This thread is not about the morality of the system or the language. If you want to bitch at me, feel free to create an Andy is a monster thread in the place where it is appropriate. In the mean time, stop continuing to run this thread off of it's original discussion.
How am I baiting him by him complaining about me? How am I the one getting off scott-free when he called me a douche and a fag and I just told him to stop whining?Quote:

The way this thread was moderated pretty much sums up the only thing I see wrong with TNL today. The off-topic stuff goes on for about a page, but as soon as "fag" is typed, then something must be done. Is that seriously the way it's supposed to work?

Been here pretty consistantly since 2001. Game Go refugee and all that. These days games are much lower on my "to do" list, but I find the community here interesting and the boards are always a good read, so I don't see myself going anywhere.Quote:

This thread personifies why people leave TNL.
Nah, this thread demonstrates why people come back. The trolling here is frequently annoying, sure, but it can be intellectually challenging and as funny as anything in any movie or television show. I think a lot of members have grown up on these boards and analyzed their reactions and ingrained beliefs in a very healthy way.
Stibbons is your therapist, and he does it for free. I will always see GameGO-era Revoltor as the originator, though, with SuperGHOULSNGHOSTS embodying more of the trolling I don't enjoy. I don't consider Yoshi a troll at all.
I don't see anything wrong with the whining here. This whole thread is an invitation to whine.
I do agree that buttcheeks stepped over the line, but I also think he was baited. You can't have a thread where people are invited to share why they've left TNL and then tell them not to whine.
And there's nothing intellectual about being a troll. It's nothing more than aggressive attention-whoring.
TNL is too politcally correct. I think "fag" isn't enough to warrant a ban or even a warning. But, then again, I think this entire country is too preoccupied with the shit that comes out of people's mouths.
The reason saying fag is now a bannable offense is because people like you used to complain non stop about the lack of moderation around here.Quote:
