Double Standards - Where is the line drawn? (page 5)

DannyBear

I have two questions for all those who seem bent on appologizing for Kent/etal foul mouthed, profanity wielding attack dogs, on this board.

When was the last time, in real life, one on one conversation, someone called you an 'asshole'? I don't mean the word couched in silly voice inflected, jest. I mean in the spirit of 'in your face'...furrowed eyebrows style.

When was the last time, in real life, one on one mingling with the public has someone yelled FUCK YOU, DIPFUCK, DICKHEAD?

Unless you are a self flagellating masochist, you probably try to avoid such senario's. Or perhaps your personality is such, that you find this kind of conduct, normal. If you do, many will define your circumstance as being 'trailor trash'.

If you defend this type of human interchange as positive or with redeaming quality...you probably are 'trailor trash'. With a shortened life span, probably in your future.

Hell, people are shot everyday world wide, for something as trite as a misdirected glance, let alone the provocation of 'attack profanity'.

Cuss, yell, scream, puke it out all you want. I do often. JUST DON'T DO IT AT ME!!!! You get it dim wits. Cussing is fun, cussing at someone is low life. You deserve everything that comes your way, if you choose to assualt, you will be assulted in return.

Most revilers in this lala land of cyberspace, would never have the real fortitude, to cuss and malign someone in real life, like you play at here. You cowards are not fooling anyone. Except other cowards who do not want to loose the only release, for thier pent up cowardly hostility. To cuss at and malign in the complete privacy and comfort of your easy chair...nobody breathing down you little peevish throats, ready and able to make you think twice, before opening your big 'nasty mouths'.

Take or leave it....I don't give a shit! (see more expressive than hostile)

Danny,
If you think I lack the fortitude to tell someone FU in r/l you dont know me at all dear.You assume a lot without really knowing. You obviously missed that Simon has created a forum for the language you just used.It's no longer appropriate. Bring it where it now belongs.Tina

Tina,

Your calling for the deletion of my above post, goes against everything you claim to uphold.

Very confusing trying to follow what Tina really believes. First your advice is to just ignore, offensive posts. Then you turn around and start asking Simon to delete my post. What gives Tina?

You cannot have freedom of expression, and then cry when someone says something you don't like. If you call for the deletion of my thread based on the use of foul language (directed at no one) then why arn't you displaying your 'righteous anger'- calling for the deletion of all the other posts filled with foul 'attack profanity' generated by some of your friends? This is a perfect example of hypocracy.

Also Tina if you take note of the time I posted this, no such forum had been created, nor had Simon as yet given his directives. So if this post is removed, it will be done very selectively, and that would be unfair, no?

Double standards....yes I think you have displayed such in this case.

danny,
I am going along with Simons decision here. It may not neccesarily be what I believe,but it's his board and his call.
There is a new forum called "Sdults and Disagreements. Simple,nothing confusing if you just read exactly what i wrote and nothing into it that isnt there.
No hypocisy at all either. If flames(which is what you just did) and blanket attacks are now verboten,and the ensuing qualifying names your 'buddy' added to your flame post well, that goes for you as well as the rest of us.The hypocrisy is thinking that this new instruction applies to only one group of posters and not all,including yourself and friends. Many times flaming posts are couched in a polite format,without the swear words.(such as your friend has done)Doesn't make em any less a flame.

Tina,

Simon is doing the right thing. I agree.

You did not address any of my comments about double standards, but thats ok. I understand.

Yes Tj is a buddy, in every sense of the word. We have talked via the phone, and I have alot of respect for the man. I know you do not like him, you have made that very clear, but he also has the right to express his thoughts, just like you. Why you seem to insist that everyone be catagorized and put in slots, for what they believe is really not very pretty Tina. Must you carry a grudge. I will try and be more forgiving, will you?

Thanks for the comments.

Tina, you don't get it, do you? You really don't get it. Simon isn't after a certain group of posters. He isn't even after calm and quiet, comatose discussions. What he's after is civility. Common, everyday good manners. I think you know what that means. If you don't, you should. You're old enough to know.

You use terms like "troll" and "flaming posts" and what you mean by those expressions only you can say. Others may mean something entirely different. I'd ask you to define "flaming post" but I seriously doubt your ability to do so with a definition that was consistent across the board. Your exchanges here in this thread with Danny might be described as 'flaming' by some with an agenda, which is what you have much of the time, imo.

The point is, rude behavior, crass language and silly, juvenile insults are not appropriate and never were, whether the venue is a real life exchange of ideas or one on an online db. The sad fact is that some have hidden behind the anonymity of cyberspace, taking needless advantage of the distance between them and the object of their ruthless and evil comments and employed conversational methods they'd never use as casually in r/l.

I am optimistic that Simon's plan will be effective. If you don't like it, you can do what you did when h2o no longer suited your purpose. Just don't let the doorknob hit cha where the dog shoulda bit cha...

Nice try, Ginny. Nice try.

I've learned my lesson on Simon's board, Teejay.

From now on I will smile when I imply that I would like to stone someone, and I'll be sure I don't use any crass language as I cast that first big rock.
