LK, I don't actually know where you come from sometimes. Anyway, I'm not tracking which forums do and don't allow personal attacks and which kind of personal attacks. Hence the one rule about posting in PU along with the caveat that it maybe removed.

Tissues and issues.

Like, this is a fundamental concept in debate. The ability to respond to people attacking you. An internet forum like this is all about debate. How does preventing me from responding to those attacking me make this a better politics forum? You refuse to answer this.

I'm still a little unclear on what your actual response is here.

I'm not asking that you keep track, I'm just curious the logic behind who is and who isn't open game?

I explained my logic.

Your point about forums that allow personal attacks is valid, but not practical.

I have a simple rule that nicely enforces my belief. It can be enforced with a minimal amount of effort. Is it 100% fair, of course not. But to be 100% fair I'd have to look at all forum rules and all posts a person has made.

Keeed, if you can get a poll with a result where > 50% of people (sample size > 20, poll duration > 24 hours, general PU post count rule) wanting the rule that threads that attack someone not allowed to post in that thread aren't allowed - I'll happily enforce that rule.

Otherwise, I just don't care.

I don't think you did.

As a fellow computer science guy, I'm pretty sure I could convince you that the arbitrarily drawing lines on which containers inherit certain parent traits makes little to no sense.

If the protections for people who don't post in forum x extend to people z, then protections for people who don't post in forum x > thread y should be extended to people a who don't post in thread y, child of forum x.

In this case, keeeed is a member of people a, but not people z, and he can post in forum x, but not child thread z. It would make sense that he can inherit the rights of people who can post in forum x, but inherit the protections of people who cannot or do not post in forum x > thread z.

Just looking for a little consistency is all.

Was fun while it lasted.

You all shoulda started whining when Paul D made his thread, for ****ing consistency.

Absurd.

But here.

So much this. lol at how poorly those who give it can take it.

I disagree. Forums and threads are different things. They don't need to have the same properties.

In fact, this would probably be a good digression into why inheritance based design can often be bad. But I'm going to go take a break for awhile (maybe the rest of the night), so I'll leave this be.

There's no logical reason posting in specific threads needs to follow the same rules as posting in specific forums. Again, we set rules (and mods) at the forum level.

It's already completely consistent.

Come on man, don't give in to keeed and Low Keys whining. It's all about keeeds fragile ego and their collective need to childishly stick it to DiB.

Speaking of whining, where are the whine police piling on keeed for his day-long whine-fest?

Man, you can't even create the poll properly. Here's the new one:

I'm going to bed.

How was my question inaccurate? It was much more clear than your question is. Ridiculous.

Funny that #dudebitterly still answered no

So bitter

Complain more LK. Each whiny tear of sadness by y'all I'm #dudeliterally living.

Best 2+2 day in a long while for me.

Because people aren't laughing about how you blow dudes for drugs?

Cuz they still are. They all still are. Even you new troll bigot friends.

No, because of how I got so many tears shed on your team. So much #dudeliterally pain and sadness, indignation and bitterness.

Can't believe someone comes out of that thread looking like a bigger bitch than dibbers, but here we are.

Did jj just threaten to ban goofyballer?

I honestly can't imagine what it's like to take this **** seriously.

He can't.

Hah, didn't really realize who it was on my phone.

Still, I'd expect people to follow forum rules even if they think they're ******ed.

Yes, yes he did.

My thread rocks.
