  • The picture rah didn't want us to see and Ming banned away for

    This is the picture that was posted by Boddinton's

    rah removed it, and Ming banned Boddington's for it while he not even saw it.

    do you guys think Boddingthon's should be banned for it?

    No. I mean, sure it's sexist but...it all depends on the circumstances. I think a warning would be sufficient.
    Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

      where was it posted? Off-Topic? I have no problem with it - it's hardly explicit or sexist, is it?

        That picture is first in a series of 24. As rah and Ming presumably knew

          Oh wow...this is SO asking for it.
          If ever a thread deserved Postia Ante Deletia, this is it. Read the FAQ and you'll see that banning is at a moderator's discretion, not by democratic vote.
          "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

            the FAQ doesn't say anything about nagging after the decision has been made, now does it? :P

              The picture itself is vulgar and a bit sexist IMHO, but compared to the bigoted sexist/xenophobic/anti-semetic/homophobic/etc...etc... rants and flames that are actually written in the OT it is tame.

                  I think Bodds should be banned, period! And he tends to build up to bannings on a regular basis anyway, so...

                      before I 'm going to say how well you handled this situation I wanna know what the facts are in your opinion.

                      It would be a pitty if I would reward you for something you did by accident

                      For so far, I have to admit I was hoping for something different.

                        A banning for yourself, you mean?

                        Yeah ... we know. (j/k)

                          facts are not related to the opinions of the people who witness them.

                          try asking the right question.

                              exactly.

                              try asking the right question.


                              I'll mention you as my personal mentor from now on in my CV
                              The right question should be:

                              "I know the facts, Boddingthon's told me. Do you know the facts?"

                              Since you're going to ask this question with plain 'yes' I'll have to ask a second question:

                              how did you know them?

                              But, I'm afraid I lost this one.
                              Good shot Markos! I'll have to be smarter next time.

                              BUT there's still a change you're going to answer WRONG. Do if for me babe! Make my day.

                              *sob* I lost. *sob*
