Self Policing Militia Summons

For the record, I am not a plant or "put" here by anyone...nor do I have any affiliation with the Obama administration, the DNC or the Democratic party, other than being a registered Democrat.

UT...I would be happy to have a moderated discussion on posting styles if you think that would be helpful.

Right here is you missing the whole point of the Cellar.

Unfortunately, your style makes that conclusion almost as logical as it is paranoid. You do stick to the talking points which is why the lefties stick with you. Because we don't know you, those of us on the center/right just assume you're recycling the info from the administration emails rather than digesting information and drawing your own conclusions.

To me personally, the complete loss of the politics forum has been a bummer. I need to read real peoples reactions to events to sort out where we're headed. Right now we're getting a sliver of the story from two highly partisan folks who give no indication that they care about this community or the people in it. I have not helped the situation by popping off on each of you when my annoyance over the nonsense gets too intense. I consider Shawnee and Classic to be casualties of this war. They each want to come in on the "right" side but because it isn't actually a discussion nuance is despised.

I'd like to see a separate Politics for Asshats forum that everyone can post in and our two offenders are limited to.

Oh get the ƒuck over yourself...are you ƒucking kidding me??? This is truly one of the biggest "WTF" posts I have ever read anywhere on the internet. This person has clearly lost all sense of context. Redux: NOBODY cares about your pointless scribblings on some backwater message board in the outer spiral arm of the vast interwebz. Everything posted on this board is DUST IN THE WIND. We, and I speak for all of us (correct me if I am wrong), enjoy posting here as a way of interacting with other human beings.

Hey fuckface, if you want to type the word fuck then type the word fuck. Quit dancing all around the word. Do you think you're special because your little f is a little different than everyone else's little f? Fucking elitist.

And Jebus GAWD I hope you're kidding too.

I always assume that some people my have profanity filtering on their internet connection at work. I don't want to be the one who gets Cellar content blocked. So when I type ƒuck I do the "F" as Alt+0131 (hold down the Alt key and type 0131 on the numeric keypad).

How's about just not using that word? Or some of the other ones? What is really being added by using profanity? If your argument is a load of crap, it's a load of crap. Cursing someone out isn't going to make it better.

I try to type in a natural manner of speech. If, in real life, I would say to someone "What the ƒuck are you talking about?!" then I would type that same thing to that same person, online. What is being added, not exclusively by the profanity, but by a variety of editorial decisions, is a conversational quality to the post.

Please elaborate. Do you find a specific "argument" of mine to be a "load of crap" or are you saying that it MUST be a "load of crap" BECAUSE it included profanity? Are you of the mistaken impression that I have implied somewhere the belief that the inclusion of profanity is a guarantee towards quality of content (i.e. what is "being added" mentioned above)? Where is the phantom argument that you are refuting here?

Oh, and, by use of the word "crap" is your own post, is the post itself not completely invalidated (by your own logic)?

Huh? Redux was responding to a direct accusation from TheMercenary. He didn't say that out of the blue.

Oops. I don't necessarily always "read" the threads.
