Thanks for backing me up. I too thought him implying that I should be the one to fight the dog was too much.

For fuck's sake: you should be banned for illiteracy, kid--and providing false information in your inane "USA is NO.1" thread (sorry, the Beatles are from Liverpool, England, not Seattle :rolleyes: ). Unfortunately, the former doesn't seem to be a ban-able offense around here, and the latter might be though it's seldom enforced.

You obviously didn't do your homework before insulting Cosmic, even after he took the unusual measure of introducing the real person behind his screen name and showing us his photograph.

This dog is already in the Guinness Book of Records.

You have been banned for one day for violating the rule against insulting another member.

Cosmic, please accept this apology on behalf of SciForums.

I accept that but it wasn't needed for I just let things like that slide off my back. :)

I think you're the one who should be banned, Sir. Not only for cursing without good reason but also for being plain rude. I personally think this forum would be better off without all the fighting.

And sheer astonishment at one's ignorance and (seeming) illiteracy is not a good reason for "cursing"?

Checked your profile and noticed that you are from the "Bible Belt"--why am I not surprised? While you busy yourself with keeping your "manners" in check, the rest of us may marvel at the fact that "fuck" is perhaps one of the most versatile words in the English language. It can be used as a noun, a verb, etc.; it's meanings are numerous--I can name at least a dozen off the top of my head, though there are many more; and it can be used in a variety of contexts to convey any number of emotive or temperamental states.

And now you're making assumptions about me based on where I live. This is really embarrassing for you. You might not realize this, but some of the things you said could make you a laughing stock at an intelligent forum like this one.
I'd really stop if I were you.

No, I am making assumptions about you based upon where you live and your posting history. Nothing embarrassing about that.

1. The OP image.

2. I don't know what you mean by "unusual measure" could you please clarify what you mean, thanks.

3. While I understand the reason behind his ban I can't prevent Fraggle from doing what he thinks is the right thing to do. Every moderator here tries to do the best they can to keep an semblance of order and this ban was a way of dealing with a problem.
 
Is it just me, or does anyone else get the impression that, uh, several posters within this thread are experiencing some serious difficulties in reading comprehension?

I think they might be dumbfounded by the size of the dog. :rolleyes:

No, I do not. But I think Fraggle made an honest mistake. Although his actions were perhaps a bit rash. I have posted this in the mod forum as well.

In Fraggle's defense, considering his taking of disciplinary action in a subforum not his own, I am not online a whole lot lately so it's only natural that other moderators will step in every once in a while when they think it's necessary.
 
Nobody mentioned yet, but large dogs have a shortened lifespan. I doubt this dog will live longer than 7 years....
 
Insulting another member?
Rubbish!

@Parmalee
Yes. Reading comprehension.
When Cosmic posted his picture of a man sitting on a sofa with his dog,
he began his post with
We certainly never dreamed he would one day become the biggest dog in the world..........

Most people reading this would think. "Mmmh....... Cosmic is posting something about a man with a big dog. Typical Cosmic Post."
Not Fraggle.
This is Fraggle's reasoning:

Fraggle: (thinking )
If Cosmic was posting a quote, he would have put quotation marks around the sentence.
He hasn't. Therefore the dog is Cosmic's dog.
Cosmic owns the biggest dog in the world. He sits with Cosmic on his sofa.
That Kremmen is insulting Cosmic.
Worse, he is insulting Cosmic's dog.

This is what Fraggle meant when he said that Cosmic had taken
"the unusual step of introducing the real name behind his screen name, and posting a picture of himself."


Fraggle. Listen to me.
That isn't Cosmic. It's a PICTURE FROM A NEWSPAPER!


@Cosmic
When Fraggle issued his extravagant apology on behalf of the whole of sciforums, did you not notice that you hadn't been insulted at all.
Did that thought not occur to you?


@Gustav.
Thanks for your support.
I can see why you get frustrated at times.
When you are banned, you have no means of defending yourself.
It's a kangaroo court without even the semblance of a trial.

@Fraggle.
Fraggle you are a clever man, no doubt, but sometimes you can't understand things which wouldn't puzzle a seven year old.

Yes, but I told someone that it didn't bother me at all and I let things like that slide off my back. I never complained and only stated that you didn't offend me.
