I don't think that qualifies as flaming.  Negative, sure, and trolling, maybe.

Also, it's funny that this means he's banned forever from this forum.  Who will be the last one standing?

replying to someone's legit topic with "wasteland" belittles the poster & their post by implying it's trash & should be deleted, that's clearly pointless & harassing.

@bs, seems overly complicated, i like the simplicity of this! it's very easy to know if you're posting something friendly/useful/constructive or something maliciously derogatory. everyone has full access to free expression in every other aspect of war2 including forum, website & server, there's no need to excessively coddle people's ability to use this one, tiny little subsection of the forum.

Also, it's funny that this means he's banned forever from this forum.  Who will be the last one standing?
yeah lol, it's just gonna be like me, bs & igognito, until bs gets overwhelmed by & succumbs to the urge to troll

oh and also Lamby of course, lamby's so damn gentlemanly :)

Wow isn't that a bit hasty? What did he even post?
He posted the word "wasteland" in reply to Claw's thread about a Polish song.

trolling? one goes to "poland worship" thread in a HIGHLY MODERATED CULTURAL DISCUSSION board and says one word - "wasteland". of course the decision was right. Cya jon. all he wanted to do was troll, annoy people while giving no actual contect.

one offense - ban, that rule was there, stickied, you even commented below that post. Now you want to change the rules? Arent the comments"
Unless it's claw. You can ban him permanently straight away if you wish." provocative and hateful?

It's not racist at all.

I don't think I'm better than Polish people. I have wonderful Polish friends and neighbours.

I just prefer to be in another country when they start singing.

Good trolling is actually a positive thing (it's meant to entertain and be enjoyed, and not meant to abuse, harass, be obscene, etc.) so it's not against the rules as I read them.  In fact I think if you're not trolling, you're not truly contributing.

that's fine, as long as no one is feeling harassed or demeaned!

claw, babyshark contends that her criticism of the collective singing ability of the Polish people is a matter of personal preference. how do you respond?

Obviously i will respond by saying that my personal preferences are <insert my opinions about black people, muslims and more to come>. Will i be untouchable if I call a negative, biased comment about an entire nation a "preference"? That was entirely racist and everyone knows that, its just up to how biased you are

I mean BS is so wrong that she doesnt even realize the choir is NOT polish, but thats beside the point

jon's ban is well deserved, BS should also get a ban for discrimatory remarks towards an entire nation. was i the only one who read this section rules? poor blid needs to ridicule the right decisions, in order to get his commie friend unbanned I see
Title: Re: Re: jon's ban from the moderated war2 section
Post by: mousEtopher on September 20, 2017, 07:03:21 PM
yeah I think I gotta go with claw on this one, a musical preference is one thing -- e.g. "I dislike rap music", but this is a blanket negative statement applied to an entire nationality. how is saying "Polish people all have some inherent quality related to their polishness that makes them bad at x" qualitatively different than say "black people are less intelligent" ? plus your overall tone in this whole exchange is passive aggressive, and now you've also made an insult of someone's intelligence!

war2 forum actually seems incredibly biased against the polish, constant insults against polish people & polish culture happening that never get taken seriously. war2 poles have earned this one for all the shit they've taken over the years!

I've changed my mind: this subforum is not actually a troll, but a lesson.  As we one by one get banned from posting here, it gives form to Jesus's words "Let he without sin cast the first stone" through our own apparent and concrete example.  Truly, none of you is without sin, and each of you makes mistakes from time to time and causes others offense and hurt.  I hope you'll all be cognizant of that and take more care when posting in the future.

Indeed. IMO It is when people go about deliberately and repeatedly being nasty that there is a problem.

BTW: I liked the "wasteland" comment. I thought it was an appropriate and a bit funny. I don't this Claw's post should be wasted, I liked it, but he did go out of his way to put one sentance in bold text, which was an obvious dig at the communist fraternity. Given that, I thought the reply from MWR was a fair response.

... and also when do we get BS back? I presume these aren't permabans for mild first offences - otherwise the last person here is going to have to insult themselves just to get on the cool kids list ;)

Most, or all of the polish patriotic songs, were censored, banned and forbidden. its an important part of polish history. At the time, we had tons of movies full of allegories that censors eye would miss. new wave of communists should be aware of this part of history (not ideology from the books, but HISTORICAL FACTS. nobody seems to like those :-))
Lately ive seen a vid of discussion between neocommunists and some eastern european migrant. The guy informed them that you could be put in jail for posession, citing or reading certain books in communist regimes. Then he asked if it happens in 20-21st century america. Of course, neocommunists said that it happens too - people are put to jail just for reading a book. they forgot to bring up examples tho

HISTORICAL FACTS. nobody seems to like those

Ahhh "facts" - such slippery little things, even when you can get a handful of people to agree on what they are, it's virtually impossible to get them to agree on what they mean.

To be honest, most political argument, particularaly the rehashing of historical political arguments, just puts me to sleep. If you guys want to talk about that stuff, well fair enough, but you'll notice I don't often join in.

I would like to see and hear what's good about Poland the Polish people.
 :critter:

If there are positives in their stoicism and the way they have overcome adversity, then good, I want to hear about them - but I want to hear as little as possible about the problems and as much as possible about how they overcame them.

  .... and preferably those elements of the story that are quintessentially Polish. i.e. not just how you kicked ass, but how you kicked ass the Polish way.

When I randomly parachute out of a plane blindfolded then discover I'm in Poland, what are the things that will make me say, "Cool, I'm glad I landed here because...." ?

You don't have to post what I want, of course, but this is why I have liked your latest Poland thread so far.
