personal attacks on a member of vj..is wrong. i think, what the vjer writes can be addressed but, when one begins to get personal and attacks another's character and/or significant other, then it crosses the line of proper human interaction..just my 2 cents for what it is worth, these days...

just a note...no stones cast at anyone's direction Crickey....

stfu persian shoe.

I doubt it will ever really stop. Some people just can't be open minded enough to listen to different views on subjects they feel strongly about.

I find that to be very sad. I usually attribute it to a lack of maturity!

lol... ... note to your brother charles, per tos and the captain, this can only be used for brother arijit...


better is stfu almaty, you chopf##k

my 2 cents i never figured where anyone thought they were better than the next person (and then theres charles)

how about.........stfu almaty you fencebuilder!


i fart in your general direction

lol..brother charles, i like the way your are thinking today

is that what that was that blew thru here, cleared the room for sure

The TOS specifies which insults may be used against which people??

I know what your talking about bro dean

inside joke - there was a thread where someone used the insult "persian shoe" in the posted story and it's become a vj legend since. i don't believe anyone knowing the history of that lame insult would be offended.

This thread must be a 'guy' thing cuz I didn't understand a word I just read

Jackie

Oh, I'm aware of the referrence, I just didn't know it was codified in the TOS

What gets me is there are a handful of people who do nothing but attack others on a daily basis.

oh yea aint that the truth

yes brother scott...only certain folks are alloted certain insults to their name...it was done in the great vj lottery of 2005.emcee was wookie....i drew chopf##k......

links please...

If you see 'em, let the mods know via PM. We don't read everything and rely on the members to inform us of potential violations - don't assume we've seen it and are ignoring it (or having a long Winter nap)

Guessing this is in relation to that PM from this morning?

That was pretty out of order.

yeah, I didn't understand - was the offensive post removed?

Edited.

it was a secret vote....

bah, I miss everything...

yah me too. must have been something "special" for almaty to start a thread.

well, i guess, some folks here were not attacking or debating a point or thread..but attacking a poster, with an opposite view......
which is not Kosher,,,(with apologies to the Judaism folks here)

Darn... missed that one!

Personal attacks shold not be tolerated! Some people get brave behind the computer and would not dare be so nasty face to face.
The humourous ones are good to read though

*waiting for the post about being adults and having thick skin and all that...it's only the internet*

sister fracas.. i want to say to you and all

being adults and having thick skin and all that...it's only the internet

hi sister margy!!!!...waves to his BEST! friend...

Waves back.......to bro dean, hoping no one gets jealous

I have my eye on you...

I love you Sister Fracas

I loves you too Sister Margy




(whoa... emoticon-overload! LOL)

i know that sister fracas, i am with you as i awaiting the we are grown-ups and yaddy..yaddy..yaddy....always happens......

i guess, being grown-ups means having sh!tty manners.

Mags, not to be offensive, but I constantly do so, and the same keeps happening with no consequences to the usual bullies. Perhaps some members have more pull with the moderating team than us simple mortals. Whatever.

Personal attacks are, at best, a sign of one's own stupidity and inadequacies.

Spot on, totally agree

no!!!! I want a memo!!!!!

*sigh*

Lenina, not to be offensive back, but HOW do you know that we do nothing? Action taken against an individual is conducted privately, so NO ONE (apart from the individual concerned) would know any details. Additionally, what one person may feel is offensive is not offensive to another. It's a difficult job to gauge the middle ground sometimes. Some people report things to us that they feel is a TOS violation but upon analysis it isn't.

People DO get suspended here on VJ - our list is VERY long - but at the end of the day not everyone is going to agree with our actions and that's okay. I really don't mind and I'm used to it.

I'd also like to add that I haven't received a PM from you for a VERY long time, and I wish to point out ONCE more that the Report Button ONLY sends reports to Captain Ewok - not the mods.

ok....so who said what to who?

Ask and you shall receive.

Please point the way to the "clueless" corner so I may find a nice place to sit and wait for someone to hand me a memo.

But, I do agree with brother dean's original post. Internet or RL, we are all persons and should treat each other with respect.

sister mags, point is well taken, pm them directly..the captain ewok, is a busy man in a different time zone, and i admire his dedication to this site..he has to worry about the site functioinfg..advertising etc..the mods are easier to get ahold of and if needed, we consult with the captain
