I've been here a little over 8 years now and been calling you a racist bigot since day 1 nothing has changed. Like I said if the cap fits, wear it.

And I've been hearing about that true colours bullshit since the day I walked in, 8 years is a long time to be puttin' up an act for absolutely nothing at all.

And yeah the red squares don't mean nothing thats why the few I have, more than half are from you since day 1, your petty way of getting back at someone after getting butt hurt when you can't any other way. And now this.

Carry on .....Sheriff

If you want to really make me look bad and bigoted about you then behave yourself.

By the way, I haven't done anything about the PM you sent to me. If I were truly out to 'get you' then that would have been an easily justifiable ban.

I really mean it when I ask you to calm down and just cut it out with the personal insults.

I do not agree with much of what you say anymore but you are a valued member of the forum and you do add to the place with your viewpoints.

Kindly just take a breath, count to ten, and go from there, okay?

Oooo I'm scared, threats of getting banned now because I told you to F'Off with your warning, not like you've ever said it to anyone here before.

Make my day. Go ahead and do it.

[BartSimpson]

Seriously, just calm down.

Ban 'em all, BArt! I got a warning from your counterpart there for calling a troll a "troll." Despite the fact he was calling Charles a troll last week. YOu guys seemed detmerined to ruin the final vestiges of this place. Perhaps for the best.

The CBC rushes to tell us what the real problem is regarding the Marissa Shen rape/murder case. Forget about 13 year old Marissa and her family, here's what we really need to be concerned about:

Syrian community fears scapegoating after man new to Canada charged with murder of Marrisa Shen

Meanwhile here at CKA the Cadre of Concerned Canadian Progressives (AKA the new CCCP) tells us the real problem is another 'fake but accurate' meme.

In what way is the fake quote in which he allegedly offers to make personal restitution accurate? Doesn’t even make sense

Civility!!!

Oh FFS stop taking yourselves so seriously you two, stop trying to show off you are the new CO's of this prison. I just noticed me and a lot of others have warnings now ( first time since Ive had one since I've been here in almost 10 years ) because Mr Snowflake got butt hurt and locked the thread, so he can't get called out on his bullshit anymore.

First he was acting like a wimp by throwing around red squares and now since he has new "powers" he goes around "warning" everybody.

Fuck civility, this place is a distraction from real life and if you can't let loose here and blow some then whats the point, and this coming from an outsider who has been through the grinder here at the grumpy old white men club a.k.a CKA.

Oh yeah, guess I'll be getting another "warning" now again, eh!

I'm only doing what I was conscripted to do. People have been sending me PMs for a long time about the state of discourse that has driven many of our valued members off the board.

I'm trying to encourage actual debate and discourage the schoolyard taunting. If the taunting isn't dealt with, it only leads to more bad behaviour. We see that time and again.

If people don't want this, let the Moderators know. We'll back off.

Back Off!

And what PMs there are like 10-15 active people left on this board, and people didn't leave because of "bad behaviour" and that happened a couple of years ago

I had a PM on the 9th, from a member who used to post frequently, but now doesn't. It went into detail why they don't post much anymore but they still care enough to visit often to see if things have changed. The climate around here was one of intimidation and that was the reason they and a few others were considering cutting ties.

Many of the PMs I've had were from similar members, ones who don't post, but still visit to see if things have changed. Sometimes I get messages outside of CKA from people I know personally saying the same things. So, I am trying to change things to entice them back.

If people want CKA to wither and die, just say so. Until then, the Mods will keep giving it CPR in the hopes it starts breathing again on its own.

Online civility is another great example of an oxymoron. That being said, I say that trying to change things around is a good thing. I don't go around in life insulting people... why would I do that online?

[llama66]

Seriously? Jesus fuck, all y'all need a fucking hug. DD stop starting shit and listen to the mods, Bart don't let DD stick the stick in the cage. I come here for a good time, so if some people think they are going to fuck with my good time they have another thing coming.

Fucking Christ.

Exactly. We can insult people, but our own self respect means we don't. Especially when they really really really need a good insulting.

Thanks for the support.

Trevor, Hyack, Dr. Caleb, Strutz, and myself are trying to balance having a free and open exchange on CKA with one where people aren't subjected to unprovoked and unwarranted personal insults.

To paraphrase one of our members from a long time ago:

"The trick is to disagree without being disagreeable."

Being spit on by a Llama is not a nice experience.
