No, as long as nobody makes a direct insult its impossible to decalre anything else as an insult, thats based on opinion and who is being insulted, obviously if someone is insulted by something then its an insult.

Ridiculous. I'm insulted that kids TV today consists of idiotic live-action teen-star vehicles, but that doesn't mean that Disney made the dreck to insult people.

I very much doubt you are indeed personally insulted. And does an insult really have to be intended? its still insulting even if its not...

My Wall of Contradictions is not so much an intended insult as it is a way to point out failures in your arguments. It helps you come to the inevitable realization that you can, in fact, be wrong.
That wall is pretty weak. Most of your arguments are pretty weak. Aren't there any better quotes of BT saying illogical things, cause really, you should rather not have any quotes of him at all than those trivial ones.

BT, just drop it. You are not a mod. The rules are not going to be interpreted according to what you say, okay?

Quit trying to backseat mod and annoying the rest of us.

Yes, but they're hidden within the 100 pages of Sephiroth vs Link. I don't want to go digging for them.

I dont want to be a mod nor am i trying to mod, the rules are fairly clear, also my opinion of what an insult is is mine alone, I never stated the site should be run by my opinions, in fact the only opinion of what an insult is is the leader of the actual website, not a volunteer to keep peace ๐Ÿ˜‰

Besides its a bit unnusal to tell someone to drop an argument when this is a forum full of them and in the rules it clearly outlines its fine to argue as long as I dont bash you.

You all annoy me โœ…

The feeling is mutual, I'm sure.

Well, for me at least.

Well actually it was not a fair statement, not everyone annoys me, although you are certainly one of the ones who do annoy me.

That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. ๐Ÿ™‚

Delicious

First, this is a forum of discussion and debate, not arguing. Very different.

Second, you don't keep the peace. At all.

Considering the reports and complaints you make, you certainly act like you believe things should be run according to your opinions...

Also, believe it or not, my opinion as to what is an insult is very relevant. Same with GK's opinion, and the opinion of any and every other mod here. And obviously Raz trusts our judgment in that and how we interpret and enforce the rules.

Discussion != arguing. And I am well within my rights to tell people to stop arguing. What you do not have the right to do, however, is to argue with or disregard a mod when he or she tells you to do or not do something. Which is certainly in the rules.

Theres always an argument, their typically part of a debate.

I was refering to mods, I cant keep the peace because everyone wants to spoil to peace with me.

Only a poor debater resorts to straight-out arguing.

And you have nothing to do with it?

No, arguments are not a necessity of debate. Debate is meant to be a calm and reasonable discussion of opposing views.

It's not that you "can't" keep the peace, it's that you make no attempt to do so.

I have many peaceful debates with members that want to keep it peaceful, if they want to go hostile then I cannot be blamed for their behaviour especially if I have peaceful debates at the same time.

Well obviously I am, since I am the object of their goal of breaking my peace. If there was no such thing as trolling I doubt I would ever break a rule.

I report things that I belive are against the rules, I cant possibly report things that are from your point of view against the rules, nobody can expected to do that.

Only on the grounds that you have the power to do something about it ,whether your right about it or not is another thing altogether. Raz trusts you to follow the rules as well as make sure their followed, not to tell people to stop doing things because you do not like it, if that is stated as your job in the rules and I am mistaken then please show me.

You need to enforce rules, what rule am I breaking by argueing generally with anyone?

Half the time when you report something, assuming that it's not a complete non-issue to begin with, from what I've seen you've started it, with baiting comments. How can you claim that people are out to get you?

And what, do you admit that you troll pretty much constantly, then? I'll tell you what I've said dozens of times before - it does not matter who started it. If you retaliate, you are equally guilty. "He started it" stops working when you get to be older than five years old.

Most of what you report is not against any rules. It's as simple as that. Disagreeing with someone is neither trolling nor flaming.

Also, if you had a bit of common sense, you would know that we can use our best judgment to nip things in the bud before they get to the point where rules are getting broken. Arguing tends to lead to nothing but hostility, so we like to stop it before it gets to that point.

However? Arguing with a mod when they tell you to not do something? Is breaking a rule. So when I say stop arguing and drop it, then I expect that to actually happen.

Hell if I know, I hardly watch TV.

In fact, my family's been out of town since Saturday. In that time, the TV's been on for about 15 minutes, and that was when it started storming in the middle of the night and I wanted to see if there were any warnings out for the area but was too lazy to turn my computer back on.
