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.

Asking a question is an accusation? Only to the guilty I say.

You also speed, don't you. Admit it. (No, not the drug speed. Drive too fast.) You sick criminal.

Indeed, speaking as a guy, I always have at least one distraction at hand. :~
But some distractions are better in pairs.

Serious? You did mark it as abuse? :omg: That's just pathetic.

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.

OK. Please update your sig to post links to porn sites and we'll see if your theory holds true. :-D

Unlike you, I have not abused the voting system. I have used it to report abusive behaviour, not as a means of disagreeing with other members' opinions. I was not aware of the connection you imply between your African religion and porn sites -- but I am not interested, and do not wish to discuss it, so don't bother taking it to the soapbox.

When you make a nonsensical post and someone asks if your high, that's not abuse. Plain and simple. So, yes, you marked it as abuse therefore you abused the system.

What is abusive, there? You are a Christian. Christianity is an African religion. If it is your opinion that Christianity is not an African religion, I suggest you get an atlas, and look up the places named in your bible, because such an opinion is provably and incontestably wrong. If you think that it's right to call me abusive for speaking an obvious and incontrovertible truth, then I'd say it's likely that the wrong person was accused of being under the influence of illegal substances.

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
"No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions" Who is discussing politics? Its a sig, if you don't like it, ignore it, but reacting to it and trying to ban it is turning it into a discussion, so YOU are breaking the rules of the lounge by dong so.
Sign a petition calling for the boycott of Israel until it returns to its legal 1967 borders.
