Where'd "Oh No!!!" go?

[xortam]

Seems my thread got deleted. Hope it wasn't anything I said. I don't think I crossed the line on anything. Maybe somebody posted something evil since I last checked.

[Joel]

I deleted it. I feel that making jokes about Pedophiles is very inappropriate on these forums.

[xortam]

Jeesh Joel. I think my further participation in this forum is inappropriate. I can't be bothered with trying to keep up with your latest peeves. I never bothered with TSB until recent months. When things slowed down in the serious forums, I looked to TSB for some amusement. You've managed to squash that. Enjoy your little kingdom. I won't darken your doorstep again.

Joel, lighten up. Just a bit. Pedophiles are FUNNY.

Of course, that's in a world where:

FUNNY = Was on South Park

I'm sorry but I disagree with you. I don't find anything funny about Pedophiles. Maybe you just don't understand what one is.

Joel

[ayoub_ibrahim]

I agree with Joel.if you had to deal with the victims you won't find anything funny about paedophiles!!!!

[Pneumatic]

I agree with the motive, but was it necessary to delete a WHOLE monster thread to get rid of one or two posts?

[Gurm]

Leprosy is ugly, has killed thousands, but is also very funny.

Dead babies are sad and tragic - and also a source of wonderful humor material.

I didn't read the jokes in question, but I can think of a few really funny pedophile jokes. Yeah, they're in poor taste - so are dead babies, Hellen Keller jokes, leper jokes, cannibalism jokes, and a dozen other kinds.

In *mild* protest for the deletion of xortam's post:

Q: How do you get a thousand dead babies into a Volkswagen?

Q: What's more disgusting than a barrel full of dead babies?

Q: What's pink and red and sits in the corner?

Q: Why did the dead baby cross the road?

Q: What's pink and red and runs in a circle?

Q: What's easier to unload, a truck full of bowling balls or a truck full of dead babies?

My protest is not extreme, and therefore I will not provide the answers.

Moderating a joke thread, surely the hardest thing a mod could have to do.

I will only give my opinion. I did not see any jokes in this thread that hurted my feeling.

That's just my opinion. "Point à la ligne"

Kindness, First off it was not the monster thread that I deleted. The thread I delete had only about 10 post to it, 6 of those only contained one letter each, two post from xortam and the other two I can't recall at this time. Secondly, I would not have deleted that thread if xortam had not taken the time to elaborate on his original post. And thridly, the way some of y'all are acting about this you would have thought that I had burned the Constitution or the Magna Charta. I made a mistake alright? Maybe it would have been better just to have gotten rid of the one post but IMO I don't think it would have made a difference. I think I would have gotten blasted either way.

Vlip, you are perfectly right. Moderating a joke thread is going to be difficult. And IMO all I basically asked was for the guys to tone down the subject and language content because this is a public forum after all. And even though you may not have found anything in there that bothered you we must remember that this forum has over 6000 registered members and who knows how many vist that aren't registered.

er....

Are we a family forum?

Are we here to discuss MGA issues?

[The PIT]

Paddy. This the soap box where you can discuss any old rubbish within reason.
