I learned my leston, I won't misbehave here again. Can someone(an admin or soething) please at least lower my warn level? :help:
Thank you.
Well, I already apologized. Can somone at least respond. This thread has had like 33 viewings and no responces.
I'm like the only poster with this, can someone take it off please. :help:
erm... don't be surprised if it takes a really long time.
It took forever when I had a 3 warning level.
I guess it will be lowered over time if you behave from now on. I cant answer how long it will take.

Seems kind of pointless considering we almost all adults who understand words. I admit I didn't know you couldn't swear or make sick jokes. Now can someone lower my warning level so I can edit my Avatar?
Giving or lifting of warnings is none of my business, but for what it's worth I second Byzantine Prince's humble request. I can understand what bugged him when he first came here, because there are so many horrible websites out there that it is hard to believe initially that the .org is such a rare exception. He has apologised to Solypsist for a particularly ill-considered post he made, and now he has apologised to us all. And his posting style has changed because he has, as stated in his own words somewhere, understood the benefit of the .org style of moderation. Of course I do not expect the Honourable TosaInu or any of the moderators to answer this post of mine; I just hope they will consider it.Quote:

Thanks a lot AdrienII and thank you for noting it CBR. I certainly apreciate your input and support.
Continue doing what you are now doing BP and your warning level will drop. You've much improved in the past week and it is good to see.
Man I thought my warning level would never go down. Its a real pain in the butt aint it? Many of us have been through it. No pain no gain as they say. It certainly has made a better poster out of me.(no laughing you guys)

If he doesn't get in trouble for that then I think the org is full of hypocrites.
You are right in that it is not enough to star out some of the letters of swear words. But he is not directing them at another patron. Not quite the same thing.Quote:

I dont know why, but Gawain's ending message which tells us not to laugh at him suddenly reminds me of a boot camp scene in "Full Metal Jacket" so i posted it out.
If the moderators feel that theres a need to issue me a warning then i will take it as a man if i really breaks the rule here. ~;)
So did I but I still got into trouble.Quote:

I admit though I also made a sexual comment but then again so did you in that passage from one of my favorite movies. So you still have to get in trouble. It's unfear. Why do I get in trouble while guys like you(and you're not the onyl one so don't take it personally) are allowed to roam free.

BKS, Thanks for the clarification. Btw, Byzantine_Prince i don't post often ( you can see from my number of post and the date i join ) and i seldom take part in the activities in the back room ( or war room IMHO ).
This lack of participant helps me to keep my nose clean and furthermore i lack the intellectual qualities in a number of fields ( Politics, Geography etc, etc ) to be able to take part in a constructive discussion.
As what BKS had pointed out, as long i am not directing at any other patrons here. Afterall, there must be a tolerance level and as long as i don't cross that line indicated by the administrators :bow:

Byzantine Prince, I hope you are serious when you say you learned your lesson. I that´s the case, your warning level will go down over time. But you must show that with your behaviour, simply saying you changed isn´t enough.
Listen to Gawain, he knows what he´s speaking of. We had some trouble with him half a year ago - or he with us, however you want to see it. But he has improved and now belongs to the best behaved posters in the Tavern.
Roger that, i am complying. ~:)
Done. Thanks for the feedback and link provided.
Has your warning level gone down BP?
I think your right dave. It was a 5 now its a 3.
Wow, thanks you guys. Now I can do more stuff.
Good for you BP, I can't even view the backroom.
Dave, would it help you to know little has changed? Just think how much better your blood pressure must be. ~;)Quote:

By the way as an ex Marine I love that movie and anything the Gunny has to say is fine with me. Ermy is the best and the epitome of a Marine DI. I can still remember almost those exact words and actions coming from my own DIs.
I don't think they are allowed to sear rampantly like that anymore. I could be wrong.
I dont think they were allowed to do it to us either ~;)
Well its true they have changed some n their training methods and treat recruits more humanely now as its a more technically based force. Nut you would be amazed at the thigs they would do to us that they werent supposed to . And they would tell you that they werent but do it anyway.
hehe, works like a charm...
Man that is still pretty soft compared to what they do in the Russian military. The videos are every now. I've seen them on the news a couple of times.Quote:

BTW: How come I can't see people's public profiles?
You will not be able to see profiles of people placed in restricted accounts, for technical reasons to do with the operation of the board. IOW, it's not a staff policy, just the way things work. You should be able to see the vast majority of User Profiles though.Quote:

I guess he's just one of those folks who seldom checks his PM's or email. He can get his account upgraded by following TosaInu's instructions in the "Sig" thread here in the Watchtower.

BP should be permanently banned. PERIOD. I can't believe we don't have an absolute ban policy for those who support terrorism, but we should.
I don't support terrorism. I simply stated my opinion which is perfectly fine with the rules of the board. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean I should just shut up.
BP,
After what you have written I have no more respect for you than I would a cockroach in my soup. Actually, I probably have more respect for the cockroach, it just does what it is genetically programmed to do.
Ouch, I agree with you somewhat Red Harvest, but lets not let this thread get away from its topic, wait, what was the topic? Oh well....boobies... big gigling boobies...
Horay for Frag, read your PM's brutha man!!! get back in that backroom and get to posting...
Retype what offended you, please. Seriosuly, if you tell me what I said that wasn't true and i'll admit that I was wrong and i'll apologize. If not then don't offend me. I still have enough respect for you to forgive you for the above statement, you still have to give me a rational reason for why I'm wrong. I love a compelling argument but if i read something along the lines "people died blah blah blah" then I won't even respond nor have any respect for your judgement.Quote:

I cuncur. As one of those people who, according to BP, deserves to be blown to pieces, i cannot forgive what he said. There are so many things i want to say to him in the name of terror victims, but civil words allowed on this board wouldnt even come close to the anger i feel towards him. Although i still dont believe he deserves to die.., a nicety not recipricated.
PanzerJager,
That sums it up for me completely. I've had to restrain myself mightily from saying what I really think. If he thinks I should be blown up... well, all of my thoughts toward such a person could either be described as self defense, or homicidal depending on one's perspective. NONE of them are in any way polite nor are they going to become so. He's lucky he's not within arm's reach. Not a threat, just an observation.
I completely disagree with a permenent ban of any forum patron because one finds their posts offensive. That is not the direction we need to go regarding Byzantine_Prince statement.
Byzantine_Prince needs to acknowledge that his word choice did lead to an atmosphere of hostility and hurt, just like the othe patron who apoglized for their choice of words, and attempt from posting in such a manner again.
And yes Byzantine_Prince what you stated was incorrect - the word deserves places blame on the victim. I will not retype the complete sentence because I suspect you know what you wrote.
By the way - I also think Dave should be allowed back into the backroom, for exactly the same reason - does this community really want to permenently ban anyone because they express their opinions?
BP shouldn't be permanently banned, but he should still be punished harshly unless he can give a satifactory reason or apology for his post. But take it from the master of apologists, you can only apologize so many times BP, then it just gets old.
Thanks Redleg for the kind words. I got thrown out last time, for all things, taking the Lord's name in vain (cursing) and being belligerent. Something set me off, i can't remember what it was. I thought I was proving a point, but I got a little off track. Heck, its been long enough that i can't even remember what it is....
Red Harvest and Panzer, pity them my friend, do not scorn. That is my thought for the day!!! ~:grouphug: ~:grouphug: ~:grouphug: ~:grouphug:

I find this threatening behaviour very perplexing. I said nothing that wasn't true. The US government has killed much more people in Iraq then Osama has on the US. Let's see 100,000 versus 3,000. I never said it was a good thing nor did I condone it. I only said that you can't expect people to have no backlash when you support Israel. Israel has had war with Syria, Egypt, and Palestine and almost all of the help came from the US. You shouldn't think of only yourselves. Other people have suffered as well. Especially from the war in Iraq. That was my opinion and if I was an American I would ashamed of my country if I wasn't allowed to voice it. That is what America was founded on, the right to dissent. I was only saying that I wasn't exactly drying when they hit the Pentagon, especially since they hired Osama in the first place. I hated the fact that citizens were lost though. It was a great tragedy. How many times do I have to repeat that to you deadheads. Lay off the pot will ya!?!
Someone has issues with admitting when they are incorrect in their choice of words and created a feeling of hostility and hurt - so instead of arguing with you - I guess I will just have to show you where your statement was offensive.Quote:

Yes the US does deserve an attack. I think it would have been better if he had just attacked the Whitehouse, the Pentagon, and the CIA headquarters. That outta send a good message.
Most people that are offended by such a statement would not bother to read the rest of what you had to say - because that statement implies to almost everyone that reads it exactly what I stated. That you made other arguements about how you came to that conclusion does not matter to most - because of the implied message in your statement and the amount of hostility that it created.
Does it say the two towers? NO!!! So I don't condone senseless killing now do I? Everyone in those buildings(the ones listed) was guilty of war crimes. Why shouldn't i admit that I dont like them?Quote:
Yes the US does deserve an attack. I think it would have been better if he had just attacked the Whitehouse, the Pentagon, and the CIA headquarters. That outta send a good message(The governement).
It's not different, it's exactly the same. The CIA hired Osama. Did i mention the Pentagon gave Iraq the technolology to build weapons of mass destruction.Quote:

Oh and Saddam DID have weapons of mass dectruction before Bill Clinton blew them up in '99.
If they feel hurt by my words then they are obviously ignorant of my intent.Quote:

Hey asshole, ever consider that there are military members in these forums? So since I'm in the Air Force, do I deserve to die? If you want to play "deserves" guess what, if Canada was significant, they would have slammed planes into some of your buildings since you guys are defying the extrimist's "faith". But considering the only military Canada has is basically the US and no one really gives a rat's ass about what "Canuckistan's" opinions are or government thinks, the US gets attacked while you guys can continue marrying homosexuals and doing drugs and allowing terrorist sympothizers to be elected into your governemtn ofices. So take your garbage back in the backroom. Perplexing? Whats perplexing is your utter and complete ignorance on why people WOULD take offense to your HATEFUL opinions.. So, unless you have something productive or explainatory about your behavior, such your mouth or take you filth to the backroom.

I'm glad to see you know something about Canada. LOL, the head of state iof Canada is the Queen. IF anyone attacks Canada they'll have to deal with Britain as well. Technically I am a citizen of the British Empire.
BTW what do you have to do with the Pentagon? My point wasn't who deserves to be attacked. I'm not a terrorist. I don't care. My point was that those assholes in the Pentagon can't mess with other countries and expect no backlash. That's it.
I'm not a terrorist.
Of course not, it takes courage to act upon hatred. You simply justify their killing.
Byzantine_Prince, frankly for someone who wants their warning level to be lowered - you are showing here why your warn level should not be changed - nor that you have learned your lesson about posting styles that initially got you the warning would be my obversation.Quote:

That instead of attempting to understand the point - you jump into an immediate defensive rethoric to attempt to justify your statements. In my many years of dealing with people in a supervision role - to include children- normally when someone jumps into such a defensive stance they know they are wrong - or they are looking for a confrontation. Or they have an inablity to think beyond themselves. Whatever your reasons for posting in the matter thaty you do - you are demonstrating why your warning status should remain exactly where it is - or even increased;
Since people can only read what you write - your intent has to be spelled out - not for them to guess. When you leave it for them to guess what your intent was with your statement - well we see where that goes don't we. When your comments are for the most part impolite when someone response to your comments - you once again lead them to assume the worse about your statements. Civil discourse is an art that one must learn if they want their warn status to lower - I violated it everynow and then - and I normally ackownledge that I am wrong. However it seems you have an issue about doing so.
Ok let's just stop this. I'm sorry I wasn't more direct in my point. I shouldn't have said things a certain way. I understand why you would think they are offensive. If you want you can re-read them. I'm sure it makes some sense.
My brain works in very erratic ways. I can't even type right. I think of the future first and then sequence gets confused when the mind jumps back to catch up. You know what I mean?
Yes I do.Quote:

Words are powerful and some are more powerful then others - I often rewrite my posts more then once to remove some comments - or at least until someone truely gets me angry - then I just fire right back at them - hence the current warning status that I have.
