Roll Call of Fallen Commrades

Much to the accompaniment of applause (minus the gang of 6) she is gone.

Whew. My blocked list is cut in half!!

[Teddy B 17,252]

I was never a fan of her constant whining about violations of the TOS while committing those same violations herself.

Hey we all do that very same thing. Some of us may not go as far as reporting a post, but we all like to prod each other about TOS violations when it suits us.

On a side note, 3 people have +1 your post, all 3 of them are guilty as sin of the same exact behavior that you are begrudging. The hypocrisy here is comical.

Then it's not the same thing. It's one thing to complain about the TOS, but it's something entirely different to go running to the mods getting threads closed and posts removed. I can't speak for the 3 that +1ed my post, but I'd guess they're not guilty of dishing it out, and then running to the mods when they get the same in return. So not really hypocritical at all.

Well you didn't claim that she ran to the mods in your first post, so I took it for what it said, that "you were never a fan of her constant whining of TOS violations."

How about that . Mine was cut by 50% also. Although I got a replacement in mind

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I can assure you, that I take a good deal of ribbing and poking, and don't report. Being in the middle I catch it from both sides, not to mention all the grammar jokes.

I take it all in stride, and laugh about most of it , because as Teddy said, I rib back at times. that is the difference he is missing.

A large number of us did not like her, and several had her on block. You liked her. difference of opinion. You have admitted you like and plus one anything with Boobs already, so we know why

I didn't really like her. But that doesn't mean I wanted her to go. People like her liven up things around here.

She had a problem with the moderation team's decision making - where you could be suspended for suggesting that a post is ignorant or bigoted, rather than for posting something which is...

Case in point. The other week I got suspended for writing "I bet it took a lot of intelligence to come up with that" in response to someone posting a meme in place of an actual on-topic post.

Yet just last week, in a single thread, I was called a wanker, a homosexual, a supporter of Hamas and someone tried to make fun of my divorce. Yet no suspensions or thread bans were handed out.

You have to wonder why.

i'd be pissed. I might even follow agent69 out the door.

What difference does it make who liked her and who didn't? She was not suspended and still free to post here, she left on her own free will. You admittedly had her on ignore because you are intimidated by smart women who speak their mind. That's fine if that's that's how you choose to deal with such matters. Having people with opposing views is what makes a discussion board work. Lot's of people didn't like Kip( I was not one of them), but I thought having him here was a benefit to the discussion board because he kept things lively.

When you lose controversy on a discussion board, you end up squawking at each other about irrelevant stuff in a thread about nothing. Sound familiar?

I had her on ignore, becuse she very rarely made any valid points, insulted in almost every post, and contributed very little. I can assure you I am not intinmidated by smart women who speak their mind, or I would not interact with Val, Maven and Penny so frequently. So that shoots that boat full of holes, unless you perhaps are saying they are not smart, which is what I guess you must mean.

If I did not like dissent and blocked opposing views, I would not be the bud and arch enemy of MBD, the most far left poster here or you for that matter would I. In fact i talk to people that disagree with me, far more than I do people that do agree with me, and most of the time I don't feel the need to insult them.

So yesterday when we had this exchange, you weren't being sincere about being intimidated by smart women who speak their mind? You were being sarcastic?

Yes, for the most part, I found her to be respectful. She had her moments like everyone here does. I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but from what I've seen you post here regarding our female members, I think you have a propensity to be intimidated by smart women who know how to speak their mind.

Those are VERY traditional foods in Korea. And I agree, I love them. Kimchi is a nearly perfect food. Oh and edit, the steamed dumplings are really good too.
