Cool! I've had this political/religious thread I've been dying to start...

Kudos to the mods and admins for handling this difficult situation. Here's hoping we can all act like men.

Ok well since the OT suspended ws closed I thought I would offer a rebutal here to JLStorm's comment.

begin quote

There is a big difference between being politically correct and simply being respectful. I highly doubt there will be any large philosophical gain or great gift to humanity by saying "christianity sucks", "youre an asshole", "democrats are stuipd" or "I hate the English", etc. If you feel that any additional rules or guidelines stifle your creativity or your contribution to humanity, than you are free not to post in the OT section, it is just that simple.

End quote

I have never seen
(granted I didn't see the "big bang " thread, building 7 was it?)

anyone say "you're an asshole" , " Demorats are stupid" or any of the others.
Maybe they were said in the past, maybe you are an asshole, maybe Democrats are stupid.
Who knows?

My point was that banning of certain topics will not stop people from being stupid assholes any more than banning alcohol stops drunkards or banning guns calms the violent.

The offenders themselves need to be dealt with.

Does this make sense?

sure it does.

glad to see the place is back open

I had to go hang out on a flashlight forum the whole time it was down.
Imagine that! A whole forum about FLASHLIGHTS !! (chuckle, snort, chuckle)

Wonder if they got any "dim bulbs " over there?


BTW, they have an off topic too. It's called the CAFE.

We are hoping that people will use their common sense and respect for others while posting in the OT forum regardless of the rules, especially now that we will be watching this forum more closely. Hopefully we are not being overly optimistic, if we are, we will take a much more hands on approach to control the situation.

[Jimbo]

It's great to see the OT open again - thanks to the mods and admin.s et al. Here's to the responsible and appropriate use of free speech

Thanks Joe. We'll watch our manners

[JMS]

I have to confess...









...I've been unfaithful.










I've been flirting with the other off topic furums on the other wet shaving sites.









Can you ever forgive me!


Thanks Joe, Lynn and all of you working behind the scenes!

[WireBeard]

I do hope everyone is on their best behavior....Lynn and Co. put a lot of work into the site and I don't know of anyone who has not learned something here. But don't forget, it's not just members that may come here...and we are "de facto" ambassadors for SR shaving.....

So best manners everyone!


(You! That is the WRONG fork...no, the other one...no, not that, that's a spoon.....and lick the crumbs off of your knife before putting it back in the butter!!! )
