You misunderstand the disclaimer.

I don’t think I did.

See Todd’s restrictions placed on Richard. It would seem that you are
incorrect.

This is a protection device for Lugnet.
This does not mean that it is okay to violate the Terms of Use, nor does it
mean that those who do aren’t subject to having their posting rights
revoked.

That’s not what I’m arguing. I am by no means advocating that it alright for
everyone to start posting in that manner. What I’m saying is that when it
does happen it’s a bit pointless having this parade of posters coming on
complaining about how offended they are. They should be aware that this sort
of thing is possible, and just let it go and leave it to the admins to deal
with it, or at least if they wish to voice discontent to do so in a private
email.
|
So why are you coming on complaining about how offended you are at how offended
they are? Why didn’t you send them a private email?
As to it being pointless, I think it has illustrated what people feel is over
the limit.

Shrug. I see a lot of apologists for Lego, the very thing Richard decries.
So should I not be consistent and cite you as an apologist for Richard?
|
If you wish. I was merely trying to provide a bit of balance. I don’t know
Richard from a bar of soap. It just seemed like there’s was a bit of
witch-hunting going on and the one who provoked it all got off scott free.
This is not to say Richard’s blameless in this, but mere profanity wasn’t the
only breach of the tos here.
|
And I pointed out which was the more serious breach, something you seem to be
ignoring. If Todd wants to place restriction’s on Jon, it’s within his power,
but I don’t think it is serious enough in itself to warrant such, IMHO.
| |

Yeah, Jon got in his nasty little dig (accurate to some degree - just as
Rihard’s complaints about Lego are accurate to some degree) and Richard
fired back with nukes, poison gas, and other Weapons of Mass Destruction in
an over-the-top revenge-strike of Mutually Assured Self-Destruction.
|
Wow. All that. Look, Jon obviously knows Richard’s a somewhat volatile
poster, and yet he still chose to post. He must have known what sort of
reponse he was going to get - his smug response afterwards confirms this.
|
Richard is responsible for his own actions. I rather imagine he would agree
with that assessment. He knew what he was doing.
| |
I’m certainly not offended by Jon’s post either, from what I know of him in
.space he seems like a good guy. I just find it annoying that after the
slightest utterance of a profanity (I’m talking generally here, the specific
post in question was obviously more than a ‘slight utterance’) the post count
goes through the roof and none of it has to do with Lego. Doesn’t anyone have
anything better to do than play moral policeman? Leave it to the admins and
move on - if you must do something, bring it to the attention of the admins,
and move on.
|
No, you were specifically referencing Richard’s message and those who
specifically complained about that message - raising other incidents is neither
comparable nor to the point at hand.
Further, I brought it to Richard’s attention so that he would understand that
someone who is familiar with him (as much as one can over a message board)
feels he passed over the limit, so that he might reconsider his actions.
