    Wow, what a trip. I have not been able to catch up on the drama until now. So, we had Metard and his tallywhacker, Berry and his triple made up troll, Goldenbull is band, and now we have a full on Coup de grace?

    Austin never cut off your nose to spite your face dude. You are sounding like a preacher. You are so worried about new members and the growth of your congregation, that you are forgetting about the ones who got you (SI) here. I can't agree with all the hate and biatches getting slapped up side the head with a pepperoni, but you can't herd cats bro. This forum is classic because of its chaotic nature.

    Wow...reminds me of when I was a kid, me and brother had the whole living room torn apart building our "fort" and Dad gets home right when it was getting fun!

    I think a little review of protocol given to us in the good book might be appropriate here, if you will oblige me for a moment (from Luke 14:1,7-11, Contemporary English Version):

    How To Be a Guest


    1 One Sabbath, Jesus was having dinner in the home of an important Pharisee, and everyone was carefully watching Jesus.

    7 Jesus saw how the guests had tried to take the best seats. So he told them:

    8 When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best place. Someone more important may have been invited. 9 Then the one who invited you will come and say, “Give your place to this other guest!” You will be embarrassed and will have to sit in the worst place.

    10 When you are invited to be a guest, go and sit in the worst place. Then the one who invited you may come and say, “My friend, take a better seat!” You will then be honored in front of all the other guests. 11 If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.


    Thus, it has been my casual observation that when a new person arrives, and has even a whiff of arrogance, they are met with resistance and humiliation. I will say that I don't always agree with the "manner" in which this gets executed, however, it is apparently and principally the paradigm in both in heaven and on earth, thus most appropriate.

    Carry on.

    I'm not forgetting anyone. If you guys want to blow this out or proportion than by all means feel free. I'm merely enforcing the rules that have made this place.

    Mountain out of a mole hill.

    I don't like that you called us "sons" because it's condescending and hurts my little feelings.

    Other than that make any rules you want.

    I will give you a thousand dollars if you show where I said MSNBC was impartial... I'm not taking anyone's side, I'm just saying that saying people should stop hiding behind SIMOD "whatever" should stop hiding behind their screen names and post their real names... it's the same logic.

    i agree with this as well. keep in mind, most people never get an infraction, let alone banned. most people here want to talk about surfing, one way or the other, and should be able to do so without getting trashed, whether it's their first post or their thousandth post. people who disagree with each other should leave it in thread where they disagreed, not drag their disagreements into every other thread - that's disrespectful to everyone.

    and with regards to the consistency of moderation, keep in mind that none of the mods see all the threads and all the posts within. so there is some bad behavior that will get by unseen - it's the nature of the beast, not a bias towards or against anyone.

    i too appreciate Austin's efforts - the tone here has gotten much nastier in the past year (i think the election has something to do with that). at any rate, we would like to change the tone and make this place a little less hostile to everyone. the rules have not changed, but the enforcement will - this will not affect most members.

    and fwiw, i have been here for a long time as well, but have no other identity on here.

    You're a laugh riot, siggbutt :rolleyes: You & passive aggro company consultant the asstail honky are the root cause for a majority of the DEFCON6 situations here.

    If a newb's feelings get hurt by The Buoyz demanding pics of their wife or gerbil, do they bench 400, do they pier shot 23 footers, bang Hindus & drive the best whip on the block, then I would venture to say that said asshat doesn't belong on the Forume.

    Everyone here, and I mean everyone (including me, I got eripped), got The Welcomme Treatemente upon landing herewith. Some went ballistic, some curled up in the corner to bawl & some took the hits & kept on rollin.' And those are the guys, and Betty, that make Yee Olde Forume an alright place to give shiiite & get shiiiite.

    Listen, even the NBA & NFL & MLB rookies, and they're all multi-millionaires, got to pay dues, fill water coolers, stand & sing the song of their alma mater, get hotfoots in the dugout, get room service bills for stuff they never ordered.....

    Austine, you may be a millenial, pretty sure you are. Look, kid, the gen that raised your gen didn't do you guys any favors with how they coddled you special kids. Not everyone gets a trophy in the big game of Life.

    Your gen shows up at corporate with an over-priced, nearly useless collitch dgree & very little real-lfe experience (sorry, that art museum analysis tour of Europe that mummsy & da-da paid for doesn't count) & pitches a fit when the Senior Execs won't listen to their self-inflated ideas.

    Same crap going on here with the over-mods.

    We can handle ourselves. Always have.

    I'll also remind you that the number of clicks that this tread alone has generated will allow your blackhat masters to sign up more hapless advertisers & pocket the proceeds.

    I expect good natured hazing. It's funny and I enjoyed it when it was my turn. Like I said I like it here, I'm just trying to put a stop to what other's and myelf are perceiving as vicious attacks.
