In Praise of Josh Timonen

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I have no objection to civility, in fact civility is the norm on this forum. I am generally not an antagonistic fellow, but I will not sit idly by and watch absolute drivel be passed off as reasonable discourse by jumped up, wannabe intellectuals like you who can barely put a cogent sentence together, my fellow posters deserve more than to be treated like moronic chattel. If you think this should not be the case then please, by all means enlighten us as to why this should not be the case, you fucking tit.

Moderators?

Ah, so now you're in favor of staff action against people who act like you?

You appear to have spent all of your short time here winding them up. I wouldn't expect much sympathy from that quarter.

[Bella Fortuna]

Can I be one more to add to the chorus of "Why are you here?"

It's clear the only intent you've come here with is to harass members and drag along your ball and chain of grievances from someplace else to rekindle them here.

I have the exact same question for you

I set 'em up, you do exactly as predicted.

Did you predict this?

Yes.

[statichaos]

So, to sum up again: Any attempt to impose a certain level of civility on a forum is not only equal to the recent actions of the admins at RD, but is the equivalent of cyber-genocide.

AWESOME!

Sorry, what? I was referring to Salvati, the gentleman who was engaging in hyperbole regarding the removal of a post of his from this forum, and I was attempting--obviously poorly--to express my amusement at his reaction. I'm not certain where you got the rest of that from. The only person I've disagreed with in this thread so far is him, and I don't believe that I've engaged in any posting that would cause anyone to believe that I've attempted to treat anyone like "moronic chattel". If so, then please point me to the post or posts in question, and I will apologize if I can see how it or they could be interpreted that way.

In regards to the accusation that I can't put a cogent sentence together, I plead not guilty on the grounds of mild exhaustion.

Finally, while I can't say that I'm fond of being referred to as a "fucking tit", I do prefer it to the more common "dickwad" to be found on other forums. So...thank you for bothering to use your brain cells in the cause of insulting me. It makes me think that I've found a forum with a positive level of intelligent discourse.

Yep ... owtth, keep it civil. Cheers.

Salviati obviously has things he wants to get off his chest.

The salviati/klr discussion is being monitered by staff. It may be moved to a separate thread. If so, I will inform you and post a link.


Salviati, in defense of klr, he has been an exemplary member here at rationalia, and will be strongly defended as a member of the rationalia community. He is not a member of staff here, and the rationalia staff do not do things the same way they have been done at RDF.

Charlou,

I am certainly not engaging in any "discussion" here. To call it a "discussion" would be rather generous. I'm just pointing out some of the more obvious things that are wrong with this industrial-strength rant. I have no simply no interest in conversing with someone who is here to vent their spleen like this - or lie about me for that matter.

[Salviati]

Statichaos, I have no idea what you're talking about. My "cyber-genocide" comment was plainly just a joke, and in any event, I wasn't accusing the RDF forum staff of any such thing.

[charlou]

Not to belittle anyone's concerns, but this seems to have gotten rather petty. Why not relax among the members here and get to know them better?

[klr]

You seem to be quite good at accusing them of things actually.

[Feck]

Ah yes, now I remember you. See how it's much easier when you play honest? Part of the great Philosophy rumble IIRC. You committed quite a range of offences as I recall.

Yes, as did almost everyone else on the opposing side. You didn't seem to care.

The "offences" in question, by the way, didn't include racism or homophobia or spamming, or anything that you might think should warrant a permanent ban. I was merely using strong language. I might have used a word like "stupid", or something of the same intensity, on about five separate occasions. (As did many others posters.) That was enough to warrant a permanent banning.

That's terrible a permanent banning for bad language we would never do that here here you get told to fuck off If you are a twat not if you use the word.

Oh and just for the record Almost every RDF (OT)-TAF -Rationalia member here has a sob story about how mean the RDF mods were to him or her ...

But strangely we have been able to have a happy forum including lots of RDF staff and lots of petulant children (copyright RD) .
feel free to drag up the distant past go ahead tell me that Topsy is a vindictive bitch and Kevin is an Ass-hat .... but YOU are the one bugging MY happiness
just now. You see maybe you got shat on because you were sticking to the letter of the rules ... but not the spirit ? Here intent is all ... I do not think your intent here is to play nice .....is it ?

Yeah fair enough I apologise for calling you a fucking tit, I will be sure not to call you a fucking tit in future regardless of how much your posts warrant you being called a fucking tit If at any point in the future you actually admit to being a fucking tit then I will be more than glad to join others in proclaiming you as a gigantic fucking tit. I await that moment with bated breath, sidenote to mods, whilst this may breach the sentiment of the house rules I feel my bending of those rules is justified by the sheer tittedness of Salviatis post. Plus the cuntedness of said posts. also he's a tit.

I'm getting some very twisted revenge on one of them.

[cowiz]

Fucking tit - this was a derail and not aimed at anyone in particular.

And so is this...

Troll

*ahem*

Seriously.

Guys, namecalling will result in a 24 hour suspension if it continues.
