PLEASE, PLEASE tell me you don't really believe that PLEASE be more considerate about others, CrimsonBlade, as you reduce the impact of your own arguement by resorting childishly to words like "Greedy towel head". Make no mistake, I am VERY, VERY angry with that remark-some of my best friends are from Iraq and the other middle-eastern countries, but I'm not going to resort to flinging sterotyped views about Americans. Of course, it doesn't matter what I say because I'm one of those "narrow minded people that can't do anything but wine about saving some damn bird in some rocky area that is good for nothing but being a frozen waist land". May I venture my opinion here, seeing as you are? I doubt you'd like it. You'd probably start bitchin' 'cause I'm from Britain.

Edited, not sure what happened there but Groj made an extremely amusing and accurate remark which I quoted. As soon as I've posted its gone! If he doesn't want it left in then I won't quote it. Suffice to say I'm in 100% agreement.

Same with my post [img]smile.gif[/img]
ROFL @ that, Grolijar! However, I don't think TCB is "trolling" as per such, just being very rude.

C'mon guys, I support crimson blades right to his opinions. They are probably shared by a lot of Americans.
I think in Britain we are far too "PC" and touchy feely about hurting every minorities feelings. Get over it I say. If you can't stand the heat etc. It's easy to say not to stereotype but we all do it, consciously or subconsciously. All I would say to crimson is get spell check my friend. "waist land" come on?, are we talking about an Americans expanding belly here?.

This has nothing to do with us being too "PC". This isn't debating, this is disrespectful ranting for the sake of offending as many of those who disagree with him as possible. If he voiced his opinions in a decent way ("I agree with the oil drilling because [insert decent arguments without unprovoked (personal) insults and attacks ]"), no one would have reacted to his post in the way they did. Maybe you think his way of bringing his opinions is alright, but here at Ironworks, we actually try to avoid mudslinging and rudeness and try to debate matters in a mature and respectful way. If we all "debated" like Crimsomblade does, Ironworks would not have been the globally friendly place that it is now. [ 03-14-2003, 10:22 AM: Message edited by: Grojlach ] |

May I call everyone's attention to this snippet of the ToS? Be Clean: Adhere to decency and refrain from abusive or hateful language, while cussing isn't censored, please don't direct the words towards someone in a hateful or demeaning way. Also, Cussing 'just to be cussing' will land you with an account suspension if it becomes too much. Also, don't put an expletive in the title of your post. It will be deleted. While in a debate, or have a difference of opinion, please do not take it as an attack. We will close accounts of people that attack others, be it in a subtle way, or a deliberate loud way. Although cussing was not used, the abuse and hateful part is definitely there. Crimsomblade, I STRONGLY suggest that you cease and desist from any further posts such as the one you made in this thread. -Sazerac

Towel heads? I suppose someone should tell the Venezuelans they have been lumped in with the Iraqis and Iranians.
