Hmm. I was recently alerted by TosaInu for this post.
I'm disheartened. :sad:

'Alerted' as in warned or something else? Either way, I don't see why. :shrug:
Wasnt that thread another tounge in cheek as well?
Possibely by the European comment? Not saying that it deserved it, just throwing out possibilities. I don't really have any opinons on this whole debacle, it all seems way to blown out of preportion.
Tosa didn't warn you, all system level messages come from him. If the person who assigned you the warning didn't sign it, you won't know who it's from.
I received one as well. Looks like we better learn to play nice and not say anything offensive anymore.
I can't look at this without laughing uncontrollably. The look on Proletariat's face is friggin KILLING me!!!!!Quote:

Alerted, as in warned but not actually given any points.Quote:

And it wasn't for the European comment.
@ Don, ah, I didn't know how the warning system works.

Actually, I stand corrected. I found an old alert that came from Ser Clegnane and it was indeed from him. Tosa sent these. It's his playground, his rules. By definition, he is right.
Or perhaps say anything at all.....Quote:

If petty retaliation snd quashing all criticism is what's going to lead us to a more friendly and informative dialog, I don't think I want any. I find I haven't been posting in the BR lately, it's too much bother to worry about offending someone (who matters) delicate sensibilities.
And it's looking less and less appealing to play.Quote:

Such a good game...
So fitting. Because he's only midi scary. He's not orchestra scary. Just midi scary.Quote:

Nice...
I may be missing something, but where did she call it 'humor'?Quote:

DD didnt make fun of the handicap as he gave no punchline. I wonder if he got a warning for that post. I find it interesting you defend Soly while attack Prol and DD. Your hypocrisy is shinning brightly.Quote:

Gawain, CR, be quiet. The Moderators have said that Soly's joke was funny, it is funny. The moderators have said that Proletariat's criticism of it should have earned her a warning. The warning has been issued. Nothing more on the subject need be said.
Erm...Quote:

If I drove up in a '63 Corvette and you said "that's a classic," it would be pretty obvious that you meant a classic "car."
To pretend otherwise is simply being obtuse.
It could have been a sarcastic "classic."
Like:
Person A: Guess what? My computer crashed again.
Person B: The old classic, Windows.
I don't actually know if that's the case, though.
She said it was a classic, and probably meant joke, but that doesn't mean she thought it funny. In fact, she used the same word-classy and classic-to describe both. Nowhere did she put anything about the joke actually being funny.
Oh, ah...I mean of course your right Goofball. How silly of me. Soly's joke is funny, DD's isn't and Prole aught to be criticized sharply for not codemning DD as the Antichrist. Why should I ever question the mods. You are right Don. I shall deny myself candy for a week for my outrageous obtuseness and impertinance.

Neither did Soly, so what's your problem?Quote:

And BTW, if you look at the thread in question, Dave was most certainly making fun of the mentally handicapped. As a point of further interest, in that same thread Prole told me to "lighten up" because I mentioned that maybe jokes based on race, sexual orientation, religion or physical disability were really not funny.
This is a huge witchhunt. You guys tolerate (even encourage) in your "own" what you attack in "outsiders."
Look in the mirror.
this is both the saddest and funniest thread i've read on the org in a long time. i guess that means it should be closed. :blank2:
When I reported solypsist's post, I brought up this exact instance. I don't have what I wrote anymore, because it isn't saved to your PMs when you report a post.Quote:

Anyhow, I had my warning removed, and it's since been replaced with another warning from another mod about the same infraction. The special olympics jokes are a-okay around here, since he wasn't specifically calling me a retard, he was saying something similar to, 'you're acting like an ass.'
The differences between saying someone is acting like an ass or a special olympics contestant have been lost on the staff. (Yanno, one being a set of medical diagnoses and one being an animal.)
Anyhow, it's someone else's board with their own set of rules, and because of that I'm through with complaining about it.
So where was your moral outrage when soly said the exact same joke you baked DD over? Surely you expect more from moderator soly than the incendiary right-winger, DD, right?Quote:

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find anywhere in either thread where that info is revealed, so I have held fire on commenting before having all the info. It seems I should have done the same with you. Please see below.Quote:

Soly's joke about the Special Olympics was funny, and Prole was out of line to report it as being in bad taste. DD's joke of course was out of line. We apologize for having offended your sensibilities. Thank you for pointing out where we were wrong, you're very helpful. I'm sure at this rate, you should make moderator in no time, and it would be well earned. Prole, Gawain, CR, drop it.
This thread is getting me down... :embarassed: But it's like a car crash, its hard not to run over, look and offer your own worthless advice.
Um, I think that Big John has it right, that this thread should be closed, and everything dealt with privately...

First off what gives you the idea I dont like Soly? Because I dissagree with him on many matters? Hey I dissagree with you on almost everything other than Isreal but I have nothing but admiration for you most of the time. Oh wai I forgot you like Soly but not DD and Prol. Again your being extremely hypocritical here.Quote:
