QUOTE (Cummings @ Nov 5 2009, 12:12 PM)  QUOTE (hawkeye @ Nov 5 2009, 10:08 AM) Well, I don't think crudity is much of an excuse, personally :) But yeah, I do understand what you're saying, Cummings. For what it's worth, RTMs have not gone up - I think the vast majority know exactly what our intentions are on this. And yeah, big old +1 to the Macster. I think his crudeness is certainly not worthy of the hero tag, when we bestow it upon those beautiful and smart", so I think your decision there was pretty good. I still can't liken it to racism though, but that's not me and I don't represent everyone. Don't go changing now, make like it's no big deal, for it's your you-ness that we love the most. xx Atomic.

Gee, guess what, Twinny - I'm not Ben.
Know what else? I'm not the one who banned him, either, but I don't see you romanticising that move. I am, however, the guy who gave Logic a second chance. Funny, that. -------------------- aka David Hollingworth, Editor, AtomicMPC

Probably got something to do with people spending their time here arguing. Ay? :P Not to sound cliche, but Atomic really is whatever you make it. Rob.

Everything changes. And IMO that's a good thing- a place that doesn't change to meet its memberbase is soon doomed to being obsolete.

Too much of the vocal userbase is msyogynisitic, unthinking, uncaring, and thoughtless. And I don't mean anybody in this thread, so far. Much like a democracy, or any other tyranny of the masses, a set or rules and laws is required, to govern the masses based on rational decree. I've seen a bit too much slip in that regard, either from a failure in RTM (I very rarely do it. Maybe I should more) or a lack of inclination in the moderatorship to curtial some behaviour types. |

Well, I'd argue it's probably a relatively small number who are those things, we just notice them more because of their nature. It's the way of the world. But by and large I agree with what you're saying. I'm actually supportive of what the *ods are doing at the moment, I think it's something long overdue and it's good to see some moves being made. -------------------- All I have is one last chance

I think that if we're banning hate speech, we should also ban racist, culturist, sexist and other jokes along those lines.

The average rounds expended per kill with the M16 in Vietnam was 50,000. Snipers averaged 1.3 rounds. The cost difference was $2300 v. 27 cents. Certa Cito |
