Over the line. (Waaay over)

I suspect TPF is running out of lines to be over:


"No, the only person I truly want to see executed is you."

"If I saw anybody else (barring people like Bin Laden or Hitler or something like that) hanging off a cliff, I'd help them up. But if it was Greater Trostia... I'm still deciding whether to just leave him or to stomp on his fingers."

It's been pretty bad throughout the thread, even without the death threats.


There are also links to Stormfront, by another poster:

Sorry if someone has already dealt with this, but the comments do seem to be over the line, so I'll bump it to keep it on the page.

A day on, and the fun continues. Now, it seems we may have set a new precedent for what will be allowed:

"Nah, if I thought that, I'd put a gun to my head and end my obviously worthless existence."

Nah. The mods seem to be busy at the moment. I doubt they are going to tolerate any of that.

I'm active, but I notice that Katganistan has been active in that thread recently. I'm going to leave ruling on that thread to her (or someone else) as I haven't the patience to delve through over 350 posts to gain contextual clues.

Given the lack of content I can understand why you'd not want to wade into that thread.

I did read some of it and it seems like a lot of TPF and GT just going back and forth insulting each other, calling each other crazy, saying one or the other of them should be executed, etc. I can't imagine that regardless of context such things aren't over the line. Am I wrong?

What I'm trying to say, politely, is that I'd rather sort my sock drawer right now than wade into a pissing match. I'm just pointing out that it's still an open issue. The thread had gone for more than a day without a mod response, and it can wait a bit longer.

I never said he should be executed. That was TPF's lovely and so highly relevant commentary to me. Frankly, if I didn't know there was an ocean in the way, I might feel like he was actually making a threat on my life.

I couldn't get past the first page of posts...

*Prepares a LARGE plate of Chocolate Chip and Macadamia Nut Cookies for Kat (or which ever mod goes through that mess.)*

and having to go through all of that... kudos to you mods. :p

I'm reluctant to say anything about this because, well, it's GnI thread and it'll just look like I'm backing him up again, but did they really just get slaps on the wrist for that nonsense?

We saw 2-day bans handed out as the mod said "liberally" for pic spam, but two guys who spend 25 pages attacking each other personally including threats and whatnot (a typically deatable offense) and we see a warning.

I'm sorry, but I don't see the logic in that. I just don't.

EDIT: And, yes, we don't have all of the necessary context for either ruling. History plays in, etc. But we do know that both of these posters have a history with each other and with others.

I'm wondering where you get the "25 pages" thing. I made only seven posts in that thread, of which five were addressed to TPF, and only two of those were what I'd consider flames. (Unless you consider "how liberal of you" a flame.) None of them can be construed as threats, while TPF was quite speedy in telling me how "the only one I want to see executed is you."

So calls of "logic" aside Jocabia, I wonder what specific interest it is to you that I get deleted?

My points were inspecific. The threats were not you and since I've stated that unclearly twice, I'll say now that it is not what I intended. As was pointed to Smunkee, when something like that happens, you report and step aside or face the wrath of mod. You didn't report or step aside but baited and assaulted. Even you'd consider what you typed flames.

I don't think your efforts were deatable, but I do consider them as bad as pic spam.

I don't wish to see you deated. I have no interest in it. I do have a wish to see you not engage in the kind of nonsense that was that thread.

Wow... I have a very hard time imagining how you can grow such strong feelings against a person you have never even seen or know of...... 0_o

That's just wierd.
