The content is most likely hosted in the Netherlands, so getting high off it is probably fine.

It's not okay to call someone an overgrown twat on tl, but it was instigated by another so the ban was shortened. but its cool to call people "pretty fucking stupid?" i dont really get the distinction. For the record what I said was that I thought his ignorance of British politics was leading him to say things that sounded stupid because he didn't know how stupid they sounded. I know it's not your country so you don't know how stupid you sound when you imply otherwise but you sound pretty fucking stupid. I didn't ban him but if we're going to discuss who said what then we should at least get it right. I said his lack of understanding of the subject was understandable because it's British politics and he's an American but when he made proclamation about the subject based on that lack of understanding he sounded pretty fucking stupid. Maybe you think that's too far, whatever. But I said his ignorance made him sound stupid, I didn't say he was stupid. so, i guess it would be cool if he had said you "sound like an" overgrown twat? you resorted to name calling, he responded in kind, he got banned. lets call a spade a spade. edit: then, apparently, the ban got reduced, because someone realized (i am assuming) that it looks bad when a moderator starts the slap fight and gets no slap on the wrist. if you are calling out spades, you're falsely equating stupid and twat. to claim there is no difference is either ignorant or purposefully obtuse. Also, there's a difference between telling someone he "sounds/acts like a twat" and that "he is a twat"... everyone acts twatty sometimes, but calling someone a twat removes that temporary aspect and just leaves you with a personal insult. for comparison: "you're being an overgrown twat right now." "you're an overgrown twat." There's a vast difference. The first one can be seen as (albeit not very constructive) criticism, because it implies that if the addressee changes their current behaviour, it will result in a reduction of their twat-factor. The 2nd however does not imply that. :D im sure if someone told you sound like a fucking idiot, you would see that as legitimate criticism. come on. wtf is with the attempt to rationalize really stupid forum behavior. are you guys really defending the ability of forum users to engage in discourse in this manner?
Well I'd at least reflect on what I said last and try to figure out what made the other person come to the conclusion that I was being an idiot at that point. They may be rude but they might have a point. I honestly don't have a problem with rudeness overall anyway, since I'm trying to figure out what people are trying to tell me, instead of just hearing/reading the words. Might come with my job as call center agent. [i.e.: "I can't get your shit to work and it all sucks" is just "I need help figuring out this shit please.]
That inward reflection however, falls away as soon as someone just flatout calls me an idiot without that limitation. I'm too lazy to think over my whole life choice to see if he is correct (although if I did, it would be highly probable I'd agree with his verdict, in all honesty :D).
Also I wasn't talking about this particular instance, it was more of a general thing. The way TL operates in that regard might be quite different in this regard, I have no idea. I was just trying to convey that, in my opinion, there's a difference between those 2. Wether the ban was justified, baited or whatever, I didn't make a comment on.

I love these early morning attempts to derail the abl-thread.

I don't even know what a non-derailed ABL-thread looks like any more. Last time I remember we actually talked about a ban, the mods came in and told us to stop.

Hey! We discussed opisska's ban too, and how he was completely fine being called names, like overgrown twat, in his absence!

It's not like the most recent bans offer much to talk about. A ban by request, a ban for advertising their own website, a bunch of spam bot bans, a ban on LiquidDota and a ban for "SC2 isn't alive".
Not even worth talking about.

Step up to the plate and get a ban worth talking about. You can do it!

I want to discuss sc2's aliveness. I think it's underdiscussed.

and if you google 'distinction' it says 'difference or contrast.'
then you go on to show exactly the 'difference,' wherein they mean the same thing but one is vulgar.

That's still weeks away, can't have a huge gap in my tournament schedule AND in the ABL. Maybe we should ask David Kim for help, he should post more feedback updates. That'll surely work.

He just needs to say that he is happy with any aspect of the game.

is there a correlation between sc2's aliveness and the abl's aliveness?

Given we are basically on a forum related to sc2, i'd guess it makes sense ?

With the latest debacle in the US politics thread, at least I figured out what "other" can cover in reporting stats. Every cloud has a silver lining!
|
I have an "other" report stat that ended up being a mod telling people to shut the fuck up. I guess this is another example.

Most of my "Other" are just threads being moved. One of my "Other"'s is the result of me reporting myself though.

Beladani was just banned by Seeker.
That account was created on 2016-10-14 17:16:55 and had 1 posts.
Reason: Pelican
Butts
Underappreciated
Now this is a notion I can get behind.

Appreciate dat pelican butt.
I also appreciate Seeker taking actions against pretentious bagel utilization, they're the worst kind of bagels.
