This forum has, over the past several years, been the most abrasive, crude, and oftentimes disturbing forums I have been on.
I'm sure there are meaner ones...but I don't get a kick out of that shit so I wouldnt' know/care, but I am on several other normal forums, and the shit on this site is by far the worst. That is what I have come to expect from techsans.net. Free speach almost to the point of cruelty. Which is why I find it interesting that a Mod deleted someone's comments on that Amber Alert thread in the news forum; apparently the Mod knew the father of the baby. I agree that any comments on that are in poor taste, and not to my liking...but since when the fuck did any of that matter on here? I'm not going to do your homework for you, but you guys have taken countless tragedies and made jokes on them...used fucked up pictures as punchlines, etc. Do I find it offensive? Yeah pretty much daily I am offended by something on here, because I am a sweetheart  However since you actually KNOW someone the tragedy is centered around, THAT is when censorship and your moral high road are justified? I call bullshit. You guys can't have it both ways. You cannot be calloused, sick reprobates about most things, then selectively act all mother theresa. Just because you know the guy? Big fuckin deal. rant off |

 Why so serious? Group: Global Moderators Posts: 5,286 Joined: 22-February 06 From: Fate, TX Member No.: 4 |
I have ranted in the past against mostly political figures, Bush in particular.
I don't insults babies that were kidnapped and could have possibly been killed, unlike some assholes on here. You think you're so all knowing cupcake? So high and mighty? I didn't abuse mod powers *technically*. The comments were off topic, and were insulting to a friend/friend's child. I made a judgement call and stand by it. -------------------- |

what did it help to delete the comments? and why delete some rude comments, and not delete links to some of the absolutely disgusting pictures some people post on here?

Here's the options I'm seeing:
1.) I go forum nazi, like you all want, and delete anything and everything offensive. 2.) You people get it through your heads that a friend of mine's child, who had been KIDNAPPED, was insulted. I deleted posts for that reason...they were also off topic, and not pertinent to the discussion/topic. NPR, in it's ideal form, should be a forum for legitimate debate. The others, namely LRAR and Off Topic, are the one's meant for randomness. Sorry, I guess I'm an asshole for sticking up for my friend and his daughter. QUOTE (chook @ Mar 12 2007, 01:26 PM) I agree with it. With me or the rant, Chuck? QUOTE and if you're going to use the off-topic excuse, you got a lot more deleting to do ...guess you're right. -------------------- |

But I know what I've read in the past 3-4 years on here... I have a 1yr old son. I don't laugh at amber alerts. I also don't laugh at some of the other more objectionable material on here. I just ignore it. Insulting...man you guys have insulted everything from troops dying to the attacks on 9/11 to ripping on girls who in a moment of dumbass posted some slutty pics. Dead baby jokes flourish here. But that does not affect *you* directly, so who cares? But once it does...it's all about applying the e-brakes. I call it as I see it...there is a double standard applied. Or perhaps this is the first time some of you realize that just because it's on the web doesn't mean it's a joke. C'MON IT'S JUST THE INTERNET! LIGHTEN UP! is what everyone says. |

i agree...
i don't want to see a 80 yr old grandma's vagina when i click a forum link that is not why i come here things like that need to be linked and have a description or a warning so if things are going to be deleted and censored then that kind of shit should be the first to go -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

QUOTE Sorry, I guess I'm an asshole for sticking up for my friend and his daughter. no you're not...you are being "real". however I have yet to see a sacred cow on techsans.net until now. I think you did what you did in good taste. I also think this might be a time to re-reflect on perhaps distributing that more evenly, or not at all. |
