Seriously? How come?

Why the hell are you a moron?

thelostdragon wrote:Yeah. I thought the forum rules made it clear.

Sorry, I never saw the "humour must be politically correct rule." I'll go flog myself now.

Kurgan wrote:Sorry, I forget to mention that it should be a large container, which has all the other liquids poured into it, thus creating a potentially deadly mix in the airport itself, rather than on a plane

Nice to see Kurgan hasn't lost his sense of humour. Others take note.

Don't threaten me you jumped up little prick. And don't send me any more personal messages unless it's to apologise.

Tom wrote:And AFAIK it's OK to insult evil people.

Apparently not... you insult one Muslim you insult them all it seems?

Grim Tales wrote:though a ban is a bit OTT don't you think Toge?

I don't give a fuck if I'm banned. This forum needs me more than I need it. Before I came back it was close to dead. Would anyone miss Toge? I fucking doubt it.

What Toge said is way OTT, I knew what you meant Mark (though I agree with Tom, probably badly worded)

The rules say no racism or something but they also advocate free speech.

Read your sentence, dude. READ IT.

Mark wrote:Maybe if Muslims drank alcohol they'd be too pissed to blow themselves up?

You're insulting muslims in general.
I know you didn't mean to, but you did.

And please don't insult Toge.
Without him, Bullets would have died two years ago.

Donnie Yen ! Get out of Mark's body now, you big-headed freak !

About banning people:
I'll have a word with Brad when he comes back.
I think that, in order to ban someone, all mods and admins have to share the same opinion.

I read it. I don't see how I was insulting Islam. Everyone knew perfectly well what I meant and anyone who says otherwise is frankly a liar determined to stir up trouble (or stifle free speech). I've been here long enough not to have to explain myself. Kurgan got the wry tone of what I was saying and that's enough for me. This forum has become ridiculously PC. The number of Scots jokes I've had to put up with... have I ever asked anyone to be banned?

You're insulting muslims in general. I know you didn't mean to, but you did.

Pure paranoia. Besides why should a Muslim give a flying fuck what I think about their religion. It's well known I have no respect for Christianity either yet I don't see anyone rushing to defend it. When Christianity is topical again I'll make jokes about it - or simply stop posting here if that's not acceptable.

And please don't insult Toge. Without him, Bullets would have died two years ago.

Maybe so. But he deserves it. I've never liked him. He was an arrogant kid back in the day and nothing's changed.

Donnie Yen ! Get out of Mark's body now, you big-headed freak !

Yeah, a Donnie moment for sure, but there's an element of truth in that statement. I like Bullets, but I find it odd what's deemed acceptable and what's not. Jokes about dead victims of terrorism? No problem. Jokes about Islam? You get a warning and a reprimand like a fucking schoolboy. Do I need this shit?

About banning people: I'll have a word with Brad when he comes back. I think that, in order to ban someone, all mods and admins have to share the same opinion.

I'd say so... if you all wanna ban me. Nothing I can say to stop you.

Don't worry, I wasn't talking about you.

I was talking about "banning people in general" (following Toge's post).

Works for me.

Get off my back mark. Your smart arse attitude and swearing doesn't do you justice. I keep things PC for peace. If LD finds it offensive, then I will have no choice but strike you as it is against the rules.

Fair enough to people saying I'm over reacting, yes I can see why some say I have over reacted, but if LD didn't react that way I may not have modded Mark. At the moment Muslimism is a tad sensitive subject.

BTW Mark definition of arrogance is: "having or showing feelings of unwarranted importance out of overbearing pride."

Do I have overbearing pride over my position?! I mod for GOOD reasons! IF I DO NOT GIVE REASONS THEN FUCKING COMPLAIN, IF I DO, DON'T FUCKING ARGUE AND LIVE WITH IT!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 25 Aug 2006, 20:16

Yeah, Tom and Sam are right. Lets not fight 8)

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 25 Aug 2006, 20:18

yeah put your dummys back in guys...

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 25 Aug 2006, 20:23

From this point on, every single off-topic post will be instantly removed (only in this thread, don't worry).

Play nice or suffer the consequences.

Anybody who's looking for a fight can always use the anti-PC thread.

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 25 Aug 2006, 21:30

I'm gone for a few hours and all this shit starts to occur. Bloody hell.

"Can't we all just get along?", I believe is the most apt phrase.

Aaaanyway. Marriage.
It's not for everybody.

Then the rules suck. I didn't realise LD was in charge and the arbiter of acceptablity. I'm not sure I want to be a member of a Politically Correct forum where one member can dictate what others can and can't say. I didn't single LD out for abuse so there's no reason why he should lodge a complaint against me. My remarks were wry and pointed. By all means debate with me if you disagree. Call me an 'asshole' if you must. But don't try to get me banned.

Fair enough to people saying I'm over reacting, yes I can see why some say I have over reacted, but if LD didn't react that way I may not have modded Mark. At the moment Muslimism is a tad sensitive subject.

There's lots of sensative subjects that posters don't avoid. Why should Islam be any different? Every single day it's on the news and in debate. Not like we can get away from it? So if my topical humour doesn't sit well - ignore it or argue against it. Since when was it law that we all have to bow down in respect before others' religious and political beliefs? If I want to say "Islam is a piece of shit", I should have that right. Just as LD should have the right to say "Islam is great and I think those who disbelief are wrong".

And Mark I never lodged a complaint against you.

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 25 Aug 2006, 22:46

OK, two attempts (however lame) to get this thing back on track, and still nothing...

I take it everyone who has an opinion on modern marriage has voiced it, or no longer cares? If not, keep going. If so, fancy a lockdown on this thread, cos there seems to be some unecessary bad blood.

By the way, this is all Eva's fault

Why do you hate America?

You also might want to invite the chick you're planning on marrying...

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 25 Aug 2006, 23:08

That's gotta be somewhere near the top of the checklist, surely?

What? Toge?

Note: A smiley has been used which indicates it has been a joke.

Dudes my dad's totally on my back about this whole marrige thing?

LOL! And? Has he got a nice desi woman for you?

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 26 Aug 2006, 07:34

I fear that if I don't find a nice desi woman (or any woman tbh) soon, then he will. I don't trust his judgement.

Bisc what is a "desi woman"?

I don't know what type of woman I want, then again considering how insecure I am, I'd probably end up marrying the first girl I have a rapport with.

j/k

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 26 Aug 2006, 09:21

Desi woman = South Asian woman AFAIK.
