Sunni. Excuse me but do you OWN this thread? I personally don't really appreciate my last post deleted. That was the one to put it all in perspective. Showing everybody what the fuss was about. Perhaps YOU don't enjoy it, but some other fellas might have. You're a mod, and as such, no offence, your job is to make sure OFFENSIVE posts don't make it up etc. Not that your personal tastes get met. Not cool of you, really that wasn't.

EDIT: PARTICULARLY since it was directed at ME and I only now had the opportunity to respond.

i thought posts or threads were not to be deleted here..kinda the riu mantra..if you don't like what you read..there's the ignore button or simply log out..what's good for the goose is good for the gander? hmmmmm..not always it seems..why is that?

EDIT: then you have mods who are offenders and management does not call them out on their unprofessional behaviour..especially since mods are volunteers.. you would think there would be more respect from management regarding its valued members..

...... dont allow senseless arguing ......
i call BS, ten characters


and the conditional enforcement of site rules to manipulate and control people is also a issue

a month + my account is still being tampered with and censored all because i quoted another members hate speak in my sig and said i deserved an explanation before my account is tampered with by admins

i was personally attacked a berated by our precious sunni for having a contrary opinoin, in PM just before POT ROAST made me his personal project, not banning but censoring all my post disabling my pms and ability to communicate across the forum and so forth

all for correctly quoting another dubiously respected members hate speech

the mentality here is , if we suck up to mods and staff we can do whatever we want but if we stand our ground they will just ban/or censor our accounts , until the only people here are hand chosen group of ass suckers,

took two years to get banned/censored . . . they do not care if they pretty much by default create other communities on the web that are way better
 
So I noticed the post in question has been removed?? I know I saw it earlier. So, well... yeah.. that could be taken the wrong way, in a number of ways, Hamish. And unless schuylaar is your wife, which I dont think she is, you definitely send out misinterpretting signals. And I do hate to point it out but you did mention in one of your posts that ''it's happened more than once...''Uh oh indeed!!!

Oh no it appears I have started something here. My bad. I have been in my own personal hell in the last few weeks past. My husband took a turn for the worse a day before my last post and has been in a coma since. Home from the hospital briefly for the first time in five days. I'm exhausted and have been super pissed at the world. Losing my kid and about to lose my life partner has been too much to deal with. Also thanks Pearls Jam for understanding and your sweet message and helping me out in finding right directions when most people have been very rude, nasty and self absorbed. No excuse but I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Nice day to everyone :)

Senseless arguments is not in the site rules. This is just Sunni's "interpretation" of them i guess.

If we had to delete pages of posts because of senseless arguing then there would not be a politics forum on this site. It's very existence (have you read anything in there?) quite clearly indicates that senseless arguing is quite definately not against the rules.

Sunni, I understand your sentiment. Fair enough. I like how you try to uphold what you feel is the site's ethic and all. Please do understand, though, that I live in a place where in my living memory people have died for the right to speak freely. Chris Hani was shot in his driveway while I was around to hear the tales. My parents risked and suffered severe persecution for the rights we as South Africans hold dear. Freedom to speak one's mind is a right that has been ours for merely 20 years.
Also please understand that I do NOT use the PM function on a public forum such as this. There are a few dear friends I have made here that serve as exceptions. I would like to leave you with a few thoughts on censorship, please do consider them in future, I would much appreciate it.

The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen. ~Tommy Smothers


Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime. ~Potter Stewart


We have a natural right to make use of our pens as of our tongue, at our peril, risk and hazard. ~Voltaire,Dictionnaire Philosophique, 1764

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

To reject the word is to reject the human search. ~Max Lerner, 1953, on book purging

Obscenity is not a quality inherent in a book or picture, but is solely and exclusively a contribution of the reading mind, and hence cannot be defined in terms of the qualities of a book or picture. ~Theodore Schroeder

Censorship offends me. ~Author Unknown

OK so I phrased something a bit wrong. Got grabbed once, but openly stalked MANY times. Career DJ. It's kinda known to happen to us. Have the restraining orders and everything.

No man, Schuy is a sweet girl and we've had some cool conversations. She sent me a little hug smiley man. WTF. Get over yourself mate. I have many lady friends and I have ZERO problem giving them a huge bear-hug. Nor do I have a problem hugging my male mates. I like loving people. This has zero bearing upon my loyalty to my wife. I can love however many people I choose. And I tell my mates straight from the heart, "I LOVE you man"

Like I said, I was high as a kite when I made the 'how to check if you are a guitar' post. I still think it's funny as all hell. At the time I thought 'Oh that looks a bit gay but here goes' and like I said in my deleted post here, in hindsight it does look a bit wrong. OK it looks a LOT wrong LMAO... Still, it was nothing but a bit of jest.

Anyhow, all over now. Please guys, don't pick fights with Sunni now. I totally understand her point. No reason to take shit WAAAAY overboard now.
