A Plea to Long Time, Level-Headed Members Who Still Post Here

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Most recent 15 posts discussing 'what's a petard' have been split off and made into their own -hopefully light-hearted - topic in Off Topic so as not to distract further from the discussion theme of this thread. New location is here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/258517-whats-a-petard/

Party Pooper!

The offshoot thread has become surprisingly entertaining!

I would find it best to leave this alone as many here are being hypocritical in their posts and acting innocent when they are not.

Man up if you dare

I note with sadness that this conversation has fallen apart following the removal of the petardedness.

Leave it to a moderator to be the killjoy

Surprised? I'm not.

I also see that my question about how Rob hoisted himself on his own petard has also gone unanswered. Really, some people.

We need more of you to participate in the Off Topic Forum. For those who are level-headed, you know who you are and you've probably avoided OT because of the handful of posters who've made it less enjoyable to have reasonable discussions about a lot of topics that deserve some serious thought. Of course, not every thread needs to be serious, but I think the ones here who've been long time members and are still here, are staying in the upper forums where there is less tolerance for playground behavior.

I find your support of illegal immigration to be against VJs TOS. But it seems to be tolerated in OT.

A smart person wouldn't post in such a way that validates the "disagreeable" post that they are quoting.

The op is talking about 'playground behavior' I'd hardly call Rich's comment as such.

Can you cite the appropriate section in the TOS? That may be helpful.

i'm assuming he is referring to the last bullet under the permitted uses section.

Permitted Uses. You agree that you are responsible for any Content and communications that you Post and for any consequences thereof. You agree to use the Service (including but not limited to the discussion forums) only to send and receive messages, material, and in general Content that is “in conformity with or permitted by law†(legal), proper and if part of the discussion forums then also related to the particular subject matter.

Well, that settles it then!
