Cry me a river bud, it was a joke, get over it

So Sorry, I don't find hate-spurring words to be funny, or anywhere near a joke, I suppose our vision of a joke is quite different\

See I could do some "those steroids must be effecting your judgment" jokes but I'll take the high road, Again, poor taste, understand?

First off cuz I dont take steroids, I work out twice a day 7 days a week. No need for steroids or lypo or any other kind of surgery, you know what I mean? I laughed at a joke someone elso made and you went and personally attacked me, I didnt say anything like "Hahaha your a Flamer or Fags Suck Ass" now did I? Not at all, but you went ahead and attacked me. Why ? I dunno maybe Cher cancelled her upcoming tour and you are throwing a tantrum or whatever but next time choose you words carefully before you make incorrect assumptions.

I'm not attacking you, nor was I implying you took steroids, I was showing you how offensive something of that nature is, and certainly not funny, just like finding a hate-motivated word like faggot is NOT funny, that is all

That is like laughing at someone using the N*gger word, it's simply NOT correct or funny :thumbup:

Agreed, that solves the problem of the tasteless posts by a couple of offensive jerks, but it only solves it for those that use the ignore feature. It doesn't solve the broader problem of the entire board being dragged down. We can't 'fix' the internet, I realize that. What we can do is work to protect the small corner of it that a lot of us spend time in, by pointing out (in a polite way) when we see posts that are not contributing but rather harming the community. Yes, I realize that is a judgement, so I will add an "IMHO" to that line.

The maturity of some of these posts smacks of 12 year olds. I don't choose to hang out with 12 year olds. I think it is a shame that the maturity target is established by those who represent the lowest common denominator.

The moderators can decide how they will handle it, that is their role. This thread, and others like it, are simply a few votes for active moderation.

Soccerjunky have some common decency that is all I am.

Well said...Bigotry and hate have no place here. This will be my last response to this thread as I don't want to get dragged into something which has the potential to spin out of control.

Just a little quote for you from your favourite movie. I didn't think it was that good a movie, but those quotes from De Niro's character may have more impact than a simple "Let's try to clean it up a little", which was the originally posted sentiment.

SoccerJunkie: Scottie is right. This is not a porn site. Nor is X5World a place for you to post most of the pictures you post. Refrain from posting pictures that are of adult nature.

We try hard no to censor. It is clear, however, that your intent is not exercising your freedom of speech, but rather to instigate and provoke. If you cannot control your desire to post adult material, we will ensure you cannot post anything on this site. I cannot make this any clearer.

Ryan: chill, man. It was a joke. A tasteless joke, but a joke nonetheless.
