I'll just tag the mods when I see personal insults.

Go Blazers!
The report function works. I don't want to put you on ignore because you're funny and have some good takes, but I feel like you're taking this personal. It's not just insults that get edited. Trolling is a thing too, and you were definitely doing it.

Or just keep on doing what your doing. It's not getting old at all..
 
I reported the OP because you put ABM in the thread title and linked an article that calls boomers ideological fools. Yeah that's a personal attack.
 
Did you report ABM asking crandc for a lapdance?

The article pondered why boomer conservatives might post fake news. Abm is a conservative boomer. Doesn't mean everything the article is pondering is all abm.
Regarding your first statement/question, Sly admonished ABM for that and gave him a warning that would not be tolerated. I'm not sure but I think ABM apologized.
 
If you think asking a lesbian woman (because he knows she is a woman and a lesbian) isn't trolling or worse i don't know what to tell you.
This is the dumbest thread ever. Whoever created this obviously poops in a box.
 
Good morning everyone!

I'm just going to take a few moments to explain some things.

For the record, since there seems to be some confusion over what was initially posted here is the original title of this thread:

r7pm1KT.png


So 3 words were edited in the original title.

No other edits or deletions were made.

The post was flagged and the staff was asked to look at the title.

@PtldPlatypus saw the request first and changed the title.

I actually saw it around the same time and in the request, I told PP good job on the change.

So, I signed off on it. The buck stops with me. If you are upset with the title change, please direct your anger at me, not PP or any other staff members.

...

While not the worst of insults, yes, that was insulting.

And it being a relatively minor insult all that was warranted was a small edit and moving on.

Which is precisely what PP did.


...

The lap dancing posts:

Also in this thread, we had ABM make a comment about Crandc and lap dancing.

While this is not a personal insult it was gross. I and a few others expressed that to ABM.

Instead of reading the room and stopping, ABM decided to double down on the Crandc/lap dancing crap.

That resulted in 2 PMs to me about his 2nd post and while I was being narrowly focused on personal insults, the person (not crandc or slypokercat) pointed out to be that those continued comments are or come very close to being sexual harassment. In looking at it that way I have to agree. I don't recall a trading of jokes or teasing interaction between ABM and Crandc. So ABM claiming he was or is just joking doesn't really hold true.

I told ABM very clearly that he cannot continue to post things like that. But also I left the comments up because if ABM continues to make posts like that I needed receipts to explain why I took the actions that I will have to take.

Sometimes people do forget what they posted, even in this thread the cat has repeatedly claimed that he called ABM a boomer conservative in his original thread title and as you can see that is not accurate. The words boomer and conservative were never in the title.

...

@SlyPokerCat you know I think the world of you. I'm sorry that you're upset over the change to your thread title.

@ABM I also think highly about you, I'm asking you as nicely as I can, please stop with the sexual innuendo with our female forum members.

As usual, good post.
 
I'm not saying I called him a boomer conservative in the thread title. That's what the article is about. Boomer conservatives being more likely to share fake news on Facebook. I substituted republican boomer for ABM.

And just to be transparent. It was not me that made any harassment allegations on this.

@SlyPokerDog confirm that please.

This is 100% correct. You were not the one who sent me that PM or had anything to do with it.

I updated the post to make that clear.
 
I don't see any reason a posters name should ever be in a thread title in the first place. But that's just me.

What you are saying is that it is OK to tell a fucktard to "suck a d**k" but not ok to tell a fucktard "suck a d**k, you fucktard". Seems like a rather silly policy, but whatever.

There is one phrase of a compound sentence that is utter bullshit here. A blatant untruth, a dog's lie.
Can you guess which one?

P.S. Cowboys and Yankees suck.

You rock @Lanny!

But why do I feel conflicted about being included in this post?
My post was meant as a well deserved compliment. In all honesty I could say something nice about everyone in here.
As my grandmother born in 1882 used to say, you can attract more ants than with vinegar. Therefor point out someone's good qualities while trying to avoid their foibles unless their foibles are outrageous.

You're a good guy. Even-keeled.

Thank you Sir, I'm actually honored.

That was just a poor attempt at ribbing the other fine gentleman you mentioned.
