Holy shit, this thread got REALLY DUMB in the last 8 hours.
Hey mods, I really think you overall do a very good job. What are you supposed to do when a person repeatedly and aggressively steps over the lines of good taste and disrupts, insults and overall makes the boards a more unpleasant place to be? If Flanz wasn't calling someone an Ann Coulter, he was telling them to die in a fire. Or choke on their own vomit. Or whatever creative way he could think of to lash out at people that day. Everyone is so eager to defend freedom of speech, but is it too much to ask to have a relatively peaceful little fraction of the internet set aside to discuss a place we've all experienced joy? Sometimes I enjoyed the perspective Flanz brought to the table. Some (most of the) times, he was a horribly insensitive douche with no filter. 90% of the people rushing to his aid are just enjoying the worthless argument that has evolved from his short departure.
No, the mods may not be perfect, but who is? I think the work they've done in at least the 7 years I've been visiting these boards has been exceptional. For the most part, I've been able to use Inforoo as an escape from daily life to think about all the facets of my upcoming June vacation. This thread has reminded me that there are as many uneducated, misinformed and generally tasteless people here as anywhere else. It's honestly terribly disappointing.
For the record, Flanz is the antithesis of a saint. His recent situations are just a vehicle for the majority of you to trumpet your theories on free speech and digital oppression. Get over yourselves and try to make this small community better. For the most part, you're lessening my opinion of you with every reply.
Mommy loves your poopy pants. Big boy poopied in his poopy pants and mommy loves you for it.
I find it interesting that only men seem to be voicing their opinion on the use of the word and throwing c-word around like candy. I'm glad everyone's missed the point
I love you.
The c-word isn't just a bad word or a casual insult, as so many seem to be wanting to cast it. It's an incredibly hateful gender slur that makes me cringe. It degrades a woman down to nothing but a dirty sexual orifice, a piece of shit. And I really wish all of these "enlightened, progressive thinkers" around here would realize how misogynistic that word is. Our language often demonstrates just how little we think of women in this culture, momma jokes because it's ok to insult mothers but not fathers, using "pussy" to describe being a coward when many women are incredibly brave and strong, this attitude that "cunt" is perfectly acceptable, all demonstrate a glaring insensitivity and underlying acceptance of putting women down for fun, for insulting each other. I find it very upsetting and troubling that my male, and some women, friends on this board even remotely think that word is harmless. It's beyond what I ever expected to see so casually thrown about on this board. I have been avoiding inforoo somewhat because of all this.
Bitch is an insult, broad is slightly offensive. Cunt, on the other hand, is a gender slur that shouldn't be acceptable, just as other words are incredibly racist, homophobic, or hatefully degrading against a group of people. On top of that, it's absolutely unnecessary for people to use it to get their point across. Many other classier ways to insult someone if that's what you need to do.
Oh it's real, it's just held together with whiskey and regret.
Whiskey is best tempered with remorse and introspective self flagellation. The scars last longer and the morter sets better. Walls are there for a reason.
Also, a cube or two of ice: keeps you about your business. Can't sit around and let that dilute your beautiful brown poison. Drink up before it becomes weak tea.

(Something about flanzo. There.)
But regret fills the cracks in the walls better. Either way, I'm always up for a new kind of self degradation. Who knows, it might taste like love.
Always one cube of ice. And the object of the game is to finish just as it melts. Perfect combination.
Flanzo's still grounded. Someone stomp their feet. Someone else rejoice.

Blasphemy! It should be drank neat!
Blah blah blah it's derby day and I want a mint julep blah blah blah.
One good solid permanent one would be quite enough, imo. imho
I don't think I've had an interaction with you on this board, whether civil or confrontational, yet you constantly give your input on me deleting my account. I don't know if it's a lame attempt at being funny or something, but you should really lay off

Just popping in here to voice support for Flanzo. Instead of unsuspending him maybe the mods should reevaluate what they find "rude" on this board so next time they don't unfairly target people who can be obnoxious sometimes. This board needs obnoxious sometimes. If you want a peaceful non offensive place to congregate, try a book club. This is the internet.
