The thread is still there. It's accessible to anyone who wants to read it. Several topics in /faq speak directly to the issue as well.

We have very few rules here, and most visitors don't have an issue abiding by them. Nobody said the topic wasn't open for discussion, we only asked that it not be discussed further here. It was the best way to separate those who bitch for the sake of bitching and those with legitimate arguments. The latter will gladly write an email or visit the IRC channel.

"grow up,"

Oh, sorry, I was unaware that being an adult meant never disagreeing and arguing with people. I guess that the rest of the world is just misinformed.

"get over it,"

How about this: No.

"get over yourself"

Looks like the only person here that needs to get over their self is you. I was arguing with something said. Falcon responded in what I consider an intelligent and thoughtful way, and you came in with so much chest beating and threats. How mature of you. I understand that I am not entitled to anything on this site. But that doesn't mean you aren't being an asshole for acting the way you are.

"and have a nice day."

I am, but last I checked, I didn't need your permission to do so.

"I do not argue with people who do not treat my Moderators with respect. I remove them."

Oh, and I suppose that the "disrespect" was me putting the "-the fuck-" part in my comment eh? Or was it just the fact that I talked back? I mean, I could see if I had just been flaming and a nasty troll, but that comment up there warranted the threat of a ban? And I'm the one that needs to grow up and get over myself... well, I've argued with you, better go ahead and ban me now. "Ask and you shall receive."

No, I believe that that was Falcon's point, brown-noser, and >>44 was engaging in a completely different argument with Nadia. Try to keep up, and try not to brown nose so much.

>>46
And on that note, >>44 claims he can't disagree and argue, which is relevant to my point, which is that you can disagree/argue on this topic, in the irc channels and email. How am I off-topic?

>>44
Fine, if you insist, I'll just go over your points.

--Answered in >>47, key phrase "respecting the rules (unless there's no alternative)" : "There's a difference between brown nosing and respecting the rules of the site and moderators. You don't brown nose the law, you respect them. (unless there's no alternative, but that is not the case here)"

--The fact is that you posted (or continue to contribute) to a thread that should never have existed here. There are alternatives available, see first point.

--I believe that's a form of courtesy. Most company -based automatic email contains that message.

To sum it up basically, they've asked that we not discuss the cub/incest topic here, not that we couldn't discuss any other topic here. I never discussed the cub topic here, so what you're telling me isn't really relevant to anything.

Let's a huddle around the fireplace for a moment of candid honesty with the resident raptor, shall we? Maybe grab some cocoa, a little Bailey's...

I might come across as eloquent but trust me, it's not always easy. The deleted post before mine was written by me and wasn't so well thought-out. The line 'Do you really need to cause more drama...' is hard to read without feeling as though it were an accusation.

It's a rare occasion when Nadia posts these days, but her word is the one that carries the most weight. She might not have established Fchan, but she established the Fchan we know today.

I try my best to communicate with people and answer their questions. Sometimes it feels I do more harm than good by doing it. Every poster is an individual: some have legitimate queries, others try to goad us into arguing because they like the sound of their own voice. It takes a lot of experience and a good sense of politics to be an effective moderator. I've been trying to learn on the fly, so please bare with me.

There are only a few more points I'd like to make. The discussion of cub is banned. Period. There has been enough drama over this one subject to meet the quota for the next decade. Nobody complains to the city because they can't smoke in restaurants anymore. Nobody complains to YouTube because they can't post hardcore porn on the site. It's simple accepted as the way it is. This is the way it is here.

As for calling those who are equally tired of seeing this thread stay way off-topic 'brown-nosers', keep this in mind. It's kind of hard to gain anyone's favour by making an unsigned post.

Now let's all take a deep breath, think before we write (I know.. but I deleted it) and try to get along. This is one of the few places where a person can say 'sexy dragon cock' and not draw a bunch of disgusted, confused stares. I like to think of this place as a community. The less quarreling amongst ourselves, the better it is for everyone.

Once again, thank you if you took the time to read this. This place might make a bird want to pull his feathers out at times, but I wouldn't give it up for anything.
