Gone, who's gone ? I may be a real gone guy, but I am not gone from here yet, still have 50% life.

If it is incorrect to maintain no insult is permitted on the site, please boil why down into a nutshell, why ? Because the wording of Sentence three is clear to me, why is the meaning seen, by staff and members, in an entirely opposite way ? And, I am not being purposefully obtuse ! Negatio

Oh, yes, I see, the spirit of the rules trumps any literal interpretation of the rules, and, since according to staff, the spirit of the rule in question is that insult is totally acceptable upon the forum, other than within the introductory forum, the rule must mean what staff says it means by mere virtue of the fact that the staff exists.

Wow, that's a great new means of me arguing a theoretical position, I. e., I am correct because I exist. Wow, cool ! Totally bomb-proof argument !

Oh, now I see, the forum hails out of North Korea ! How could I have been so obtuse !

It is becoming clear, and this has been the case all along, that there is no reasoning with members and staff is possible, and, I can point out precisely why, in the instance of sentence three.

However, I wish, first, to hear if anyone is willing to give a nutshell explanation of why staff/members and I are at direct opposites in the interpretation of the sentence in question.

Because you don’t know the difference between “please try” and “you must”...

My impression of what he meant by sentence three was the "Note that this does not give you a carte blanche to act in an insulting or rude manner in other areas of the forums" part.

By the great, golden, greasy gonads of God, are you STILL grinding on this?  Fuxxake, pick some other topic and move on.

Because your interpretation serves your position of protecting and defending your fragile ego.

BTW: schizophrenogenic was debunked years ago as faulty, just so you know to stop using that victim position.

Ordinarily, on Earth:

The real is rational and he rational is real.

However, here, in the forum, the irrational is real and the real is irrational. Negatio

Surely, Boru, I shall immediately resign my original freedom, and, from here on out, I promise to think precisely like you, fine.

Yes, J., that is what I am referring to.  Losty, the part about "Please try..." appears below, appears subsequent to the prime point of the rule, which is that members do not possess a 


carte blanche to act in an insulting or rude manner in all the other areas of the forum... ''please try'' is super sweet, then the author goes on to lay out the rule, the correct 


procedure...refer the matters to staff...do not handle it yourself, i.e . do not handle perceived trolling yourselves...

The rules of the Atheist Forum are such that members are not permitted to handle perceived trolling, themselves, via insult. Do not insult the perceived trolls, be nice, be sweet, at all times, and, refer the matter to staff. Nuff said, I will drop it now.

Thank you Jormungandr. Negatio

Ah well that’s easy, you’re allowed to insult to an extent but you don’t have carte blanche to insult. Ie..the flaming rule.

You already received an official staff ruling on this matter, as per your request. There will be no further explanations for you. Get back to the topic of the thread.

No one's asking you to resign anything, or think in any particular way.  But everyone here knows the difference between living and deceased horses, and I really think it's time you stopped flogging the latter.

I can see it now: Abaddon the Sweet.

Boru, Losty, I just said, Nuff said. Ya-all are bringing it up again. I'm done with the topic; Jormungandr stepped-in and assisted in the proper explication of the rule.. Losty, do not order me about as if I were your peon, that shit does not work with an American, and just gets one's ire up. Will you ever learn to be sweet at all times to new members ? Oh, Losty, you are so so sweet, just a little sweetie pie...Negatio P.S. I am considering changing my handle... perhaps to: Positivio
