I would observe it is you that is daft.
You mean declare.
To think you have a right to tell someone they are worthy of being banned,
Which I didn't do, but don't let that stop you from working up a full head of outraged steam.
because you object to reading what they have to say
Nope. My point was aimed at your declaration on principle and not at Joey. That is, your posit regarding a mature response seemed to me to be demonstrably wrong and that was the actual context for my answer. You're overreaching.
while admittedly then saying you are not mature enough to simply ignore that which you find objectionable
Was that before or after I admitted to poisoning the Czar?
lain:
I think the way to respond to the objectionable depends on the nature of the statement. If someone says something that you disagree with but that is within the rules then the appropriate response in a forum is to disagree. If someone says something that violates the rules the appropriate response is to make them aware of it and then if they persist to object more formally.
If they persist then they'll be tossed into a time out, which is the point of rules of conduct.
and then claim that presumptive right is the same as would be afforded to you in your own house, is ludicrous.
What's ridiculous is your reading a general statement of principle as something other. You might need to take a few breaths, work on your perspective and loosen up a bit. No one here is actually trying to ban Joey or even petitioning for it. You need a better understanding of how things go here.
Grow up. Adults know, you don't have to read anyone's post.
Oh stop acting like the adult police and smell the irony in your outrage.
Stop reading those members you don't like.
Stop telling other people what to do. It isn't helping your faux point. :nono:
Instead of thinking you have a right to have those members you aren't mature enough to ignore, locked out of what you erroneously see as your house, because you aren't capable of simply passing them by without a second thought.
How you can be this wrong on every single point is amazing. Nearly a mathematical puzzler. :think:
You believe in freedom of speech. Just as long as you agree with what's said.
Not even remotely true, so you're being consistent. :thumb:
That's the point you're making here.
Well, no. That's you running in the wrong direction with the football. It's nearly Greek at this point.
oly:
As is everyone else who thinks someone they don't like to read should be banned, because they don't like that what's written and aren't capable of ignoring it.
:rotfl: Seriously, stop it.
So instead they want an authority figure to do the work for them. By banning Joey. Who's just as freely entitled to his opinion as you are.
That you didn't and don't get the subtext of this thread and didn't apparently realize my criticism was aimed singularly and not at Joey justifies its existence for entertainment value alone. :BRAVO:
It's an incredible opportunity to see who you are in all matters, when something like this silly issue will cause you to be so small and yet believe yourself to be so entitled.
See: irony, supra.
We all know that. It's Knights. And we've been here long enough to understand a number of things you appear to be missing in your...exuberance? :freak:
YOU don't have to be here. That's as easily said as what you and others are saying about Joey only you're going to the extreme of saying, he should be forced out.
Except we really aren't. You're just out of your element. It happens. And why are you shouting anyway? :idunno:
I doubt in real life anyone feels comfortable in your house.
lain: Right. Better now?
