Do you want more or less freedom?

[Timelord2067]

I voted "I'm hurt, ban LoyceV", but I think I'd like to change my vote to "Ban sarcasm, I don't get it"

*edit*

OK, now I'd like to change my vote option ten... or was it eleven??  IDK

My request stands:

Re: Do you want more or less freedom?

Loyce, please add a poll option demanding a ban of people who, being accused of being cunts, reply with famous fine-art paintings of cunts.  Thanks.

—Notwithstanding:

Link is NOT “NSFW”,
unless your workplace prohibits you from viewing the websites of museums.

Freedom? I haven't seen any user complaining of not having freedom here,

Dont worry there are some Users or just say it there is one User with his Alts that have no freedom !
Its CH if you dont know him , but anyway sry 4 the off topic .
I must say its fine as it is now and for sure as many others have written you cant make it right to everybody.

I'm not adding more options to a running poll, that would give inaccurate results.

The amount of time I have spent on this forum, I found that it is like itself a decentralized forum in which no one really controls or there is a dictator or something. I feel free to express my thoughts without having a fear that a ban or warning will come just because my opinions differ from someone else. Hopefully this will continue to be the same as I really like being here and it is like my second home and you all are like my family.

Epic #FAIL:  Start a topic titled, “Do you want more or less freedom?”—and then enforce the

Not Safe For Wife

standard, when you are evidently married to this:




Personal irony:  I almost married the lady who first introduced me to Courbet.  She was classy, a stunner in an evening dress.  We spent hours day and night discussing poetry, ballet,^* and classical music; and she was a living enclopaedia of art history.

She herself had posed nude for her own figure-drawing class at university, when she was an undergrad.  And she didn’t have a problem with Courbet.

Yes, I have some regrets.  She would have been optimal for the production of heirs.

* This was largely about her:

IRL, I have been criticized for my gauche ignorance of ballet and ballroom dancing.

Ordinarily, as a gentleman, I would not speak ill of a man’s wife in an Internet argument.  But if you want to hide behind her, and she is a classless harridan who disrespects fine art, then she is fair game.

You're still missing the point, that's an existing rule. If you want to fight it, feel free to open a topic but I don't think the Bitcointalk Administration is going to allow you to posts hairy cunts on the forum without warning.

Lol, good luck with that

I already opened my topic—as a question, for I am aghast at the proposition that my posts violated forum rules.  And I am not the only one; I have received private comments supporting me on the issue, from people whom I would not expect or ask to stick their necks out over it as I am.

hilarious’ answer was the only official one thus far, and was equivocal.

If it is confirmed unequivocally (directly, or via high-level staff) that the forum’s administration prohibits the deleted posts, then I will retitle the topic from a question to a declaration.  And yes, I will argue the case!  Harder than you think.  This is important to me.  theymos is a libertarian (which I am not), so he will probably understand in his own way why I don’t just shrug it off.

Let’s make a deal:  You stand up for your own opinion, without suggesting that I must comply with your wife’s sensibilities per a “Not Safe For Wife” rule ; and I will not mention her again in this context.  I did not like doing that.  It is terribly rude.  The politics of personal attacks on men’s wives (and otherwise family) is a despicable trend that started in the 1930s–50s.  Very modern.  I detest it.

Agreed?

This poll is not going to get anything close to accurate results as it is. Bitcointalk polls are already not accurate because of the ease of sockpuppet voting, and the options are really not serious. I also personally often vote for poll options that are ludicrous specifically for the above reasons.

Freedom? I haven't seen any user complaining of not having freedom here, every forum is guided by a common rules to follow, so definitely, failure to abide with it gets you not having freedom.

You can't have been round here long or haven't paid much attention in Meta. People cry about muh freedom of speech after they've had their ref link removed or their general shitposting.

In your fantasy, I bet. I almost married the girl who introduced me to Limp Bizkit, Jaegerbombs and anal sex. She was an unclassy stunner in some pink velour sweatpants with 'juicy' printed on the arse. We spent hours, day and night, discussing fine literature like 50 Shades of Grey, pole dancing and classic nu metal. She was the living encyclopaedia of the Kardashians and the fine works of Banksy. She even posed nude for PlayBoy's Amateur Sluts of the month section and came in 23rd place that year!   Where's the barf emoji? You sound like one of those unsufferables who pretends to like things they think posh people do just to sound cultured, cos posh people just love classical music, fine wines and entry level 19th-century French painters.

Did she post the images to an unrelated internet message board?

Do polls ever?

(This one did!  I am trying to guess which option you—oh, how foolish of me!  Poll options updated.)

That is conduct unbecoming of a global moderator, especially one who appears to be acting in that rôle as to the subject at hand.

It also shows very poor judgment to make grand pronouncements about the personal lives of total strangers on the Internet, on the basis of nothing but an apparent grudge as of which I was unaware.  Jumping to conclusions, from personal dislike:  Do you exercise the same judgment in your usages of the trust and moderation systems?

(Incidentally, in an unfinished draft of my reply to cryptohunter and sirazimuth in the “nullius is a c—” thread, I address the point that every intelligent person over the age of thirty knows that an Internet persona conveys only limited information...)

In your fantasy, I bet.

Your “bet” is only safe, because you know that I will not dox myself and spill personal details for the purpose of challenging you to a real bet, and then taking your money.

—On second thought, are you trying to bait me to expose myself for the grand prize of Winning An Internet Argument?  You are certainly trying to provoke me.

For the record (i.e., for any n00bs reading this), hilarious’ meme pic casts me in a false light:  I have never claimed to hail from the upper classes, or to be rich.  To the contrary, I am quite poor.  And whatever my complicated background may be, it is none of your business:  I rest on the merits of whatever knowledge and culture I may express.
