Free speech means that I have a right to express or spew thoughts and words of preference, love, hate, or anything with which another may disagree. That said, the rules or policies of this forum, which is my private property (see this forum's Mission Statement), are that members can exercise free speech as long as they (1) do not make a specific threat against an identifiable person or target, (2) earnestly debate or discuss the relevant issues that are part and parcel of this forum's reason-to-be. First, I should clarify that Rule #1 includes fellow posters. As you all know, I have a very liberal and tolerant free speech policy here. There is no rule against ad hominems or profanity. However, I have noticed of late a marked increase of both to the point where it's become most unsavory and is setting a tone that, I feel, is beneath us as reasonable and mature adults. Other than the two specified rules to which I expect adherance, no one's speech is constrained, so I'm requesting that you please employ self restraint. You know who you are. ;)

farm... You better go looking for a halo. I just dug mine out of the closet. I see Christine with a beeg club with a spike in it.
then there will be chrissy restraint. :)
I'm sorry. I have a tendency to get a little ticked off and use words I shouldnt when posting on certain JBT topics. So, if I am one of those mentioned, I apologize. If I'm not, I'll still try to do better. This is too good a site to let it go downhill.
Click for Privacy and Preparedness files I left mine on a bedpost somewhere. What's the cost of a replacement?
Agreed.
Now now, no worries, don't despair. It's all a question of semantics. For example, while it is not appropriate to say to any particular annoying dipwad on this forum something like "I am going to take you and feed you feet first into a wood-chipping machine, then take your pulverized remains and feed them to wild pigs, then pee on the pig droppings" you CAN say "Gosh, it would be a darn shame if some deranged psychopath were to take you and feed you feet first into a wood-chipping machine, then take your pulverized remains and feed them to wild pigs, then pee on the pig droppings. Would just break my heart." See how that works? Just a question of how you phrase it, that's all. Easy as pie. *Whistles innocently* *looks around wide-eyed* *wonders if anyone buys it...*
Oh man. Well there goes my next post out the window. *sighs*

I tend to get ticked off and use profanity when discussing the inhumane actions of Israel. I will try to be good in the future.

I'm new here, thanks for the education. My alter ego, Itisa1mosttoolate, thanks you too.
#21. To: Cynicom, christine (#2)
Methinks some of the more egregious malefactors have little to no interest in America or its people. If they can keep the more passionate of us riled up, discussion and insight is lost. F4 is a sort of a microcosm in this regard.
This Country and its people are in great distress, which should be of our paramount interest, not this endless internecine battling among ourselves.

I checked with management, we are still allowed to punch, pummel, prod, prick, paste, pound,pulverize,prune and pulp Turtle anytime he shows up here.

Personally, I'm not opposed to any language, so long as it is used dynamically and within reasonable constraints. Occasionally, a "BAC" appears, needing verbal nuking; but that seems to be a rare event. Add Goldi, but she's on the other side of the cosmos. Hmmm, I'd nearly forgotten Goldi. A good sign, I guess. But, Chris, when you ask anyone to tone it down, it's got to be way out of hand, thus I trust your judgment. I think that stand would easily pass the forum consensus.

LOL love your use of the word microencephalic! Profanity is never required to eviscerate the commentary of a drooling, slack jawed, perfidous, malignant, malefactorious, microencephalic, duplicitous, squirrel brained, lizard breathed, slimewad, of a no good back shooting yellow dog having miniscule intellect and discernment with morals that would make a Harlot blush.

#31. To: farmfriend (#24)
Thanks. I've always preferred it over the more plebeian "pinhead" as being a trifle more cutting. Of course the distinction is often lost on pinheads, after all they are pinheads. However, I can't help thinking I left out an adjective or two. :-)

Turtle laughs at you and your pitiful little army, which is what it would take to defeat Turtle, and even then you still couldn't do it, anyway.

How's Michael doing these days? I heard or read somewhere that he had to sell Neverland. Sounds like you were a regular visitor there. ahaha.

Well, if I actually were buh-weet I might say Otay but since that is just one of your hallucinogenic fantasies brought on by inordinate and copious use of illicit 'shrooms (or something), I will just point and laugh.

By the way those cheap Bell Hop pants you bot for cynicon, Jeff and me split, and, well, cynicon got the wait staff excited from the night before and lets just say you can deduct a couple of hours off from Thursdays time sheet. Turtle Island is looking to be a pretty good place.
