    what did fromobile do that was so bad. Was it something that he edited out? I hope he didn't get a warning for just posting a stupid opinion. Even if it did include me that was wrong about everything.

    The Faction Wars were prettycool when everyone took a side(Incrementalists vs. thacabbage Patch Kids vs. Optimists vs. a whole lot of other groups). It's also always fun to catch the latest round of the Clutch vs. Dusty Garza blood feud as well.

    Det,

    I didn't see your post the first time. Sorry. Thanks for the congrats!

    You know, I was thinking, between the old .com and this one, I must have like 2000 posts. IROCit has like 10,000! [​IMG]

    I got edited?? I learned that phrase on daytime TV....sorry, I guess it was to graphic or something.

    What names can we playfully call the BBS users colectively??

    HEY MANGO!!! Maybe I don't want to think before I post!!! This is the internet for cying out loud. I bet you're a Spurs fan...AREN'T YOU!?!?!?!? Admit it!!

    fromobile,

    No, I am not a Spurs fan.

    Wouldn't it be better if the members policed themselves instead of testing the limits and patience of the Admins?

    As far as this being the Internet and the entire "Free Speech" theme, there are countless places out there to use off-color
    language. While not entirely a private bulletin board, we are guests of Clutch and the Crew. If you had been around long enough, you would have realized that your wording was over the line before you clicked on the "SUMIT REPLY" button.

    There was another poster who used marginal words and he was often edited and warned by the Admins. Over time, he realized that most of the regular posters held themselves to a higher standard and he adopted it himself. Now he is an extremely high quality poster that never gets edited. I hope you will blend in yourself. Stick with it and learn from this incident.

    fromobile,

    Regardless of your intent, the phrase you used was over the line and it would have stayed unedited if it was acceptable.

    Everything else is the Internet, but Clutchcity isn't everything else. Until you can make that distinction, further discussion is pointless.

    Personally fromobile, I thought what you wrote was funny. I saw the sarcasm in your post, but I could see where others could have taken it the wrong way. Hence, the edit.

    Don sweat it.

    What about:

    1. The Cat Apologists versus Everyone Else

    2. The Dream Critisers v The Dream Police

    3. People with a sense of humour v The Serious Police

    4. DrofDunk v Heypartner

    5. Puff the Magic Dragon Fans v Everyone else not in the Chatroom

    To all concerned,

    I have a sense of humor.
    A different type than most, but it is there.


    Serious Police:

    I often belong to that group and I could name some of my fellow members, but they might be offended being associated with me.

    Dude, Mango, that's two jokes that have just slipped by, what's up? Look, first off I thought the language I used was ok, I mean I was surprised it was taken off. Secondly, I wasnt making a comment about free speach, and the internet, I was making a comment about stupid speach on the internet. You know...ha ha...it's the internet, and there is a lot of dumb stuff out there, so my dumb comments are right at home...ha.....heh...um.
    it was a joke, ok. As a matter of fact my first post was a joke, too. Humor; silly, zaney, funny, happy, sarcastic.....c'mon, these have to ring a bell.

    Smeg #5 is great. I wasnt in the room that night but if you have ever been in the room on nights when the people in there act crazy you would get it.

    heypartner,

    I like thacabbage. Posting against him and some others (TheFreak, Dreamshake, aelliott, popeye, heypartner etc) makes things interesting. I don't always win the discussion, but am able to get an intelligent dialogue going.

    mango- look at heypartners post more closely. Notice that all of the matchups are related word wise or oposite of one another. I think he was being "clever" and not really saying anything meant to be taken seriously.
    Just an observation..........

    Houston Rocks,

    I review after posting looking for typos etc and realized there isn't a Woodshake.
    My post will still stand because nothing derogatory was said.

    Wearing my Serious Police Cap isn't the worst sin committed on this BBS.
