Diffusing the Threat from within

[Ban Hammer 13,512]

Make comments in a Post either direct or implied toward another member that are purposely designed to upset, antagonize, make fun of, belittle, or otherwise instigate an argument that takes away from the personal enjoyment of the Service by other users.

As long as that's part of the TOS, anything can be in violation.

yet it's not specifically forbidden, which was my point

btw, i'm offended that you replied to this. i'm gonna report you!

I'm suddenly enjoying these forums a lot less and I think it's your fault.

I think that its quite clear that you inserted yourself into this discussion to start a fight. Backpedaling? Anyone that knows me knows I wouldn't waste my time, nice try

Please show me an example of my hypocrisy from last week As a matter of fact, just bringing that up shows what a hypocrit you are yourself. I think bringing up a fight from last week where the topic got locked is a violation of TOS and no different that what Mawlison was accused of doing.

Its quite simple Jenn, take it as you like. I made a comment regarding something I read and I don't need to get prior approval from your for making posts. If you want to nitpick at it, that is your choice.

Go back and read, JP. How often do you mention that you can't tell others what to post? Do you not see that very statement as being hypocritical? I'm not the hypocrite, I don't keep going around telling people not to patrol the boards.

I was in the discussion before you were, so I have inserted myself nowhere, thank you.

You still don't understand this thread, that is not what mawilson was accused of doing.

Yes, I am nitpicking. Glad to know I can.

No, racism violates the TOS.

I see so your calling me a racist towrds Arabs?

No, I said you're defending it.

MENA didn't exist when the TOS was written. I do not believe in a "living TOS", I believe it was written by the Founding WebFounders to be taken literally. Maybe you believe it is a living document... how liberal of you.

Telling people what to post and telling them not to patrol the boards is not the same. Dont' patrol the boards meaning, don't tell me what I can and can't post. You were in the discussion before me? What a childish stance to take. My comments were quite clearly directed at one person. If you want to start a fight over it, which you already did, fine.

I know what Mawlison did and trust me we have not always seen eye to eye. I do understand this thread and what you don't understand is that I made a comment towards a comment I saw here. I have every right to post that and if you don't like it, then put me on ignore.

Yes it is quite obvious you are nitpicking me.

i'm offended! i'm gonna put in a judge that will rule in my favor!

edit to add: if mena didn't exist before the tos, just how freaking old is this site anyways?

No, I said you're defending it.

Isn't that the same thing? If I am defending racism against arabs like you are saying then wouldnt that make me a racist as you have already implied several times?

Sigh, fine. If you go back and read my original response to your first post, I think it was quite clear that I was trying to explain the context, as it *appeared* from your comment that you had missed it. You are the one who came back nasty. All a matter of perception I suppose.

I have not implied anything JP, anything I have to say has been said outright. You are defending mawilson's racism as well as any other non-Arab who sees a news report in the west.

I came back nasty? I have stated several times that my comments were not towards you yet you insist to keep fighting with me and called me a hypocrit for something that happened last week.

so if jp defends any non arab who sees a news report in the west, then she's sticking up for your rights too then, eh?

I shouldn't have said that, I apologize. You are right.
