Bitcoin Forum

I mean I can also call anyone a black monkey and go away with it.

According to loyceV “If you can be offended by someone online, it means you’re doing something wrong”.

Don’t forget that this is a forum and everyone should be able to give his or her own opinion without being censored. And once the content of user get removed because of their choice of words then that would defeat the whole idea of “freedom of speech”.

However someone can just use number to replace the word to make it visible e.g. bl4ck m0nk3y.

How about if the admin filter some keywords(foul words), such that when you use them, you will be handed ban. Such as 7days ban, few days signature ban, read only mode etc. This will promote peaceful co-existence and curtail to the barest minimum any form of bullying, unfriendliness, acrimony or as the case may be.

I searched some old threads and even recent and found alot of trolls. Sometimes the trolling goes extreme. I have read where a big user of this forum was called a pedophile and he was so much wounded that he threatened to involve authorities.
I mean I can also call anyone a black monkey and go away with it. So many people are hurted by what happens online while a few are strong enough to take any bullet. This is the reason some newbies complain that here is not friendly. Actually there are bullies in this forum amidst the kind ones.

Ensure you are not misquoting LoyceV because the above statement seems ambiguous. If I'm offended by someone online, it means I am doing something wrong by being offended by someone or I did something wrong to attract an attack on me?

What is your understanding of freedom of speech? Do you know that there is an unofficial rule that says "No trolling?". If freedom of speech is what you think it is, why will such a rule apply?

However, trolling isn't allowed. If a user is habitually posting obviously false nonsense ("obviously false nonsense" to an outsider, NOT to someone who follows or is involved in the discussion) just to stir up trouble, then it's considered trolling, which is prohibited. Such cases should be thoroughly documented in the report though (There are tons of reports that just say "trolling", but moderators don't have time to look through each user's post).

Just recently, I saw several posts saying: "I hope I'm not offending anyone", and it's been on my mind for a while now.

I only recently realized why this is so common in English. In Dutch, "offended" and "insulted" are the same word ("beledigd"). But lately, it seems like people treat the word "offending" as if it's "insulting".
I'd say insulting isn't needed and makes you look bad, but being offended is a choice of the receiver, and honestly I'm offended by people who want to limit their own freedom of speech out of fear that someone might get his feelings hurt on the internet! Oh noes!

It's okay to offended people! Offensive jokes are often funny. Don't let SJW decide what you're allowed to say or even think!

Trying to be nice doesn't hurt you, but don't let someone's made up feelings stop you from speaking your mind.

I am insulted by the very fact that you think you can have freedom of speech without being allowed to insult someone. So by your own definition you're not allowed to say that!
Luckily for you, you actually have the right to say pretty much anything you want on this forum. And as a Thick-Skinned Gang Leader (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5226757.0), I can handle anything you throw at me.

It's the internet, I couldn't care less about your race. You can claim to be a Smurf if you want too. It can't be checked anyway, so why do you even care?
I think I'm usually pretty friendly, and I usually don't try very hard to insult people. But I can understand why others do that, and I highly value their right to do so. If someone, especially in an anonymous environment, treats others badly, it tells you a lot about them. But how you handle it says a lot about you.

No. It's what makes this forum great and unique! If you don't like it, you may want to go to a heavily censored SJW forum where your fragile feelings are protected. Bitcoin is about freedom, and you can't have freedom to say what you want without other people having the same freedom to say what they want. Grow a thicker skin or choose to have a fragile ego hurt.
I'm pretty sure there are already texts that you don't like embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain. It's okay. You don't have to read it. Why would you even bother to read things on a website if it insults you?

So many people are hurted by what happens online while a few are strong enough to take any bullet. This is the reason some newbies complain that here is not friendly.

According to loyceV “If you can be offended by someone online, it means you’re doing something wrong”.

I actually don’t see any need why the forum should start censoring post just because they included a curse word in it, if you don’t like the way an user responded to your post the best thing you can do is to ignore them and forget something ever happened rather than to start engaging in a heated argument with both of you insulting yourself, after all you don’t know them and they don’t know you, so don’t let anyone’s words get to your head.

Don’t forget that this is a forum and everyone should be able to give his or her own opinion without being censored. And once the content of user get removed because of their choice of words then that would defeat the whole idea of “freedom of speech”.

Actually there are bullies in this forum amidst the kind ones.

According to loyceV "If you can be offended by someone online, it means you're doing something wrong" .

Now, if we talk about abusive language, then use of foul language is not encouraged here; instead, it is banned here, and the best way to report such pist is to report it to moderators, as, in my opinion, censor filtration tool integration is not going to help.

I'm afraid I have to disagree!
People might have a different point of view or argument on a matter. You will find another group of people who do not respect your opinion and then start insulting you. The problem is, when you get bullied because of your opinion, you want to say something back, and it ends with exchanging some hit words, and then sometimes it goes to the extreme level when one person calls another a pedophile. For this reason, I believe you can get offended without even doing anything wrong.

I'd like to see the opposite: turn all the "carefully selected words" back into their true meaning. It should be called "The TMAN Filter" :D

You're missing the point: if you choose to give someone the power to hurt you through your screen, you're doing something wrong. If someone calls me a pedophile, he's an idiot. It's that simple.

It's easy to get hurt on the internet forum where we don't know each other.

No one actually has freedom of speech because at some point you have to follow the rules of the platform that you are using to convey your message. For example, if you make some advertising, a CTA message, or a post in a Bitcoin discussion, that topic will be moved to service discussions, which means you have no control. Another example is if you make a post with some faulty or wrong information and try to lead people the wrong way, you will be tagged as neutral or maybe removed if you are found guilty of plagiarism. We all know that by following the simple rules, we can live forever here until we die, but if we don't follow the rules, we can't survive here.

I'm offended by your suggestion. Now you deserve a 7 day ban :P

You should spend 2.5 minutes to listen to this guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceS_jkKjIgo): the only proper response to someone who says: "I'm offended!" is: "I don't care!".

You would want me to banned if I told you “can your dick reach your ass?, then go fuck your self”

Basically go fuck yourself.

I  know the protracted drama you're referring to, and there was a lot more to it than just that accusation, and in fact if it was only that the pedophile accusation got slung I don't think the target member would have reacted the same way.

I think I am offended by the way you posted on my thread.

I listed, although it is comic but it taught alot of lessons and it's aboit reality.

For me, the best way to increase society's resistance to insulting or offensive speech is to allow a lot more of it. As with childhood diseases, you can better resist those germs to which you have been exposed. We need to build our immunity to taking offence, so that we can deal with the issues that perfectly justified criticism can raise. Our priority should be to deal with the message, not the messenger.

I now understand that using these words is so nice and natural to many ;D Look how you arranged these words in a very f*cked way. I now see why many people don't want to be censored. People catch fun doing this, and I only pity the weak ones behind the screen.

One has to bow and exit the forum.

Here's another 9 minutes worth of your time: Rowan Atkinson on free speech (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUezfuy8Qpc).

Freedom of speech can only be in danger if the consequences of the speech is abolished

If free speech is as important as he described, it needs not be toyed with.

If I want to reply to someone's post and call them a fucking idiot, that is my right. You have the right to ignore me or scroll past my reply. Let's not be part of the cancel culture here. It's not that complicated and we don't need snowflakes trying to change something that doesn't need changed.

One of the good qualities of this community is freedom of speech. People are allowed to say their views without any form of intimidation. Firstly, since we are from different locations and cultures, what you think is an insult might not be the case in another country. I have read that insults are not against the forum rules, members are allowed to speak freely. Insults or foul language are not promoted in the forum but one needs to learn how to ignore and endure the insults. Controlling the language on the forum will affect the freedom of speech which might discourage people from engaging in discussions. I have identified some members that I wouldn't engage in any discussion with them because I don't like their approach. Maybe some other members might have put me on ignore because my expression might have offended them. The beauty of freedom of speech is that everybody has a level playing ground that is void of censorship.

I actually have decide to do a complete 180 on my dislike of signatures and of mixer’s in particular because you wrote this thread up.

Will it be correct to say that my post made you start wearing signature? If yes, that's an honour to me and I will put it in my text space. Waiting for your confirmation  8)

Yes . I was supporting talk-img out of pocket because I believe the forum needs a good image service.

Your thread pushed me into the fuck it I will do a new signature and raise funds for talk img.

btw I sent  you merits.

After imgur failed the forum, I saw the need for a good image hosting service and talk-img has filled the gap excellently.

;D This is great. You are such a philanthropist. But the fucking decision you made will be a relief to the burden of philantropism and still set you aside as a distinguished member of this forum.

Yes, I recieved with joy and it has aided my journey to snr member. I appreciate you.

It would be sad to see this place turn into Facebook, which starts censoring everything.
