Discussion Topic For Today
 
"Is Bob A Crunt?"

As he is a moderator, I would have exprected better than to see a foul-mouthed disgrusting swear word to apprear in one of his prosts, and thrinly disguising it with an addritional 'r' frools nobrody.

Cran we now exprect a new set of rules on what language is now acceptabrle, and what isrn't?

Surely if he cran say these thrings, so cran the rest of us.

:confused:

context is everything, I wasn't calling anyone a crunt, I was saying stop acting like a bunch of crunts...there is a difference.

Yea right Bob - I feel much better knowing that I'm one of a BUNCH.......

I'm looking forward to the day you use your "Mod" influence and authority to censor someone for bad language.........

You got it wrong - badly - and I think you know it. "Bunch"? - straws, clutching........ The word 'sorry' wouldn't go amiss.

I've been publicly and privately told to shut up - which I now shall - but I look forward to pushing the expletive boundaries in the weeks ahead.

Would that mean the Dean specifically, or does he exist in the context of a greater bunch of dullards....

Well said o wise one. :)

As for the issue at hand - it would be a rare individual that would want to be lumped into a homogenous mass.

Perhaps the moderator might want to examine whether he forgot that this is a "bored" of individuals and modify his nouns and adjectives accordingly.

That should read "o wise ass" methinks....

Well, not that I have to explain myself, I don't really go heavy handed with mod'ing, but it is all about context.

And a fair bunch of folk here were being unfair to GR, so I've got nothing to apologise for that, if you weren't acting like an arsehole to him then obviously I wasn't referring to you, but for anyone that was....it's fairly obvious there.

You can push your luck, but if expletives aren't in context, it'll be edited.

ok...about being unfair to GarethR....I think we all behaved towards him as we have been doing all along, the fact that he is now a moderator has not changed that, only put him in the limelight for a bit, 15 minutes of fame and all that....and I am sure that GarethR is not after any special treatment from any of us...although I did flirt with him, which is a bit out of spec...

As for The Dean...he's just stirring.

That's true, he can hold his own, but to get grief just for being a mod is a bit out of order I felt, getting grief for being a numpty on the other hand :lol: :D

Bob, you missed the point entirely - he was getting grief for being an all round *crunt*, as demonstrated on numerous occasions in the past. We were expressing our *concern* at his appointment.:frown:
I'd like to think no-one would get grief purely for being a mod.:)
