    According to Dayton's religion, he's going to hell.

    It's just cause and effect. People like you don't deal in reality. We all have to live with our choices.

    The guy who believes in god telling me I'm not dealing in reality. Priceless, thanks for the laugh son.

    We do have to live with our choices. At this point I'm pretty happy I'm not the guy that has to live with making the choice to laugh at people with AIDS. :)

    Right. You're the guy who endorses them having it.

    :lol: Show me where i said that, or was that an even shittier troll than usual? I don't want anyone to get AIDS. And I certainly don't want to be an asshole and laugh at people who suffer from it.

    You on the other hand make a conscious choice to laugh at and take delight in other people's suffering. And you inexplicably keep trying even harder to justify your position, you're literally stumbling over yourself trying to tell us all that it is ok to make the choice to laugh at people with a terrible disease.

    What is wrong with you?

    What's wrong with me? If it were up to me people would make better moral choices and would lessen the possibility of killing themselves. I laugh at their stupidity, not at the disease. Your endorsement of the lifestyle is a tacit endorsement/acceptance of their inevitable demise. Sorry, kid.

    You do realize people get AIDS in hetero relationships, too, right?

    you do realize infants are born with it through no fault of their own? nYanno, the same ones that have to be protected from abortion until they're born and start sucking up tax dollars for existing?

    You do realize many contracted the virus through blood trasfusions before screening became avalible?

    I'd ask if you realize what a complete assclown you are to the point that you managed to derail a Dayton thread hijack, but we all know the answer to that one. :bergman:

    It's some good irony that the thread about a possible plane crash ended up turning into a train wreck. :borg:

    So the Red Room is no longer the Red Room.

    We should rename it.

    Don't get me wrong I don't like threads that get stupid but you all playing what post is "derp" and what isn't "derp" and then threatening posters to keep on topic is going to cause quite a bit of problems down the road.

    I suggest we call the Red Room by it's new name: The Neutral Zone

    This is nothing new. Been happening since the beginning. Most recently O2C did this last year when Clyde went full retard and started fucking up threads.

    And it's not like the posts are being deleted or 'discussion' :lol: being stifled. The derp-railment is preserved and people are free to join in. Heck might even boost discussion as people who didn't want to join in the dogpile b/c they didn't want to further the derailment now can and people who didn't want to post in the original thread b/c of the derailment now can.

    And I have no intention of posting in a "derp" thread to satisfy some mods view of how a thread should run its course and how posters shall post in said thread.

    Zombie's got a point.

    The Red Room has always been whatever we made it. A big-ass BBS with thousands of members and hundreds of active topics at any given time needs a lot of active intervention to keep it organized and keep it from being like taking a drink from a fire hose. Wordforge is smaller, always has been. It's the dive bar where you hang out with your friends. The back booth in the bar doesn't need a social director.

    It was wrong then.

    It's wrong now.

    In fact looking at the Derp thread I see you split out Tuckerfan and Steve's posts. Sure they may be going at each other but where's the "derp"?

    I created the Derp thread and I moved the posts that weren't on this thread's topic there.

    This news story is still developing and it would be nice to be able to discuss it without having to wade through the tiresome retardedness that had already consumed 2-3 pages worth of the thread.

    If the discussion has nothing to do with this topic, who cares if it's in a different thread? The only reason you'd care is if you WANT to derail this thread.

    Bullshit.

    You almost sound like Listkeeper there.

    Posters here don't need mods in the Red Room deciding which post is quality and which isn't. It's not your business what other posters discuss no matter how tired you get of the "retard" factor.

    Use you're damn mouse wheel and scroll past it. Or for the non-mods here use the ignore function if you can't handle a mouse.

    Nothing's gone. The discussion is still there. If anything, it should better serve those other discussions as posts about the Malaysian plane crash won't intrude.

    In any event, I've said all I'm going to say on the subject in this thread. I'm not going to contribute to re-derping it over :drama:

    No he doesn't. You're making the same mistake he is assuming that the recent past is all that has been. Yes, Lanz was more hands off than prior owners, especially toward the end. But that doesn't mean that that was how it always was much less how it ought to be. See:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is-ought_fallacy

    Also keep in mind that in the past there used to MUCH more warnings and mod/admin interference. Heck it used to be a warnable offense to post Media Central content in the Red Room. Do you really not remember that? Just b/c the mods and admin are trying out ways to keep the place from becoming TK doesn't mean that it's all of a sudden not Wordforge. We've always tried to walk the line between as much leeway as possible to foster debate and discussion without going so far as to be a spamfilled wasteland. That means that at times things change. For example telling people to 'ignore the noise' may work out fine when the signal/noise ratio is 70/30 but when it gets to 40/60 it might be time to reassess the strategy.

    Man, I've never had a puppy before. What fun, and what a challenge.

    On one side of things, you're proud when they do things like sit. And wow, he sits about 3/4 of the time I tell him to, which is great, because hey, we've had him less than 48 hours.

    But even with the taking him outside five minutes after he drinks and about every half hour otherwise, there are still surprises. Like the poop sandwich I stepped in barefoot this afternoon.

    Overall, I think he will make a great dog. He seems very intelligent and trainable. I wish I had more experience with dogs this age because I'm not sure how much you can tell about them from this stage.

    Did you mean to post this in the "derp" thread? Because it has nothing to do with the topic.
