If you find anything I posted that address you, then you are reading into it what is not posted. After all, "What a load of crap" insults no one - because the poster proclaimed he was not insulting. At no time in that post do I address any person. You have only jumped to interpretation based upon your own bias. According to your standards, those posts must be taken as intended - not as perceived. "What a load of crap" is not an acceptable way to respond to anyone's post - according to your reasoning. Meanwhile, I don't see anything posted by Duck_Duck that even comes close to being as insulting as "What a load of crap". “What a load of crap because …", although containing insulting and unnecessary profanity, once was considered differently. Reasoning behind that conclusion (after the word 'because') expressed logically would not be so insulting. That is my original standard for civility - before you changed the rules to endorse open use of profanity at any time. Yes I am questioning what is acceptable civil posting because in my book, use of profanity without specific fundamental reasoning behind it is insulting to everyone in the Cellar past and present - including Duck_Duck and Onyxcougar. The way I saw it, this open use of intentionally hurtful profanity is the reason why so many left the Cellar. It had nothing to do with 16 year old posters such as Duck_Duck. "What a load of shit" was only posted to insult. Last edited by tw; 07-03-2007 at 06:49 PM. |

New standards. A foreigner cannot post criticism of America from a 16 year old's perspective. But criticisms of posts chock full of profanity is acceptable as long as it does not directly insult the poster – only insults his posts. All posters are now encouraged to start their posts with "What a load of shit" since it only insults the other poster's post and clearly does not insult any person. What a load of shit" is the acceptable way of saying "I simply don't agree".
A standard now exercised in another discussion never once insults anyone: Sorry About Our President.Com |

This is America. We've got so many waiting to get in, we don't have to kill the same one twice.

And who is it that seems to believe splayed is a spelling variant of sprayed?
Tw's oft-demonstrated inability to copyedit does nothing for his arguments -- and this is but fact.
