And that's before going into observational, metaphorical, philosophical, metaphysical and other kinds of truth. since the FACT is that NONE of those are close to the truth, they max nix. we are talking about TRUTH lad, not the hallucinations of fools. by the way, metaphorical could never be truth by definition

Of course. Truth is what you say it is isn't it? You are so stupid you can't even tell the difference between a noun and the adjectives describing it. This thread is about insulting and abusive posting, which is exactly what your post is. Please refrain from the name calling and calling others stupid.

I'm inclined to make this a place where we can all let go of some of our frustrations and irritations and I'd rather NOT censor anything in this section.
It's a place to vent and if people get out of hand we'll play it by ear.
Basically I want this section of the board to be effectively unmoderated.
We'll see how that goes and if necessary we'll reconsider.
That's how I want it played for the moment - a no rules section of the board.

Obviously on the MAIN section of the board we DO have to impose certain terms of service.
Here - for the time being it's anything goes.

Funny that you don't find this since the FACT is that NONE of those are close to the truth, they max nix. we are talking about TRUTH lad, not the hallucinations of fools. by the way, metaphorical could never be truth by definition 'insulting' or 'abusive'. I find sweeping discussion away with such ignorant arrogance (is there any other sort?) extremely offensive. I find the deliberate use of lad to me and others patronisingly offensive. I find the claim to TRUTH so by implication everything except this poster's opinion a lie offensive. I find dismissal of whatever this poster chooses to dismiss as hallucinations of fools offensive. Lastly, I find the [actually meaningless] dismissal of metaphorical truth with metaphorical could never be truth by definitio to show the utter stupidity of ignorance dismissing what if fails to understand.

I find the deliberate use of lad to me and others patronisingly offensive. I thought it hilarious when Iamjumbo addressed me as "laddie" on another board! But yes, singling out ratarse for criticism seems hard. Despite what Iamjumbo said in an earlier post, I can't see that replying to a post with the words "we are talking about TRUTH lad, not the hallucinations of fools" is less offensive than calling someone stupid.

I quite like the spikey characters, so long as they don't go too far and simply post "abuse" per se. And we don't want to become one of those boards like the BBC where you have to carefully choose every single word you type in case it offends one person or another...one of the reasons I agreed to mod here is because Lin is fair and robust, she doesn't shy away from passionate debate where tempretures can get raised a bit (as I found out in my first encounter with her). ;D Letting off steam is important, and the internet is probably one of the greatest inventions ever for doing this IMO. AH

The implied condescension in 'laddie' is quite offensive but does handily show the person using it has already conceded they have lost the argument.

No one is impressing anyone here with insults! I can't expect everyone to be 100% civil and always take the high road! I see the slams and provocations posted here and they only make the person, who put them look bad! If this thread keeps heating up it'll end up in the Vendetta section! If anyone "loses their cool" and has to let off steam in an "inappropriate manner" PM me and i'll send you the password to the Vendetta section, where you'll probably have more fun laughing at my posts, where i blow off steam, then blowing up yourself! biglinmarshall.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=vendetta Well said anna! I agree totally.

Newbe checking in. Having been around message boards and newsgroups (un-moderated, mostly, and awful), I find that while insults are inappropriate, but some comments are just blatantly dumb. I've gone off on immature or thickheaded people, usually flamers, and racists deserve a kick. Like most, I try to ignore the very ignorant, but sometimes….
I think message boards are a reflection of a real life to a certain extent, and as such, one shouldn't be surprised to find abusive behavior, deliberately or otherwise, rear its ugly head on occasion. I guess a vendetta board is the best solution.

Clemie, I've seen enough of you to know that you'll be an asset to this board.
Thanks for joining us!

This forum is relatively friendly compared to other boards and i think everyone here can be reasoned with.. I'm amazed at some of the sudden hostilities that erupt on other boards where posters may be instantly and wrongly vilified by some vicious knowitall! It'd be a nightmare to have such a knowitall on a jury! Fortunately in law attempts are made to disqualify biased jurors!

I'm determined to let everyone debate and disagree but equally I won't stand for the sort of nonsense I've come across on a few boards.
I'm firm but fair but I'm happy to hold back on the bridle and bit and let the horses run free as long as they don't get out of control.
That's how I am, guys!
