@starlightbolt It'd be a ridiculously weak argument, but you could. You could also say that it's that whole (also weak, considering this is a privately-operated entity, and not Congress passing laws) first amendment freedom of speech argument. Just as I could say that it's my ninth amendment right not to have to put up with it.

@starlightbolt I SWEAR, I AM NOT SEEING THAT POPUP.
-
@starlightbolt PS Don't FAV AND REPEAT this, because I'm not an attention whore.
-
@redenchilada It only happens the first time you come to the site, it seems like. Anyway it's asking me to fill in my name and personal information, which I am more opposed to than the bill itself!
-
@starlightbolt It never came up for me.
-
@starlightbolt It's not his fault his idea of activism is to just yell his views at the top of his voice. Oh wait. Yes it is.
-
@astra If I didn't think I'd get banned I'd moderate his post.
-
@ceruleanspark Go for it.
-
@colfax If you think it's such a safe and great idea you go ahead and moderate him.
-
@ceruleanspark @colfax wait, did I miss cool things?
-
@carcino No. You missed Cabal being a tool about SOPA.
-
@ceruleanspark stupid quadratic equations making me miss things.
-
@ceruleanspark If Cabal is a tool, so are you.
-
@remembernovember Pfft. Pot, kettle, black.
-
@carcino ugh... Quadratic equations... I programmed that into my TI-83+ the first chance I had.
-
@astra nah, I think you've forgotten why I come to these boards ;)
-
@starlightbolt Hm. Never knew to begin with. Good to know, then.
-
@astra Oh hey Astra! How're you doing? Any less stressed?
-
@ceruleanspark Doing well enough, and more or less. Looking forward to decompressing a bit during lunch shortly. How are things there, other than apparently dead-slow?
-
@astra Oh snap Astra! I forgot to eat Ice Cream! You just reminded me! Otherwise yeah dead slow. Videogames and ice cream are the order of the evening here.
-
@starlightbolt You are, strictly speaking not supposed to say it /here/, though. I suggest that you stop.
-
@starlightbolt And also, those justifications aside, those words are still just plain unpleasant to hear or read.
-
@starlightbolt You could make the argument, but it wouldn't work, and I suggest you stop flogging the issue.

@starlightbolt From the RDN rules: "Harassment will not be tolerated. This includes (but is not limited to) insults to other users, the creation of defamatory groups, and /swearing at other users/."
-
@ceruleanspark Eep? I didn't mean for that to come out as an oh-snap moment, so if I did, sorry about that. But, yes, ice cream and video games on a slow night does sound like a good plan (though I'd more lean toward a good book and a fireplace, as I did last night when it was rainy and blustery outside, but if my honey was over, I would totally break out the games, since she loves those).
-
@astra OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT IT AGAIN IT'S PROBABLY MELTED AAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
@starlightbolt pester me in about an hour :D
-
@astra The ice cream is safe. Anyway, I think I'm gonna take a break from the game too. It's starting to frustrate me and I don't want to burn out.
-
@astra You don't have to put up with it at all. It's definately not PG13 language, and is thus against the site rules. If it happens again, it will be dealt with either by me or some other member of the staff
-
@ceruleanspark Glad to hear that the ice cream emergency was averted! I was curious for a moment there of if the ice cream is at least a flavor that still tastes decently as a soup. ;) And, after your note comparing the fun you're having with that game to the enjoyment of being shoved down a set of stairs repeatedly, yes, it does sound like time to pop something else in there. Either that, or you have an enjoyment for being shoved down stairs that I'm not quite comprehending (though, hey, to each one's own). ;)
-
@ceruleanspark @remembernovember I'd like to be a trowel. (Sorry, I just couldn't resist.)

@astra I appreciate the challenge of surviving the stairs. Think how good I'll feel when I finally overcome these stairs. I like challenging games. The ice cream was Cheesecake flavour. It does taste pretty nice when it's melted, so it wouldn't have been too bad as a milkshake. :3 but yeah, I'm just listening to some pony ambient music and having a drink now, so that's more pleasant than any variety of stair descent
-
@astra Haha true true
-
@ceruleanspark Oooh, yes, cheesecake ice cream definitely survives when melted. Still, glad you were able to keep it in its intended condition. And listening to some pony tunes as well, as I wrap up lunch. (Just finished "The Astronomical Astronomer's Almanac to All things Astronomy"; now on to "Fearful Tears Fall of Celestial Desperation".) Definitely helps with the decompression. And far better than painful household accidents, in my not-so-humble opinion.

@redback Whether or not words are offensive is determined by the person reading them. One could argue any word is offensive.

@colfax I dont have a flog

@remembernovember Spam in all its forms - repeated, uninformative posts, calls for attention, repeatedly mentioning meetups without any productive discussion - will be met with a warning, and possibly a temporary silencing. A particularly egregious account - one with no conversation aside from repeated spamming of its user's art, or group, or fanfic - may be deleted in extreme cases.
-
@astra @ceruleanspark Grrr, just realized that I hit the reply button on the wrong one, somehow. Darned accidental thread migration! I should totally be sent home.
