At least girlfriend's not in Tacoma; that's serious.

Uh, NO.

When an asshole makes sexually derogatory remarks (twice) about a member of the community and is unapologetic, I think all should see him for what he is.

I vote to ban them. All of them, permanently.

Refux - you're degrading me in every post you make. I never specifically referenced her anyway. More than one person lives in Ohio and we have at least a couple posters from there. Why is it you think l was referencing her anyway? Know something you'd like to share with the rest of us or are you just making assumptions as usual.

Flint, I think you're looking for this thread.

Nope this one - where I offered solutions.
He's kept it up nonstop. I let it go for weeks. Now we're back at it - why?

You really are a despicable little man and you demonstrate it more with each post.

First you attempt to rationalize your ignorant and offensive post by suggesting it was a joke.

Then a second offensive post...that we are supposed to believe is "not "specifically referencing" anyone.

Both the rationalizations of a guilty child caught trying to lie his way out when he knows he is in the wrong.

You are totally lacking in character and have no shame. I feel sorry for you.

Almost as bad as a whining vigilante maggot that keeps repeatedly attacking a fellow member for a post that didn't even concern them.

NOTICE: Posting as a moderator :NOTICE
After a long hot summer, things had settled down, almost civil in fact.
But you Sir, are an instigator, a trouble maker, ready and able to stir up shit to satisfy your petulant little ego.
Now stick to the topic of discussion, or a tangent, but stop the petty bullshit. (That applies to others also)
This has absolutely nothing to do with your politics, it has everything to do with being disruptive and intolerably irritating.

If you do not stop, either you will be gone, or I will.

Ban them! Ban them all![/Chancellor Palpatine]

As a MODERATOR, if you condone ignorant, offensive, sexually derogatory attacks against women members here, shame on you!

I think it is intolerable or should be by any member here.

If that means banning me, have at it. It will certainly make the low life, suck-up sycophant, verbally abusing of women, Classicman, happy.

As you wish.

xoB, if you have actually banned ReDux I feel you've made a mistake and urge you to take a second look.

Classicman could have ended the recent fracases at any time, and should have done so.
ReDux is usually quite factual in his postings, even when he is criticizing others.
He is just relentless, but so are some of the other Dwellars.

TheMercenary and Classicman both seem to be unable
to restrain themselves in creating or participating in such episodes.
Yet they are condoned by you and a few other Dwellars.
Merc openly advocates "capping" two named leaders of our government,
yet no one responds, and you support him by arguing with Spexxvet
over a 2nd instance of Merc's advocating assassination.
I find this quite strange.

Again, if you have banned ReDux, I urge you to re-instate him.
Otherwise,I suggest you follow the postings of Flint and SteveDallas
by banning all of us that tend to stir up the Politics forum.

I'm out of here for a while...:2cents:

Not strange at all. This community doesn't care what your "content" is. THE CELLAR IS NOT MODERATED FOR CONTENT. Again, in case you are not familiar with the concept, the relevant quality is whether an idividual displays a repeated tendency towards being INTOLERABLY IRRITATING. And yes, this is highly subjective. But, on the same hand, you ARE given unlimited "strikes" to redeem yourself.

I have never been an advocate of banning someone for ANY reason. But, in a moment of clarity, I made a massive policy reversal when I realized: I am sick and ƒucking tired of random threads being ruined by this CHILDISH BULLCRAP.

I concur with Bruce's decision. Dwellars may contradict, even disparage, other dwellars' viewpoints and methodologies. They may even find each other intolerable. When they indulge in character assassinations; however, they become generally irritating. Other dwellars begin to avoid forums where that kind of presence exists. When a moderator intervenes by pointing out disruptive behavior, the individuals concerned have the choice of accepting or rejecting the suggestion to not become intolerably irritating through continued disruption.

I've seen TheMerc respond to moderator intervention by deleting one of his own posts and I've seen [C]lassic regroup. Redux remains defiant and is apparently unable or unwilling to recognize that there's a difference between that which is intolerable to Redux (because Redux believes it should be intolerable to everyone else too) and that which The Cellar holds to be intolerably irritating behavior (e.g. repeatedly posting disruptive content like individual character assassinations, physical threats against other dwellars, spam ... etc.)

Redux has pushed the envelope here to see if he could muster enough support to change the existing Cellar standards to suit himself. He did not and now seems to doubt that he can function within our present guidelines. This is indicated by his statement "If that means banning me, have at it." I think Redux needs at least a time out to sort out whether or not he wants to be here enough to accept the community standards.

I still miss shawnee.

Who?

Will any shawnee do? Here's a shawnee666 [NSFW] that I once referred to in the "The (Blank) of the Beast" thread.

I miss her too.
Agree with the recent banning, but think we're still short 1....

What? Where's Shawnee. She can't leave.

sexobon gets it.

Hiding behind the guise of championing the Cellar ladies, (who are more than capable of taking care of themselves, thank you), isn't fooling anyone. Continually picking the same fight for months, trying to gather support, is tedious.

I banned him for 30 days. If he continues to be a disruption, he'll be gone for good.
If you don't like my decision, that's your privilege, in 3 months you'll have someone else.

Where's Zen disappeared to?

Are you saying you won't do it again? Because I think you did a great job just now, and it would be a shame if you you were out of the running for the next term.

Shit. What with being preoccupied with me, and also only dipping my toe in here, I hadn't even noticed the Shaw was missing. Which makes me feel horribly guilty.

When I was at work and free to waste as much time as I wanted on the internet (I did my work, but I was SO bored, hence career change) I was in constant contact with Shawnee. Also I was working and had spare money, so would send her silly little cheer-up gifts. When I moved back home my situation changed completely. I have LESS internet access, a more fulfilling job - even though I'm not paid for it - and much less money.

Personally I feel like I've abandoned Shawnee (and Bri, but she has a better support network).
I'm nowhere near egotistical enough to think this has contributed to her leaving, but I can't help wonder if I'd been there on PM as previously I might have been able to talk through the situation with her. Because I also missed the threads in which she felt attacked.

If you read this L, please come back!

Send her a PM, if she has it set up like me, it'll go to her regular email to let her know. Lets start a campaign of PM'ing shaw nice things!

Shaw pm'd me back. Says she's fine and loves all the awesome dwellars! She's just busy killing hobos and finding new hiding spots. The cops discovered the basement under the school that she'd been using so she's having to go further afield now.

I remember classic doing that, but not redux...

Yes I did and I apologized to him and the board. Whats your point?
Did it have anything to do with refux? no.

Stop stalking me.

:hide:

Don't be afraid! :)

Shhh I'm stalking not hiding.

Oh, ok, who are you stalking? I guess I don't get it.

I wish Zen would make an appearance also.

Casi, do you know what he's doing?

It is mid semester break around australia at the moment, so maybe he's gone away for a week or so...

Sorry man, I have had that dumb ass on ignore for months, I never read see or care what that idiot posts. He is not part of my Cellar experience.

Zengum's profile says he was here today. looks like he's not talking to us either. Did someone call him a ho, too?

You mean a ho ho?

No idea what Zen is up to or where he might be. It is mid-semester break though as you mentioned so maybe he's out spotting wildlife somewhere several hours north.

Spotting wildlife? Looking for Duck's? ;)

Hope he's taken his cammo with him, then. :)

I see a Ducky! Maybe she can tell us if she's had any Zen sightings.

Oh ha ha ha...funny fucks arent ya?



Ok, I admit, I chuckled...and its true

Zen's in Wagga in camoflauge gear?

Its good camo, I cant find him!!

Check behind trees.

or under bar tables...

or bathroom walls...

Or maybe he's engaging in some sort of partial post-Lent type fast.

he might be doing some target practice before he attempts the real thing...

Ohhh, maybe HE likes army boys too!!!

I don't get that impression. I could be wrong though I s'pose.

Bwaaaa hahahahahahahaha
:corn:

And Jap school girls?

I'm seeing a new porn genre.

Japanese schoolgirl camo? hello kitty shapes in pastel colors?

You're HIRED! we'll need a props master, erm mistress.

I was thinking army boys meet Japanese school girls at picnic at hanging rock. Sort of what HP lovecraft migth have written if he dabbled in porn.

We'll get CF to write the script in her spare time, Elspode can check for continuity errors, and we'll post the rest of the crew as we assign, *cough* positions.

shall we have classicman fix the comedy for us?

Sorry, not much funny in my world. I've been coming here just to vent lately.

Is there a position for me? ::batting eyelashes smiley::
