Realizing that a thread of mine which was a contest to whoever could say the most ridiculas sentence to get you killed was inappropiate I shall avoid posting for one week as self punishment.

The "What phrase will most likely get you killed Contest" thread ,since deleted.

Did anyone win?
 
Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :
 
*sigh* I don't know since this morning it was deleted, anyways starting NOW. See y'all in a week.

All right, I'll stop asking you questions, baiting you to come back. [Wink]

Don't knock yourself up too bad--I've seen worse threads.

Sid, in the thread you stated that if someone was offended you would delete it. Someone indicated that they were offended, you weren't deleting it (probably because you were doing something silly like sleeping), so I deleted it for you.

From a moderator standpoint I was torn -- it clearly wasn't intended as offensive, for you as much as said so -- but it certainly could be considered offensive by a bare minimum of three groups of people. Since someone indicated offense, the decision was to some degree taken from my hands (though to be fair I think my action would have been the same either way).

If you have somewhere to be or something to do for a week, by all means go there or do that. But there's really no need (from the forum standpoint, anyway) to impose a ban on yourself.

[Hat] Hello Sid.
 
Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :
 
Ah, hello, this is new, I've never been praised on this forum before.

Ive always disliked self-punishment. Once you're willing to do it, haven't you learned your lesson? And isn't it more fun for someone else to punish you? [Wink]

Hahahah, Remnant knows what he's talking about. you can't punish yourself. It ruins the fun for everyone =p
 
Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :
 
heh, alright I won't punish me self, but I'll also avoid posting posts that may be considered inappriote. However I will still post controversal threads when I egt the chance.
