Is it really that hard to keep “Dude, STFU” out of politics?
Is it really that big a deal if you tell someone STFU?
I miss your posts.
no that honeybrowns
You’ve said a lot worse to me in politics, along the lines of “Shut up, you constantly post bullshit.”
You never insulted me. Re-read my post & PM to you from page 1. Then re-read the sticky about the rules in the ‘Politics’ forum. It’s just that simple; I’ve warned you and talked about it plenty of times.
Telling someone to either stop saying the same thing or shut up is necessary.
:lol: All I have to say about this is:
It took 67 posts in this thread before someone posted something good.
If you want to just shout at people, sure. But not in a debate when you’re trying to convince someone that your point of view is correct. Remember debate club in high school? You’d be throw off stage for saying this:
And for reference, here is the what I wrote in the sticky about the rules of the politics forum:
Do people actually die in this fight club? I certainly hope so.
Well, the “circle of trust” has been broken and after several leaks it’s time to rebuild Fight Club
I’ve sent a PM to everyone with access telling them that we’ve closed this forum.
DO NOT LEAK THAT IT’S STILL OPEN.
Before tonight there were 52 people with access to this private section. That’s way to much. Too many people who’s brother’s cousin’s friend has access.
Those with Fight Club access have been pruned down to this list:
All Admin & Mods
2TurboZ
93dx–hatch
Fry
ILC
JayS
Joe
LZ
MPD47
newman
walter
Inn-Tune
That’s 11 people to start.
Now we’re not just going to start adding anyone who asks; we need to create a criteria for admission. Post up your idea’s and thoughts.
Some of mine:
- No ‘lurkers’ or un-active members who only want to read and not contribute.
- No ‘whiners’ or people who want to bitch about not being able to see this section.
Your infrastructure is weak.
>>I N F I N I T Y - E X I S T S<<
and the original list:
2TurboZ, 4DOORBABE, 87FOXGT, 93dx–hatch, AngryRomanian, b18ctrb, Bacon, bladez, BooSting, Carnut, choko, Daddie, Devioustsi, fbrendan, flyinbynight, Fry, Geoff, gsx, Half-Breed, HDcruiser, ILC, Inn-Tune, Jam, JayS, Joe, JoesTypeS, Jskrapper, justa4door, LZ, micah, mindless, mongo, MPD47, newman, Nikuk, Ninja, nitroinsane, OfficerK, Ovrwrkd, Paulo, pr0pel, psphinx81, psychopjv, RuBiCaNT, ShiftDead, SkunkApe, StairSRT4, sureshot!, Tevenor, walter, Xander, xbimmerx
I did it for beer. I swear it was for the beers.
LOL so this is a high school debate club now? Just cause I’m bored at work I’ll play your game.
Stay on topic. Keep tangential issues out of specific topics of discussion. If you wish to discuss the broader effects of many issues, start a new thread.
Check. However the post I was ridiculing actually didn’t do this. Socialism has nothing to do with bank regulations. It is conservative mud-slinging, which is against the rules, and by definition, a tangential issue. I was actually enforcing the rules for you. You fail.
No personal insults or attacks. Everyone is entitled to their personal opinion even if you don’t agree with it. Those who can’t present their points of view without personally attacking other members (calling someone an ‘idiot’ for example) will not be allowed to continue to use this forum.
Pointing out that someone just calls everything socialism, (and actually IMed me LOLing saying he just does that to fire us lefties up and start shit) is not a personal insult or attack. I then went on to present my point of view clearly and concisely in order to keep the debate about policy decisions.
This is going to be another event that ruins my peaceful Monday nights at brennans isn’t it…
What do you mean? I liven them up
ugh nick, you need to stop acting holier than thou about this. no one cares. srsly.
On a completely related topic…
This is funny… Im glad Im not a drama queen and I generally keep to myself on this board. It seems pretty simple… rules are posted, follow them, break them? get warned. Ive been warned before, no big deal, I actually knew it was coming when I posted what I did to receive the warninig. I laugh it off and move on. Theres a reason my post count is so low yet Ive been a member for a loooong time- I usually (not always) but most of the time use the board for what its meant to be used for- automotive related questions/ knowledge. And even before I go posting something I check to see if its been addressed so I dont get the R-E-P-O-S-T train from everyone that have nothing better to do but sit on this forum all day long. Ive surfed the OT section and even that is nowhere near as amusing as it once was awhile ago. Id like to know the average age of most memebers on here…
The most useful contribution to the board Fight Club made was
“LOL I was wrecked off Honey Browns last night…f***ing hilarious.”
That was originally a double post in FC by ShiftDead, then went viral.
