How adult is the adult section allowed to be?

What are the rules around that?

  • A reply to that post is not neccesary, except to point out that you mispelled "user" ;c)

  • I did address the nature of your post, if not the post itself.

    I had hoped you would see that.

    I've looked at Caelus's post and do not need to feel the need to comment, except that I feel sure he would not have made it if he hadn't just come off the back of a nasty little encounter with a forum member who (IMHO) comes across as is either incredibly thin skinned, or knows just how to push someone's buttons...

    I discounted the "virtue signalling idiot" option, as those are still quite rare on this forum, although growing in number, as everywhere else.

  • I would suggest that maybe the adult section is allowed to be too adult for whoever the OP (now Deleted user) to handle, or am I missing something?

  • Debbie, Go look at the whole thing as it unfolded.

    In light of what I actually said in my post (which you haven't addressed) take a look at Caelus's posts to   here and let us know if you think they are justfied:

  • I am not directing this at anyone in particular...

    Having read some of the recent comments in this discussion, I am inclined to think tempers are getting somewhat frayed. Although I have been a member here for long enough to know it can be par for the course, it saddens me when it happens.

    None of us is perfect, but when I perceive comments between members to turn into personal attacks due to a difference of opinion, it makes for less pleasant reading. Pensive

  • I'm sorry to say I largly agree with your assesment of how the situation unfolded. Maybe the solution is to lock these people together in a room with out any authority figgure to turn to so they can learn the wisdom of using their words to try and 'win' ... because the alternative is less fun. https://youtu.be/JFCgz959ARY

  • Debbie, Go look at the whole thing as it unfolded. 

    Caelus made a dark joke about cloroform and duct tape which people responded to in an adult and also humourous way, as is what used to be NORMAL behaviour of ND and NT alike. 

    We all knew where we were, even if you don't jibe with Caelus's idea of a joke, you knew that's all it was.

    THEN one of THOSE PEOPLE arrive, to call for an AUTHORITY to censure Caelus for his attempt at a humourous interjection.

    And Caelus kicks off, then you and others kick off and suddenly I've got another thread to unsubscribe from. 

    I personally like Caelus, even if I wince at some of his posting some days*. He hasn't been beaten down into silence yet and he's unafraid to state what every hetero white working male knows is the truth. 

    *Same applied to the author of this soon to be memory holed thread, although perhaps appreciate would be a more accurate word rather than "like" as he was of a similar "take no crap" attitude, and I hope he finds his people (or returns here) real soon. NO one should be shouted at and forced to live alone unless they are real predators who need to be excluded for the public good, and whilst there are a lot of those in the world they are still a small percentage of the overall people but they are much better at avoiding "shunning" than people like us.. 

    Indeed they usually are the instigators of shunning or persecution.. 

  • Great question. 

    This is all but impossible to answer because everyone perceives what's 'adult' differently. I do think the rules need to be much more specific otherwise someone with good intentions could inadvertently break them and get in trouble which wouldn't be particularly fair.

  • *** that part almost went over my head until i thought back on your accusations and realised that in your head you yourself came up with that.... *** your head took it there, you went that extra distance... *** but you went there... not me... think on it bro.. [edited by moderator]

  • In previous and still some other societies a more equilateral triangle was the norm and supported by society in general.

    The stable nuclear family was seen (correctly in my opinion) as the foundation of a society and was cherished and supported as such by most members of society.

    We now live in more "interesting times"... 

  • this then starts the tit fr tat forum war and i wont stop until you warn them. i will do what they did to me and twist their comments

    Well done Thumbsup

    I notice you have already started trolling on other threads.

    I hope this brings you much happiness Rolling eyes

  • nice so you ignored them taking a comment making it into something it wasnt and then causing trouble off it?

    fine then..... this then starts the tit fr tat forum war and i wont stop until you warn them. i will do what they did to me and twist their comments just the same until you realise it is bullying and harassment what they are doing. and its the same people chipping in with them all the time.

  • you will have soon if you carry on trying to take a comment and make it out to be what it wasnt just to cause trouble... that is called trolling, and people with brains can see it

  • What do you mean by "you have been warned?" I haven't received any warnings from the moderators during my time on this forum.

  • Reminder of Rule 7:

    This is a hate-free zone for autistic people, their families and friends, and professionals working in the field. We do not permit sexism, homophobia, racism, anti-Semitism, religious intolerance, transphobia, disability hate speech, hate speech, obscenities or pornography to be posted or linked to here. 

  • insert gif of superman "over your head" meme

    also insert dumb small brain wojack meme

  • can we not have users that try to stir stuff up and make things out of nothing when it wasnt that way and they know it wasnt. 

    we have been through this before... the mods dont tolerate trouble stirrers like you, they know you people come to these forums to intentionally wind people up and make something out of nothing, you have been warned.

  • @nas86731 please can we not have comments suggesting kidnap and sexual assault on our forum? Thank you.

  • First hand experience, eh,what?

  • dude will use whatever's ... at hand..

    s'pose.
