Who the fuck's Jackal? I was talking to Don.

He'll always be Jackal to me, no matter what his new name might be. Just like I call CK or whatever his name might be right now cyriel, and I always called D-Weaver that, no matter what his name change might have been.

At least the fad of changing your name and avy to a superhero is over.

[cyanide]

I thought the was enough for sarcasm, but I guess not.

Sorry for giving you a scare Jackal-baby

[Jugs]

<bleep> all you mother<bleep>ers. You can't have finger terets (sp?) that make you type out random swear words.

The new mods bore me. Do something fun please.

Just kidding. I love the new mods. Especially cyanide.

[dada]

First no swearing then soon we will be selling little teddy bears with cute nba jerseys. Thank goodness that was a joke, didnt know we were in need of pussifying.

[bklynrickel]

ah, the fourm rules already do refer to the issue of poranity. the rules say something to the effect that above all we should have fun and be CIVIL.

Civility, according to dictionary.com, refers to being courteous and polite.

polite and swearing dont mix.

fourm rule.

there are rules that must be followed in basketball. otherwise the game would be a mess.

rules are...

rules, and we need to play by them.

[bigh0rt]

Is that supposed to be philosophical or something??

Look, the moderation team handles any issue where we feel things are no longer civil. If there's an issue you feel we don't see, by all means, drop one of us a PM and we'll look into it.

If you want a forum that strictly forbids any and all profanity, please feel free to look elsewhere. This is the hand the forum has dealt you. Take the good with the bad, or you're more than welcome to check in elsewhere.

So, let the sleeping dog lie. There's a rule for ya. Play by it.

[Jackal]

Score a free e-blow job for the sum project guy.

let us (the mods) do our job, and you can do yours (posting).
I won't sit here and tell you how to post so please don't tell me how to do my job.

Yes, the forum rules do address profanity, and we should all be civil about it, but did you happen to also read:

Profanity

Profanity is tolerated on the forum, but we ask that you try not use it in excess or unnecessarily. If you direct profanity towards other members, it will be treated as flaming and you will be asked to cease such behaviour.

yes, profanity is tolerated.

"tolerated", according to dictionary.com, refers to permission, and a lack of prohibiton.

tol·er·ate (tl-rt)
tr.v. tol·er·at·ed, tol·er·at·ing, tol·er·ates
1. To allow without prohibiting or opposing; permit.
2. To recognize and respect (the rights, beliefs, or practices of others).
3. To put up with; endure.
4. Medicine. To have tolerance for (a substance or pathogen).

so "polite and swearing" do mix, as swearing can be a way to express frustration without directing it towards someone else in the forum.

so once again, like you say, let's play by the rules...
and let the moderators decide when profanity goes over the line. thanks.

I don't really see any overly-excessive swearing on the forums.

Are you suggesting you DON'T have tourettes? i've heard your ROFLCOPTA's don't you worry about that.

[---]

"ROFLCOPTA"???

I imagine that to be a helicopter with dogs in it

[Ruff Ryder]

Your imagination sucks then.

[---]

What else could it be?

A helicopter with laughing dogs flying it?


I give up, I can't think of anything else

[bigh0rt]

Rolling On The Floor Laughing Cursing Out the Parent Teacher Association??

Seems reasonable, if you've ever attended a PTA Meeting.

[cyanide]

Ignoring the sarcasm detector, I think it's a shorthand way of saying ROFLCOPTER.

Like so:

[---]

I don't get it. A helicopter made out of letters, with "LOL" and "ROFL" making the blade things? I mean... its like when people make a big heart out of letters, but that has a point. What does a helicopter have to do with anything?

[BigKaboom2]

For God's sake.

The superior being of chatspeak, 'roflcopter' out takes down all lollerbladers, lmaoplanes and various other outlawls. Pilots of the roflcopter often enjoy a nice crispy ZOMGBBQPIZZA and some lolmonade. Children also enjoy a good ride in the roflcopter, as it spreads smiles and festivals known as the 'lolapalooza' across the world.

Captain Sloloman of the elite omega roflcopter squad enjoyed a fresh ZOMGBBQPIZZA and a cool lolmonade after his swift victory over the lollerbladers, lmaoplanes and outlawls and returning safely to the lolapalooza.

What has the world come to...

I still don't understand it. Whats the point? What the fuck is it? Why?

Nevermind.

[cyanide]

It just evolved that way. I'm not a fan of rofl or lmao or lol's for that matter, but it just got to the point of making fun of those abbreviations as actual words rather than abbreviations. Instead of thinking of "laugh out loud," we start thinking of "lol" as just that: "lol" as in "lollipop." Then people just made fun of it by attaching words to it and all that. No biggie, really. More like inside jokes.

[---]

I actually had a guy in my english class who said "lol" instead of laughing. That's sad.
