downwardspiral 0 #18 May 20, 2009 Quote Quote Nice PA Oh please I think a review of the rules is necessary. Quote 1. No personal attacks. 2. No jokes about pedophilia. 3. No advertising in the forums. Personal attacks It is important to realize that a personal attack is any attack (slurs, insults, denigrations, implications about their mothers, etc) or threat against another poster. Any such attack is not permitted here. This is true even if you are absolutely, 100% sure that the poster is stupid, or ignorant, or childish, or an ass. It doesn't matter if you think it is true or not, or even if you can prove they are an ass. You can't post such messages here. If you feel it is important to post such things, unmoderated forums like rec.skydiving do not have any such restrictions. Clever insults that attempt to get around the above (i.e. "I like rabbits" "anyone who likes rabbits and posts here is an idiot") will result in the same sort of bans/locks/thread deletions that a personal attack will. Quade's remark is clearly a PA as it has notrhing to do with the subject of the thread. Now if quade were to outline clearly how exactly rushmc doesn't know what he is talking about in the context of the thread topic then perhaps it could be argued that it isn't in fact a PA. www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #19 May 20, 2009 Uh huh.....right. Thanks for quoting the rules to me. I always wondered what they were Anyway, back to your regular scheduled persecution..... Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #20 May 20, 2009 when I first read it, I thought Quade had rewritten his posting with this, and that seemed inappropriate. (rewriting someone's quote without clearly indicating is a peeve of mine). But now I see it's his signature - he really has only himself to blame if he actually views it as an attack.

funjumper101 15 #24 May 20, 2009 What point were you trying to make? There must have been something. Conservatism is all about maintaining the status quo and limiting rights. No change is a good thing. If conservative philosophy was implemented as was attempted, blacks would still be slaves, women would not be able to vote or own property, and discrimination on the basis of skin color and race would still be codified in law. All of these social changes were bitterly opposed by the conservatives of the time. Can you make a case that the USA would be better off if Conservative philosophy had more successful in the past? Didn't think so... It has been bad for the country when conservatives have been in power. Every single time the country has ended up worse off. In some ways, I have a progressive political philosophy. Freedom of religion includes freedom FROM religion. Laws should generally expand freedom for responsible citizens, not limit freedom. In some ways I have extremely conservative views. Taxes should be high enough to pay for the services as we go. More taxes should be paid by those that can pay more. Income taxes should be abolished and consumption (sales) tax should apply to all purchases. Everything. Goods, services, food. Everything. You get back the first 10000.00 you paid out at the end of the year. Beyond that, no refunds or writeoffs. Those that buy more, and more expensive stuff will pay more. Fair and square. Poor folks will have fun with their refund checks. A handy involuntary savings arrangement for them. All citizens should be taught how to use and care for firearms in public school. Every law abiding adult over 18 should be required to maintain at least one firearm in their home. Kind of odd from a "liberal", as it were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
