Didn't take you long. I figured you'd be the one to comment first.

Here's a link to the post... judge for yourself if it's a "rage quit."

I'm a little offended that you compared TSB to CC. In CC, there is obvious bullshittery and joking around. Yeah, we troll each other sometimes. Yeah, we insult each other sometimes. But all in all, CC is nothing more than some fucking fucking around fuckfest in this fucking forum.

On the other hand, TSB is nothing but one big troll fest. That's all that goes on in there. It's trolling. This isn't to say there aren't some genuine good posters in there, because there are. I've always considered GrumpyGOP, d357r0y3r, JCASHFAN, Kris, sparky, theDuke866 to be good posters (and there are others, but they either have been trolled out of TSB, or they rarely venture in there).

Then you have other posters who do nothing but just try to devolve a discussion into nothing but childish name calling, like smc, hooksaw, mambagrl and aaronburro (yeah, I know God isn't on the list, but seeing as how he know longer posts here, I left him off). These users, I wouldn't mind being suspended.

There are other posters I'm kind of on the edge about. And before you start saying that I'm only pointing out "conservatives" or "liberals" as who I consider to be good posters, It's worth mentioning that two of the posters, GrumpyGOP and d357r0y3r are two users who I have disagreed with quite a bit and who I feel lean further to the right than I do. But I've always thought they actually added tot he discussion.

Now, flame away.

"The quality of discourse here makes this forum no better than Chit Chat"

ironically, i think chit chat threads about politics/religion/etc are often more civilized than soap box threads on the same topics, because people dont take things as seriously, and therefore you dont see posts with 20+ quotes and responses from people frothing at the mouth

8/5/2010 7:58:16 PM

Goddammit, I never get called out.

8/5/2010 7:59:46 PM

The fuck does this even mean? I understand if you don't understand the complexities of inner forum relationships between different forums, but is there any fucking point to this? I'm inclined to think not.

"judge for yourself if it's a "rage quit.""

I'll ask my 12 year old brother, a frequent gamer and poster on 4chan, to tell me whether it's a rage quit. I think he is qualified enough to assess what merits a "rage quit" or not.

This thread is about Optimum "rage quitting." We have another thread on gay marriage in TSB. Go post your feelings there.

I suggest you re-read my previous post. Until all the faggotry stops in TSB, it only makes sense that people will post in CC. If you have faggots in CC and you have faggots in TSB, might as well post in CC where you can have some fun.

Meanwhile, it just drives posters away from this site. Can we really afford to lose any more people? If it keeps up, we'll end up in a recession in no time.

I didn't read your post so I can't re-read it.

All I know is there have been 2+ TSB call out threads here in the past two weeks which is 2+ too many.

"Optimum punch it 13656 Posts user info edit post The proposal in this thread is just as relevant now as it was 2 months ago. Some folks that use this particular forum do so with the express intent not to discuss the particulars of subjects, but to (a) merely act illogically partisan, (b) make things personal, (c) a combination of the first two. The quality of discourse here makes this forum no better than Chit Chat, except that fewer people participate. There's plenty of potential for things to improve, but some seemingly want Soap Box to be one of the worst reasons to visit TWW. This will be my last post in Soap Box. I've been driven away by the lack of civility. Bye, y'all. 8/5/2010 7:20:28 PM"

or were those posts in the same thread

they were. my hypocrisy knows no bounds.

LOL! I can always rely on someone to take me seriously...

8/5/2010 11:06:52 PM

TSB has become a wasteland. a toxic dumping ground of arrogance and stupidity. I rarely bother to even look in there anymore.

8/6/2010 2:28:07 AM

I think that instead of suspending people's ability to post in all the forums, we limit people who get suspended to TSB.

8/6/2010 2:39:03 AM

haha. people who can't play nice get banished to the soap box.

naw, that would be cruel. there's a preponderance of Asperger's kids in there already. that would just throw gas on the fire.

8/6/2010 2:56:59 AM

^ Your moral tone is rather high on this one, sir. Over the years, you've contributed as much bile and stupidity to that forum as anyone.

Just sayin'.
