That being said, dulling this place down would be like putting a gun to our heads... suiciiiiiide. We need the loose lingo, the slingin' slander. It's what makes (or made, in the eyes of some) this forum interesting and unique.
if you hate somebody and want to give em' the old verbal haymaker, do it in a PM or through some other form of communication. We all know there's rivalries here, we all know there's tension between members and groups. But banning won't do much of anything; we need to grow up and keep the trouble out of the spotlight.

Reading through this thread, I don't think this guy should be banned just judging on what he's said. But hey, I only joined this morning and I don't know any past history of anyone.
All i mean is that if someone is purposefully going after someone repeatedly making hateful comments towards someone without merit, and it's obviously that's he's just doing it to be rude and will continue to do it, then sure, ban him.
But really, if you are going to ban someone who just offhandedly says, "you're a loser" or slips up and tells someone THEY suck instead of their opinion, then I think thats going way too far.

I agree with this...And, I am this type of person, too...Especially this part "I've always been a hard person to offend"....BUT...Not everyone is the same...And we have to find a way to take that into consideration, to try to achieve some peace for the entire forum
Thanks for your input
Okay...After all of this...Here are my overall suggestions (Thanks Vod and Hammerfan)
PLEASE consider WHO you are speaking to when you make a statement, and whether or not they may respond negatively to it.....If you KNOW that the comment you intend to make WILL create a war with someone, do NOT make that comment to (or about) that person....
Some people can handle it...Some people will play along with you...Some people will hit you right back in a funny, or intelligent way...And some may hit back with the same force you give them, and THEN...let...it...go
But...Some people just have to be left alone
So, pretty much, if you know you are going to cause a shitstorm...You are fucking up...Just stop
If you throw a rock at a Poodle, it will most likely yap and whimper...But, if you throw a rock at a Rottweiler, chances are you may be eaten....So, we choose not to throw the rock...We should be intelliigent enough to figure this out...
Thank you everyone for helping out here...I seriously hope that we have accomplished SOMETHING
Thank you Cheeba for keeping it rational
So then...With that...What do we do about Murderdoll (if she shows up?)
