Nationalism vs. Chauvinism: Where is the line? in Close to Politics ·
Michael Adams2 said:that would definitely speed things up—those folks from the town square would be gone in a flash..😂

Just more sacrifices made for the sake of the Homeland, right?🙂

Inquisitor2002 said:Lip got banned—which, if you ask me, was totally deserved—but Fairytale’s still around? Honestly, I have no clue where you're getting those big-headed conclusions from.

Just to clear things up—ironbadger31 didn't ban Fairytale.

Inquisitor2002 said:I mean, I’ve been there myself... once or twice... way back in the day, actually—lost my cool and got banned a couple of times, but honestly? I wasn't even mad about it.

When it comes to getting played, even Lip wasn't against being taken for a ride—but honestly, that didn't do much to help ironbadger31.

Inquisitor2002 said:I don't get why everyone's struggling to see how complex Fairytale's character actually is—especially after the way ironbadger31 laid it out so perfectly... right?

That’s where the whole mess with Fairytale started—and honestly, that doesn't make her swearing okay. She should've been grounded for that... regardless of what was going on around her.

Man, people just don't know how to do their jobs—then they act all surprised when they end up in a mess like this?

Let's ask ironbadger31—did you actually ban Lip just because he started taking shots at someone's family?

ironbadger31 said:So, what’s the actual takeaway here? Honestly, you've still got some growing to do before you get there...

It’s a good thing you aren't the only moderator on duty—at least when things go sideways, someone else can step in and fix it.

Michael Adams2 said:It’s off-limits because Lipi.hr got banned

The whole point here is just showing what a total joke Bajki is—basically just feeding himself his own hype, which I guess is his favorite hobby...🙂

It’s allowed since ironbadger31 didn't ban Lipog or Action2. It used to be simple—you insult someone's mom, you get banned. Period. No excuses. But now? Apparently, we can "negotiate" that? Honestly, sounds pretty stupid to me. If someone can't keep their cool or lacks basic self-control, that's what moderators are there for—to hand out a ban so the person can chill out and get their head straight, right?

Jessica Nguyen85 said:I don't really get the point of this thread... feels like some weird power trip? I mean... Action2 isn't even a frequent contributor over in the Politics section... so now someone's out here giving a step-by-step breakdown of why she's such a mess and needs "professional help"... it's just wild... especially being posted right here in the Lounge. 🙄

The whole idea here is for ironbadder31 to show everyone how much swearing at someone's family is actually allowed—under certain conditions, of course. And for specific people.

You eventually just get used to how toxic the Politics mods can be. 🤮

dustyscout53 said:Why even bother banning her? Honestly—she feels way more foolish now than if I’d just slapped her with a ban a dozen times before. And she won't pull that stunt again... I'm pretty sure of it—well, mostly, anyway.

So you were just calling me out saying I wouldn't take him on—but wait, didn't I suggest hitting him like a couple of times before? Seems like you were straight-up lying on purpose... just wanted to point that out, even if you did try to flip the script and call me two-faced.

dustyscout53 said:I mean, aren't you kind of a stickler for specific moderation styles anyway? 😉 😁

Yeah, one of my personal rules is I ban anyone who starts throwing insults at people's moms—especially if they try to lecture me after getting the boot. You’re pretty well known for having your own... unique way of doing things. Mostly just being naive, I guess? Look, I already told you—I don't have a problem with naive people. I'll laugh at them, just like everyone else does. 🙂
Nationalism vs. Chauvinism: Where is the line? in Close to Politics ·
Michael Adams2 said:That’s exactly what I was saying back when those slackers all gathered in the town square for that one radio station—what was it called again?

Go for it, man... don't let them get to you.🙄

Franjo Harmon said the same thing, but luckily they didn't listen to him. Luckily? Maybe not. It might have actually sped things up. 😉
Nationalism vs. Chauvinism: Where is the line? in Close to Politics ·
Honestly? I think the cops should just handle it. Give those officers a good smack on the head—let them deal with whatever noise people make. There aren't any innocents in this mess, so just swing until it's over. Sure, some civilians might get caught in the crossfire—but hey, what can you do? That's just how it goes.

ironbadger31 said:Man, if the roles were just slightly different—like if Hannah Edwards was some right-winger instead—she’d be right there fighting by my side on this thread. We've seen it happen plenty of times. Honestly, your whole setup and how you view this issue is totally biased and hypocritical—proven time and time again.

I've already told you a few times now that you're just sucking up to Hannah Edwards. Did you actually back her up? Nope. You're just talking trash to hear yourself speak. 😉

ironbadger31 said:Btw, let’s clear one thing up right now—I don't treat every swear word the same way (that’s just my call and my right to moderate how I want—not naming names here). There’s a massive difference between someone losing it because they were provoked versus someone just being unprovoked. It’s not the same when you’re swearing at a troll versus when someone’s just being a total savage. And it’s definitely different when someone swears mid-debate compared to when they’re just trying to start drama and kill a thread.

That’s what dustyscout53 doesn't actually get—honestly, this whole thread is just a perfect excuse for him to take his own little issues out on me (aka my moderation style). Still, this thread has a totally different purpose, so dustyscout53, maybe try not to make everything about yourself again? 🙂

The guy insulted someone’s family—specifically, their mother. And you didn't go after the person who actually wrote it. You can spend all day explaining your logic and sure, some people might agree with you, but if anyone else—Athena, Simba, or whoever—did the same thing, I’d give them the exact same response. Look, even though I can't stand the way you moderate, it’s just plain stupid to expect you to pull a blunder like this and walk away without me saying a single word. I don't think you have a personal vendetta against Stock, or that you're siding with Lipog, but I do think you're completely incompetent as a moderator—which is exactly why I’m going to speak up every single time I have the chance and the arguments to back it up. This isn't the first time you've heard that from me, either.

Anyway, hope you guys have a nice rest of your night and good luck trying to justify this nonsense. 🙂
Favorite Nick Cave song? in Music ·
Man, Ship Song gets me every single time—I'm out here tearing up whether I'm solo or with friends (if I'm with people, I just point at whoever's getting emotional), it’s just one of those things when you're feeling down... 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Whenever I hear "We make a little history baby"... I mean, I don't really get why it's plural? Like, isn't it just me making a little history every time I show up?

amateur hack said:A lot of people are holding out hope..

Saying "next year" is a pretty sweet way to handle that kind of anticipation, right?

I'm with you.

Next year!

👍

Man, what an absolute idiot. 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

panced said:Man, if the Missouri was part of the US, you wouldn't even have to move, dustyscout53—you'd already be home. 😁

Don't sweat it, buddy—the Missouri will be back under one flag again before you know it. 😁 😁

Man, Tarantino actually wrote the script for that one... 😁 😁 😁 😵

Man, that line cracks me up. 😁 😁 😁😁 😁
Al Pacino vs. Robert De Niro in Movies ·
Tony Montana said:Honestly, both of them have been kind of overplayed lately—you know, with Al Pacino’s constant outbursts and Bobby’s goofy faces in those comedies.

Bobby’s comedy faces? Wait, so you weren't actually dying laughing when he was crying in Analyze this? Seriously, that's what you call "acting"?

Al Pacino! 😛

I'm more of a De Niro guy.

And Al Pacino is just... small. Like, how can someone that small pull off a mobster vibe?

Well, Joe Pesci is small too! And he makes a killer mobster!

So, what, you think Joe Pesci is better than Al Pacino?

Not better, just way angrier.

But yeah, I still have a soft spot for both of them from back in the day. 😍
