Sorry, Kori...

[Yonivore]

...I like you, but not in that way. I PM'd you last week and didn't get a response. So, what's the point.

I would only ask that your moderators be held to the standard they impose on the rest of us. That's not too tough is it?

You didn't PM me last week about anything that I didn't answer. I answer all my PM's within 48 hours.

Calm down, Princess. I'm not accusing you of anything. But, I did in fact send you a PM on 9/27/06 at 11:35 P.M.

Whoooooaaaa, how is my posting of an article on minimum wage in any way shape or form an attack on another person? I took a "jab" when I commented about the article but other then that I thought it was interesting. Your moderator "ChumpDumper" is constantly taking "jabs" at others throughout the political forum and that doesn't mean those threads are immediately closed. If he can't take a "jab", then maybe he shouldn't offer up his opinion in the forum that he fucking moderates.
Oh, and I gladly would have stated this in the "minimum wage" thread but ChumpDumper took a quick "jab" at me then closed it down.
Well played ChumpDumper you waste of oxygen.

[Kori Ellis]

Whoooooaaaa, how is my posting of an article on minimum wage in any way shape or form an attack on another person?

I didn't say it was.

[johnsmith]

I didn't say it was.


Not you Kori, I'm talking about what ChumpDumper said in the "minimum wage" thread........
No threads dedicated to personal attacks in the politcial forum.

See my point?

[ChumpDumper]

What was the point of that thread then?

[Yonivore]

What was the point of that thread then?
Don't you think you've said about enough on this topic?

[johnsmith]

As posted by ChumpDumper in the minimum wage thread:


Actually the only reason I left this thread here and open is to avoid the whines of oppression from the thread originator and others who chose not to ignore me after I gave them every oportunity to do so and they vowed to do so on their own.

You have witnessed my shutting down threads similar to this one that were directed at other posters -- posters I neither like nor agree with -- so you will now understand why this one is being closed. If you really feel the need to start another one of these threads, do so in the troll forum. They will love you there.

Actually, the only reason you left it open was because it was a legitimate thread. Once YOU decided it was making fun of YOU, then it was closed so as if to show this alleged "power" you have.

[ChumpDumper]

I want to understand what the point of the thread was.

[Yonivore]

If I could, I'd close this thread. Hey Kori, make me a moderator! I promise not to abuse my position and I might even clean up my language.

Seriously, I'm ready to reset the animosity meter and try civil debate again.

[johnsmith]

It was about minimum wage rates throughout the United States and how people living off minimum wage have seen the cost of virtually everything in the US increase except for their earnings.

I just threw in the bit about you because it seemed to pertain to you.

[johnsmith]

That's it Chumpdumper, quick, close the thread, it's just too many personal attacks..........on you.

[johnsmith]

So since you got to ask a question, "what was the point of the thread" then I get to ask one as well, how was that thread any different then any of the personal attacks you throw at people on here?

[xrayzebra]

Hey cant we just drop the whole subject. I think everyone
has made their point. Chump may have made a mistake,
who knows or really cares. I take my jabs at him and
he certainly does at me. That is what the forum is all
about. You give your lumps and take a few.

Kori and LJ have done a damn fine job on this forum
at keeping it ad free and keeping out of everyones way.
Chump more than likely has learned a good lesson.

I personally saw no personal attacks in the thread. But
then, that is me. Maybe he did. But most on this board
have been called everything, but a nice person, and
survived.

Just my two cents worth.

Thanks Kori, I really don't care who you keep for
moderators. I just like to stir the pot occasionally.
As stated above, without you and LJ we wouldn't be
having this discussion.

I concur. LJ and Kori run a very well moderated site. The political forum is run very well IMO. Extremists on both sides as well as moderates, progressives, democrats, republicans, err., libertarians, neocons, doves, war hawks, chicken hawks and all other views can be expressed in here. :tu

[ChumpDumper]

how was that thread any different then any of the personal attacks you throw at people on here?It seemed to be the only point of the thread. It's not a "no personal attacks ever" policy to make folks play nice. It's a "no threads used soley for personal attacks" policy because allowing them can lead to pages and pages of them that push down the legitimate threads that are the real focus of each forum. I allow all kinds of personal attacks on me, so I don't see what the problem is. If your true purpose was to start a real discussion about minimum wage, you certainly could have put more of your own thoughts into your initial post besides the insult, couldn't you?

Then explain to me how Boutons posting an article and then saying "Repugs are fucking idiots" over and over and over again at the bottom of the page any more legitimate? I don't know for a fact, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't need to put any more "thought" into doing that then I had to in order to post my thread. He is obviously trying to get just a few people in here to start opening up for debate by attacking their political views.

[ChumpDumper]

Then explain to me how Boutons posting an article and then saying "Repugs are fucking idiots" over and over and over again at the bottom of the page any more legitimate?He's talking about the government, for the most part. Unless Bush et.al., are posters here, I don't see that as a personal attack thread.
He is obviously trying to get just a few people in here to start opening up for debate by attacking their political views.Well, if they are political views he's attacking, that's what political forums are for.

Chumpdumper, you screwed up. You contradicted yourself and you won't admit it. If putting "thought" into posting an article is required then you should close every thread that starts with a link and a one line post. You were wrong and you know it and so does everyone else that has discussed this in this thread. Admit it, and then carry on being "the boss" of this forum.

[ChumpDumper]

If putting "thought" into posting an article is required then you should close every thread that starts with a link and a one line post.If it's a personal attack directed at a poster with no other context to the article, I probably will. I make no claim to being perfect.

[johnsmith]

So you can't admit when you're wrong. Hey, it looks like you've found another thing in common you have with the President........the other being that you're an idiot.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

You're all fucking idiots. Hows that for a personal attack, bitches.

[ChumpDumper]

I certainly could be wrong in this case. I don't think so, but if I'm really keeping you from a serious discussion about your views of the minimum wage, feel free to start a new one. In the course of that discussion, you will be free to insult me. I simply didn't see anything else from you in that thread about the plight of those making the minimum wage.

You're all fucking idiots. Hows that for a personal attack, bitches.You didn't start a thread to that effect, so it's gold.

Ads on forums suck. I have tried avoiding having them. The cost of running this forum is pretty high because of the amount of traffic it has to be on a dedicated server, etc. We allow members to contribute from time to time and other stuff, but we aren't going to put ads all over it just to make some money. If we did though, then I wouldn't even be allowed to say things like "bitch" on my own forum, but we would be making money.

I know you weren't around, but we were offered six figures last season to sell it to a big company that was making a sports network of websites and we turned it down. It's something we built from the ground up in the last three years and it's hard for me to sell out by cluttering it with ads and having it be really moderated .. or by just selling it all together.
