Fenris, you are a master of stating the obvious. Congratulations! Yes, it's his pool, it's
CRSP's board, blah-blah-blah. Are you just copying and pasting from the cuntlapper's posts in the SDMB? Or maybe you're doing one of those clever meta-irony things and I'm being whooshed. :smash:

No--see, you seem to be arguing that somehow your opinion of what constitutes "risk" to McNutty matters. I'm saying: it doesn't and shouldn't.
Regarding normal board stuff, yes. Posters absolutely matter. But when it comes to the functioning of the hardware and the safety of McNutty and family, your/our vote is irrelevant.
If the posters here decide that in the interests of transparency, McNutty needs to post his name/address/phone number and carry a pager at all times, he'd be within rights to say "Fuck off". And if the posters here for whatever reason decided to say "Well, we should allow people to post links to kiddie porn", he's still within his rights.

So if McNutty all of a suddent thinks "it's risky to make fun of scientologists" or "it's risky to talk about music downloads" or "it's risky to joke about waterboarding Cheney" then he'd be within rights to say "Fuck off"? Yes I understand that. I also understand that he might be stupid to think that, and I would post it if I thought it was stupid.
His idea that if someone posts a link to an unsafe image, he will end up in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison is just that: stupid.

Can you get any more dramatic? Perhaps you can conjure a scenario where McNutty and family (including charming smiling blonde-haired blue-eyed moppets) are being held prisoner in a dungeon and only Fenris posting in About Domebo can save them? :roll:

So? Offer your own server and allow kiddie-porn links to be posted or are you not willing to put your money where your mouth is?

Sarcasm is a powerful and terrifying weapon, young padwan. Come back when you've learned to use it.

If you had bothered to read this thread, you would have seen that I already have. :P

And why don't you come back when you've learned the intricacies of ubb coding.

Good. Seriously. That sounds great. It's not like hosting this site is some big privilege for McNutty. He hasn't printed up business cards or added it to his CV or gone on a guest lecture circuit. So far what it's gotten him is a little extra work (he doesn't mind), a slower server for his personal use, and a bunch of crap from you.
I'm a little concerned that it might be somewhat difficult for you since you seem to have a limited understanding of the mechanics of hosting a board.

Um, nice comeback. :roll: That Fenris is just such an idiot when it comes to using message boards.
All that said, I think it's time for me to stop feeding the troll. Apparently I have a passel of blond haired blue eyed moppets I should be looking after instead.

I've been told that it's against the rules to call someone a troll outside the 'Dome, but I think the mods are too busy thinking about ways to boot me to notice anyone trying to start fights with me.
Re: Regarding the potential banning of Misanthropic Contrarian
It's hard to imagine people trying to start fights with you, Truth & Beauty, because you're in the middle of all the fights on this board (usually that you have started with your "disingenuous," oh-so-innocent question asking). How would they get a fight-starting wedged into all that?

The logs are more like 50 times the size of the database, genius.

Clearly.
Listen, I hear your complaint. You want a board where posting child porn or links to it (or threatening to do that) is allowed. Make it happen. I'm not holding anyone hostage. There are several people who are perfectly capable of copying the board to a different server in order to get out from under my iron fist should you get their support. But I'm afraid it's going to take more than one lone shit-stirrer to get this worthy cause off the ground. Good luck.

Glad to hear it, I think most of us appreciate your help and assistance very much.

McNutty, I didn't come in here to start a fight with you. I appreciate you hosting the board on your server. Would someone else do as good a job as you do? Probably not, you are willing to donate a lot of time to the maintenance of the board. I appreciate it.
With that being said, I disagree with you on a minor point: I don't want a board where posting child porn is allowed. I don't want a board where links to child porn are allowed. But I think if someone threatens to do it, they should not be banned until they actually do it. That's where we differ. If they do it (post child porn), I would not argue with the owner of the server giving any information logged about that account to the authorities if necessary.
