Topic: Intellectual Property - In All Fairness! - page 72. (Read 105875 times)

Actually, now that I look at that forum it seems the rules are kind of a joke. I see AyeYo being his typical self calling people idiots, etc.

Also, AyeYo will pretty much have to stop posting.

If I see one, I'm going to delete it and dock points. I will not catch all of them but I'll try.

I'm sorry if this seems excessive, but I am really sick of wasting time/bandwidth/the health of my carpal tunnels by defending myself against wrongheaded assumptions that have been either deliberately or erroneously assigned to something I've written.

In fact, while you're at it, why don't you just copy/pasta the OP of this thread start a thread there.  We can see how this conversation unfolds with a large group of new people.


Even better ones would the global warming thread, US dollar thread, or the next 100 years thread.

I didn't start this thread and completely disagree with the first post, why would I do that?

Heated discussions are permissible; however keep it under control and respectful at all times. Do not flame people, and do not instigate fights. Replies are allowed, but remember that respectful conduct is expected. If you disagree with a post, just state your own opinion and reasons for thinking so. Spirited discussions are welcome but do not intentionally start or perpetuate antagonistic or inflammatory threads, particularly those directed at another member. In particular, when someone posts personal insults or attacks, it is better NOT to reply (which can escalate the hostility), but rather, to report the post to a moderator (see the "Contact Us" section below for additional details).

Harassing, intimidating, stalking or threatening other community members is not permitted and will not be tolerated.

No Personal Attacks - Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we must respect them. Any derogatory remarks will possibly result in one of the following:
- PM warning
- Locked thread
- Deleted post
- Deleted thread
- Infraction
- Ban

2. Intelligent Discussion - This forum is designed to give Honda-Tech users a chance to debate/discuss political matters in an intelligent and mature manner. Please refrain from "flaming" a user for their beliefs. There is a difference between expressing opinions and blatant "flaming"

3. Keep It On Topic - We all need to stop going on tangents in a thread. There are too many threads that contain the same debates and they are repeated over and over. This needs to stop.

4. Enjoy Yourselves!!

I'll make you a deal. If you stop the insults here, I'll join the forums there. I'll lay down some ground rules and if you agree to them, I'll join the forums. I'll take your hesitancy to agree to some basic rules as an indication that you know your arguments can't stand on their own merits.

We'll follow the rules of the honda-tech forum. I don't know what they are, but I'm willing to agree to their rules (nor yours) without even having read them.

As I stated above, I'm not engaging in personal attacks. I will take your hesitancy to join the honda-tech forum as an indication that you are afraid to float your ideas in any environment other than here.

That's a riot coming from you. You really have no sense of irony.


We could just follow the same rules they follow. Why do we need to join a different forum just for you to stop engaging in personal attacks?

Obviously it was directed at responses like this one, which boils down to the childish, "I know you are, but what am I!"

bitcoin2cash,

Join the above politics forum, and I will join it as well. Feel free to invite others who have participated in this thread. Hopefully, AyeYo will join in as well. You will then have the opportunity to show how immature AyeYo and I are to others.

I'm glad you at least realize that what you and FirstAscent are doing is anything but.

Better yet, I'd like to see him (and you as well) sign up over on Honda-tech, where politics are actually debated intelligently.  He can make a couple threads over there and we'll see what the (fairly representative of the US population, some wacko liberatrians included) crowd has to say about his idea.

where politics are actually debated intelligently

This is the level of debate your side brings. It's no wonder that you have trouble understanding mature arguments.
