If you're going to include a Thomas Jefferson quote here you might as well include the "bad" with the good.

Quote:

"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people [african slaves] are to be free: nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government." -Thomas Jefferson.

Lets see, a lot of people dont like Bush. He doesnt particularly care about anybody but the wealthy who support him. You really think that people who dont like Bush should rot or only black people who dont like him?



My comment, as pertains to rotting, has nothing to do with people who do not like George Bush. I do not like George Bush. For all I care he can go rot with the people he continues to waste tax dollars on.

That was a play on what Kanye West said a few weeks ago. Over your head I guess.

Pathetic much? Your maturity level is truly off the charts and I hope karma kicks you in the ass just like you deserve.



And your comment is an example of maturity? Now we know why you picked "Inbadtaste" as your name.

Would seem that any type of addressing the fact that a person said something, could qualify as flaming in your view. Thanks for the warning though, its noted.

BTW, if I said that you or somebody else amused me... Is that flaming?

I dont know what Kanye West said so.....

And Im sure glad that you didnt violate any flaming rules this board has in place.

In all honest, I dont know where the hell you were coming from. I can admit that as I can't necessarily decipher the tone of ones post.

Your comment about rotting was not based on the notion they didnt like Bush. What was it based on ?

Also, the name calling is a dead giveaway.


daimyo's last two comments were borderline:

" Over your head I guess."

"And your comment is an example of maturity? Now we know why you picked "Inbadtaste" as your name. "

It's interesting to note that some users, after extensive testing find "the line" and then ride it forever. They rarely actually break the rules, but what they do is just constantly poke at them.


We hate those people.

Is that SJG saying that or is it included in the book as someone else's quote? If so you should identify it as such.

Over your head = you didn't get it, not "you're as dumb as a box of rocks".
The other one was just a way of saying "your remarks were less than admirable. especially when you hold others to such high standards of maturity."
If my arguments/beliefs are so weak that I ever feel the need to lower myself to name-calling I will do so in OTD.

Was that a masked attack on me? Or was it you giving an example of how to "ride the line"?
Either way, it doesn't matter. It is not a direct flame, and deserves no ban.
If people have mastered the art(as looner pointed out) of debasing somebody without direct assault, then I say bravo! Such hidden wit is to be expected from a crowd of political people.

You're fine man. You're not one of "them". If you were you would know.

How many times have you been banned? I can personally remember approximately zero.

Your comments address the messenger moreso than the message, which just barely kinda qualifies as a broader category of responses that includes flaming. I'm not even issuing you a warning.

You were technically addressing an arguement that was illegally made in the form of a character assault by questioning the accuser's character. This is entireely logical as a defense in a character assault. You can't measure the accuracy of an instrument with a less accurate instrument, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That's the cardinal rule of entropy.

There's probably some latin name for it as well. If MM were here, I'm sure he could tell us.
