I have been looking for it too it might have also been the crown heights board. I saw it 2 or 3 days ago and I got REAL VEX. I don't really care what you assume but if and when I find it I will point it out for sure. Why you got those numbers in your name?

If you saw it two or three days ago and it's now gone, that means one of the mods probably already took care of it. If you do find it, please let me know.

The numbers in my name are just a joke. Remember Apollonia 6 from the 80's?

haha

i would give it a 6 out of 10 on the funny scale

Of course I do. I have every Prince related album ever. I just fail to see the humor.

Me too!

Okay, so I find sacrilege funny and you don't. Can we find common ground in our love of His Purple Majesty and move on? Or do you want to find yet another bogus reason to be so danged sourpussed?

Shock-a-lock-a boom.

I don't understand why you would voluntarily bring this number anywhere in your vicinity unless you align yourself and/or are associated with that number.

Oh, good gravy.

You got me. I'm the antichrist. Shhhh... don't tell anyone! :roll:

Btw, the actual nefarious number in question is 616, not 666.

So apollonia's just fine with that, rock on.

Okay, it's official.

He's a troll.

[edited to add the following:]

I have stayed out of this to-date other than to offer up a lighthearted triviality to ease things up just now, but am now remaining completely out of any further care and feeding of trolls here.

It is clear to me that this poster is just here to mess with anyone that interacts with him, so on that note, have a lovely evening to all.

I don't believe the mods are trying to instill censorship. I think they're trying to encourage civility.

Exactly.

Guru, I think you're a bit confused about what censorship is. Censorship is when the government limits speech in a public forum. Internet bulletin boards like this one are PRIVATE forums -- this site is owned and paid for by a private individual, and the users are essentially guests here and by using this site agree to follow its rules.

And if you'll check out the rules -- handily available at the "THE RULES" link at the top of every page of this site -- they're not really that onerous.

Here are two examples to try to illustrate this in a way you can understand:

Say you're standing on a public street corner peacefully holding a sign that expresses whatever your political view is, and a cop arrests you. The sidewalk is a public forum, you're being prevented from exercising your First Amendment rights by the government, and that fits the definition of censorship.

Now, then, say you go to a party at Joe Schmoe's apartment, and you get into a screaming match with another party guest in the living room. Joe Schmoe tells you that you both have to cool it or else he's kicking you out of his apartment. Joe's apartment is a PRIVATE forum, Joe isn't the government, and he is within his rights to place limits on what can happen in his living room. That is NOT censorship. And that's analagous to what was happening in the other threads here.

I've already explained why I locked the threads I did. They were WAY too out of control. Folks are welcome to discuss the topics that were being raised; they simply need to do so more civilly, without the nastiness and name-calling. I'm sorry if you can't understand that, but it isn't censorship.
Your definition of censorship is very limited. I do notice when and how you guys intervene, and considering your veiled insults and overt sarcasm your credibility as gatekeeper is far less than naught. 8)

ORLY?
Then why did i just see posts about "poor black people suck" on the prospect heights board? Please explain.

I'm not a mod, so I can't say for certain, but perhaps they don't know about it yet. Couldn't hurt to send one a PM to ask them for sure -- if they don't know, I'm sure they'd appreciate the heads-up.

Um, exactly. Believe it or not, the mods and admins are not omnipresent. I'll go try to find this thread over on the PH board.

Jeebus, WAY too many people are home in a pissy mood with too much time on their hands today.
While you are it get the one that started with the "ghetto kids" statement that wasn't commented on until people started defending themselves. Censorship happens in private as well as public as well as governmental.

The offer still stands from one of the other posts I commented on (What's missing in Bed Stuy...). I'd be interested in meeting you over a cup of coffee or a meal at the restaurant of your choosing. No race baiting, no blame games. Just learning where we each come from, face to face, in a friendly way. Think of it as an education, for the both of us. I don't think I'm going to change your perspective, but I'd sleep better at night if you knew that not all white people are out to get you. I'm too broke to move, so we're going to have to be neighbors for a while. I echo your sentiments, Peace.

No offense but I have no interest in eating or drinking anything with you anywhere.
Peace.

Tom please work on Guvna and the moderators first; you seem like a good guy.

This thread isn't even about anything anymore.
