Where has slimshaydee been you ask?
 

none of your fucking business you fucking cunts.

have you been missing?

move over dave chappelle we have a new king of comedy.

and that's why i avoid this particular forum.

How'd those exams go slimshaydee?

Over the study?

Man.. can you leave again? It was so nice for a while.

I concur.

This, and the "cunt" thread...

Very high-brow indeed.


Mr Mephisto

If you guys are above all this childish humour, why do you keep coming back to tell us?

hes got a good point there...

thank you very much - I'm here all day!

hehe lois is getting spanked by brian
comedy gold.

I've said nothing before that post. There's no "keep coming back".

I'm telling you nothing.


Mr Mephisto

Yes, and the American government are trying to protect the world.

"keep coming back" was the wrong phrase. I guess I don't see the point of coming in, saying "I'm above this" and leaving.

Now, I know you didn't literally say "I'm above this", but that is pretty much what your post says.

If you don't like it, don't get involved.

i didnt even realise he had gone :P

Inane threads that contribute nothing don’t deserve to be chastised? Thank fucking god you're not a moderator.

In fact, based on board rules and as per past decisions in other boards on TFP, they should in fact be deleted.

Indeed.

Mr Mephisto

this thread has become disgusting.

sure, its completely inane.
but that is not a reason for trolling, bullying and abuse.
those things have no place in this forum.

take that sort of behaviour outside. (which is the Australian way!)

What do you think the Nonsense forum is? Now maybe these threads are in the wrong forum, or maybe they are going over the line (as bundy's said). Or maybe they're actually stimulating conversation (no matter how childish) in a forum that's gotten pretty quiet lately.

Maybe it'd be more active if this and the cunt thread didn't exist, maybe not. Meri's dropped off the face of the earth, cchris is never around, Ella's got a guy keeping her busy, slim's not around as much... For all of those I don't see the cunt thread or this thread being at fault. And those guys, cinnles, spindles, bundy, Stick (and more recently dlishguy, Ishmael, Seeker) are the major contributors to this forum. As far as I can tell, no one's left the Australia Forum because of the Cunt thread (this thread's probably too recent to count).

You judge me on a small percentage of posts... what I've said in this and the cunt thread. meh.

I am a moderator....but really didnt think it my place to delete the threads in here. its a pity this forum has taken a dive....and if you all think it can be improved by killing off the fat....let me know.

Thanks for the input tecoyah. :)

Honestly, I think some people are overly prudish about puerile humour. It's all too common in a world gone mad with political correctness.

So bing bing, you of course have a right to give your opinion on others' contributions, but coming along and saying "this is stupid" is about as productive as voting for the family first party. If you think your chastisements are going to change people's attitudes, pass the crack pipe to the left.

If you want to do something productive and lift the brow of this forum, start a thread. :)

As stated in previous threads, poking fun at political correctness is a form of Australian humour. I for one love it because it reassures me we're not completely overrun by totalitarian empires to the point where joking about it would be treason.

Political correctness has nothing to do with an observation.

If a thread title that invites interest leads to a one line comment of "none of your fucking business you fucking cunts.", then it is anyone and everyone's entitlement to comment thereon.

The thread had no purpose and, as such, was posted in the wrong forum.

I'm not chastizing anyone. And if you think your support for "purile humour" [sic] is going to change people's attitudes, pass the crack pipe to the left.

Hello pot. Hello kettle.

Well, I haven't started many threads in this forum simply for the reason that it's inane. I've noticed a handful of interesting topics, but mostly it's nonesense. So what? That doesn't mean I can't comment when I wish to.

And, for the record, your post has lifted this thread into an interesting debate. Now it's interesting. Beforehand it was embarrassing.

Indeed.


Mr Mephisto

it never ceases.

tecoyah, please kill off the fat, lest this place become a sad imitation of the old politics forum, where bullying, trolling and picking inane fights used to be commonplace.

this forum, sadly, needs serious attention.

Thanks cinnles, bundy.

I'll stop discussing/arguing/debating/whatevering about this.

Actually, I may be a tad puerile, but I actually found it more amusing than one of those long winded answers to a question noone asked. ;)

Perhaps it should've been posted in the humour forum?

Funnily enough, this thread has as much purpose as any other thread, in that it stimulated discussion. :icare:

discussion???

we've got mods watching us now...

**points at Tecoyah**

if it was just normal discussion THAT wouldn't happen. this thread has stimulated argument!!!

I only posted it in this forum because this is the only place where I'm known. I generally don't post in the other forums.

In that case, it's an observation and not an answer. ;)

It wasn't. It was posted in a "regular" forum.

If someone started a thread with a one line post of " "none of your fucking business you fucking cunts." in the Members or General fora they would be bitch slapped pretty damn quick.

Well, as I said, now it's actually interesting. Now we're actually discussing things. :) That is, rather than simply posting pointless profanities.

Where's the humour in that?


Mr Mephisto

Have you ever read sexy losers? If not, in one series of strips there's a character who's entire purpose is to come out with profanity. Done well, it's quite funny (to someone as childish as me at least). :lol:

The Australian forum is different...up until now posting like this has been completely acceptable, and encouraged even ;)

thats true... c the campfire archives for proof of that!!!

id agree 110% with slim. its the 'australian way'. those that dont want to contribute dont have to. and those that are offended are more than welcome to stay away. if we are comfy basking in our own glory of calling each other 'cunts'..who gives a fuck? as long as were happy with it, then its fine by us. most of what is said is done in humour. but 'aussie humour' belongs in the aussie forum...

flamen oath

slimshaydee, dlishsguy and ishmal

When did I ever say you shouldn't post what you like? I said I didn't find it funny, and I'm not the only one.

So, to bring it down to your level, get down off your fucking high horses, you cunts, and stop being such mongrels.


Mr Mephisto

this 'discussion' sucks, we should go back to cursing one another :D lol

What in god's name has happened to this place?

We're Aussies for fuck's sake. I don't believe in deleting threads, but for the sake of all things holy leave let this one die. Slim would be rolling in his grave...

Slim's not dead... yet.

More's the pity.

"bring it down to your level". Fantastic.

Now this really does suck. To sit down and analyse how and why we post as we do takes all the fun out of it. This place has peaks and troughs. So what?

I'm flat out in all aspects of my life and have very little time for the interweb anymore. When I do come to the Aussie forum, I like to turn my brain off for a while. If I want to use it, I'll post elsewhere on the board. And I'm certainly not modifying that behaviour for anyone!
