Quoted from metallik:

Show me this. Most "attacks" against right wing people are in response to things right wing people do.
LGBTQ people just want to live their lives without being constantly harassed by right wingers who have can't find anything better to do.

Exactly, his point can be summed up "tolerate my intolerance," and it's not a successful point of debate, it's a word game. What he calls exercising his free speech is ironically itself a threat to free speech. The fact that other people's identities continue to be a political matter for him means that people with those identities either have to defend themselves, remain silent, or stay away from whatever platform it is.

Quoted from LovelyCoCoNuts:

After speaking to another IFPA state rep, this is Only the TPF TD 's ban and is indefinite.

TPF folks can do whatever they want; it's their show. It doesn't sound like whatever you're doing is deserving of an IFPA-wide ban, but individual TDs certainly can choose to exclude you.

Quoted from LovelyCoCoNuts:

I did say anyone who says they want to turn all the boys into girls... is a disgusting thing to say

Did you say this to Thanos as he was about to snap every boy into a girl? or do you honestly believe people are capable of turning other boys into girls? Like you see that as a possible real threat and not some absurd comment?

Quoted from LovelyCoCoNuts:

Sexoffender is not in the pinball community afaik
Those are 2 separate people, not the same. Two separate arcades.
I did not say anything about a trans person being a trans person.
I did say anyone who says they want to turn all the boys into girls... is a disgusting thing to say
After speaking to another IFPA state rep, this is Only the TPF TD 's ban and is indefinite.
This apparently stems from the Houston Arcade show where I refused to be a sponsor if another arcade was sponsoring them.
Apparently I am an asshole.

What about the person posting memes of boys dressed as girls, but using it to make a homophobic insult? Also disgusting or is it just a joke?

4 pages of chatter and nobody has dropped a "first world problems" argument yet or complained about gas prices or brought up woke culture. This place constantly surprises me. Carry on.

Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense!

Sorry to disappoint you:

Quoted from woody76:

IFPA and much of the pinball community are woke and weak. I have to admit the world has gone soft for the most part. To get banned for that innocent meme is weak. Maybe there is more to the story, but if this meme was the reason that is insane.

Quoted from gambit3113:

You just got called a dick, or got fired for being a dick. Yes, you have a right to be a dick. And yes, I have the right to not like you and exercise my rights, because you are a dick... Be a dick, get treated like a dick.

...which reminds me: Qapla'!!!

Ah, so that justifies your behavior and double standards, very cool and mature way to address that.

I got banned from buying donuts at Glorie's Whole Gloryhole & Empanada Cafetorium, and all I got was this woke HIPAA violation.

Fuckin HIPPPA. I knew it!

Also. Face diaper! I like how that got snuck in to the thread early on for no particular reason.

#167 1 year ago

I don’t know why you keep making these topics everywhere. You’ve already spread your BS all over Facebook.

I’m in a few Facebook groups with you and you seem like a very paranoid person and like to play the victim. I’d suggest sprinkling in a little accountability and it could be life changing for you.

#168 1 year ago
Quoted from LovelyCoCoNuts:

"It's come to our attention that you have made offensive comments regarding sexual orientation. Doing so is in violation of the IFPA Player Conduct, and thus, precludes you from participation in IFPA events, including the tournaments at the Texas Pinball Festival.
All players are expected to conduct themselves in a courteous manner and to contribute to a safe and welcoming play environment. This also applies to behaviors that are not related to gameplay.
Your entry fee for the TPF Classics tournament will be refunded "... blah blah blah blah
Sounds like he tried to ban me from all IFPA.... as a state IFPA rep... but he does NOT have that power.

Sorry, that's absurd you were banned for that
Humans are doomed

Who knew? Probably the third most common name after Dunkin' & Krispie...

Furries are okay by me. I loaned 4 of my pins to Furry Weekend Atlanta once, and they paid for a room for me and my son. They respected the games, and I got an experience I won’t forget. And I got to see a guy in a dog suit playing an accordion perfectly.

Totally agree with Isochronic_Frost, the parallels are perfect. We’re all weirdos spending crazy money on something nobody really understands.

Quoted from robotronjohn:

I believe this. We live in a world where special needs people are banned for life at events for smelling a shoe.

A little baking soda will help with the shoe smell.

Quoted from gambit3113:

You have every right to express anything you want. And everyone has every right to respond how they want to whatever it is you said. If what you said is generally disgusting/racist/sexist/offensive, then private persons have every right to choose to take whatever action they want within the limits of the law. You don't get to whine and cry for your rights, then demand that others exercising their rights are in the wrong. If you don't want to be fired or generally shunned, don't be an asshole. Or, if you wanna be an asshole, take your medicine.

This line of thought cuts both ways ironically, you have to concede that it's a sliding scale of morality. Everyone has a line that will be crossed, and to pretend that this is sustainable - that everyone can somehow accommodate everyone's subjective line of "offensive/racist/sexist/disgusting" is disingenuous.

In many cases these words have lost meaning because they are thrown around carelessly, because it's easy to tear something or someone down vs actually talking about things. We have crossed into a realm where a disagreement has made people mortal enemies vs having a productive discussion and that is a dangerous place to be headed.

Social media needs to die, and people need to wake up and realize you win by not playing the game.

I get you, but it's pretty easy to separate the "I made a mistake but I'm willing to listen/adapt/be more mindful" folks from the "My rights are being infringed!" folks. And yes, it cuts both ways. Try talking about [pinside prohibited topic] in a predominately [pinside prohibited topic]-believing community and you'll be ostracized. We understand that's true freedom of speech. Sucks to be on the receiving end, but it's liberating to say "I want nothing to do with you" to a jerk.

oh boy....furries.... yiff yiff

Thats all I'ma say about ya'll lol. Frost, you're cool

Yep, usually you can no matter the position it's easy to see who wants to learn and get along vs who doesn't. Having this discourse online really makes things worse because people can read into words and project emotions or motive.
It's liberating to cut people off, but it's also too easy to do this as well. I know people that cut off family and close friends over trivial things, all because we've adopted throw away convenience , usually reserved for cheap goods, into handling real relationships and it's just sad.

Klingon gloryholes...

You should hear the legends of a furry named Wolfy and his delicious pizza and bong rips

#193 1 year ago

This is one of those things where someone protests too much which makes you think they may be hiding something, even from themselves.

Ya know... "projecting" in psychology speak.

No thanks.

This thread has been cleared up as to the real reason I was banned.

1. After speaking to the other TD Texas Reps, this ban only applies to events where Colin is the presiding TD.

2. I no longer have to make an 8 hour trip.

3. I offended some furries, which I am sorry, you are all not bad, and I do not group you all into the same category, some have badass suits I can not afford.

4. I am an asshole. My gf doesn't think so

5. I am not a bronie.

I have my charity work and pinball, I do not think any other pinball league donates monthly to charities and is 100% free to play and enter.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

See ya'll at my free IFPA Charity Tournaments.

Every second saturday of each month.
