I do not think a voltare meant tht a software site should publish political messages. In general i agree there ahould be a venue to vent them out. But not at a software site

There are two venues on this site: The Lounge (here) for general discussions, and The Soapbox for politics and religion. If you don't like the discussions or their content you are free to comment, or ignore them.

He was calling for boycott of Israel in his signature. Very political, completely inappropriate here and has nothing to do with coding from my point of view.
Nick Polyak
So you think requesting international law, as judged by the UN, be enforced is unsuitable material for the lounge? :) Ah yes, Israel, that old nugget. Well, like it or not, I have a right to espress my opinions and denying me that puts you in the same boast as the Paris Islamicists.
Sign a petition calling for the boycott of Israel until it returns to its legal 1967 borders.

I understand your point of view, but i hold a different one. This is a software site and we should not get into political wars on it.

No, its far more than that and always has been, which you are fully aware of, so don't try pretending that THAT is your excuse.

Cool! I'll have to boycott Israel in my sig, too! Or Syria. I'm allowed to boycott Syria, right? @rseholes who impinge on people's freedom of speech (whether I agree with their views or not) get short shrift, from me. The CP voting system was not instigated to be used for political means.

The Lounge has specific rules and his sig was a clear violation of it. I mentioned it to him long ago, although I didn't vote him down for it, but the sig clearly is political and should not be in the lounge.

I do not plan to discuss politics at a site that explicitly forbids discussing politics. I come to it to share my software knowledge

:thumbsup: You are correct. It's a violation of Lounge rules and there is nothing wrong with ignoring it and there is also nothing wrong with reporting it. I think Mark's just looking to fight.

Wow. The old testament and the new testament working together to suppress the opinions of those who follow neither. Whatever next?

Meh. I've just grown blind to signatures, and carry on happily with my life. This is a coding site, and I'm not going to summarily dismiss someone whose political viewpoints I don't necessarily agree with. Certainly not when it wasn't even the point of the thread he started.
Quite right. Advertising isn't allowed, either, but plenty of people put links to their web-sites in their sigs. The followers of African religions don't complain about that, so their "Oh, it's not allowed!" is just an excuse for denying people's right to have opinions contrary to theirs. But the main point is that abusing the voting system in this way is harmful to CP, and their defence of it opens the door to even more trollish behaviour.

Accusing other members of being drug addicts, and therefore criminals, is something that does qualify as abuse.

Indeed, speaking as a guy, I always have at least one distraction at hand. :~

It was a clear infringement of the rules. The statement "no abusive conduct" is present in the boilerplate on every Lounge page. Your intention was not to be humorous; you did not post it as a joke, so it was abusive conduct. If you are abusive to me again, I will report it as abuse again. Denying other members the right to hold personal opinions is also abusive conduct. Putting an opinion in your sig no more breaks the rules than putting your web-site address in your sig. It's a sig; it is not the content of the message, and I have yet to see anyone posting here just to get their sig seen.

You do not say that as a joke, and you do not say it as my friend, therefore it is more abuse. Jus' following the rules that you insist must be followed.

You know my intention? Nope, you're wrong. I responded to your post that there was nothing wrong with the sig by stating that the sig is in violation of the lounge rules (no politics.) Then, ironically, you respond with something about the old and new testament (a violation of rules since you're bringing in religion) which made no sense. It was nonsense. That's why I asked if you were high. Perhaps since English is not your native language I can see why you got offended but your response made no sense whatsoever. If I truly offended you and you're not just trolling, then I apologize.

As an English (as in "from England") writer, I can confirm that getting the first million words published is indeed the hardest. The several million that followed cost much less pain. Whether or not you offended anyone is irrelevant. You have stated that the rules have to be followed, so I shall follow them. Now, when will you start following the rules that you insist on? If someone does not discuss religion, they are not breaking any rules, and the sig is not where discussions take place. Abusing the voting system is unacceptable, and will lead to others believing that they have the right to do so, too. Cease and desist.
