The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I wanted to avoid playing the seniority card, but I'm really over you acting like you know hpw this site has been all this time.

What's really utterly idiotic is the fact that you're arguing about this when Deron has personally asked people not to use such insults before because he doesn't want them on the site. That's going back way before you got here.

Some other good reasons are the fact that he loses ad revenue used to pay for the site when advertisers don't want their ads featured here anymore and when bands get fed up with posters like yourself and stop paying to have their official forums hosted here, both of which have actually happened.

As I said before, you lack the historical context to even have this argument and your whole argument is based on hypotheses and assumptions.

(@MetalAges, I'd love for you to confirm that you've made these requests for the reasons that I've stated.)

Side note: We never had a hard time getting good new members on this site in the first few years that I was here. Things went downhill when people who wanted to fight mods and everyone else joined.

:thumbsup:
 
Make me, you incoherent cunt.

Look, I'm with you. Censorship is bad in my book too. That said, this isn't a government mandate. Technically we are in Deron's house. Would you go to your buddies house on a Friday evening and throw around the N word when he has a black wife? I think he'd ask you to stop saying it. This isn't much different. You may be talking to a select few people (the regulars) when you type here, but there are thousands of other lurkers who just read our talks, both now and for the very long future.

Now, why is faggot a bannable word? Can't I get around that by saying cockpipe cosmonaut, or Muscle Mary? Well sure, but instead of finding alternatives, shouldn't you be asking why you're insulting someone in the first place? Maybe we should develop some sense of community here?

God I sound like a faggot...
 
I don't even use the n-word and since Deron came down hard on the f-word I haven't used it either. I know it isn't about the government, but censorship doesn't only deal with the government anyway so that's a dumb thing to bring up imo.

Maybe we should develop some sense of community here?

I'd rather we develop a sense of humour and a spine, communities are lame. I don't want harmony, I want disagreement, heat, mockery etc. The vast majority of the time I see the f-word used around here it is used in jest, which Deron himself has admitted. Anyway I think I've said about as much as I can say to you assholes without beginning to repeat myself (like Omni, the queen of saying the same shit over and over) so I'll just leave it here.

Let's all meet up again when the next word gets banned and you can all mock me again then. :old:

More like a screaming bendover tbh

fwiw I agree that reporting people for OH NO BAD WORD is fucking lame and I'd be interested to know who the soft cunts are that keep doing it. The only people I've ever reported are worthless trolls and spammers and TB at the height of his mania. I also don't think I've ever seen the F word directed at a gay person in a hateful way on this site, but who knows, maybe it was swiftly deleted or something. It's an ugly and unimaginative word anyway, mainly used for tough guy posturing even in jest, so I have no problem with it being removed from the UM lexicon.

Let's all meet up again when the next word gets banned and you can all mock me again then. :old:
If CUNT gets banned I'll happily join the resistance.

Ok folks, I agree, we've all said about all we can - let's get back on topic.

How about this for a manly "what are you doing" post:
  • Getting a Tommy John candle ready to send for a benefit auction.
  • Getting our #1 seller Mermaid Cove ready for our cross-promotion of "The Little Mermaid" show in town.
  • Preparing labels for some new candle launch, and an ad for a business event where we (Shining Sol Candle Company) are nominated for Emerging Business of the Year. Pretty cool, right?! :)
 
Personally, I'd like to see Deron ban "Opeth" and "Trivium" next. Those are more offensive than the words that he's banned so far.

Add a word filter to replace those words with more acceptable words like "Demilich" and "Slayer".
 
Day four of being sick. Taking a cabinet full of shit trying to fight it off but will have to go see the doctor if I'm not better in a day or so. Still kinda shook up over getting pneumonia a couple of years ago.
