Ricky.....
| You jump into a thread about push ups and instead talk about eating each other and making babies. And of course this is done all whilst calling out specific members of the forum in a provocative way. That is trollish behavior, to say the least. |
Yeah, no one ever breaks the thread on SFN! Terrible transgression!
And "calling out"? Calling out who? and for what? For Christ's sake, it sounds like an epidemic of anal sphincter constrictive disease!
Troll, Schmoll! If everyone that ever changed subject or jabbed another member here on SFN was a troll, the whole damn Network would be buried deep in the mountains of Scandinavia! |

What Kil said is "censorship" just like not having a letter-to-the-editor printed in a newspaper is "censorship" (for which "justification" is never offered, so far as I know). But your words are still there for everyone to see, and you could continue your joking around elsewhere. When compared to cases such as the government suppressing its own research for political reasons, your crying "censorship" for being called boring and told to cut out the boringness really lowers the "censorship" bar to nearly nothing.
I expect that the next time someone tells some creationist quote-miner to quit lying, you'll be right there shouting "censorship" since the direct intent will be to prevent the expression of certain ideas. Or is it just going to be "censorship" of your own alleged witticisms that concerns you?
Of course, what's amusing is your apparent assumption that Kil's reason for red-texting you is hypersensitivity to your rather bland homoeroticism, when what I (and apparently Ricky) see is a bunch of childish taunts. Looks like Dude isn't really rising to your bait (looks to me like he's bored of you, by the way), and H. is absent. |

You're mostly correct here. I am one of the big bosses. And as such I do not feel inclined to play games with you Bill. My sandbox, my rules. Take it or leave it…
No trips though. But you aren't going to believe that so, whatever...

To get back on-topic, I have wondered about those, CoA since I've seen them at my local sporting goods store. I didn't buy them but did pony up a few bucks for some of those hexagonal dumb bells. Ultimately, though, I wasn't getting that much out of them. Thus, a few months ago, I broke down and got a real gym membership.
I never thought I'd say it, but I'm happy with the results so far-- much happier, I think, than I'd gotten those perfect push-up things that I'd probably never use! |

| It is noted, however, that he "once permitted himself to be seduced" in the liaison which produced his secret daughter. |
DUNE SPOILERS
Actually it is the duty of royalty to submit to the Bene Gesserit breeding program (insemination is out of the question). Prior to this encounter, the Baron was a fine specimine, but his distaste for the BG made him preform the act in an unpleasant Harkonnenesque manner. As revenge for this insult Helen Mohiam used her internal abilties as Reverend Mother to manipulate a particular toxin to infect the Baron during intercourse. This disease then caused his physical downfall into obesity and pus-baggery. (leading to his donning of an Ixian suspensor belt) |

Dave.....
Sorry, I just found my way back to this stale topic after a busy few days. You said, in altogether properly submissive deference to your boss: | What Kil said is "censorship" just like not having a letter-to-the-editor printed in a newspaper is "censorship" (for which "justification" is never offered, so far as I know). |
No, only if the letter writer is banned, or threatened to be banned from ever expressing on that publication for stating an opinion that is not shared by the editor! Kil does not only "censor", he also implicatively threatens "banning" if his edicts are not followed. Arguably, this attitude is inalienable, because he is the owner of the site. This is certainly not surprising to me, although I have been an entrepeneur most of my life, I am quite aware of the perogatives of bosses, from both sides of the desk!
Kil's reasons for banning homoerotica, nudity, "offensive" images and other controversial material are certainly based on substantive concerns about losing viewership because of material perceived as offensive by some readers. It is remarkably unusual to see his liberal policy allowing free exposition of scatological terms and four-letter words alongside a near-Puritanical stance on issues of sexuality and images of "dirty" body parts. It is my guess that Kil is a complex individual (as aren't we all?) and the reasoning is part business and part personal - hence my comment on "more than a little bit of a power trip going on here!" | Of course, what's amusing is your apparent assumption that Kil's reason for red-texting you is hypersensitivity to your rather bland homoeroticism, when what I (and apparently Ricky) see is a bunch of childish taunts. Looks like Dude isn't really rising to your bait (looks to me like he's bored of you, by the way), and H. is absent. |
Well, I am always happy when I can amuse, Dave, especially you who does not amuse easily. As to "taunts". absolutely! Childish, no; few children have the maturity to make any but a crude joke about homosexuality. But the "taunt" was intended to amuse Dude, who has a finely developed sense of humor - having told me more than once that he had to laugh at something I'd said at the same time that he was pretty pissed off at me!
Maybe it would behoove both of us to let Dude speak for himself; I have no doubt that he is more than capable of expressing his own opinions!
Now you state that: "your apparent assumption that Kil's reason for red-texting you is hypersensitivity to your rather bland homoeroticism, when what I (and apparently Ricky) see is a bunch of childish taunts." This is ambiguous. Do you mean that you and Ricky and Kil are bitching about a bunch of childish taunts; or that you and Ricky see childish taunts, whereas Kil is complaining about bland homoeroticism? It really does make a difference as to the rationale behind all the red ink! As to Hummer, he doesn't talk to me anymore, nor speak in my presence, so "baiting" him is like throwing out beefsteak to attract birds!

Ricky.....
| What I (and I believe Dave and Kil) see is you starting to go down that road. You were told to knock it off, but you weren't even given an official warning. |
I don't know about you and Kil, but the other Mighty Olympian - Dave - says:I think this is important. When examining a person who has been labeled based upon the presence of a collection of properties, it is of course valid to use that same label for anyone with even a minor analog of a single one of those properties.
Thus, everyone with an opinion of the law is a Senator. Everyone who has touched trash is a garbageman. Everyone who has used a Band-Aid is a paramedic. And, of course, everyone who has changed the subject or verbally sparred is a troll. |

Real pity, that.| No, only if the letter writer is banned, or threatened to be banned from ever expressing on that publication for stating an opinion that is not shared by the editor! |
Which didn't happen here, either.| Kil's reasons for banning homoerotica... |
Didn't happen. Looks like you just prefer to not address the stated reasons, and instead made up this stuff. Happens all the time to people in your position.| As to "taunts". absolutely! Childish, no; few children have the maturity to make any but a crude joke about homosexuality. |
But you made nothing more than crude jokes about homosexuality.| Maybe it would behoove both of us to let Dude speak for himself; I have no doubt that he is more than capable of expressing his own opinions! |
I have no doubt of such, either.| This is ambiguous. Do you mean that you and Ricky and Kil are bitching about a bunch of childish taunts; or that you and Ricky see childish taunts, whereas Kil is complaining about bland homoeroticism? |
I don't see anyplace that Kil has complained about homoeroticism at all. Why would I suggest that Kil is complaining about something he hasn't complained about?| It really does make a difference as to the rationale behind all the red ink! |
Indeed.
You also wrote:| Can there be dissension in the Ranks of the Ruling Class? |
Nope, just a regular SFN member who has missed the sarcasm. |

Ricky.....
In order for me to behave in a more circumspect manner in the future, I would appreciate your clearing up a little confusion in my understanding of the logistics of SFN| bngbuck, maybe I can make it clear. No one (who has posted in this topic yet) is offended by your homoeroticism. Please get that through your head. |
Yassuh, boss!| you're damn right we would resolve the situation, most likely with warnings and possibly suspensions. |
Jesus! No!| What I (and Dave and Kil) see is you starting to go down that road. |
The Road to Hell!! | You have to do a lot to offend us. However, when all you're doing is trying to offend us, that is when you'll get the boot. |
Duly noted!
I deeply regret offending your majesty, as I was unaware that you were part of the ownership/management of SFN. I would appreciate your confirming that status, so that in the future I can avoid any untoward comments that might ruffle your royal feathers.

Well, as some of you fail to comprehend, Dude isn't "taunt-able". Dude only engages in arguments that are interesting or may prove to be amusing (or when Dude just wants to cuss some retard out).
bng has come to a point where he doesn't even need to be provoked before he slides off into crazy-land... I didn't participate because, well, who the hell would participate in that particular conversation? Not me.
And yes, bng, I do think you are funny! You crack me up man.

Dude is a very model of a modern major liberal, whose wisdom is exceeded only by his irresistable sexiness. When he remembers his medications, the guy is a stand-up gladiator - worthy of facing the best of opponents. Of course he isn't tauntable, he's 127.0.0.1 personified - an untauntable tautology! I'm with ya, man, all the way; and I'll do my damndest to find a topic worth engaging me on! I gotta agree, this Ricky, Dave and Kil dust-up wasn't worth the sand in Kil's sandbox! | bng has come to a point where he doesn't even need to be provoked before he slides off into crazy-land... |
Yeah, the voices are getting pretty disturbing and when the shrink starts you on Lexapro with a shot of Chivas chaser, you know reality is retreating. I'm really glad you didn't show up in that last waltz, you and Ricky dukeing it out would not be a pretty sight! There would have been blood! Young blood!| And yes, bng, I do think you are funny! You crack me up man. |
Actually, one man's boredom is another man's entertainment! Evidently I put Kil to sleep, inspire ridicule in Dave, and amuse you! Go figure! Anyway, you're a clever contestant and a lot of fun to throw sand at and get it back in the face!
