04 May 06 - 05:13 PM (#1733201) Subject: Tech: people who post From: GUEST,leeneia I was going to make this a BS post, but then I decided that it is more than mere BS. As you may have noticed there is a fierce debate on censorship going on below the line. Insults are flying and italics are being deployed. However, there is something for the neophyte to keep in mind about thread such as this. That something is this: I have a friend who plays poker and likes to visit the blackjack sites. (The name Stanford Wong comes to mind.) Sometimes a thread will start on one of those sites. A person - let's call him A - posts something. B and C respond. Then X comes along and insults A, B or C. Z comes along and supports X. Flames flicker, innocent bystanders get upset. yada yada yada Suddenly a message from management appears, something to the effect of "We have determined that messages in this thread from A,B,X and Z are all coming from the same computer. This thread is out of here." See what happened? Some troublemaker who enjoys upsetting other people has posted phoney attacks on himself. Strange,eh what? Keep this in mind as you surf the net. |

04 May 06 - 05:31 PM (#1733214) Subject: RE: Tech: people who post From: John MacKenzie Tech, is one of the non BS categories listed by the management, and as BS is only the correct categorisation for posts below the line, then in theory Tech is an above the line category. However as the post was not a technical query then it has ended up in the right place. Doesn't help though to make superior remarks about it does it? Giok |

04 May 06 - 05:40 PM (#1733219) Subject: RE: Tech: people who post From: Noreen I find it does :0) It was a mere statement of the case- the division was made to keep everything non-music away from the music posts, for those who come to the site for music. |

04 May 06 - 05:52 PM (#1733232) Subject: RE: Tech: people who post From: Greg F. The division is a convenience for those that don't have the critical acumen and/or the cognitive or reading skills to be able to read a thread title and realize what the subject under discussion actually is. |

06 May 06 - 08:51 AM (#1733963) Subject: RE: Tech: people who post From: Big Mick Seems to me that a statement about being married to several jackasses says more about the poster than the "jackasses". Just an observation. I'll get me cap. Mick |
