    lol what? You are cleverly not adressing anyone in your comment, but this is exactly what I meant, a post with the only purpose to provoque people and the kind of post that would start the degeneration of a thread that has been relative neutral.

    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

      why should i be "addressing" anyone? i'm replying to you.

      what on earth are you talking about? it seems pretty unanimous that people regard the SB as "a sewer", "toxic", "poisonouse" (your own word), "crude". people here are described as "people that I would probably hate in real life" and you're upset because i pointed out that it was full of racism ? in addition to everything above, it was full of racism. and that's a big reason why i stopped going there, long before Chris pulled the plug on it.

        That's the difference, we were mostly speaking about a place or the messages. Should you have said it like this the first time... I would have told you nothing. And I am not upset, I just didn't like your comment:

        You took the personal way directly insulting some people. There is a subtile difference between both approaches. This is exactly the way to start a "fight" which was my point the whole time. We could continue like this for long time, but I am not going to do it. If you want to see the difference I tried to point you, perfect. If not... well, then don't. I just don't want to get into the loop. So... Have a nice time :)

                  If one's opinions are not in line with Griff's then they become "ill formed" opinions. Double standard at this site, always remember that. Double standard. There will never be a Soapbox again. Get over it. Go to 4chan.org forum=pol if you want to banter without consequence. Be sure to wear a full body condom as 4chan.org is a portal to hell, and if you are not careful, it will eat you alive. Cheers. :thumbsup:

                        this post illustrates the double standard. Making derogatory comments about site members and nothing happening to OP.

                        This is not an example of a double standard. That was a general statement, nothing aimed at anyone in particular, and not a personal attack. That's what was happening in the soapbox, and is one of the reasons it's gone. Here, I'll make a "derogatory comment about site members" similar to the OP's: Some people suck. Do you see a double standard here, and a reason "something should happen" to me for making such an assertion?
