Blatant profanity IS against the rules. I never said anyone was above the rules. However, every call Steve makes is a JUDGEMENT call, and part of making judgement is looking at who typed it and WHY it was typed.

When someone who hasn't been around long, or someone who is constantly snide in his/her remarks, makes a comment towards a person or persons who truly help make this a great Disney board, they're asking for trouble. An attack back towards them from the members is warranted in my opinion. In this recent case that is exactly what happened, so obviously these same respected members fired back and protected a person they know to be kind and helpful.

The rules DO apply to all, but as I said above, those who have built up respect and shown good judgement in the past are given a little leeway. I think that makes perfect sense.


This is a "Disney" site. I think it is obvious that children might be attracted here. Some of the posts I have seen here are not fit for children or responsible adults IMO. Attacks of any kind from one member to another should not be allowed. The administrator has posted very clear instructions about this issue. If you, I or anyone else has a problem with a post, it should be reported to a moderator. Individual members should not post back profane or threatening comments to other members. However, I have observed this aforementioned behavior on a repeated basis on this board. I have reported some of these posts that violate the rules to the board moderators. I do not agree that folks who make snide remarks deserve attacks from other members. That is "an eye for an eye" theory. Well, if we keep doing "an eye for an eye" then the whole world is going to be blind!

...yeah, my language was totally inappropriate and I regret using it...but at least I feel passionate enuf about something to lose my temper once in awhile...I never start trouble, unlike EDDIE, who trolls the forum making adversarial remarks about what I've done or said...I told him to stop doing this yet here he is again, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong....prolonging the argument when it isn't necessary....this is MORE damaging and MORE polarizing to the forum than ANY profanity.

...EDDIE, you don't like it here, you don't like us and you don't like the administrator....mostly, you don't like that you will NEVER be accepted as part of the gang.......so why don't you take your sorry butt out thru the door you came in...

I'm really getting sick of this guy!

Thanks tramp, I'm glad you said this. I was reluctant to say more about "EDDIE" but I agree with you all the way, again thanks for saying so..:sohappy: :sohappy:

I agree pretty much totally of what MSU said. It does not matter how many posts you have or how long you have been here. There are about 4 members here that I have become really good at talking to, and some of them havent been here as long as me and dont have a lot of posts, but I respect them. I also give the long term members respect when it is due, because most of them are respectful back, earlier I wasnt totally respectful to Tramp, and I apoligize for that, it is how I felt at the time. I also respect all the other members on these boards.

And as another note. To MSU's post, I personally think that every single member on these boards deserves respect. But when they start treating other people like crap, then they dont deserve peoples respect. Like Hyperion was doing.

Whenever I find that I am beginning to get in the middle of an unnecessary argument in a thread, I just stop posting. If hyperion had done this, he probably would still be here. The one time I remember doing this was in a thread I started in chit chat about proposing an idea to stop arguments about post counts. I think I started to make a few people mad with the idea of the thread, so I just stopped postingand let it die. (by the way, sorry to everyone I might have agravated in the thread. Its all behind me now :) ) It does get agrivating when people continue posting over and over again just to prove themselves right. Even if they are right about their side, all it does is stir up arguments that no one wants to see on a site about Disney.


anywho....:)

Mabey this board will be for arguing? :)

EDIT: I dont know what the heck I was trying to say in one paragraph here, so I got rid of it!

Talsonic, I hate to think you feel you are treated unfairly. Perhaps these are the not the forums for you. Certainly if you feel you are being mistreated, you should go somewhere you feel comfortable.

Hey buddy.. How are ya???

Editing to add this...
Steve, it is clear that the quoted post was made as an aggitator. Is there anything that can be done about this?
Let me ask WHY, after the arguing has ceased, do you feel the need to start it again? Are you that much in need of petty infighting that you just need to tryan infuriate others?

Just a thought.
