The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.

Re: Anyone who knows the tale of goliath and the giant?

careful TU, you can be blocked for using the term, forum nazi. also, when did they leave? Gwynedd has always been a bigot.

Re: Anyone who knows the tale of goliath and the giant?

Gwynedd, fmods are there to keep it in check and fun for all.

What you're doing is the opposite. Think before you mod: is this *really really* necessary to edit? Stop what you're doing.

ZoZ,

Yeah you tell it to that power mad forum mod!

I can live with Nolio and even WFS, but Gwynedd is just an ahole. And I wouldn't be so harsh unless I strongly felt this way.

i would do one less; i would say look at a post, and say is it disruptive to the forum. if its disruptive to people communicating in the forums, if it discourages debate that a thread is encouraging, its ok to edit it. right now the most disruptive thing to the forums is over-moderation.  a moderators job isnt to follow the rules to a T; if you've ever had a decent job in your life, you would know how bad it is to follow rules to a T. the mods are to allow the forums to do what they were meant to do, to be a place for players to socialize with each other. mods arent here to dictate what behavior they think is appropriate or acceptable. they're here to allow us to socialize, get rid of the disruptive content keeping us from socializing, and leave us alone.

Re: Anyone who knows the tale of goliath and the giant?

Oh, you mean like ranting about fmodding in a forum? You people seriously need a beating.  Quit the game if you can't stand being called on your bad language.  is your mother a crack whore and your father a drill sergeant?* anybody who doesn't know what pussy is, better not get any, so they don't breed and contaminate the rest of the human race.

*or a crack sergeant and a drill whore, or your mother a sergeant and your father a whore, or any combination thereof.**

**including two mothers both being Air Force staff sergeants involved in a lesbian crack tryst.

Yell, the point is that the word in the way it was used is as offensive as you wearing a panama hat.

Re: Anyone who knows the tale of goliath and the giant?

trolling my ass, when someone says "or what?" they're just asking for a ludicrous remark like my previous post. and it wasnt an insult, it was a request; you mods really need to learn basic english when you're being so picky.

Re: Anyone who knows the tale of goliath and the giant?

Right, I see it's time to add my two cents..

First of all, I agree with what ZoZ said: "fmods are there to keep it in check and fun for all.", I also agree that the word "pussy" shouldn't have been edited, in all contexts of the word.
However, I do see that certain inviduals deliberatly annoy certain fmods to provoke discussions if this kind and that should stop as well. You can always contact us in #forum, or even make a special thread about it (preferably in Community), but derailing threads doesn't do anyone good.
Insulting an fmod and then complain he's derailing a thread when he replies/defends himself, is just juvenile..

ZoZ's statement applies to the fmods as well. They too need to be ensured of the fun. tongue

God: Behold ye angels, I have created the ass.. Throughout the ages to come men and women shall grab hold of these and shout my name...

Re: Anyone who knows the tale of goliath and the giant?

"btw, Fedora's > panama hats"

depends on the hat.  I would like an adventurebilt Indy fedora because all I see around here are those clubhopper Sinatra short brim fedoras.  However that is $400 and in southern california it would be necessary 3 months out of the year and probably too hat for 4 months out of the year. 

This panama hat is a genuine handwoven cuenca fino Optimo that I had woven a little wider and taller than standard. now that i'm working a day job with a tie i finally dress up to justify wearing a $150 hat and I will do so this summer.  Someday I will go to Europe in my panama hat, and red soled saddle shoes, and a white seersucker suit (probably hafta get that custom tailored to have a madras lining because I will NOT have a polyester lining in a seersucker suit, wrinkles are the whole damn POINT of a seersucker suit)  and I will stroll through elegant gardens stocked with koi ponds, looking quite the swell.  Persons of the European persuasion will stop and point and murmur as I strut by.  Finally one of them will approach me--timidly at first, and then with greater boldness.  "Excuse me sir" he will say, " this garden is closed to the public."  Such are the adventures possible to a man with a panama hat.
