you make a thousand puppets, you can do 2000 sarcastic issues each day, while the moderator's forum is not for playing.

Texastan, you dont insult, huh?

In this very thread, no less (emphasis added by myself).
I'm afraid, my "friend," that was your last straw. You were given many chances last night to cease. Far more than most players are allowed. Rather than be grateful, and attempt to abide by the rules you agreed to at the creation of your nation, you have instead been insulting and inflammatory for no purpose other than simply to be insulting and inflammatory.
*hands Texastan a black rose*
You are buckwheat.

dude...
thanks.
hey guys, have you seen this from the Terms & Conditions?
NationStates is a free online political game. Players are expected to respect the fun, humorous atmosphere of the game
You understand that this web site contains satiric content, and presents views and opinions exagerated for the purposes of parody
You don't have to be politically correct
wow.... I guess we showed that one guy how wrong he was indeed...

Good job, if Texastan were still around he'd probably be causing more trouble by asking "when exactly did I say I don't insult?" what a chump... good riddence... now we get back to our safe, happy communist bubble..

I can't believe someone had the nerve to compliment the game like that... some people!

One thing you may learn shortly is that players given a lot of chances eventually lose that privilege and end up getting killed on sight, often even before they get a chance to post. We have you clocked.

that's fine, I haven't tried to post any smut or anything... I think if we had a real conversation we would agree on a lot of things... and if we didn't I would be deleated

I doubt that very much. I have disagreed with mods on many things, and have been quite vocal about it. I have alsoused humour to get my point across. (gave stephinistan an asbestos suit once) . However, havign a real conversation doesn't mean actinling like an adolescant git. if you insult people; they wont' like you. treat them withr espect instead.
Very well put, but where is the respect given in throwing around threats without reason.... and never backing them up with the actual rules... I've been accused ignoring the rules I agreed to when I signed up to play the game, but those Terms of Agreement seem to side with me... when I ask for an explination I am ignored and warned to stop with the insults.... view my post history outside of this thread... I was threatened with deleation for making a very cerbrial joke in the US vs France thread... if you don't get the sarcasm then you miss the point of the joke and I appear rascist.. even still, if I were rascist... I never said anything obscene... one of my threads was locked for making light of the Catholic Priest sex scandel... hell, even Leno can joke about that on national televison... If this is the South Park generation, you can't tell it here... all I see are buning books.

The obscene was your flag. The insults were what caused your deletion.
Another sob just trying to get attention just bit the dust.
