More Impt: Tell us what you think

Oh man.. You come home late at night, you're drunk, you see that your computer is on, you see LPA page open and you just sit there and post dumb shit. You don't plan it for weeks. You don't think about it. You just do it (nike hehe). Simple as.

Since we've figured that out the other question is, should I be banned if I do some stupid shit when I'm drunk? We've also already figured out the answer to that - yes.

Now if it's all clear can we please move on to something other that drunk-posting?

 

Thank you.

 

Ok fine, fair enough. I'll shut up now.

 

Yes, please stop going off topic. If you have nothing to contribute, stay out of the thread. Thank you.

 

Dusan hits the nail on the head.

And in any case.

I told thee what I think. But it got back to drunk posting again.

 

I think this thread is more aligned to what the admins can do to make getting on LPA a better eperience, not how the forums are organized. That's more of an organizational issue, and even then, there are many people (including myself) who like how it is organized already. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You could always try creating a separate topic. This is the Feedback Forum, you know (which has less posts in it than Tech Talk, Writer's Cove, and Artist's Gallery, by the way).

 

Not to be confrontational but I'd appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth, or so to speak. There's a difference between what I did post and saying Luke's full of shit.


with that said:

 

Difference or not it was still disrespectful Dean.

I'd rather not go into it though. Lets keep the peace eh.

 

The way I put it was, and for that I apologise. It was nothing personal either if that means anything.

 

Well at least you apologised. I havn't got beef with anyone here, you included. I think we should all just take a breather and get this place back to the way it was. I havn't posted here much this week and in all honesty the quiet is alot better than the drama.

 

I agree.

 

I'm sorry but I just have to get this out:

I doubt you could claim the LPA to NOT be some form of a family, because ALL communities are.

It's basically human nature. You grow up, you look for new 'families'. The first family you find, is your class in school. The next family would be the clique and the one after that is the family you find at your workplace.

Then there are 'families' you have on the side. Forums, clubs, sportteams and so on. Of course, everybody goes back to their roots at some point, but until then, we stick with our other families, because we mostly feel comfortable with them.

I personally like coming to the LPA just to read what other's post. Just like family reunions. I don't have to stand in front of the family and get their attention to know I'm a part of it. I'll just sit and listen to my relatives talk about this and that.

(This may be a little inaddequate but I tried making a point and hope I succeeded in doing so.)

 

It's definitely much more of a community than most message boards.

 

I take it, you agree?

 

Its kinda weird when you can say fuck, goddammit, oh jesus fucking christ but you cant say gay and retard while you will offend much more people by saying goddammit.

 

Pretty much

 

True

 

I think it's more about religious freedom for goddamnit.

Saying the G and the R offends people not on a religious level, but on a personal level. As someone who teaches and is related to someone who is mentally challenged, I get pretty offended. Just like homosexuality, mental retardation is a condition, and using those words in a negative light gets people mad. They can't help it, and I've personally seen what happens when those words are used in front of people who have those conditions or is that sexual orientation. It hurts.

Goddamnit... it's more of a religious tolerance thing. I don't want to get into it because I'm not Christian or the like.

 

One third of the people in the world are Christian, and around 85% of world's population is religious. But as long as we don't hurt homosexuals' feelings it's all fine.

And I don't know how much you know about religion, but this can also offend on a personal level. It's doesn't offends me, but I know that saying that God is stupid or using God's name in vain all the time (which is common here) can offend a lot of people and get them mad.

I don't really care about all this because, honestly, nothing here can really offend me. But if you already want to prevent people from being offended so much, maybe you should take this into consideration.
