Frozen in Carbonite

Bah! Don't be hard on yourself mate, I'm aussie, we're a hell of a lot worse than you in real life! And our country isn't on fire or a cesspool of nazis.

If some faggots can't handle your tiny banter and cheekiness, they damn well should just close up shop and be a private site for special snowflakes like themselves.

You never were a problem in my eyes, you were damned professional, at least in the War Room.

Different cultures have different perceptions on the value of wit and sarcasm. In good part this is due to Historical elements, as in many European cultures, wit and parody were the only available tool for political criticism, and the greatest European philosophers of the Enlightenment gave this art its letters of nobility with books still studied to this very day there. But this is not the culture shared by the dominant group - relatively speaking - on SB, for which the art of debating is grounded in other traditions.

And, as I said, generalizing the use of pattern recognition on a forum like SB would make it much more vulnerable to the exploitation of logical fallacies and would have given an overly large power to users either willing to spend as much time as I do gathering the pattern data of SB or those willing to engage in active disinformation and well poisoning. A conclusion that, I believe, some of the staff came to eventually, with logical consequences.

Man, you're thinking too hard on it.

If there's messed up patterns, just damned moderate it if it's too cheeky and breaks any rules! Its not like there's already fallacies everywhere on the damned forum!

People just need to learn to chill the hell out and not go crazy with mod powers until someone redlines.

According to the rules as stated, I was redlining. And for a board that large... you have to apply the rules equally for all. I do not really blame the staff and I hope noone will get banned on my behalf. Those who think SB has a problem should thrive to make it better rather than attack its supports, I believe.

Bleh, you redlining? You barely broke idle speed! ;P

I never saw you flat out insult anyone, you were firm if needed, no more.

Perception of what is rude and gratuitous changes across cultures.

Some cultures are more advanced than others, brother duck~

Just... different. Different History, different relation to society, to language, to politics. Simply, fundamentally different.

Heh heh, perhaps, perhaps. Love me some snobby frenchies though. ;P

Why do you repeat yourself in the last part of your post?

What do you mean?

Snobby Frenchies. That's a repetition.

Ate those at the colonel's table. It was really weird and bland. Wouldn't go for these again.

How aboutttttt....Baguette? ;D
Rufus Shinra

The only good baguettes are the French and Vietnamese. So unless you travel a lot, you can only offer me a bread-looking police baton. ;-)

I have very high standards for those. Could be expensive. :)
