Alright, own up. What did you guys do!?

[Veroe]

No. How the fuck would that be the case?

Weaver is assuming FM sent Minx an unsolicited PM soliciting an unsolicited PM sent from her to FM.

Got all of that, LI.

Yes, its silly, it's ludicrous even, so don't get bent out of shape about it LI, goes for you too Weaver.

I hadn't actually joined all those dots together
And I was only having a tiny bit of fun, certainly wasn't bent out at it. This whole thread is fun, or at least it should be.

I just hate when people fight over shit that doesn't even matter.

Well ... I wasn't sure we were fighting. Light doesn't like me and likes to say so, which he's more than allowed to do. Doesn't really bother me one way or another.

That aside, I agree totally. Any sort of fight within a thread is pointless. People are rarely ever swayed by another's arguments and usually it only detracts from the original intent of the thread.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

So...what you guys seem to be saying is 'Make love, not war'?

I wouldn't say he doesn't like you. He just rarely agrees with you. I guess that doesn't help much does it?

As for fighting once you get past your second or third post in an argument, all you're doing is retrenching on you original posts' logic. The only progress you make is in harrowing raids nitpicking your opponent's responses which only escalate the conflict. So you get a war of stalemate and attrition like WWI.
Any way its like you said it only derails the original thrust of the thread's point.

Reason it may have come down

Hi FM
I haven't read all the posts in this thread yet, so this may be mentioned already. I do recall someone else posting two PMs that included the original author names. I didn't recognize that as against the rules per se.

Anyhow, that may be the problem.

Too bad, cuz I sure do get some doozies.

I am glad to dip my toes in the forums.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

I hope so .....

Why, SoulWeaver, are you flirting with me?

Plus, once you get to a certain point in an argument, you just need to preemptively assert Godwin's Law before someone makes a ridiculously over the top comparison. These things do tend to escalate if they continue.

At any rate, I hate that I'm still officially on vacation when interesting stuff like this flares up. I spent nights watching the Lounge to see if there's an interesting topic popping up, and almost as soon as I'm out of contact for a few days, this thing balloons up. What's interesting to me here is that there's males who I suspect have never sent an unsolicited "fuckard" PM who are defending the rights of other males to do so. The original thread was never meant to be a Woman's Rights subject to begin with, clearly, so where's the problem in laughing at humorously horrible attempts at beginning a conversation? I see stupid shit all the time, and I enjoy laughing at it, and when I can, sharing it so others might also laugh. That's exactly what this is.

 

[SoulWeaver]

Why yes, isn't that better than making war?

Aww don't worry Noon, I'm sure this thread has plenty of life in it yet, wherever the discussion digress to.

BANG!

That's what this place needs. More people like you mizzmaree. I've noticed these peeps who "run this town" (or think they do) don't like to weed the garden. Muthafuckers gettin LAZY.

Welcome.

I see you girlfriend

 

[fuckmeat]

Is it still an unsolicited pm if you solicit one from the sender?

nods emphatically

Wouldn't that make it mutually unsolicited? Awesome

No. How the fuck would that be the case?

This whole thread is fun, or at least it should be.

Ba...



... wait for it...

I'm not sure I agree with you. I actually don't think we see enough healthy debate here in the Lounge, so people over-react and get personally offended when it happens. I try not to take stuff too personally around here and most of the time I succeed. But it would be a dull fucking forum indeed if we all sat around agreeing with one another.

One of the best things about Lit as a community is that we can all offer insight on topics from our own perspective. Sometimes seeing the flipside of a coin is all a poster really needs to get to the heart of an issue.

So for me, debate is not a four letter word. But there seems to be a fine line in people's minds between debate and trolling. LI has been accused of trolling my thread. He debated sure, but he's no jake2.0. People need to keep their objectivity and perspective rather than seeing any difference of opinion as a personal insult or evangelical one-twoo-wayism.

Dammit.

I have really been hoping that that didn't happen.

If it was just one person though, it would make more sense for a mod to edit that post and point out the infraction, rather than for the whole thread to be deleted. I know that is what happens in the Asshat thread I linked in post one. There's no other way it would have been going this long.

Agree totally in principle. Where I've seen this go wrong though, is where someone proposes a theory and when others don't immediately subscribe to their wisdom, then it goes from friendly debate to veiled insults. Theres a bunch of really smart people here, and many with interesting viewpoints and things to say. We'd all be a lot richer from listening, considering and commenting, rather than biting and spitting.

It's interesting you say that. Up the pub we agree to disagree all the time. But there's a respect under it all. People here do not respect one another. They don't even introduce themselves. They're just cunty straight off the bat.

Why the fuck should I have to tell adults how to behave? I'm 29 for fucks sake, I'm still a BABY

But I like you FM

Perfectly put.

( I've not been posting basically because I can't cope with anything that resembles an argument, so I've remained quiet, but totally observant.)


And yes, I agree FM, Light Ice isn't a troll. Not in the slightest. He's maybe too honest and says it as it is, but a troll that does not make him.

( Out again to lurk. Have a nice Saturday)

Go and wash that brown tongue of yours. You're making me sick honestly and yes, I will spew over all of your shit woman.

Definitely is, and much more fun for me too!

Wait, hold on there. Light Ice and I don't see eye to eye. But its not right to attack Alana like that, he is not around to defend himself, and clearly you8r anger is aimed at him, but don't take it out on others that stick up for him, thats really not called for.

I'm not aiming at him at all. These fucken women make me sick. I'm a lesbian and I loooove women. Dumb fucks like her need to be called out.

You agree with stupid, you ARE STUPID

See now you make me want to hug you..To love you more..Comb your hair, and stroke your bitter brow..Poor angry little lesbian.
Let me lick you with my brown tongue, but make sure your belly's full so you can puck all over my shit...Cause honey I'M NOT CHANGING.

You're 29..Learn to fucking deal with it.

29 doesn't make you a baby, your posts however make you come across as exceedingly immature.

How is sticking up for a friend dumb? I take it then you would never stand up for a friend or someone you care about...?
Don't worry about answering, I'm not holding my breath, believe me.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you sure seem to want others to know yours...fair enough, insult away, you won't win many friends round here but go for it if it makes you happy.
