Eh? You volunteered to hold the "kitty" and I agreed since you are a MOD. What is so offensive about that? Sheesh - cool your jets man.

Conjur - a list might be appropriate but it would not be limited to that list alone. The guidelines for the "nuanced" ones will have to be agreed upon though.

If I were a MOD you'd be long gone, fvcktard.

How does one see IP addresses of posters if they aren't MODs then "fvcktard"? :roll:

Cripes - get a grip on yourself perknose. If you truly aren't a MOD then fine but I find that hard to believe because of multiple events that have taken place here. If you aren't then you are closely tied to/with one(or more) of them.
[/offtopic]

Anyway - I still wouldn't have a problem with you holding the "kitty" despite your knee-jerk over-reaction to my earlier post.

MOD has spoken!!!!!! 😉

But sure I'll refrain from using the term neoc-JRUNERROR!

This is a good idea, even a GREAT idea. I'm in, BUT . . . only if the ground rules are explicitly and painstakingly posted and everyone involved publically agrees to the posted rules.

We really ought to make the prohibitions more airtight and broad based and inclusive so none of us can weasel snipe and claim to be technically abiding by some rules of civility when we're really not.

Also, we must have some sort of "absolute non-response" policy to anyone not joining in.

Heathens, I say, SHUN them!

Also, we have to decide who holds the kitty -- I humbly volunteer😀 -- and some decision on what to do with the forfeited amount.

Donate it to me,I could use a new wardrobe,lol,it would be fun to see who incurred the most fines.Perhaps we should set up a side pool to bet on who the top 3 offenders will be? 🙂
 
I think no name calling or implied comments would constitute the rules. It's easy to pick either one out and just takes a little common sense. I would hope that everyone here would have just enough common sense to figure it out too. If the comment seems iffy, then you probably shouldn't use it.

Use facts and arguments for your statements. It's actually not that hard when you try.

What multiple events that have taken place here, the imaginary ones you reach up your bowel impacted ass to chew on in the dead of night? Christ, we were trying to do somethig here, and you can't even hide your weasel snipe colors for the lenght of the thread.

You're trolling, you know it, we all know it. Pathetic.

Get a grip already - it was NOT a troll. I was voicing support of your volunteering but somehow you twisted it into a "weasel snipe" or whatever. Cripes.:roll:
This isn't the thread to get into those events but they have been pointed out in the various threads they occured in.

Anyway, since perknose can't seem to handle his knee - I hereby recind my support of him holding the "kitty" if there is money from offenders to be put in it.

Anyone else in? Do we have a list at the top of the thread yet?😉 rules posted?

I challenge every regular poster here to go for the next four days - that's right, until next Monday morning - without using the word "liberal"/"commie"/"leftist" or "conservative"/"Nazi"/what-have-you in a sentence unless you're actually referring to a conservative, a liberal, or a communist. That means no using it perjoratively, no using it as a means of "dismissing" an argument, etc. For the next four days, let your arguments speak for themselves without relying on partisan name-calling to back you up.

Who's with me?

Cheers!
Nate

it should always be like this, so im definetly in 🙂

and another thing, no more lib.... erals acting like they are conservatives, that gets me more than anything

Okay with me. I think that "liberal" and "conservative" are cliches.

Bump for HS😉
Hey were is BBD too?

Anyway, can we get some more people in on this so we can get started? I have a realy big rant I want to go off on and would like it to be "dual use"😉 So we need to figure out where the money goes and how to tally offenses(per word usage or is it just one offense per post)
😀

I would think that this experiment would include both insults like that and political type "insults" or insinuations or whatever you want to call them.

**dual use post**

bump for HS and BBD.

Sure, as long as you know what I mean when I say "Gee gaard, that was an original well thought out point." 😉.

HS? BBD?
Rules? "kitty"? List?

You know, this will end up being like that preppy version of the Bud Light "whuzzup" commercials with the preps going, "What are *you* doing?"

No, we're going to ignore people like you.



Now, come on.

This is a good idea proposed.

Let's keep this from turning into a flame-fest. I know you all can be reasonable. Well...I hope, at least.

I would hope that you would all have the decency to take your squabbles to another thread, or, heaven forbid!, PMs.

Sorry, I probably allowed that to go too far but I couldn't figure out why perknose jumped me like that. It's not like anything I said was derogatory or an "attack" on him - I was merely vocally supporting him holding the kitty until this exercise was done and the $ was transferred. If I shouldn't have done that then I apologize🙂

Rules? "kitty"? List?
BBD? HS? JohnGalt? sMiLeYz? Come on people - everyone is doing it! Are you scared?😉

I'm all for it - I have been saying just recently that the anger and marginalization of others here is really disruptive of discourse. I would actually take it further, and disallow the words "neocon," "libby," and even, for the limited trial period, "liberal," since these are regularly thrown around like curse words here.
