    Of course ... children can always be demeaned by adults. And for the sort of children who frequent the Sandbox, the mere presence of an adult is demeaning.

      *sigh* - let the lynching continue. The object loves the feel of the rope.

        The soapbox is for people to act as smart or as stupid as they want. Continually dismissing posts from Ilion just because they're from ilion is puerile and flies in the face of what the Soapbox is all about. I suppose that it would be easier to get one person to change their behavior than to get a bunch of people to do so, so I recommend to Ilion that he a) create a new account with a completely different userID, and b) change the way he acts on CP so as not to allow existing members to associate him with his previous self. It's long past time for this childish bullshit to stop - on both sides.

        The kiddies are behaving as they are because there is no cost to them to do so. I believe I indirectly pointed out months ago that that would be the effect.

          I recognized the futility in that approach long ago (and thus ignore his messages) - a mental leap that it looks like everyone else here refuses to make.

          Oddly enough, I mostly ignore you, too. After all, who could possibly reason with the author of the following:

          "You've made your point - you're a puerile little penile gland with the cerebral activity of a grain of sand. Stop your bullsh*t and let us be hypocrites in peace. If you haven't figured it out yet, we don't give a redneck dick slap about your opinions of CP or its users. So, go back to your GameBoy and leave the grown-ups alone." -- someone who surely knows whereof he speaks.

            And I vehemently protested bringing this particular aspect of the site to the soapbox. As you can see, my opinion carried no weight.

            Don't I remember you talking about having voted to delete a message and that it was your opinion that it took 13 votes to delete it?

            I don't recall that I was complaining about the number, but that someone asked how many it took, and I was relating my experience. Besides that, I was talking about other forums and articles. The Soapbox has always been a special case.

            So you're the reason the soapbox exists? Does that make you the proprietor, or the drunk guy standing on top of it?

              If anyone is aware of why the soapbox exists, it's me - because I'm the sole reason that it does exist (and that's a verifiable claim). The soapbox is here to keep people like Ilion out of the lounge (or at least to give him a place to post). I think everyone here needs to "up" their game a bit.

                I agree but he has not changed his behavior. Remember 'he who must not be named' in the Lounge? No matter how much we either chided, or mocked him, he continued his silly behavior. Until Ilion changes, I foresee others voting to remove his posts. Note that they are almost always already removed by the time I come to the SB.

                  They are removed so fast I rarely see them - I've only been able to read one in the last week. You aren't missing much...

                      With as little inspiration life hands out as it is, you gotta hold on to the tangibles you can reach.

                        That's my whole point. it shouldn't be happening in the Soapbox. If "he who shall not be named had been doing that crap in the soapbox, I wouldn't have care one bit.
