Can tension become creative?

[Canadian_watcher]

^ yeah, it is uncontroversial.. I was just riffing off of what you said to Joe (which was none of my beeswax really).

[wintler2]

82, barracuda was in no way calling you out in that post, nor do I think it necessitated a familiar diatribe about how you are the lord of your own manor and will always and forever call people dicks if you think they deserve it.

I am pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say that we know you feel that way.

So chill the fuck out, bro.

No offence CW, but lets all pander to the bully. Lets spend our time soothing his reactionary aggression, and avoiding questions or criticism or challenge, because they just trigger another torrent of profanity and abuse. Instead lets tip-toe around and make sure not to hurt his ego, or raise topics he doesn't want talked about. Because thats how we deal with bullies, isn't it?

[barracuda]

Yeah...

Okay, Spoiler:cocksucker. Here's where I talk Spoiler:shit to you as if I were Spoiler:fucking around with my bros and our Spoiler:motherfucking moms weren't in the room listening. Please don't think it's okey-dokey-hokey-pokey to wink at your Spoiler:fucking butt-buddies and call out the Spoiler:penile members in the peanut gallery you need to Spoiler:spray your on shit on while you play your game of Spoiler:pissing on me and acting like it's raining golden unicorn rainbow juices of divine wisdom from on Spoiler:motherfucking high. Do you think that because I'm the mod here, I'm obligated to accept some Spoiler:fucking bullshit profanity-laced Spoiler:ass-reaming from you and be all Spoiler:fucking stoic about? What am I, Zeno of the Spoiler:motherfucking dicksuck Sphincterhole? Or maybe Punch-Me-In-The-Nuts Barney?



Spoiler:Suck my Spoiler:motherfucking spine-tipped Spoiler:choad, you Spoiler:fartmouthed taint licking snoodler. I'm not some Spoiler:cum-sucking whipping-boy you clown on Spoiler:down on his knees behind the bar on your Spoiler:fucking smoke break. I've got Spoiler:a shitload of fucking time and energy and emotion invested in this Spoiler:motherfucker, and not only that, a Spoiler:goddamn motherfucking responsibility to see to it that the Spoiler:fucking guidelines here are are at least loosely followed, even by golden-haired Spoiler:little butt-nugget bitches like yourself, Spoiler:asshole. We've got a Spoiler:fucking good thing here. Why would you want to Spoiler:fuck that up? So you can hone your down-home, folksy-toned gas-station bathroom Spoiler:shithole vocabulary back off around this Spoiler:bitch? Spoiler:Fuck that. Raise the bar, Spoiler:motherfucker. It's not gonna cramp your Spoiler:motherfucking style. And even if it does, those are the Spoiler:goddamn, motherfucking, cocksucking, shit out by Jesus, Cherrios for breakfast, take-em-or-leave-'em, Spoiler:fucking agreed upon guidelines here.



No disrespect intended, bro. I'm just trying this out to see if we can find a common language, and to give you a little taste of what the board might be like if we all decided to adopt your disregard for proprieties here.

.
In the spirit of problem solving I think one thing that may help discussions is if there was a clear definition of
what a "troll" is and what "trolling" is perceived as, for this board. Perhaps there is somewhere already?
It just seems like so many users have different definitions
of what a troll is and does. For some a "troll" is someone who disagrees with their sensibilities and doesn't
recant. On the other end of the spectrum others being fine with engaging in a cage fight verbal profanity exchanges
as just being part of their process.

It feels lately like RI has become bogged down in personnel issues and no work is getting done. Personality
has replaced Product.
I'm sure the mods are tired of it. And I can't bear the continuing calls for mods on behavior that the user
dialing 911 has probably engaged in pages back or in another thread.

I know it sounds like pulling out the magic marker and taping the construction paper to the walls, but honestly
doesn't seem like the old ambiguous ways are working anymore. What exactly is a Troll and what does it do?

What the flip is a choad, you melonfarmer?

2d6 damage + poison attack and takes double damage from fire iirc

[Project Willow]

What the flip is a choad, you melonfarmer?

A penis, wider than it is long.. or sometimes the taint.

I had to look up snoodler: When an uncut homosexual wraps his foreskin around another homosexual's penis and jacks him off.

brekin, your skin is going to dissolve right off if you keep sucking on that butthurt.

You know Project Willow this is about me. It's not even about you. It's about preventing
Rigorous Intuition from devolving into a board that has more personal petty snark backs then anything
of value. The internet is full of boards of that stripe. Do you think it a worthy goal to clearly define
objectionable behavior so it prevents wild witch hunts and discourages petty personality feuds?

[Project Willow]

You know Project Willow this is about me.

Yes, exactly. Here are people generalizing petty personal issues onto the functioning of the board/community which, to resurrect a point 'cuda made yesterday, is kind of laughable considering there has been some actual dangerous activity conducted through the forum in the past and the potential remains. If we're going to do meta, then why don't we do meta that addresses stalking, harassment and serious trolling. All the teen hormone inspired pissing and pouting should be relegated to a bar or alleyway, and no, that's not an invite to my Saloon.

I'm actually sad I posted in this thread at all. I think I have creative block and seeking escape form the tasks of the day. Forget I said anything. Sigh.

fwiw:

you figure it out....

one thing i have always appreciated about RI was the liminal quality of much of the "work", creating opportunities to merge with and add to a subject from lots of different angles, planes, perspectives.

I think Willow might have just been having some fun there, brekin. And perhaps I oughtn't have set the tone of having creative fun with my own tensions. But having spent about half my life in close, intimate proximity with a varied assortment of grifters, drug dealers, yardbirds, manual laborors, male prostitutes, alcoholics and fine artists, if I were to consistently write here in the manner of my speaking venacular in the company of my intimate male friends, what I just wrote above isn't altogether too far off. We all temper our speech to suit the ocassion, or we should.

I really have no problem discussing what trolls are, though we've had that discussion many times here to little effect. In the end, it usually becomes counterproductive, and an invitation to flame.

I apologise for my own invitation issued above. I'm going to discuss it with the admin, but I may wind up suspending my own account.

well ... I kind of have a bit of a shorthand with 82, I think. But maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.

[Canadian_watcher]

barracuda I thought your post was highly entertaining! (without even revealing any of the spoilers!)

[eyeno]

My two cents is that I have stopped posting because of pricks like brainpanhandler and wintler2. brainpanhandler totally killed my weird earth changes thread and so to him I say "fuck you asshole". You too wintler2, go take a med you prick.

Fortean studies demand a bit of intuition. Intuition is not always 100% factually correct. Intuition means throwing your gut out and seeing if it ever meets meat stuck on the wall eventually. Fuck heads like brainpan and wintler2 kill this place.

Let me tell you something brainpan, at this moment, a small cabal of terribly powerful people are taking over the entire food supply of planet earth. If you are too damn thick to understand how important that is then you should keep your damn mouth shut and let the rest of us talk about it.

Or maybe not. Maybe you should speak out and make your opinion known, naive as it is, but let us speak the obvious facts.

I'm pissed.......i'm out........and peace ya'lll.......................later
