kkeenan 14 #1 May 8, 2007 I've always been one to try to follow the rules, so I'm trying to understand the Personal Attack guidelines as they are applied to the Bonfire Forum. Now, let's say some DZ.com member fatally shoots another in a fight in a gay bar. The shooter can be called an "alleged murderer", once his picture is in the paper and on CNN. However, he can not be referred to as a "murderer" unless and until he is convicted. And he certainly could not be called a "motherfuckin' psycho" unless there were the appropriate convictions, in court, of charges involving his mother and mental health experts testified as to his psychoness. Then there's the problem of a jumper killing another and then killing themselves in the process. I guess since there is no trial, then you can't legally call anyone names, no matter how much of a murderin' psycho they are. I suppose it's a good thing that Mr. Cho, of VA Tech fame wasn't a DZ.com member. can see how many other members would be conflicted in their verbal choices when it came to discussing him. I think I feel better now that I've worked through the logic of this in my mind. I guess I have issues with some current events, and I'm glad that my DZ.com friends and kindly Moderators are here to help.

skymama 37 #11 May 8, 2007 One should be able to express his or her views on a subject without resorting to calling people names. I don't understand why that is so hard to follow. Isn't that something we all learned in Kindergarten?She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RkyMtnHigh 0 #15 May 8, 2007 Bill never answered me in the now locked thread...is Butt Cheetoh or Whackadoo considered to be a PA? I suppose I can assume that because I didn't get a resounding Yes from Bill that it's okay.. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 891 #17 May 8, 2007 this ain't kindergarten! The specific use of speculation is not listed as banned behavior, calling someone a name such as "crazy" is only that, is it not? Legally it is...
