Should there be a limit of 1 new thread a month?

[RocketMan]

SLAD, flooding a messageboard is a most basic violation of just general, time-honoured web etiquette. You don't ever respond to that charge because you know you post completely uncontrollably here and it's out there for all to see. Perhaps you'll be finally satiated when you are the only one left here, posting away on YOUR threads, alone.

[seemslikeadream]

You really should not be the one talking about etiquette

you and crew are the reason 5 of my friends have left so there's that

all will be fine when you stop whining

you do not agree with anything I post that is the reason you want to shut me up

but be my guest hate away...that is what you do best

WOW

we are now up to 4 for censorship!

I notice you now write with an unnecessary amount of spacing and double spacing. Another way to occupy space when you don't have a cut and paste on hand.

That was aimed at SLAD, but I guess it is spreading. I guess it is just a way to shout. We have to be careful it is going to look a baby boomers email chain. Lots of large fonts

SHOUTING IS WHEN YOU USE ALL CAPS

oh that last dig was pretty low....yeah I have 13 grandkids as a matter of fact .....and cateracts thanks for pointing out that I am almost blind ...you are a real sweet heart
if you'd like to say a few words about the 2 deaths in my family in the last 6 months go for it, love to you too

censorship and now ageism fun times at RI

this thread is tribal pure and simple, it is not going to accomplish anything but put everyone in their corners where in fact they already are

it is meant to sow extreme discord and division

it is pitiful

[NeonLX]

Huh. Threads like this makes me glad I'm not a moderator.

It also makes me wonder why I bother to come here and read posts.

This senior citizen doesn't want to return to middle school study hall. My spitball skills have greatly deteriorated.

oh I can tell you are receiving AARP magazines by the way you post.....did you get the Carlos Santana cover and the pot leaf cover ones?

I rolled a monster blunt with the pot leaf cover then put my 78 RPM platter of Abraxas on the old Victrola. The arthritis in my hand wouldn't let me wind the Victrola or light the blunt, however.

[seemslikeadream]

thanks Neon you always make me smile, I miss you

I can still roll both but mainly I use my one hitter

Ben: Yes

Alright guys we have to communally get a handle on this (my reputation is in question). But seriously we have to keep in mind intent. Also we have to keep in mind the level of harm anything that happens and to who and each other. Once you hate someone for something so trivial and back one into a corner, they are going to lash back and that is what is to be expected because they are as free to exist in their moments as anyone else is. I'm not a kindergarten teacher. Everyone knows better and everyone is free to enjoy their opinions of their own accord. I could post till I am blue in the face but that wouldn't change how much I might annoy another. But this act of moderation should not be needed. And, for now, not acted upon. This is simply a conversation board and I intend on the power of my mouse clicks to keep it free and fair.

[seemslikeadream]

a thread like this serves only one purpose to sow division

the poll was created to fuel the tribes nothing else

it was a slam at me and everyone here knows that by his previous OP

so if that's the way we are going to do stuff now so be it...I'll take my leave

good gravy sorry! I guess I wasn't taking my words seriously enough. No bad vibes. Some of my best friends are older. Let's all get along.

[stillrobertpaulsen]

The real problem is that the mods are lazy, shiftless and underworked. That's why I'm so glad we have Jack around to propose more work for them to do! Boy, I sure appreciated it when I was a mod!

Being sarcastic, of course.

Oh wait, did I just violate the new proposed rule about spacing?

You are not being serious. Nor are you being honest, and you know it. You are merely being blatantly evasive and deeply unfunny.

Of course I'm not being serious. Sarcasm is a form of humor. BTW, I wasn't responding to you here. I was responding to you with the anti-Semitism remark. Perhaps we should also alert the No-Planes-Hit-the-WTC theorists about the new rule too.

Dishonest? WTF am I lying about?

Evasive? WTF am I evading?

"Deeply unfunny." Take a fucking chill pill. You're not my intended audience anyway, but my inner Andy Kaufman thanks you for booing.

Typing those words do not make it true.

The reality is you have posting methods that are disruptive/counterproductive to the spirit of this board, irrespective of the CONTENT.

And yes, much of what you post here, at least with respect to the topic of Trump (and related offshoots) is indeed propaganda, even if you refuse or are unable to see it that way.

This is not tribal. Bit you'll rationalize it however you prefer rather than make an effort to curb your tactics.

(Cutting myself off from any further commentary here - the day is too precious).

[JackRiddler]

Awright, awright, no need for the fighting.

And the rhetoric, 82-28. Who says anyone's hating anyone? Or harming? How is this "harming", in what universe is this harm?

It's a reasonable request that's been made 500 times here. We have free speech, no censorship except for a handful of fascistoid/racist offenses, and threads that go fifty to five hundred pages. Threads that go back more than 10 years, a few of them with 50 or more participants. Amazing archives. Some of this stuff is genuine history to read now. Everyone's contributed, including, massively, the one who doesn't want to stop doing that thing over and over. All that would be needed is for this someone to stop burying all this work of hundreds in the endless flood of new threads about the same extremely narrow complex of subjects, mostly spun to the DNC-MSNBC-NPR-CIA line and full of corporate media trivia. This same shit can be posted as always, just limited to the already existing dozens of similar threads on this complex, just not every day the new threads and then all of the same threads kicked over and over and then the ceaseless whining whenever this is challenged in the least.

It's about volume, not content, and it's about behavior, not a person.
