Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:And who exactly is the arbiter of deciding who should be banished? What happens if falsely accused? Will there first be an opportunity to defend oneself? What are the specific rules that would cause one to be banished?
The mods/owners of the sites are, and they don't need to explain it to you because this isn't a courtroom, it's someone's website.
Jeez I think this has a ton to do with the magic girl thread which I didn't even see till now.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Part of the fun is giving each other a hard time and goading one another. Outsiders may perceive as hate, but insiders know that its all in clean fun and enjoy the sparring.
Completely agree...but I think that means you overlooking the fact all the mods know whom the jokey people are and who the real asses are. Of course we shall see.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Guess I may not be frequenting the same threads you are, as I would consider everything I read 95%+ positive on Pinside. Are you sure that some of us aren't a little too thin skinned?
Even I ( 
) get sick of the thick layers of shit sometimes. True, I could block people and drain threads but I think I've only blocked one person ever, and then unblocked them later.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:I will have to go check that out.
Start around here...looks like the spe.....er...the K-man got brought up and then all hell broke loose.
Quoted from Cornelius:A serious question, for those of you who don't have me on ignore:
What constitutes a troll?
To me the real problem is the broken record. For example;
Levi says some shit, so you say shit back to levi aboot him always saying shit, that makes everyone post more aboot it etc etc
Whom's to blame on that one? Not as cut and dry as you'd think.
Quoted from o-din:Edit- That pic, it was for like three posts ago. I can't fix it....
Yeah pics have been screwed up all day for me. Probably the purge
Quoted from Manic:Simple purge rules:
Anybody who uses "aboot"...ever. Is that some odd Canuck reference? It confuses me
Anybody that uses "immersive" more than once.
I'm the only one to say aboot and I've been doing it since before you where here buddy! 
To make a rule just against me would be racist.
But totally agree on the Immersive thing...worse than "World under glass." Fucking vomit.
Quoted from labnip:the US is doing mass deportation right now too...
something's in the air
Sweeping through Pinside
Quoted from herg:Insulting someone, then adding a smiley is not a good use, unless your intention is to be even more insulting.
Thanks for explaining the exact opposite way most people use emoticons!
Quoted from Cornelius:I just get tired of the same person flaunting their ability to get away with breaking Pinside rules, but whatever. I also get tired of being moderated, so I'm dropping it.
Quoted from Cornelius:So that's why I think Crazy Levi is being incredibly, sociopathically disingenuous in this thread, this thread about people being cool with one another.
Man you made it like 12 hours too 
Quoted from Manic:You mention him in *every* post and this kind of personal animus should be taken to PM's and then you can battle it out. If that's what you are determined to do.
Or better yet... just move on. Life's too short.
Well the problem is Levi has him blocked so he cant PM him. But anyway yes the main point is to move on. Cornelious doens; t like to block people and I get that, but sometimes you just have to because it cuts into your fun. I've done it once for someone on here whom was completely and utterly insane; and it helped.
Levi is whom he is, he isn't going to change so just stop trying to make him do it. It's like the price police; they show up an mention something and then the freedom fighters bitch aboot it but it just makes the whole thing worse.
Quoted from pinball_keefer:Well, I for one greatly appreciate pinside trying to make the place better. I hope it does become more of a place of respectful and insightful discourse and look forward to hopefully being a part of it again.
Naw, you'll still be able to talk down to everyone 
Quoted from Cornelius:Hey congrats on all those upvotes shootthepyramid !
I guess I'm not wanted here.
You're a fine person, I enjoy many of your posts, you just need to get over the Levi thing man. Don't fight the good fight, just relax 
EDIT: Edit sorry 2 posts in a row
Quoted from dmbjunky:What was the deal with superleague anymore? I've forgotten.
They get double dick points for league but they sucked out a Stern bonus multiplier that take the scores up 10X!
Then they pay monies and get more <----I MADE THAT UP
Quoted from Cornelius:I'm a lightning rod for people to get upvotes over. Congrats shootthepyramid , you won the popularity contest.
Haha shootthepyramid winning popularity contest...WOW thats news to me as well
Quoted from Cornelius:This place is a popularity contest.
HOLD ON HOLD THE FUCK ON
EDIT: ha...had to get your attention. Anyway, the world is a popularity contest....it's the thread that keeps the whole world running.
But i digress...Jump in the Way-Back machine and lets head 4 years back to this....

Quoted from iceman44:Cue up the Stripes video
Can we at least agree that "Stripes" is the most overrated classic comedy?
Quoted from Cornelius:I'm tired of pinball. Just fighting games from now on.
Hmmm corny a Gingy...didnt see that cumming
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Sorry. Ghostbusters is that way.
Yeah but at least Stripes was a better pinball machine 
Quoted from iceman44:Adios Mr. Douglas from Falling Down!
That was a GREAT movie...joel fucking Shucmacker can you believe it?
Quoted from chadderack:Keith's a big boy, though... I'll bet comments like "you can still talk down to people" didn't offend him too much.
Well at least you didn't get too sycophant(ic?) there 
Quoted from chadderack:I got pounded in the pills by the #2 and #3 ranked players in the state,
HOLY SHIT dude...seriously all the best Utah players where there?!?!?! 
It's a fucking jo0ke people...everyone relax. 
. Apologies where they're needed.
Quoted from pacmanretro:Seriously?! That's crazy! Related to the beer? Lol
Hall no I don't think it's the beer...just crazy parents...mostly in poor places.
Still is a chuck e cheese near me and I've always wanted to go check it out but never have. Had many a b day party there as a kid and loved it. Although we had a competitor place around here Captain Andys that was better
Quoted from pacmanretro:Captain Andy's. Love hearing about different local places like that!
Yeah their big shtick was baskets of popcorn given out and you could throw it on the floor and shit...Pretty exciting as a kid 
Edit: might have been a chain? Here's some info on a Baltimore location with same name...your welcome for some terrifying pictures 
Quoted from Cornelius:Plus, the whole thing with people gleefully saying "get on with the purge!" is just kinda like.... what's the point? I guess you're not going to use that ignore function after all?
It means I'm sick of hearing aboot it endlessly...let's do this.
Pinball hobby has even come down to pre-ordering user suspensions
Quoted from pmWolf:(On our very first date, I took Julie out to see Street Fighter the Movie, starring Jean Claude Van Damme. She didn't instantly leave me, so I married her.
Poor girl).
It's hard to walk out on a date in a theatre, but trust me leaving during the laserdisc presentation of Street Fighter is much easier for dates, friends, family members...etc
pets...
Man Nemisis was a disaster when it first came out, but you know I watched it not long ago and actually really enjoyed it.
At the time it was supposed to be this big thing and it didn't live up to the hype at all. Then I watched it more like a standard everyday episode and finally let it in. There's an obvious allegory in there somewhere but I have to go take out the trash now and I have no time to look for it.
Quoted from Colsond3:Xerico's opening post said the list would be compiled and the purge would occur by "sometime this Spring."
Who knows when it will actually happen, or the amount of posts we will have to endure from those being purged until then.
Or if anyone actually gets purged
Quoted from metallik:Biggest problem with pinside are the idiots who spend hours reading the dumpster fires, then more hours complaining about those same threads.
Or the ones that constantly interject themselves and think everyone is talking aboot them.

Quoted from SuperPinball:... For example "this game is a steaming pile of sh*t" vs " I don't like to play that game". Keep in mind that the amount of money that some of these games go for can be quite substantial and no one wants to hear that after spending $8K on a NIB that they bought a turd.
You are not the game you bought for 8K. If you're emotionally crippled enough that this is really a big deal other people don;t like the game, you are the problem.
I have a TZ, it is expensive, many people do not like it at all; I do not care. <-- it isn't hard.
Quoted from SuperPinball:So you see absolutely nothing wrong with adults supposedly having an intelligent conversation regarding a new machine and someone telling another person that the game they just paid $8K for is a "F*n Turd"? And the person who bought it is the problem? Wow
As with anything, it depends on the context, and a macro vs micro situation.
Quoted from Dr-Willy:I think this more applies to people who go around to 10, 20, or 30 threads that are remotely related to that particular game, spewing their hatred for it.
Which has to do with this, which we'll discuss in a second.
As to your specific question; correct, I see nothing wrong with that.
If it's the "swearing" that you find unintelligent Then I can't comment on that, lots of people swear.
If you said "I just bought a GB LE."
The first thing I would say is "What a piece of shit, I couldn't sell that thing fast enough."
(If this automatically makes our conversation unimaginable to you than we wouldn't be talking much anyway, we probably wouldn't get along)
"Oh you didn't like it?"
"Nope not fun for me."
"Gotcha"
That's a fine conversation to me, and literally happens quite a bit (people liking diff'rent things). If this conversation actually involved how much monies you paid for something and how that relates to your feelings, I wouldn't talk to you again; that's just weird.
Back to Willy's point, if someone hates a game they can go in as many threads as they want to explain it to me. I'd imagine the thread includes people saying how much they like it just as often so tit for tat.
Now the micro aspect of continually trolling one person with your thought on the matter is where it gets obnoxious and an issue. EDIT: Like, I think toppers and mirror blades are dumb, but I don't go in a thread for someone selling them and talk aboot how stupid they are; that's rude and doesn't help anyone.

That guy is a mother f'ing cyber stalker of all sorts.
