If the thread that shall not be named was offensive. *I* didn't think so (there was no nudity or anything 'dirty' that I saw) but then I'm not the owner of the site, so its not my call.

I didn't think it was offensive either, but you can never tell when some prude is going to get worked up into a huff over something meaningless.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
Ah, from respectful disagreement with acknowledgment of the host's interests to out and out disrespect and name-calling in two posts.

Yeah, would you be my attorney? I want to sue for psychic whiplash.

I think the use of the term "prude" is a bit harsh. I was not surprised when the thread was baleeted. It dealt with an iffy topic. If you want racy you can go elsewhere to get it. They have rules and it's their baby.
Edit to point out to Fitz our post counts. OOOOhhh pretty

Could someone explain what thread this was?
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
Look here.

Ah. Thanks. Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Hmm... Fitz, you're being deliberately rude. 'Nuf said?
BookWyrm...I didn't see the original thread/post, but I appreciate your sensitivity to our hosts who are also the owners of this site. In my experience, they are pretty tolerant of what we do here in their "living room" (their words, but I think very apt). It's nice to know that people think of their feelings on things.
I think we're all guilty of crossing lines from time to time (I know I am...). It's the repeated serious violations that get people banned. I think the rest of it just makes kacard a bit sad and when it becomes too frequent or widespread, it causes the entire sponsoring group (OSC and the mods) to wonder if it's worth keeping Hatrack going.
I personally think it's worth trying to moderate ourselves so that they don't get to the point of deciding that Hatrack simply isn't worth the cost & hassle.

Agreed.

Well, why are you still here? Posted by Fitz (Member # 4803) on :
I'm not paying for it.
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
If I misunderstood your intent, I apologize. It looked to me like you cherry picked a quote to make a statement of dislike concerning this message board. If that was not what you meant then I retract my earlier post.
Posted by Fitz (Member # 4803) on :
I just thought it was kind of ridiculous for Bob to point out that I was being rude. Afterall, it was pretty obvious.

Post picking with a cherry picker...mmmmm...
edit: obvious that you were rude? yeah, I thought so too.

I have a 8 step staircase at the front of my house. You can do double steps without 1 leg doing more work than the other, its a perfect number.

He was just making sure you knew we noticed....some people don't admit it when they are rude, and calim it is all our fault for misinterpeting. Posted by BookWyrm (Member # 2192) on :
I think this is the first time I have been described as 'Respectful' on a message board. I've been accused of making outrageous claims, open derogatory remarks, of being a mob (though how one person constitutes a mob, I still ain't figured out), that I have a huge chip on my shoulder, but never respectful.
