No, not even close to all, but this also shows you how accommodating the Administration is here. It's never one thing that gets someone dropped into the crocodile filled moat, it's a pattern of being an asshole.

As for the voluble and voluminous WHO screed, I suspect it got jettisoned when the platform change was made.

It's important to teach our kids not to be assholes. It's also important to teach them to not have a victim mentality, be quickly offended and rush to look for protection.

Not to be disagreeable with the mods/admin, but this site has been very civil. I'm on here practically everyday and seldom if ever see anything worth reporting, in my honest opinion. But hey, they're the boss and I just hang out here.
And the preacher said, 'AMEN!'

This meme reminds me of this one idiot I knew (not comparing you to him, just reminded me of him). He would spend hours arguing the dumbest things on Facebook and then for a while he used this meme every time he had to admit he lost an argument and then make fun of the other person for being so into arguing on Facebook. That guy who I knew in real life too and can confirm is a massive idiot with zero self awareness is the person I coined the phrase stupid with a caveat the caveat being that there is no hyperbole in the stories about him. For example the time he argued you're a moron if you believe that certain laws have any effect on anyone's behavior at all, and he hates those laws because they have a clear effect his behavior. The caveat is I really couldn't explain to him that he just called himself an idiot.
That said I am a huge fan of moderation. Without moderation you end up with a Facebook situation where people like the guy I mentioned dominate the conversation. And all discussions start becoming a screaming match where the biggest jerks ruin it for everyone except for their tiny little egos. Not having moderation actually does the opposite of allowing more to be said. It just limits what's said to the most extreme and abusive voices. I think my favorite example of this... Was also on Facebook. I have a friend that has a Portuguese water dog you know the ones that look like they have dread locks. I was asking people for advice about issues the dog was having, some random guy flooded the post with hate for Obama because he has the same kind of dog. Of course after trying to talk to the guy about how he can have whatever opinion he wants about who ever he wants I am trying to ask a semi serious question that has nothing to do with him. Of course asking the person to go somewhere else with that was a violation of his freedom of speech (you know because apparently I am the Federal Government. So long story short I think actually doing real moderation is part of what keeps things civil and from devolving into a stupid useless mess. And if you don't have enough places to share your opinions or insult people you barely know, then there is something wrong and maybe fix that first. You know considering there are more places then not that have miserable and useless moderation.

Christ, Bob. Paragraphs, sentence structure.

I AM REPORTING YOU! nnnn

I hope I did not insult anyone as I have a bad habit of letting my lack of a filter get me in trouble. My idea of humor can be much different than other peoples so I apologize if it was me who was insulting. I never purposely insult anyone it is just my nature to be a major league ball buster. Please call me out on it as I am sure I deserved it. I really try my best at not insulting anyone, but I know there are times when I fail miserably. I am originally from Boston and having a filter is not something that we practice on that much. We can be real ball busters but we don't know it if we are not called on it. At least we are better at it than a NYer.

It might be relevant to the thread, but there was a member here who was just 'off' in a tinfoil hat kind of way.

He posted the largest block of text I have ever seen, with no paragraphs or intermissions, deriding the WHO, the government, and everyone in between for crimes against tobacco.

His posts were off the scale, and I remember particularly him implying that Jay, @mawnansmiff was an agent of the BBC.

Honestly it was something to behold and I hope to never see again here.

@sablebrush52 tells other anticdotes of an earlier ugly time.

There is a reason there are mods here, and there is a reason we have report buttons.

Hmmmm.... wondering if I should use the report button to report the report button. ?

You know, if they'd let a former Marine Demoman design the forum report function, we could enjoy this up-graded feature:

Yes! Report. Censor, and cancel culture. No more winners and no more losers, just rainbows, and butterflies.
That's not what's going on though, is it?
In my original post I said something about mods being grown ups. What I meant was that they'll know it if you report something only because you're being hypersensitive.
Most of us never report anything.
Only two or three times have I considered reporting a post. They were all by the same person and that person is gone now it seems, at least I haven't noticed him lately, and he used to be quite the poster, so apparently he crossed not only my line, but forum lines.
I'm guessing now.
The thing is, some people are assholes. Or crazy. They bring destruction to civil discussions.
There aren't many of them here, and it would be nice if we kept it that way.
