Rich knows the score? Is that why he tucked in his tail and abdicated his authority?andy said:You all know so MUCH, go bs with each OTHER, ignoramuses.
Yeah, I did go away for a while. Then the TARD became even more outrageous, and I decided to give him a few slaps. I have been discussing some legal slaps at him with someone he knows in Durango, Colorado.Rich Z said:Hey Bill, I thought you said you were leaving this site?
So what was it about my decision to cease moderation on this site that prompted you to come on back?

'Course teh willingly blind couldn't see how civil the posts got on the stretches he wasn't here. . .
Magnum88C said:Rich Z said:Hey Bill, I thought you said you were leaving this site?Actually I saw the exact opposite. Andy was actually getting better at toning down his posts, and the rest of the Gunkid Goon Squad just got worse trying to egg him on with taunts. I specifically used SOFT DELETES in place of actual deletes so the record of this activity would be here for anyone who wishes to research it. Sorry, you guys are far more transparent to the objective viewer then you realize.Yeah, the pet troll said the same thing.

Sure I read it. But YOU weren't asked to set the standards in this community, are not involved with any such standards on MY site, and certainly will never be in a position to enforce any such standards here.Stillwater said:Rich:
I notice you fail to comment on the term "Contemporary Community Standards," did you fail to see it?
I don't think his position is that it's ok for andy to do something and not the other folks (whoever is in your "crew" or whatever that means). I think that his position is that people were deriding andy for basically being a dick and he thinks that it's ironic that the crew is being a dick right back to andy... and maybe Rich inferred that the crew is being a dick back to him. He's not telling anyone to stop that I saw, just letting the verbal food fight continue unabated.Stillwater said:You have set the TARD'S conduct up as a "contemporary community standard," and then you self-rightously complain about the majority of the people reacting to that standard.

In this case, contemporary standards is this community, as exhibited on this forum. This forum is a sociological microcosm, thus the derived term of contemporary Community Standards. Is my point quiet clear?krept said:sorry, I'm going to attention whore for a second and post that post one more time

I'm also not sure what the term "contemporary community standard" refers to, sound kinda like legalease. I think when it comes down to it, however, although anyone can register I believe that this forum is indeed considered private.
If you're talking about the general notion of a community standard in the sense that we expect people to at least behave themselves according to a certain minimum code of conduct... even if there is NO code of conduct and the standard is garbage, there is no reason why we can't choose to rise above it.
No reason at all, whatsoever. Or am I wrong? Didn't mean to answer for Rich, it's just stuff that seems as plain as daylight to me.
cheers
As Nutty John says, he gives everybody the benefit of the doubt, meaning the chance to be victimized equally.andy said:I always give guys the benefit of the doubt, until they PROVE themselves to be ignorant, lying insulting pos's. Then they get what they have COMING from me.Guys wanna give ME crap, and then get ALL insulted when I hand it back, 10x over. Well tough stuff, punks.
Go ahead, make my day. You may want to read your past posts on this site and consider how they will look in front of a jury, however. BTW, I have taken the liberty to remove your ability to edit past posts, just in case.Stillwater said:A discerning person might get the idea that I was laying the ground work for a legal assault upon the forum and it's owner.

sheesh! this knucklehead doesnt have a clue. 'legal assault'? that sounds like a threat to me. hollow threat but still a threat. hey bozo, do you even have a clue how much a federal lawsuit will cost you?? you got that much money to throw around just to be laughed out of court?? even if you could find an ambulance chaser to take your case?? do us all a favor record the phone conversation with your lawyer. you could probably sell it for some big bucks!! hell i would pay for a copy myself just for the belly laughs it would make for me.Stillwater said:In this case, contemporary standards is this community, as exhibited on this forum.

Rich has set the forum standard (the "tone of the forum" if you will) by allowing the TARD to post as he pleases, since he abdicated his roll as forum leader.
Rich's two tiered form post standard, one standard for the TARD, and another more limited standard for everybody else, is disgusting, but it does set a community standard, allowing everybody else to act and react as the tard does.
However I should point out that nobody has acted as egregiously as the TARD has. Nobody has used the "C" word to discribe a nice person as RIKA, as the TARD has.
Rich has set himself up as an effete social snob, by letting the TARD post his venom, and trying to make everybody like it. Ol' Richie can't have it both ways, but he trys.
Rich's self imposed leader/moderator exile will get to him soon and then I guess myself, and my "Cronies," (LOL) will have to leave. Once the TARD has him in that position, the ArmsLocker will, unfortunately, be no more.
