Bluesape Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 From the Saturation Point thread: BTW, I'm startin' to see the dreaded F-word again! Using it, or even quoting someone else's use of it is a clear breach of the expected etiquette here. Trust me: I WILL delete your posts by the dozen if it continues. You know who you are - some of the most consistently contentious people here. Knock it off! FINAL WARNING! Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never!

Bluesape Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 I love it too, but I've been asked to enforce civility here, and some members go out of their way to push the envelope.

miroslav Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 ...some members go out of their way to push the envelope. I think you're letting your imagination get away from you a bit... If it slips out once in a blue moon...that's not what I would call "go out of their way to push the envelope". Sorry...every once in awhile I forget that when I step into this forum I'm leaving the real world...and here certain words have to be "camouflaged" with special symbols so as not to offend...ahhh...mmm...well, I'm not sure who exactly? Though I still find it comical that this: *$(!*$ some how hides the meaning...which it really doesn't. But yeahI'll try and remember the special symbols.... miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Griffinator Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 [so as not to offend...ahhh...mmm...well, I'm not sure who exactly? MP, just like any other corporate site, has a desire to keep profanity to a minimum. "Keeping it PG-13" for the kids, is the basic premise. (edit) You should be glad they don't just install a censor tool. You have any idea what a PITA it is to give someone a pass, or talk about the Kennedy Assasination, or the plumage of the male peacock, or delineate your favorite recipe for shitake mushrooms, when there's an auto-censor in place?

miroslav Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Not to turn this into a dead horse... I fully understand that there needs to be a certain level of civility here. And anyone that is repeatedly violating it with lots of abusive, profane language intended to attack and offend other individuals here...should be kicked out. I may debate issues REAL HARDbut you would be hard pressed to find me deliberately being abusive and vulgar toward members. But you know...even in the most civil environments...even at the corporate level...these days, the occasional use of "descriptive adjectives" is not all that uncommon or frowned upon...and often it is the context that will define the level of "violation". I just really get a chuckle when I see a bunch of special characters in someones sentence. :grin: It's just seems so naïve and bogus. Like when you see a nude image of someone on the front page of one of those supermarket check-outline rags and the publisher placed those small black bars across the forbidden parts of the human anatomy. But yeahI try to play along around herethough once in awhile in the heat of the momentwell, you know. miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Bluesape Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 I shouldn't have to repeat over and over again that kids frequent here, and are encouraged to do so. People don't "slip up" with obscenities when consequences exist in the "real" world, and they should think before they type. Typing 4 characters takes a lot more focused effort than blurting out a poorly chosen syllable in spasm of Tourrette's-like confusion, so yeah, it's deliberately offensive. Never a DUH! moment!

Please remember that this is a family site and is therefore viewed by people of all ages. It's also important to note that folks who are logging in from their places of work, may wind up having pages that contain profanities, blocked. Therefore it is in everyones best interest to avoid it. all chucks children are out there playing his licks *Bob Seger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A String Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Miro. It doesn't matter if it's silly, if there aren't that many kids here, if you can still tell what the word is etc. The fact is, it's not allowed here. Some forums get around it by putting a filter in place, that edits your posts when you swear. Here, it has to be done manually. That's a royal pain. So, we ask that you try to use some control and please refrain from swearing. Not that big a deal.

miroslav Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Don...ask me if Id give $.02 for what you think. I guess you must not find my posts THAT annoying and boring...since you obviously read all of them. Also...for someone who's managed to churn out close to 5000 posts in less than a year...I think you pontificate and blow a lot more hot air around here than I do. You're just still sour over that little disagreement we had about vintage guitars a few threads back...and I can see this was a golden opportunity for you to finally feel brave enough toss out a little dig. Why...? I've left you alone, and not bothered to stir up anything with you since our last disagreement...but obviously, you still have something stuck in your craw. My advice to you is to let sleeping dogs lie. And that irony of it allis how you posted that thread on the right way to handle disagreements!!! :grin: Yeahwhy dont you practice what you preach. miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

mdrs Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 No, actually, I just think that you are a trouble maker. IMO you add very little in the way of positive imput. Yet, often seem to be at the center of "problems". It's plainly obvious. And, I don't hold your past comments against you. LOL...Curiously, your opinion about vintage guitars seems not to have had much of an effect on the vintage guitar market. But, profanity here is clearly against the rules. Why bother to make a ruckus about that?? You just like the attention. Kind of a passive aggressive thing, seems to me. So, it does becomes boring and annoying. I know some have blocked you. I've felt that not to be necessary. But, I'm wondering if my position holds water. Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

miroslav Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 IMO you add very little in the way of positive imput. Sorry...maybe I was wrong...maybe you DON'T read all my posts. Or maybe you do...and it's just that the audio/music topics being covered are not your forte...? I have no need to defend the quantity and/or quality of audio/music related posts that I made over the last 7 years on these forums. There are enough posts that demonstrate my knowledge and experience...and a substantial number of those posts are dedicated to helping out people with audio related questions/problems. I take the time to answer as many questions as anyone may haveI guess thats the kind of troublemaker I am. As far as your primary area of focus...well, I'd get into it a bit more with you over vintage guitars and amps, but first off...it's really not worth my serious time and effort... ...and second, I don't have a collection of vintage catalogs to reference like you do... Other than thatlike I said once beforeits just a matter of digging into your walletand youre a collector! And you know...you call me a troublemaker...but I recall you getting into it with some other folks not too long ago...so...should we also call YOU a troublemaker....or was it all their fault? Like I said, learn to let sleeping dogs lie. I havent bothered you over anything for awhile nowand I even tried a couple of times to engage you in a positive waybut you seem to be one of those grudge bearers. Maybe you should just join that little clique of post blockers since you know who they are.

mdrs Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 You seem to be living in some strange parallel universe. My post here had absolutely nothing to do with anything but your attack on the mods, who were atempting to keep our (or should I say your) verbage within the forum rules. You brought up all that other stuff. Maybe, it is you who should learn to let sleeping dogs lie??? I'll just say, that I'll let my posts speak for themselves.
