Her name was Pauline and she lived in a tree

And of course, no one has (or will) respond to what I said about _Never Mind The Bollocks_.

you say "I wish that some people would fucking THINK before they start spouting this crap. There would be no need for censorship, or administration at all if people could self-filter, and realise what is incendiary, and what is offensive, and what is just plain dumb and inappropriate for a public forum." talking about abortion in the manner that these people were is hardly worthy of administrator action. jesus, most of the posts were about cloning pop stars anyway, is that dumb and inappropiate? (well, dumb, yes, but if we took everything dumb out of the forum...well, i won't finish that sentence). the abortion jokes were admittedly tasteless, but not any moreso than a million other suicide/drug addict/ sexist/racist/nazi/whatever things i've ever read here. there's a lot of stupid people, and a lot of people who act stupider than usual when the chance comes up, but they weren't expressing any anger or hatred in the way that i saw your post as doing, which i think IS inappropiate for the forum.

You may not see that there was a point to made about this thread, I do think Kate had a point to make and had every reason to be offended. It's a matter of perspective. Because there are so many different people posting here there's likely to be big differences of opinion, but as long as people aren't trolling or out and out flaming one another (and I didn't see Kate's post as a flame) I don't see any reason to be telling people the proper form of action (or reaction). That's what C. Dolores Tucker et al. does.

I think the thing that's been pissing me off about this whole thing is that I apologized for my comment when I wrote it, and then the entire thread was derailed into a "controversial" censorship discussion before I could derail it into a less controversial discussion about the Sex Pistols.

I wasn't comparing you to neuro, I was just saying I didn't want to argue this point with you anymore because when you disagreed with him you wouldn't let it go.

I was hoping the same wouldn't happen with this thread, but oh well...

Like the pinefox, I have no idea what this thread means on any level.

yeah, you people were all as bad as jagger back then.

hi sanskrit! :D

reading early ethan posts is like looking at a pollock still life of a vase with flowers
