Hey Gnosis,
Sorry to hear about your decision. For what it's worth, I do agree with your assessment that excessive, vulgar language tends to degrade the quality of a discussion (though I disagree with you about it being considered a "threat").
I for one value the opinion of people who have differing points of views and can articulate them well, and I thought you articulated your PoV very well, even if I did disagree with you on some stuff
Anywho, take care. _________________ "Not everything that steps out of line, and thus 'abnormal', must necessarily be 'inferior'" - Hans Asperger, 1938 |

I know I have already bid my farewell but I feel I must follow up with a quick AH-HA! Moment of realization as to where this feud actually all began.
Wow, looks like I have been caught up in a squabble I had no idea about until I read more into Bob Black's writings and his former association with the Church of the Sub-Genius, which is a part of the icon of the user who I have been forced to ignore. Bob Black wrote a scathing criticism of the Church of the Sub-Genius, over which he was sent a small mail-bomb by one if its members.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Black#Controversy_concerning_the_Church_of_the_SubGenius
I just want to make it clear I am not a Bob Black fanboy, nor a Church of the SubGenius "hater". I was just trying to explore the ideas contained in his writings which have been labeled "libertarian socialism", a term which piqued my interest because of its seeming self-contradictory connotations. Indeed, Bob Black should be considered more of an anarchist than anything else.
In any case, now that I have made the connection between the "Bob" icon of the Church of the Sub-Genius, said forum member, and the feud between these parties I understand more fully the level of aggression of that member. |

Yeah but this honestly makes me even more concerned about how dangerous arrogant, clueless dicks can actually be.
Enough to send a mail-bomb to someone they disagree with and/or they feel has slighted them.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Kill yourself now, since you clearly can't stand the sight or sound of the word "fuck". You will not make it in society. Do everyone a favor and eat a bullet. _________________ aa #51, DNRC o-, Member of the [H]orde

Only if you want to be guilty of a flagrant non sequitur and well-poisoning attempt. Which, it appears you do, since you haven't got any valid arguments. _________________ aa #51, DNRC o-, Member of the [H]orde

cussing is not threats.
secondly its not a violation of the rules.
third, I agree that politeness and civility should rule the day.
I'm not going to force folks to be nice, heck sometimes I also am guilty of flaming, but I sure wish politness and respect would be more common and the flaming less.
there is simply no need to be a jerk to people just because you disagree with them. |

I say cunt too much. But its not a threat, infact sometimes I use it as a term of endearment.
If you get threatened by behaviour in a forum, and the threatening behaviour is naughty words I suggest you grow a pair.
