— Ace Although things get heated, no one has the right to behave like a creepy internet weirdo, getting unwarrantedly, aggressively sexual with female commenters.
And when a coblogger tells you to chill out, he's speaking for me, effectively. That's a bad time to double-down on weirdness in some jagoff attempt to prove you're "too tough to take an advisory."
That is a good time to take the night off.
If you defy his caution, you just earned strike two, and strike three will depend on my mood when I hear of it.
This site is not, in fact, "Race to the Bottom, and the Lowest Common Denominator Shall Make the Rules for Everyone Else."
I will enforce a certain standard of behavior, without regret.
I have stated this position repeatedly: In real life, we exclude weirdos, assholes, and racists from our daily lives. The Coalition of Assholes, having been excluded from all decent society in real life, continues asserting that in this one place -- the Internet -- they are free to flout social conventions and common courtesy without repercussion.
Because, Free Speech!!! B-b-b-but you can't exclude me, I've been excluded from everywhere else, this is all I have left!
Yes. There's a reason for that, but no, that doesn't mean the rules are different due to some hardship clause.
You also have "free speech" in real life but that doesn't obligate anyone to hang out with you or let you play their reindeer games.
Free speech is a right, but there is another equally important right that the Free Speech whiners never want to talk about: The right to Free Association, and to set the rules for one's clubs, and exclude those who do not fit the club or do not abide by the rules.
Stop telling me about your rights of "Free Speech" and start observing that other people have a right to Free Association.
And if you're going to be a dick, don't expect to be invited into the gang.
Let Me Explain This: We hate this.
No one likes these confrontations. No one likes having to play Den Mother or School Principle or Blog Nag.
We hate that. No one likes doing this. That's why some borderline stuff is ignored -- because we'd like to pretend it didn't happen, for the sake of avoiding confrontation, scolding, and drama.
So when someone is roused enough to overcome their reluctance to step in, that means a commenter has done something special.
And that means that the coblogger (including me) giving the warning is already upset to be forced into this unwanted position. To be forced to have to start talking about rules and common courtesy and the history of racist caricatures and the rest of it.
That means that what is usually ignored has become too aggressively anti-social to be ignored further, and the person issuing the warning is already pretty damn put-out that he has to lecture an adult as if that adult were a child.
And that is really a bad time to double-down on cutesy "can I touch the line this much?" games and catcalls and the rest of it.
A warning is a warning. Take it as such. It's not something anyone likes doing. If a warning has been issued, try to look past ego and consider "Maybe that was out of line and unnecessary. Maybe I've had a little too much to drink. Maybe I'm letting a little too much private-life anger stink up everyone else's day."
Please stop with the reflexive list of rights believed to be possessed and consider duties and responsibilities, and the counterbalancing rights of others.

That's the part that gets me the most: People who come here and get all pissy about Ace setting the rules for playing in his sandbox. HOW DARE HE! they scream.
They act as if it's an obligation to show up here everyday. It's like the assholes who inflict anti-smoking rules in restaurants and bars: They seemingly can't conceive of the notion that they have a right NOT to patronize the establishments where smoking is allowed.
But, but...I might want to eat there some day. I might want to harass someone on that blog.

Yeah, he was multi-tour too--a helicopter pilot. Came back nuts, drug addicted, alcoholic. Decided to hate everyone even if we did everything we could. Had mom sign papers saying she wouldn't be notified as next of kin, ignored dad's funeral and brother's funeral. Don't know if he's dead or alive. He is, however, one scary s.o.b.

my friend is only a couple years older than i am. a contractor and the friend who calls me from Various places in the world where he serving to talk, because i think hes lonely, and because hes HORRENDOUSLY difficult as a human being, and has not real home any more.
Hes great at what he does. But tho i can say this friend is really awesome in some ways and a decorated hero, his best friend from work and his wife got in a huge fight over whether he was an asshole, or "just a really big jerk"
If you watch Firefly, hes like Jayne Cobb made into a real person.
Like i said. Its possible that other than one other person who feels hes detrimental to his marriage, i could be his only friend.

I call fair use of reference.
Part of Carrie White's problem was that her mother would put her in the closet to pray, herself misinterpreting a verse from the Gospel of Matthew (6:6, I believe). Because the dumping of pig's blood was a proximate cause of the structure fire, coupled with misuses of metaphor as a root of Carrie's general lack of socialization, I say it's fine.

BTW, on Wein and Wien, Vienna was originally vineyard country at the E/W crossroads.

Memorial Day prayers for those not all the way back YET and those now being tediously processed by the Pabst Blue Ribbons to get a little dust out and missing a hundred yellow ones around the old oak tree.

I think ace's point about the right of free association is a great one.

A drive by to wish all of you good people a fine weekend, with perhaps a pause to remember and thank those who made it possible.

I got a yellow flag from Maet on the ONT once and my response was to apologize and then carry on with rest of my comments being more decorous. It's really not that difficult.

That was the thing that I found odd about lacey's comments. She felt like he wasn't getting away with something a girl would have, but moronettes have definitely gotten yellow cards before.

Hell, I got one just for snarking about New Orleans during the floods.

You are thinking too hard.

Damn, don't remind me. We've gotten some of that stuff down here in SE New Mexico half again as big as the bigger chunk he's holding. Needless to say, I'm in the market for a good roofer now...

I can be an asshole, but it's always provoked.
And this is why I never use real pictures.

In real life, we exclude weirdos, assholes, and racists from our daily lives. The Coalition of Assholes, having been excluded from all decent society in real life, continues asserting that in this one place -- the Internet -- they are free to flout social conventions and common courtesy without repercussion.
Preach it Brother.

Now I'm gonna be depressed all day. At least the bastard who was drunk got tossed.

It was only after things were going well for me that I started being a jerk. I know it's a nice stereotype to think that assholes online are losers with no life, but often times they actually have a fun life. Being an asshole is PART of their fun.
Some of the biggest jerks I've known are actually very successful.

Geez, Ace. I didn't do nothing, nobody saw nothing, you can't prove nothing. And yet you ban me...
Oh...
