Thank you for the explanation. [:)]

warspite1, Do yourself a favor-lower your blood pressure by 'green buttoning' those forumites that are perennial problems. It's helped me enjoy my forum time that much more when I am here. Cheers.

It's helped me enjoy my forum time that much more when I am here. Cheers. warspite1 CB I don't use the Green Button - never have. It's a personal choice of course, but to me it does not seem right. You cannot just airbrush people out in real life so seems wrong in a virtual environment. I have been on this forum for about six years. I've had run-ins with a few people - but that's part of life (we can't get on with everyone) and these have been mostly worked through over time, no harm done. Healthy debate is sometimes a good thing! But sadly, sometimes in life though you come across someone who you are never going to jive with. It happens, its unfortunate but...... So thanks for the well meaning advice, but I will continue on without the green button - and just watch my BP [:)].

No, you want room 12A, next door. M: Oh...Sorry... A: Not at all! A: (under his breath) stupid git. The man goes into room 12A. Another man is sitting behind a desk. Man: Is this the right room for an argument? Other Man:(pause) I've told you once. Man: No you haven't! Other Man: Yes I have. M: When? O: Just now. M: No you didn't! O: Yes I did! M: You didn't! O: I did! M: You didn't! O: I'm telling you, I did! M: You didn't! O: (breaking into the developing argument) Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes. O: Just the five minutes. Thank you. Anyway, I did. M: You most certainly did not!

If you're arguing, I must have paid. O: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.

The whole cast is wonderful, not least Miranda Richardson as Queenie. Blackadders III (Georgian) and IV (WWI) are also very good (the last episode of IV is a bit of a tear-jerker). Blackadder I (War of the Roses) is pre Ben Elton and I've never seen any of them so can't comment.

I prefer season four and one. Edit: Melchett: Field Marshal Haig has formulated a brilliant new tactical plan to ensure final victory in the field. Blackadder: Ah. Would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemy? Captain Darling: How could you possibly know that, Blackadder? It's classified information! Blackadder: It's the same plan that we used last time and the seventeen times before that. Melchett: Exactly! And that is what is so brilliant about it! It will catch the watchful Hun totally off guard! Doing precisely what we've done eighteen times before is exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time! There is, however, one small problem. Blackadder: That everyone always gets slaughtered in the first ten seconds. Melchett: That's right. And Field Marshal Haig is worried this may be depressing the men a tad. So he's looking for a way to cheer them up

I'll leave you with one of my favourite scenes: Sir Walter: Oh yes? And who will be your captain? Hmph! To my mind, there is only one seafarer with few enough marbles to attempt that journey. Edmund: Ah yes, and who is that? Sir Walter: Why, Rum, of course. Captain Redbeard Rum. Edmund: Well done. Just testing. And where would I find him on a Tuesday? Sir Walter: Well, if I remember his habits, he's usually up the Old Sea Dog. Edmund: Ah yes, and where is the Old Sea Dog? Sir Walter: Well, on Tuesdays he's normally in bed with the Captain.

Boomer78 -> RE: Double Standards (3/4/2014 2:04:49 AM)
I'd like to add to this thread, and to clarify more specifically why I refrain from discussions here now in the GD. I don't refrain from conversations because I don't like you guys, or even because someone disagreed with me. I refrain because no one is really allowed to disagree. The entire GD atmosphere is oppressive and offensive to open and free flowing chats. But like Warspite said, it is a double standard, even if it isn't an intentional one. This is after all a chat forum based mainly on wargames, and what can possibly be more political than wars? I've seen numerous debates about things like the atomic weapons program, Japan's goals in SE Asia, tactics and goals of the Huns, issues surrounding the American civil war, tons of discussions on all things martial... AND political. But when it comes to gun control, abortion, taxes, or climate change, it's a big no-no. Now why is it ok to discuss dropping atomic bombs on people, but not ok to discuss the effects of recycling or the causes and effects of socialized medicine? Without saying as much, the admins have declared that the reason is because... well, because they say because. And that's why I left. Not because I agree or disagree on anything in particular, but because they reserve the right (and use it) to tell us what is and isn't ok to talk about with VERY strict guidelines. To me that's not a healthy environment for any kind of dialogue or mutual admiration society. To have to preface any kind of topical discussion with apologizes and formal declarations of intent is a bit much for me. There's no reason why a forum can't have healthy anarchy, even in a restricted 'adult' forum where such conversations could take place. Instead the rules are hard and fast and arbitrary as they can possibly be. Again, it is their rules and it is their forum. There's no need to point that out to me. I just see that this is a continuing issue despite efforts to solve the problem. I've found over the years that censorship often causes more problems than it solves. This thread and the ever changing standards of practice are proof that the birds need to flap their wings as well as their jaws once in a while. What was it that Julius Caesar once said, 'better to let a man have his say and walk away satisfied then to try and silence him and create whispered conspiracies.' But I'm not even petitioning for a private adult forum any more. I know that this has been off the table for a long time now, and has been rejected every time it's brought up. I just came back to add my 2 cents because I had a feeling that this is not a resolved issue, nor will it remain a resolved issue so long as members here are seeing their posts deleted, locked, and censored. It creates isolation and frustration and takes concourse off at the knees. There's no way to really become friends with someone as long as an attorney is standing over them waving an NDA contract. And with that I'm following Elvis out the buildin'. Something about not letting a door hit me in my posterior region...

Because War in the Pacific covers dropping atomic bombs on people, but none of the games in the Matrix catalog deal with recycling centers and free healthcare. Maybe if Matrix distributed the Democracy series of games you'd have more of a leg to stand on.

IMO there are to many Indians and not enough chiefs, what is needed on here are community moderators, long term users that can keep an eye on things and step in when needed. The amount of times I have seen a good discussion thread locked is beyond a joke, a community moderator can see if a thread has become personal and deal with it accordingly or let it ride if it is just a discussion.
