I get that "to Sculli" is still an applicable verb to some of the old-timers of the board. To say its NetNanny or CareBear-ish I don't think is fair. The majority of the site wants to see good flames, but they want to see good flames that are dumbed down to people telling themselves to "kill themselves." Aside from it being one of the more harsh attacks, it shows a sign of "I have nothing left" and gets anyone nowhere fast. Seeing a point/counterpoint/rinse and repeat argument is much more entertaining, a more provocative read and makes our site/userbase/server look better.
Too each their own I guess. I don't see any difference in "Go kill yourself" and "Go fuck yourself", one in the same. The Flameboard is a haven for insults. Also, NetNanny is very applicable to this. You're sheltering but covering that up with the facade of cleaning something up. However, that's merely a judgment call from my stance, it's not something everyone will agree on.
If anything, I like you. You stick to your guns and you won't change. There's been stuff in the past we've posted about in agreement of. (O&A, Party Rock - if you remember that one)
I don't think you're a bad guy, despite the looks of it, and I wasn't out to attack you to be mean. I just didn't agree with you, this time. It's as simple as that. You basically stepped over a line I hate, personally, to see crossed and that is it. I'd much rather get banned for a month than for someone to delete my words, honestly. However, even if I didn't like you that wouldn't stop me from agreeing with you on something good.
Yeah, I vaguely remember that but geesh, that was friggin' years ago, no? My memory is pretty pathetic.
All that said, I was just expecting a "Sorry you feel that way, I don't care" or nothing. You had to go and make it interesting. Here lately my post count is down.../nudge. That and, let's face it, I get rubbed pretty raw when something I like gets fubared. I was also trollin' for things to bitch at, since I missed the opportunity to pre-protect (I guess that works?) my lovely gaming forum... I wont slip and let that happen again.
