Is it possible that this "no insults" rule was put in place to try help keep cyber bullying down? Even if it was, it's been said over and over that RIU is for 18+ adults, not middle school kids that actually hurt each other by their bullying, we (well some of us) are adults and are able to get past this "bullying" but bashing a troll shouldnt be considered bullying or anything, it's a troll, they obviously don't have feelings.

That being said, if people are too sensitive on an online forum then let your balls drop and move on from RIU.

Take it this way, if someone came into your circle and fucked up the rotation or was disrespecting the vibe of the circle, they would get bashed and insulted, right? This is a stoner forum, Toke N Talk is probably the closest thing to an "online smoke circle" and why should the ones messing up rotation and the vibe be rewarded and the ones that supply the dank are kicked out of the circle?

It is perfectly OK to disagree.... in fact, the world would be boring if we all thought alike.

too true too true.


you see now that I don't feel stifled and I was able to call you whatever for that short period I don't feel any need to say anything worse.....see how that works?

there's only a MINORITY of people who will abuse this, and they will be obvious and banned... but why make minor riff raff bigger than than it is...
 
The fact that you would rather continue an argument instead of fawn over a hot chick whos giving you erotic pictures and is obviously horny for another chick baffles me.

because this change has been a long time coming..Im' not letting no online tits that are NOT in my face in real life distract me from this much needed change.
 
People need to restrain themselves, that's all. Sometimes trolling is fun, and funny as hell.
Burning aka theDoc08 actually had a hilarious thread about 'testing' an acquaintances integrity. Laughed my ass off through the whole thing..knuckleheads were like putty in his hands.......but then I read a post by him about someones daughter which was totally uncool. That's the shit that needs to stop.

I say let people troll, just don't be an asshole while you're doing it.
If they are an asshole, it's easy to brush them off or simply ignore them. They'll eventually get bored and go away.
 
Cool debate and all, but the bottom line is it takes two to tango. When you respond to me, you're guiltier than I am, because you're the last player to act. Granted I'm pr0 at being hard to ignore, the ball is still residually in the court of the opposition.

Time for work, ya'll have fun now.
 
Every one is not as restrained as you.... 3 months ago, I would have told you to fuck off when you referred to me as an idiot. ;)

I've privately said, and will publicly say for shits n gigs that I took it too far with his daughter, although I was legitimately disgusted by the fact he posted about it, that's probably something that should have not been vocalized.
 
Poplars used to be a guy I didn't like, mainly because of his calling guys tools and pricks and whatnot. But after reading more from you on this thread I see you aren't trying to put anyone down or anything but instead getting your opinion across. A lot of people on here type like they talk, are people thrown in jail or kicked out of places for calling someone in a bar a tool or even fag? No, people take it in stride and know that it is just (and unfortunately) part of the vocab now-a-days. Insulting words are kinda useless to argue against, it's like people telling kids to not say bad words, what the hell makes a word so bad? Because someone says it in an agry tone?

From my view it seems like most of the "insults" on here are really just sensitive people taking someone's tone the wrong way. It's the internet, tone is kind of hard to interpret.

well still man I think if people feel they haven't got something off their chest it just festers and gets worse...this is more true for stoners than any other kind of people...

lots of stoners aren't quite aware of their buttons since they're blazed all teh fuckin time (not everyone but you gotta admit there is a large portion that drown out their emotions with cannabis and all of a sudden they don't realize wtf hit them.)

so we gotta think that we as a community can /grow/ together if we're allowed to get shit off our chests and act as a community... otherwise we're just a bunch of people on edge at eachothers throats, we don't feel like a safe haven because we can't say what we FEEL.
