There are some people on the org who love to protest against threads, posts, and other members. They either jack threads with words of outrage or they run to the mods to have posts removed or the threads shut down.

I think it's completely nuts. Why can't they just ignore the threads and leave them and those who post on them alone? If people enjoy posting on threads, why take that away? What's funny is, I bet those who practice this kind of protest are the same who say they they're against censorship. But all they're doing is pushing censorship. They'd be great FCC members.

So what up with this?

Oh My GOd, this thread is sooooo gonna get locked.

You know life in general is like this. Some people just live to report people.

We got a note in my apartment today reminding us not to do laundry after 10:00 because someone had reported people for doing laundry later then 10 and it just made me wonder who the hell has the time or energy to report this. I live directly next door to the laundry room so if I didn't hear anything obviously it couldn't have been that loud.

Reported!!!

And that's unfortunate because I think it's a worthy discussion.

Sorry EWM I have requested threads be locked..

And I am none of what you have described.

sag10 said:

Reported!

How liberal of you to say that!

No, really. I completely agree with you on this. Censorship is wrong.

Maybe they'd accept to somehow mark those threads so people know before opening them and decide for themselves.
Just an idea.

Being the victim of many a jacked thread or just outright angry posters on my threads, I can see your point.

If U dont' like it--don't open it.

holy shit--did I just contribute to one of your evil threads?

lovemachine said:

Some people feel important if they can get other people in trouble or shut them up. They seem to get a real thrill out of it. They'd be better off as Gestapos.

sag10 said:

Why would you make requests like that?

AsianBomb777 said:

Exactly.

EvilWhiteMale said:

Some of them are downright disgusting. I mean who wants to see a man oozing shit..

I find the "Oh I have nothing better to do with my life than bitch and complain and report people for stupid shit" crowd extremely repulsive. We always seem to have this kind of neighbor

This thread is offensive. I'm going to the TOP to get you shut down! That's right! I'm going to the all-powerful ANXIETY!!!! He'll take care of business.

so, if you ran a site, how would you (you=EWM - and AsianBomb for that matter)

a) deal with complaints?

b) deal with the complaints about you not dealing with their complaints?

c) handle flame-fests?


i'm not trying to ask this out of any kind of antagonistic agenda. i'm honestly curious about how you'd handle situations like this if you were on the other side of the curtain.

AsianBomb777 said:

You are right, I never open your threads, anymore... Sorry!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I certainly am not one of which you describe.

Anxiety said:

I'd ban everyone!!!!!

AsianBomb777 said:

Anxiety said:

Am I THAT difficult?
