SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;1099677Hey, at this point I think we should take the bait and fight fire with fire.

Since it worked so well the first time.  :)  

If you think someone is a troll, your best response is to simply ignore them.  What do you win if you 'win'?  

If you don't think the person is a troll, and you think they're subject to well-formulated arguments, why resort to ad hominem attacks?

I think TooBoCoup's attacks were at least somewhat amusing.  Stylistically, they are not like anything else I've seen on this site.  Specifically, 'relax Princess' got a chuckle from me.
When I say objectively, I mean \'subjectively\'.  When I say literally, I mean \'figuratively\'.  
And when I say that you are a horse\'s ass, I mean that the objective truth is that you are a literal horse\'s ass.

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. - Peter Drucker

Fair point, the Princess retort was mildly amusing given my Sailor Moon avatar.

Alright, I'll take my leave from this thread and either TooBoCoup will tire himself out and get bored, or Pundit will step in. Either way, I don't want to be around when Pundit steps into this zombie of a thread, so I'm outta here!

Quote from: Brad;1099630I'm in academia myself and encounter this bullshit all the time, and I know just how little power they truly wield. My wife is actually a professor in Education, in charge of a Masters program, and there are a lot more of the silent majority than you'd think.

The problem with the Silent Majority is everyone believes they are on their side.

As the Silent Majority makes no pushback, what's the effective real world difference between silent disagreement and silent acceptance?


Quote from: Doc Sammy;1099634You have the right to express your opinion though, just as I have the right to call you an idiot for it.

EXACTLY!!!


Quote from: Ratman_tf;1099639Doesn't that mean that people can also express their opinion that troll boy should be banned? Anyone can put Sammy on Ignore as well.

I am loathe to say some opinions should not be expressed, but banning shouldn't be a thing on a free speech forum unless the poster is significantly breaking forum rules.

If being a douchenozzle who posts off-topic comments becomes a bannable offense, then I better be one of the first targets.


Quote from: Koltar;1099653You never left Junior high it seems.

I'd argue the majority of adults haven't matured past high school.
