About the Kid Sister Rule, Bad Words and Firearms
-
Really? Do you have rules, even unwritten ones, about the behaviour of guests in your house, your workplace? Usually those rules never need to be made explicit - people just abide by the social norms. If the internet worked like that and didn't, instead, empower the anonymous and unreproachable, then the world be be a better place.

Sorry, you have created a company where engineers contribute articles for FREE, and give FREE advice, for your material gain, and you expect them to abide by YOUR rules as if invited to your house? Get a grip Maunder. --edit-- And no doubt because I have questioned the veracity of the 'oh mighty one' this acount will be deleted too, just like the last one.

Well that was probably the starting point for my argument. Jimmy's reinstatement is not relevant to the fact that the net result of all this is that The Lounge has become a retirement home.

I agree totally. CP used to be fun back before voting, when people could discuss anythign openly. Now between the actions of Maunder and a few self elected CP police it has become boring. It is the reason Oakman set up SB1, because of voting. But it had to be a provate forum, so it didnt attract new comers and casual users so is dying out. I say make CP what it used to be, remove rep points. Remove voting.

If anything, you're pouting against the new feature that allows a few members to gang up and ban some person in particular. However, it does not happen all that often or without strong motivation, and when the cause is unfair, Chris is doing his part to make it even.
Quite frankly that is BS.

Oh, welcome back fatty. Your case was different though. :)

You've got your CP history a little wrong. The Soapbox was originally created because of me. At some point, the Soapbox because so controversial, that "The Back Room" was created to contain the more inflamatory messgaes, and the SoapBox was re-purposed. Ironically, I rarely visit either one.

And discussion of GW is going to get it banned is it? And yet that is another 'rule' the self elected lounge police have imposed thanks to the quite franknly offensive voting system.

Did you edit your post for a typo? The email notification I got said And discussion of GE Just checking if something weird is going on with the charset or whatnot.

So I've read what happened to Jimmy and I find it sad. The point is, how is writing shit any worse than writing about firearms? I find it's a welcome discussion topic here. As far as I know, firearms are much more dangerous than shit, but such topic is not censored - nor it should in my opinion.

Many kid sisters use firearms. Heck, my cousin got a 223 for her 14th birthday.

Oh, you mean fat_boy? Yes, I heard his account was deleted by Maunder, not by downvoting. And because of what? He never swore in the Lounge! He might have had strong views but since shen did mediocracy become mandatory? His account was deleted because he posted GW stuff in SB. Gosh, what shocking behaviour! :laugh: :laugh:

I know. I said SB1 was created by Oakman to be like the poriginal SB when voting was added and the BR created.

Because they have totally lost their fun? How Chris could consider closing the SB I dont know.It was the best forum on CP, lively, amusing, chalenging. Occasionally used by a few nutters, but on the whole a jolly good place. :)
