Lorraine Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I don't know. I might join to find out why public lice is such a hot topic on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 What a silly thread. When did getting butt hurt over bullshit become such a popular hobby. :| By the way, I live the way this forum is run. If someone steps out of line, the community usually lets the offender know. This is a thread about a non-existent issue. Like a Seinfeld episode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Being offended is one thing Finding something disturbing is entirely something different Not sure why that SPAM thread even exists - freedom of speech - well, you tell me if this is something that should or shouldn't be of concern: ( keep in mind that Surrender claims to be a 15 y/o girl ) http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/100032-the-only-spam-thread-v15/page__st__5800#entry4125650 Edited September 13, 2016 by Lucas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRUSHfan Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) informal poll how many members here are ok with racist and profane hypocrisy at TRF specifically: expletive descriptions of female body parts = not allowedracial slurs against dark-skinned people = not allowed expletive descriptions of defecation = totally acceptableracial slurs against light-skinned people = totally acceptable thoughts? Are you the same 'ghostworks' that's over at Counterparts RUSH message board? If So, and you don't like the rules here, go BACK! If you LIKE to say whatever you want to, THAT'S the place you NEED TO BE. I LIKE being able to 'keep it PG' so a younger set can participate. it's simple. You can't abide by the rules, leave.http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/bananadanceOrig-1.gif Edited September 13, 2016 by OldRUSHfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't mean a few of the TOST regulars have permission to post inappropriate content. That content is what makes that thread a "festering sore" to some of the members here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 A long time ago, I concluded that I could be the most polite, open minded person possible and still offend or piss someone off. So I stopped worrying about it. Hell, I'm sure someone is offended that this is in italics. That being said, I don't personally say anything on the forum that I wouldn't say in real life. Racial things are a definite nono. Sexual references really shouldn't bother anyone over the age of 14. Same with occasional foul language. The thing is...use them in small quantities or you start to sound like an unpleasant jerk to be around. I hope most people know me enough that I just say stupid shit to be funny. Oh shit, I said shit. I'm doomed. :o 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRUSHfan Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure what the OP is referring to, but I do have to say that racism or other forms of hate have no place here (or anywhere, for that matter). Yes, it is fine for people to have differences of opinion - that's just life. Discussions are great, and context is everything. But hate talk is not acceptable.I've got pretty thick skin and I was personally offended by none of the words or comments that prompted the thread what irks me most is the arbitrary double standard of what is and what is not 'offensive/censored' here imo this arbitrary line is childish and silly, and though 99% of this forum - and my time here - is spent passively and enjoyably, sometimes that 1% needs a voice I'm thankful this place allows that I've vented, everyone's moved on - the company line shall remain arbitrary, childish and silly TRF™ - Use at your own discretion Your opinion is noted. Now if you want to be COMPLETELY HAPPY, you know where to go eh? http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/Suave%20Banana.png Edited September 13, 2016 by OldRUSHfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have it all ready to go, come back here and tell everyone that you're open for business.

I promise you I am not being a smartass at all, I am 100% serious.a moment's inequity here certainly doesn't require such extreme action I know the double standards will continue here, but the more members that know that's how administration runs the ship, the better chance things have for refinement and progress knowledge is power But you seem to think "STUPIDITY is POWER!" You're sounding more and more like the "ghostworks" I used to know at Counterparts RMB, ya know?

We may throw sharp elbows and get loud on occasion but for the most part It is sharp conversation among deverse views. We don't have safe spaces, trigger warnings or micro aggressions yet enjoy each other's company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
