It's been great here but I must move on.

[pussum]

Con dos cojones!! NLS I will truely miss you my friend. I also really respect the fact that you have values and morals that you live by. I do not plan to leave this site all together, however I can say that my communication will be limited, because that is what they want. To limit our communication...i mean that is what censorship does. However, I respect that. It´s thier choice. But man, leaving the site.....I think that is too much. If you do decide to permanently go, I wish you the best my friend.

*kindphriend*

"limit our communication"? Ok, how is it that they are limiting our communication? Can you not use one of the thousands of other words in the english language as a replacement for one? Your point still gets across wether you say F you or screw you. I guess it just doesn't make sense to me how you can think of this as, oh no, "BIG BROTHER" coming down on you.

Obviously you have your own views and opinions, but come on. Get used to it man because no matter where you go or how old you get there will always be someone or something telling you what you can and can not say and do. These are called laws, like them or not, they are to be followed. Wether you are "free" or not doesn't mean a damn thing. It is both funny and sad to see that you actually think you have the "freedom" to say what you want when you want as you please. I suggest you stop being such a drama queen and just deal with it and stick around. Try to take a stand against something that actually holds some weight.

You are a good guy and we need more people like you around here. Don't leave or something as trivial as this.

 

[BushyKush420]

cuz of swearing... lol yea i think its dumb too..

we are all adults here, and you should be able to handle the cussing.. but dont.. or cant ignore em either...

you act as if there are lil kids that come on this site and might see this language and start to use it. but you all know thats BULL... and no one should have to leave due to this crapola... :bugger: <----- and why is this on here if you cant swear..

 

[Stoney Bud]

I do feel that it is a typical form of Americanization.

Interesting that you think that. The owner of the site isn't American and he sets the rules, not any Americans.

 

[Stoney Bud]

Just to get some perspective on this silly issue, currently, there are 5,832 members here.

About 5 are upset about not being able to use foul language.

 

[BushyKush420]

Im not upset about not being able to use foul language, just think its kinda dumb and the rules are set for lil kids.. but neways yes he makes the rules and if they dont wanna abide by the rules then whateve leave then.. :joint:

 

[Insane]

Why is it dumb that we, as adults, should be expected to conduct ourselves in a civil, polite manner?

 

[BushyKush420]

yea sure thats why..

 

[Brouli]

theyorker u my Idol man ahahahhahahahah that was good what you wrote you got my crackin up . Hick dont be mad we all got right to personal opinion about you guys.


NLS sorry to lose you Peace out .

BUt why you people on here make such a big deal out of that rule ??
about taking your freedom and other BS if you dont like the rules which are set by MarPassion (whoever he is ) then leave its very simple, this isn't only forum about MJ some people got problems with Moderators i did too i got spikes with Hick and others, but they are here just to keep eye on whats going on and give they opinion ,advice and so on . and i agree that some of them realy abusing power ( ) and acting like little punks but hey everybody got bad day . ( they just got more then anubody else ).


NLS once again sorry to lose you buddy but i hope you will find more confortable place for you , mayby start your own forum ?? you never know

 

[Insane]

Brouli, I have to say I completely disagree with pretty much everything you just posted.

Abusing power? The admins here have a tough job, and they volunteer for it. They make decisions based on the information at hand and their best judgement. Abusing power? Hardly. Acting like little punks? That is exactly what the admins are here to prevent!

What are you talking about???

BTW theyorker was banned because he gave Hick no other choice, if you read the post that caused him to be banned. theyorker has no one to blame for being banned but himself. You have no one to blame for theyorker being banned except for the theyorker. He brought it all upon himself, Hick gave him every chance to repent and instead he threatened to make more flaming posts which is simply unacceptable.

I say again: Why is it dumb that we, as adults, should be expected to conduct ourselves in a civil, polite manner?

 

[GrewUp To ScrewUp]

what is a yorker though? a pepperment paddy urging you to taste the sensation? The concept of york i just cant grasp. You must have been the most yorkiest of yorkers around though. Your dream was yorkification man i can tell

"limit our communication"? Ok, how is it that they are limiting our communication? Can you not use one of the thousands of other words in the english language as a replacement for one? Your point still gets across wether you say F you or screw you. I guess it just doesn't make sense to me how you can think of this as, oh no, "BIG BROTHER" coming down on you.

I dont think he brought big brother into this. Your counterpoint to him was to in general and generic. if you can replace f you with screw you whats wrong with "wtf"? its not like anyone has ever said "dubya tee eff" in conversation when shocked. Its not like anyone would pay much mind to wtf. If you said it people would be more puzzled then shocked.

Interesting that you think that. The owner of the site isn't American and he sets the rules, not any Americans.

what is the leader by the way?

About 5 are upset about not being able to use foul language.

30-45 people at a time may be active. It would be nice to get a real concensus on the issues by as many members as possible by a set date.

-Why is it dumb that we, as adults, should be expected to conduct ourselves in a civil, polite manner?

what is so dumb is the fact you think it will change anyones mind. Polite talk want help the cause..

You have no one to blame for theyorker being banned except for the theyorker.

there you go again. he asked to be ban so why are you preaching to him? why do you have to pile on people?
[/QUOTE]If you cant beg him to stay without belittleing him why even beseech..?

I am envious of your culture...but in my opinion, it is up to us to prove to the rest of the world that we are intelligient, and courteous herbal users....not a bunch of wild rebellious potheads

It has to do with the Leo Complex. Everyone here is seen as Leo from that '70s show. I don't think there is much that can ever be proven to the opposition. They arnt gonna budge on this. They might, MIGHT make it legal for the terminally ill, but thats as far as it goes. You have to be dieing, in agony to get them to relent. It's gonna take more then tea party talk to change minds. You want to talk about intelligience and class get rid of all the bong and 420 references. You think adding 420 to everything makes for a mature image? :
I'm probally gonna take alot of heat here. im probally not welcome in this thread.

I wanna say Northernlights you seemed like a cool guy when I met you. I can't help but respect you for sticking to your guns even if you stand alone. They might call it stubborn, I call it principal. I hope you come back some day.

 

[LaserKittensGoPewPew]

It's simply awesome how utterly lame this has become. The simplest request to watch your language has sparked these rediculous claims of censorship and not being able to express yourself and moderators abusing their power and on and on...Seriously guys, get a grip.

All that's being asked of you is to be mature adults and to keep this forum clean of profanity for an even more user-friendly site. This site is paid for by MarP and is HIS forum. He sets the rules as he sees best for HIS forum. We are all guests here. If you go over to someone else's house and are told not to curse are you going to ignore the owner's rules and curse anyways? I would hope not, but if you do, you get the boot. Simple as that. It's the same thing here. You've been kindly asked to obey the rules of MarPassion's forum. So obey them without complaining or leave without making a fuss. It seems to me that it takes a lot more energy to whine about this rule than to simply just obey it.

Think about how much more professional this forum looks compared to other places where people can only express themselves through cursing. These other forums I've been on look absolutely childish when compared to this one. When I read posts by people who curse a lot or "tok lioke dis n dat" I immediately think how unintelligent that person is. Not only that, I simply don't respect any advice that person offers because I simply don't think they know what they're talking about. Someone who composes themself professionally will definitely be paid attention to over someone who doesn't. Just because this is an Internet forum doesn't mean you can't behave professionally when asked to.


NLS, I'm sorry to see you go. You gave great help and advice to new guys like myself and many others when we had questions. Good luck wherever you end up.

 

[GrewUp To ScrewUp]

[ you go over to someone else's house and are told not to curse are you going to ignore the owner's rules and curse anyways? /QUOTE]what if you were the governor of the state his house was in?

and this whole debate over us to stop cussing. they telling us to to stop cussing reminds me of the episode were Lois gets left in her aunt's will that cherrywood resort and the griffins move in and Peter starts acting all proper at that auction were he bets too much.

 

[Insane]

I don't know why it's become such a huge debate. It's a very simple request for a very simple rule.

If we can completely get rid of cussing in these forums, then outsiders looking in will see us for what we are (most of us anyway): mature, responsible adults, who have careers and actually lead meaningful lives.

If we allow cussing we become like every other MJ forum on the net, which would make us look like a bunch of delinquent stoners who are going nowhere in life and have no better way to express themselves than by cussing every other word. Come on guys, use a little bit of common sense here. You might not like it, but look at the bigger picture here and stop being so selfish about it.

 

[BushyKush420]

BUt why you people on here make such a big deal out of that rule ?? - qoute

yea ok


heres my question to all of U..

why the F do u make a big deal out of making Weed legal? Answer- because its what the hell we want to do, and WE shouldnt be told by a govt (or you) what we can and cant do..

and YES this is now getting me ticked off.!! thats the big part of it... not really the fact that we cant swear but that ur trying to tell us what to do... and let me tell ya the same thing i told the govt when they tried telling me i need to stop smokin and get help..

**** IT - Quoted by Degeneration X


if its on tv and lil kids can hear that then why cant we say ****


that explaination or (question) better not get edited like it has b4 for stupidness

you guys must think that other words are swear words and must be different than our culture or sumthing...

REally how do you edit "****" like say ur gonna tell someone that the water pump will **** the water up in a few minutes..?? why the H would that be edited and if u can come up with a good reason than i might stay but i know u aint got shhheeet and I've seen plenty of fools that use a really inapproipiate word and they didnt get edited pry still that same way.. but i cant use a word that a vaccumm does...

dude this is always asked and only asked to me if there are kids around which i respect and would want the same for my kid but thats not the case and this is a website where lil kids shouldnt be or cant or dont even know how to get on here....

 

[LaserKittensGoPewPew]

The principle is the same. You do not have any ownership of this website. MarPassion pays for this forum. It is his. He decides what rules he wants to govern HIS forum. If he says no swearing in HIS forum, then there is to be no swearing. What part of that are you having difficulty with?

YOU must not have read an earlier post its not really the fact that we get edited, but for dumb stuff and we are being told to only do this and only do that..

and so should it be different if we did do the donation ider( since we all would be putting in our 2 cents.)or those (75%) i think that poll came too somewhere round that, does that mean we can make up the rules.. no didnt think so..

read carefully and then re read, then maybe again

BushyKush, if you are an adult, you should know that as an adult to be part of any kind of society you need to follow some very simple rules. If you can't follow those very simple rules, I will quote Stoney Bud on this one "Don't let the door hit your you know what on the way out."

Because I don't think you bothered to read my last post, I'll copy and paste it into this post, and this time I beg you, beseech you, implore you to please read the entire post and give it some serious thought before responding!!

If we can completely get rid of cussing in these forums, then outsiders looking in will see us for what we are (most of us anyway): mature, responsible adults, who have careers and actually lead meaningful lives.

[SmokinMom]

I have been following this debate for several days. And I am also one of those who easily can stop using foul language here. But to those of you who are angry I must say....

It's only while here at MP. How much time do you spend here anyways that you can't abide by that one simple request? You are free to go about your cursing anywhere else that you go. They aren't asking for you to never ever curse ever again in your daily lives and such. The big deal that some of you are making seems like you're being told you can never cuss ever again anywhere.

It's just here where you need to refrain for pete's sake!. <---- Look, a substitute for a possible bad word. LOL.
