Site rules announcement (it's lengthy but required reading).

    Okay maybe I'm missing something but if people wanted to continue to pick on a mod or board member, LJ's knowledge, Sleeper's Ipad2s, etc, they could still do so in the basement, correct? So its not as if they cannot continue their usual schtick, they're just curtailed in where they can do it.

    Never once did I attack someone. I called someone out for continually whining, that is now a personal attack in your guys' eyes?

    But ya'll are OK with continually harping on stupid shit like LJ and sleeper and all that shit.
    All of your posts were worse than lhslep's joke.

    I did. I started with the list of rules. Clicked on that I accepted the rules, started reading page 1,2 got to page 3 saw your personal attack on me and then asked if it had been taken care of.

    You referred to someone as being like skyhook.

    Justin, why is saying LJ is an expert a violation? It's not a personal attack worthy of an infraction (there are a lot worse things said), so if it's said on a thread that's already spun out of control, wheres the infraction?

    lol So you didn't read the thread. You read 2 pages of it.

    And I never attacked you. I called you out for bitching and moaning about a WARNING, which did absolutely nothing to your posting ability.

    Hey footwedge, have any more mathematical trouble lately? I'm hosting a percentile study thread for people on here who (like you) don't know how to calculate percentiles, would you like to join? I know you need the help...

    A personal attack would have been something like...

    You are a little whiny bitch.

    I didn't say anything near that.

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.
    You're so innocent. This post brought a tear to my eye.

    Seems like a roundabout personal attack to me.

    This post better be infracted or dealt with.

    Your posts were more of personal attacks than lhslep's.

    Yeah, but if in the course of a thread an opportunity to make a sweet joke about LJ the creator or sleeper the troll comes up going to the basement to do it seems ridiculous.

    That would be perfectly fine in the basement. The point of the basement is to give people an area to be idiots if they want to. We just want to keep the rest of the place relatively reasonable.

    Edit: I took way too long and Justin responded first.

    Show me a personal attack.

    I never once attacked anyone. I called him Skyhook Jr because he was bitching about a warning. The exact same thing that Skyhook did when he received his warning for continuing to post about the Cavs attendance.
