Since you've been gone, Thucy, Zultar has become co-owner of the site and most of us have been striving to make it a more inviting forum.

So I gathered, and I'm on board.

See my free of charge summary of The History Of The Caribbean in ILN's thread for proof lol

Libtard does not need be retired. I completely disagree

Why thucy, does that term hit home for you? Why don't you just act proud that you are one , and issue solved

@Thucy, I've personally no desire to babysit the forum to that degree and I doubt Zultar does either. It is just the more extreme and vulgar comments that really are widely considered unacceptable that people are being asked to tone down (so far anything related to cheering on kid's deaths, even sarcastically). Libtard really doesn't even come close to comments like that.

(didn't read the thread, responding directly to the title post).

Well, it's President Obama admitting the obvious: some lives are more precious than others. Some people are considerably more valuable to the future of humanity that the rest of the rabble.

Would you agree, Krellin, that if the flight was full of the world's political leaders, then it would have a very significant impact on history. The same goes for brilliant researchers. (assuming they were brilliant, I have not looked into them).

Krellin has been silenced for 48 hours, that's why reading the thread is beneficial :)

Why the fuck was krellin silenced? Fuck that shit. #NoCensorshop

Welp, my typo ruined the sentiment.

I agree Chaqa ..... no Censor Shops ..... do it all online, ultimately cheaper and you can provide a 24/7 censor service (unless the internet is down for maintenance)
Are you sure it was Krellin that did it ..... also whadhedo?

Out of respect for Zultar and his new no-nonsense approach to forum *********** ******** ******** I am going to mute myself ...... well done Z

Yo, Chaqa, how about understanding that krellin has issues rather than defending him blindly because you happen to have similar political beliefs?

"There isn't a bit of hatred in this thread, you puss-filled maggot sucking cunt-stick."

this is glorious, i need to bookmark this!

So what is more important, an AIDS researcher or a guy playing diplomacy and posting in webdiplomacy forum? I know where my vote goes for.

Indeed. It is thanks to AIDS researchers that the public are aware of the odds of getting AIDS if you have sex with someone infected, and how those odds change depending on what precautions are used. Because of them we are empowered to make informed choices over how to live our lives.

Braillard, you're a disgrace if you think Putin is Hitler. Ukraine's government is comprised of actual neo-Nazis who murder people with impunity. Putin's father fought against Hitler's hordes.

Your comments are offensive and disgraceful. You lost any respect you might have had from me.

Presumably, given the stated standards here, the only responses to "Libtard" and the rest of the name-calling noise is to respond in kind -- I hereby release "Cuntservitard" into the public domain -- or go someplace that has conversation that doesn't make the comments sections on Democratic Underground or FOX News's sites look like the Oxford Debating Society.

In other words, there's entirely too little moderation on here, assuming the goal is a place that a) is actually any use at all for discussing issues, and b) isn't so offensive and toxic that the average casual visitor doesn't leave forever after one page of comments. On most serious sites, comments like Chaqa's above are themselves grounds for suspension or a ban.

@FineRedMist - Go pound sound, assdouche. This is an open forum, not a formal debate, and as long as the site coowners don't wand to stifle the language, we are free to use it.

Oh and this site is about playing the game. The forum.is a side thing. It would be counter productive to ban players for their comments. Now banning non-players like you would be no loss at all.

FineRedTrollAss, shut the fuck up, dipship...you should be one of the statistics that go away. You wouldn't know a serious site if it back handed your momma in the face. Coming from mickeys playhouse to here gives you no fucking credibility, asstard

Everyone see Putins friends not only shoot down the airliner but pillage the belongings of their victims, deplorable behavior.

Of course you're free to use it. I'm as free to point out how you pollute what might otherwise be a place that's useful to a larger number of people instead of just being some kind of Petri dish for a handful of assholes to grow verbal slime in. Feel free to embrace the free speech attitude you so laughably claim to have and just smile and walk on when you don't like having your toxicity pointed out.

Damn krellin, as i read the headlines i thought of the exact same thing.

If this would have been a crash with "normal" people, it would have just been a tragedy, if it's with AIDs researchers it's the end of the world. You should see how all the "science loving" hipsters reacted to this. ..

@ Putin33: if one's granpa fights Hitler it doesn't mean one can't get inspired by Hitler... And I wasn't referring to Hitler's ideology but strategy.. Nice to see that you are judging me out of one post that you didn't even read properly.

@krellin (when you'll be unmuted) : I really dont get you, how can you be both such a saint and such an utter dick? On one hand you condemn attrocities going on around the globe and on the other, you say proxy wars were great... You defend the worthiness of every life but then insult everybody that doesn't think like you..

If today's war are the result of a "weak" america, weren't yesterday's war the result of a "strong" America? Seems to me that you contradicting yourself in your statements. If every life is worth the same, then every opinion also is, isn't it?

Do you do things simply because you're free Draugnar? I'm free to burn money in front of bums, but I don't because it's indecent and inhumane. But go on, call me whatever, since you're free to, I suppose.

Who is the free one anyway? One who acts outlandishly in attempt to assert his freedom to himself and others? Or one who uses his complete autonomy to consistently be kind and decent?

I say the meek shall inherit the earth and I think the meek wouldn't tell "shitstain assclown" at each other.

Why not worry less about others regulating you and worry more about regulating yourself, I say.

I invite you not to respond to this in anger because it isn't meant in jest. Peace.

"I'm free to burn money in front of bums"...it's actually illegal to burn currency in most countries, just saying.

FineRedMist - this place isn't at all like a petri dish, as after a while a petri dish will develop a culture.
