Wow this is getting really drawn out...

WHAT?! Seriously, that was completely retarded. If someone slaps a restraining order on you for saying "learn english", or "quit telling us you're bisexual" they will most likely be laughed out of court. Then again if the Mcdonalds coffee suit went through, who knows.
That was not my point and again you should have known what I mean (or am I giving you too much credit?) but for arguments sake you took it literally just to be able to respond with that.

Yeah, exactly we are joking. Get it through your head.
You are joking ? What if they say you are not joking? What if they Are offended? It seems they are to me. You dont get to say its just a joke if they dont take it that way.

DUR. My problem is you trying to trade my rights off to give another member the exact same rights you're trying to strip me of.
Everyone has equal rights and that sentence is poorly worded.

If changing who you are means not to make people want to leave zelaron and not to harass them then I am not asking you to, I am telling you to.

Shinto you were not even trying on that reply seriously. Geekster is the only one who really does that. I don't even know what else I can reply with because even you know that reply was not suitable. No one member should be more important then another anyway.

Just chill. If they PM us, and actually take the time to write it out good, I'm a decent guy, I can understand. But making a thread about it, to get attention, no.
From what I was under the impression of earlier from previous posts I did not at all get this feeling. Why does it have to be a PM, you cannot honestly tell me his posts do not tell you that he is probably offended because again I am giving you credit for at least that much?

Well, NGM, it's funny for awhile, but after seeing so many posts it starts tweaking my nerves. It's not just me either.

People are different in private than in public, Penguin. In private people take things more seriously. PM is the perfect medium to express to someone that you're going too far. I've settled a couple beefs here through PM, as well as other places.

At one point I despised Sovereign, but now I actually talk to him quite frequently. Same goes for Vollstrecker, though I don't talk to him near as much.

Ok well Geekster may not have known your policy of a PM to have it stop. But he has tried to tell you and everyone else through his replies; I know you have picked up on it because its obvious. Thats part of what sparked this for me anyway, I saw that in his replies and I was pretty sure you guys saw it too but were just ignoring it.

I hate to make this whole thing so... geekster specific because we keep going in and out of general statements and then specific ones to this case when this in fact does and will happen a lot more then just this incident with geekster and all of this applies to those times as well, not just this one.

THE FUCK?! That was supposed to be taken literally. You're saying I may be banned for making jokes, and equating that to the closest thing you could think of in real life.

I know when I'm joking, they don't. End of story. I already said this, if they are being offended and I know about it I will chill, but until then I reserve my right to freedom of speech. If they're saying "stop", that doesn't mean it's offending them, just that they don't like being made fun of. No one does, but if it's honestly bothering them, all they had to do was PM me, telling me it's actually offending them and I would have been doing it less frequently.


That sentence is worded perfectly. You're trying to take my right to say what's on my mind (jokes) so he can say what's on his mind.

No one is leaving Zelaron, quit trying to make this out to be more than it is. He's visiting less frequently because he's busy with his real life.

Time to be serious, for once.

I think it is very fun and entertaining to jokingly insult other members. If it is at their expense, they should just let it slide, in my opinion. However, when someone like Geekstar gets made fun of for having bad English when it isn't his first language, I do see where certain people should allow for some leeway. It is a little ridiculous to bash someone who is pleaing for you to stop. Kagom can take it, we all know that. I am sure he gets a little annoyed, but he's not gonna go kill himself. However, toying with individuals who are just sort of coming around on Zelaron isn't cool. As "Senior Members"... or just fucking decent people, we have the responsibility to care for the feelings of other people, as shitty and homosexual that sounds. Trust me, I am straight, I ate a 20 oz. steak for dinner.

In all honesty guys, just tone it down, being an asshole is fun, when it is creative. Saying "Oh my God this guy is a fucking IMBECILE" right in his eye, not very cool.

















....................shit where the fuck is my saracstic tag.















...............Just kidding, I am actually being serious.

When I reply to things like this, I give the poster a bit of credit. I think they have logic and know what goes on. Slim, I would honestly think and Hope you would at least get a HINT That he does Not like it and he wants you to stop meaning it Is offending him in some way. If you want to argue with me about this fine but I know I can give you credit for knowing at least that much. Just look at his replies. There is no reason for someone to keep up the insults, when they have already made their point. You said yourself you would cool down if you knew it was offending him, that at least shows you care a little. So from that I think this argument is more of the challenge authority, let me say what I want and that you might actually think the mocking of geekster can stop for a while if hes offended.

I've already said that if it's bothering him that much, a simple PM would lax the comments, the fact that he hasn't taken the innitiative to do it just (to me) says that it's not bothering him as much as you think it does. I may be wrong but that's just the way I'm seeing it.

*see above* but again like shinto at least your being more reasonable then before about this. This can now be just a simple misunderstanding or midjudgement as to whether he is offended or not. But from his replies in this thread and others and the main reason hes probably going to be posting less, camon, you know that hes at least offended a bit. Honestly, look at it, you know he is. A PM would just further what I and you should already suspect.

I have now been doing/watching this thread for... 2 hours....

The point I'm trying to make Penguin, is just chill out. You're acting like the nosey teacher that ticks people off for prying into matters that they have no business in (Admin or not, this is more personal than anything). Titus was ok about it, he basically said chill out. You're telling us "knock it off or I'll ban you", though putting it a bit more eloquently

I understand but it is my business if its affecting the forum. Titus didn't stop the comments if you check and I saw what Titus said and understand it. You are telling me to chill out and I am telling you guys to chill out. Everyone needs to chill out. I wouldn't of needed to chill out though if you guys would have chilled out first (titus post) -_-

Listen we have both argued our points and I am still trying to remain sorta neutral and look at it from both sides and we can both see that after all this we have got a lot out and posted. Can we just mutually agree that we just all need to chill out a bit and in the future try to think a little bit more before posting something?
