The matter isn't people have different tastes, it's some people's values suck and you have to strike with the quickness to create a proper war.

Solution: edit harassing posts or ban repeat offenders.

It was cool when Ty did it.

So this makes Windy the black guy and Greg is his lawyer?

Remind me again, how did the book end? Did he get the chair or did he get his freedom fries?

Remembering 9th grade english...

The black dude tried to escape the authorities and was shot&killed in the process.

So the trolls killed the black man in the end? This doesn't bode well for Windy.

Is this a blog post or an editorial? Oh, right, it says "Staff Blog" nm.

Please elaborate.

His blog entry is lengthy, well-written, and more thought out than I'd really expect to see in a blog medium. Obviously, since we're in the "Staff Blog" talkback section, the question is silly.

tl;dr

but I assume it was nonsense.

Don't fret. All it'll take is a few rants from me and all that wonderful integrity will go away.

THIS mockingbird can sing, and very shrilly, I assure you.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of Nintendo-like-polish is there? I read it as him, very dryly, taking the pee out of flame wars. I do roughly the same with racial differences on my site for the same effect.

(For the most part) posts following articles from staff members who regularly contribute to the forums are much more civil and meaningful than those which are not simply because the original poster sticks around to answer questions and lead the conversation.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that. I've actively responded to some of my talkbacks and silently read others. I'm a semi-regular on the board. It doesn't seem to change the amount of hate.

Your an exceptional case for other reasons. But you should know that

Yeah sveven is at the top of the list, which list? Don't ask.

Sorry, couldn't help my self, too easy.

Svevan · « **Reply #42 on:** May 29, 2008, 09:40:44 PM »

You can't add "that's what she said" to an already innuendo filled statement. PHAIL.

RABicle · « **Reply #43 on:** May 30, 2008, 12:33:04 AM »

I like how an entire blog entry had to be written about Mario taking the piss.

Is that British/Aussie slang for something?

I like how this refuses to go quietly into the night.

ok so what does it mean? I heard that same phrase in a movie once and in the context of the movie it made no sense.
