    It redirected me there when I tried to quote and reply to someones post.

    It redirected me. Im special.
  • Curly J
    Oh and as far a signatures, Mine was said to me by my and Glory Days favorite poster. It was meant as a personal attack towards me, but I embraced it. I guess I'm thick skinned.

    This sure looks familiar--of course, the person this (IMO) most clearly defines won't realize it pertains to them. :rolleyes:

    I'm glad that someone else hasn't succumbed to the pussification of our current society.

    Too many people can't take a good ribbing anymore, whether it be in real life, or in the case of this site, on the Internet. SMH

    Your signature breaks the second rule anyway. :)
  • Curly J
    Maybe color code names of the people that are sensative so we don't offend them. I mean I give a lot of shit to Snot, ETB, Coyotes, and some others including you Justin. You and the other posters I say stuff to know it's not personal, just in fun for the lulz.

    I for one will not be reporting any personial attacks made on me. So bring em !!!

    Rulz ??? What Rulz !!!

    Wait it shouldn't count as I didn't say it. It was said by a quality poster who is greatly missed by many on here. It is a tribute of sorts. Maybe it can be grandfathered in...

    ...okay I'll edit it as soon as I remember how too.
  • Mooney44Cards
    Oh my, people aren't doing a very good job of reading.

    The rule enforcement isn't because people were getting offended, its because it (the personal attacks) degrades the quality of the site, which is what we don't want. Who said anything about protecting people's feelings? That is quite the strawman that was set up.

    My bad then. I took it as 'this coming from a Mooney fan' was offensive to you...This coming from a UK fan.

    No, it doesn't offend me. Like I said before, nothing on this site offends me. If I'm wrong about something, tell me. But don't drag my high school into it like that matters. It's a terrible way to discuss things on top of being completely irrelevant.

    How did a "the rules will now be enforced and douchbaggery needs to be kept inside the confines of the basement" thread turn into 4 pages?

    Because the lines are a little grey in certain areas.

    I see what you mean, but I'll still have to give Sherm crap for it. He deserves it.

    Is there a difference between these statements?

    - I heard LJ is a professional (fill in blank)

    - Something passive aggressive and sarcastic, in regards to sleeper owning a McDonald's.

No reason to let a small handful of people ruin the site for members that actually bring something of value anymore. I want this place to succeed going forward. That wouldn't happen without this change.

    Amen, big reason why I stopped posting here.

    Some people seem to be missing the point about personal attacks (maybe it's me but I don't think so). It isn't about peoples' feelings getting hurt, it's that they almost invariably cause the signal to noise ratio of that thread to become zero. When this happens on a decent percentage of threads, people interested in actual discussion start giving up.

    This post was also given an infraction. This is a perfect example of what is no longer acceptable as mentioned by the OP.
