Totally uncalled for

Postby Bluth Corporation » Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:18 pm

I'm not normally in the habit of doing this (in fact, I think this is the first time), but Intangelon's post here, especially the "your hand slipping up and down your inseam, sweat beading on your adolescent brow," is totally inappropriate, insulting, and not constructive at all.

I realize my ideas are unpopular, and I expect to take a lot of flak, but I expect it to be polite and reasonable. I've never been snide, rude, or (as best I can recall) crass or vulgar towards those who disagree with me, and I don't see why others can't return the courtesy.

Well, how else am I to describe the masturbation to Ayn Rand present in that thread? By the way, the Mods prefer that you link to the thread and/or post in question so that they don't have to go looking for it. I understand why you didn't -- that's a bit too close to selflessness for the character you portray here. I get it. So here it is:

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11747&start=100#p411509

If anything, you've copy-and-paste spammed that whole thread -- except that's probably not true. It can't be true C&P if you've memorized it all.

I'll let the Mods decide -- I have no defense for my words, as they're there for all to see, and can be judged on their own merits. If they serve to illustrate that your presentation is skimmed directly from Rand's writings to all who read that thread, then they've been far from useless.

Whoa. Good catch.

I missed it because it was linked to a small word in the OP.

Thanks for having better eyes than me.

No prob, but in my own opinion it is a tad borderline.

Moderation is serious business, people -- that is, more so than NSG at least. If you don't have something pertinent to say, you can find some other place to increase your post-count. (And adding your opinion about the situation is pointless; nobody gives a crap about your two cents if you're not a mod.)

-7.25 diopters in both eyes, so yeah, you could say that.

I also skimmed the post, I didn't linger lovingly over every word. It's a post in Moderation, not Shakespeare. I missed it, and even owned up to it. What's your problem with nearsighted people, pal? :geek: ;)

To those with their UNHELPFUL comments: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11231 some mandatory reading.

As for the comment itself, while borderline, not actionable in my opinion.

Kryo, are you sure those words fall under the PG-13 rating system?

Clearly, I don't have a dog in this fight, but it seems to be more than PG-13 to me.

Context. It's all context. It's describing reading in a unique way.

I think it's pretty clear that it's more than that, especially given the history here.

Yes, yes, we know, mod bias. Innuendo's always been allowed on these boards and, for whatever reason, zealous attachment to or pursuit of anything--from ideologies to having the most awesome jet fighter with acronyms--is associated with masturbation on these forums. There's a reason why the NSwiki, while unofficial, has an article on "wank" as it applies to NS.
