    2. Misc-TNZ and Politics:

    Misc is NOT TNZ. Discussion is to be civil in here.

    Civil means just that. It means NO INSULTING.

    The Sarah Palin thread is a perfect example of why I did not want politics in Misc. Because what happened was that while some actually discussed the politics and why they liked/disliked Palin (and it could just as well been Hillary, Obama, Bush, take your pick) too many turned it into insults.

    THAT IS NOT WHAT WILL FLY IN MISC!!

    Acceptable: I don't like Sarah Palin because she was a hypocrite." (giving the reason why you feel she was hypocrite.) OR "I don't like Obama because he is not keeping his promise" (again giving a reason.)

    NOT ACCEPTABLE:

    - Palin is a jackass.
    - Obama is a jackass

    Neither are discussion. Both are insults. This is not the place for insults. If you need to attack a politician personally (not the politics or what he/she has done, but a personal attack,) that is NOT for Misc. That type of discussion may occur in TNZ.

    If you want politics in here, this is how it will be. The mods will warn you if you get personal like you have been with political stuff.

    You MAY still post political stuff. You may not post things which are insulting a person, not their policy and you may not say sexist or racist things.

    Interesting. Comments like that would earn you an IP ban at Home Shop Machinist or CNCzone.

    No problem with mods warning for that stuff. When I read them I thought that the bar had gotten really low since I last posted in misc..

    I thought, "Isn't this the kind of crap that got 'hot button' topics banned from Misc in the first place?"

    People must have very short-term memories.

    Those are all disgusting. I couldn't blame anyone for being offended by those posts.

    That works both ways.

    It's died down a lot recently, but there has been some extremely sexist bullshit directed towards men on this board. Much of it even enshrined in this board's rules.

    I am not defending the comments you've highlighted, they're disgusting.

    So, sure, don't say sexist things is a good rule, but lose the "like this" part.

    Wow, I'm shocked after reading some of those examples. There were many reasons I haven't posted that much in MISC, but that wasn't one of them. I was thinking about coming back to try to post here in this forum more but with examples like that, I'm almost afraid to, and I'm a guy.

    Indeed. That stuff is the reason I do not subscribe to TNZ. Seeing it here was very sickening indeed, especially with how many people piled on. :(

    Honestly some of this is worse than what is usually posted in TNZ.

    Not now anyway. I didn't miss it, but the simple fact that they were even quoted just made me wonder.

    I had someone say it to me a while ago in Guild wars.
    I do so hate PvP.

    But yeah, it was 'well used' enough for me to have to ask and then google it. No, haven't seen it yet......I still have a list of movies to watch when the kids are asleep (which seems to be never).

    Hoser, watching the dawn but not 'Red Dawn'.

    Question. Can i still hit on the guys? ;)

    Seriously though, i would like to just laugh it off as guys being guys and all that jazz but that Palin thread certainly not only crossed the line, but threw up on it.

    Heh, when I'm offended, that's pretty bad.

    ;)
