Legalize the C word!

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

Is that what I said Tiassa? I used it in one sentence addressing Varda's ideas about why she was warned. Did daddy James ask me not to use the word cunt? I said 'silly ole cunt' so what? Can you tell me what I meant by it? No.

Shit......Lucy aren't you getting tired and bored yet?:zzz:

Well they keep coming back don't they? Why are you here?:bugeye: Not enough threads out there for you?

 

[Varda]

wanker? git? :bugeye:

next your going to be telling me "ookie poo" and "tuc" are obscene? never heard of these made up words. . . :shrug:

eh. . . must be cultural. . . I think I remember hearing them in a funny foreign movie.

point is, I once had a linguistics teacher at uni once spent nearly a whole semester on Noam Chomsky, and see, the funny thing about language? It is only as powerful as the listener allows it to be. Those two "obscene" words? In North America are just pure gibberish. Hell, a cartoon character on a Saturday morning show could probably say them, and no one here would bat a lash. So?

I guess offensive words are not out of the mouths of the speaker. . . but only in the ears of the listener.

Exactly the point I was making in the cunt thread.

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

The weren't listening 'oh evil mistress of obscenity'.

 

[Varda]

No I didn't call varda a cunt and VI didn't call everyone a cunt. Go back and check the thread as you obviously payed no attention to it. We were not sticking our tongues out at anyone now don't be a silly git and go back and look at what was being said by whom and in what context considering the OP. Normally James would have just closed the thread not do a blanket banning. Remember the thread were there were porn links posted? He closed it he didn't ban anyone for it nor did he warn anyone but he DID say that we signed up to a site that said porn was not allowed to be posted. Do you want to know what the difference was? Nothing save how he was FEELING towards Varda at the time.

The problem is that one specific member of this community, (who took upon him-/herself to policy what can and can't be posted, and how people should and should not behave, and whose sole occupation is to start flame wars and after a couple of pages to call everyone immature and leave the thread, only to come back a couple of pages later to throw more wood in the fire, and report as he/she sees fit when the people who bother to humor him/her in his/her petty game actually get under his/her skin), has managed to get mods to actually listen and warn/ban to his/her whim.

I think that the mods would save a lot of time and trouble by banning this one person who doesn't even contribute anything but flame wars anyway, so the rest of us who don't give a darn can occupy ourselves with something else.

 

[Varda]

Shit......Lucy aren't you getting tired and bored yet?:zzz:

Vulgarity.

 

[Varda]

Varda gets warned for using a word. Then she creates a thread about it with the word as the title. Next some people start using that word about 15 times per post.
That's challenging authority to me.
"Varda got a warning for using that word. Ridiculous! Lets see what happens when we use that word over and over and over."
Well, I guess you found out

Is challenging authority a violation to the TOS?
Do you think Copernicus should have knelt down in front of the church and apologized for his heresy?
Isn't the entire scientific method based on challenging the established rules?

I agree that James probably judged me to be in defiance of his warning, after all, I did tell him as a reply to his warming to tell the whiny you know whats who reported me to stick their complains up their you know whats. So I did deserve to get banned for that.

Not for the thread I made though. That thread was started with a genuine interest to know.
If I had made it in linguistics, would that have been different?
I want to know why people hate this word so much.

I'm sorry for getting VI and lucysnow and bebelina involved. BTW. Your bans were bullshit, and you know it, and the mods know it too. So much that neither of them even bothered to reply to lucy's very well put argument for mod arbitrarity.

Heavily moderated forums always drive away the most interesting members and eventually become dull and disappear. And that is why 4chan ranks #1 in people magazine's most influential people list, while sciforums is the armpit who thinks it's the head.

Forum is a mochine, man no can argue with mochine.
Some mochine like c word, some mochine no like, some no like boy who get finger, mochine not rational like mans but mans will never beat mochines, we mans (and womans) must accept mochine and what him like.

Thats what I'm talkin about!

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

There is absolutely no need to be sorry we got involved because we were interested in your thread and willingly decided to take part in it. Our bans had absolutely nothing to do with anything you had done and the use of the word cunt in whatever context we may have used it was of our own volition.

Welcome, my son...

[James R]

Lou Natic's ban has been increased to 21 days.

Using sock puppets to evade a ban may result in the ban being made permanent.

 

[Varda]

I... think he doesn't care.

 

[James R]

I think you're right.

Edit: on second thoughts, no, you're wrong. Lou Natic can't stay away from sciforums. A 14 day ban was all but unbearable for him. The kid has to learn some self control, though. I have a soft spot for his adolescent playfulness, so I cut him a lot of slack, but I think this might be his last chance to grow up a bit.

oh? what is this 4chan you speak of?

 

[Tiassa]

Fourth time's a charm?

Is that what I said Tiassa? I used it in one sentence addressing Varda's ideas about why she was warned. Did daddy James ask me not to use the word cunt? I said 'silly ole cunt' so what? Can you tell me what I meant by it? No.

(yawn)

Yes, I realize that certain members were just having fun with the word "cunt" and ended up with one-day trips. But, really, it's one thing to go sticking your head in a lion's mouth if you're a circus performer; it's not so wise to go tempting a forum administrator, though, on such a touchy issue.​

Fourth time's a charm? Maybe? Hopefully? Please?

Doesn't matter what you meant by it, madam. Not in this case.

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

Well to tell you the truth Tiassa I don't really care what you thought of the situation or the use of the word.

 

[Tiassa]

A perfect example

Well to tell you the truth Tiassa I don't really care what you thought of the situation or the use of the word.

Yes—

• "Again Tiassa the limit would be what exactly?"

• "Tiassa one day someone posted links of pics of women with their hairy cunts hanging out .... I ask what's the difference?"

• "Is that what I said Tiassa? .... Can you tell me what I meant by it? No."​

—it's perfectly obvious to anyone who looks.

To the other, you do have a point. It's not what I thought of the word or the usage. Rather, it's what James thought that mattered in the end.

So cry and pout all you want. I'll be happy to remind my fellows on future occasions that this is a perfect example of why we should simply lock down these pointless bawlfest threads. Why should we give members genuine consideration if they don't really care what we have to say in response to the questions they ask us?

@Varda: There is absolutely no need to apologize to me. I chose to type the word 'cunt' of my own free will.

@Lucy: Yay, let's start the bitches' obscenity club!

Lou Natic can't stay away from sciforums. A 14 day ban was all but unbearable for him. The kid has to learn some self control, though. I have a soft spot for his adolescent playfulness, so I cut him a lot of slack, but I think this might be his last chance to grow up a bit.

Lou Natic is a kid??
