Re: Classy - Moose has lost it
Yeah, Moose is way out of order here. Hooah quite frequently is a bit of an asshole, but this time he has literally done nothing wrong. He has not broken a single one of the forum rules. Moose is just being a jerk. Moose should be suspended for using his admin privileges to bully a member he personally doesn't like, not Hooah.

WTF
I have had a look at all of Hooahs recent posts.
All I can find is Moose being an arsehole.
Why is Hooah suspended for a fucking week?
Where is the trolling?

I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong

I think Hooah's proposal raised some interesting questions as well but the appropriate place to lobby for promotion of a PNT is the Topic Proposal Issues thread.

I think Moose, like some others of us have had it up to here with Hooah. Pray tell how edifying anything Hooah has said in any of his expletive laced messages.
He's trolls for any opportunity to toss verbal excrement. He reminds me of the orangutans in Zoos which entertain their boring lives by tossing their dung at hapless passers-by.

Re: Koodos To Adminnemooseous
And where exactly in Moose's banning message do you see Hooah being rude? What rule was he banned for? At EvC forum, we're not supposed to get banned because of some dislikes but for clear rule violations. Where is your evidence that Moose was justified in banning Hooah?
Here's the thread that seem to have led to the ban (though I can't be sure since in his banning message, Moose didn't provide a link to the reason for the ban):

I'm pretty sure it was because I started a thread that is (and will remain) riddled with the word SHIT. That, coupled with moose's dislike of my brash demeanor and habitual overuse of naughty language (which will continue until Percy makes it against the rules).

Re: Koodos To Adminnemooseous
To me all words are just vocabulary. The challenge in public forum is to put one's vocabulary to best use. At the simplest level this is just a matter of choosing the right term for your audience, and at the grandest levels it is high art, but when the word doesn't suit the purpose then it just gets in the way of understanding, and a misunderstanding may be at the root of this.
Clearly Moose is interpreting at least some of your contributions as troll-like. You can take a "I'm just gonna keep doin' what I'm doin'" approach, sort of the same as the "I gotta be me" approach, or you can take the approach, "Hey, Moose, wasn't trying to piss you off, maybe we can work this out in a way where I don't have to feel like I'm censoring everything I say and you don't think I'm trolling."

If it were you, Mod, Phat (or even PD), I would do this. However, my past two suspensions were at his hands and were completely unjustified. I don't go around just slinging mud at people calling them names. If you, as site owner, think we should be more censored than we are, and you have a problem (as site owner) with the language used, then I will gladly censor myself. However, I will not censor myself because a particular moderator is a bully or some people are offended either by my vernacular and/or attitude.
{abe}
Secondly, I find it appalling that, even with site rules, we should still feel the need to cater to one particular moderator who has shown himself to, at times, be a little too quick with the trigger and obviously has personal grudges that get in the way of what should be unbias.

Buz, I'll be honest - I've never seen Hooah say anything nearly as offensive as the things you've said about Native Americans, Hispanics, African-Americans, and other minorities.
I think someone as possessed of ignorant, racist diarrhea of the mouth as you has no business to complain about how others choose to express themselves. A board that has tolerance for your racist screeds has plenty of room for Hooah's exuberant obscenity.

Re: Koodos To Adminnemooseous
To be fair, buz is just being politically correct. And this is exactly the reason I am so opposed to this politically correct culture that we've evolved into. It's ok to be racist, bigot, homophobic, sexist, etc. as long as you put your words in a politically correct phrasing. Look at all the republican candidates. They are a bunch of racists and bigots, but since they are also masters of political correctness, they are presidential candidates.
People like buz (and pretty much everyone else) need to learn to read and listen to people's intent behind the words, not just what sounds right and what doesn't sound right. Until this happens, hooah really does sound like a troll because of his choice of words.

I'm starting to think you guys need to internet more and learn what a troll is.....
wiki writes:
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
The only reason my posts are seen as inflammatory is because....I use "bad" words"? I have, on a number of occasions, thought about coming out and telling you lot that "I've been saved! Praise jesus! I see the light end the error of my ways!" and kept that up for a few months only to bait the christian members into....something. THAT would be trolling. Extensive use of the word fuck is not trolling.
