Geez, you're busy with the banning today, Ace.

If I were king of the world, or you, and somebody left a comment that deserved a warning, they'd be banned, without a warning.

I'm an asshole that way. But you, you're all about the love and understanding and second chances today, I guess. What gives?

Banning is Ace's way of playing "hard to get".

Ace is hard to get??

;-)

Is it libel if we speculate if Cedarford's gay?

I'm just sayin'. . .

Umm, actually, yeah.

I only gave the first guy a second chance. Then some other asshole repeated the same thing. No warning for him.

But Ace, if we can't make slanderous remarks about certain posters questionable parentage, what are we supposed to do, what's the point? This will just become a smarter funnier version of the Corner. Who needs that.

Testing...testing...testing...

Ace, I never saw the original comment and didn't know the reference I commented on was the bad thing! Sorry!

Well, okay, jokes are allowed, as long as they're actually, you know, jokes.

No one is going to get sued for suggesting that Cedarford's mother makes a bit of extra money working the docks when the lobster boats come in, for example.

Use your discretion. If you're pretty obviously joking, fine.

If you're making a seriously-meant claim, well, truth may be a defense, but unless you can cite the evidence chapter and verse I'd rather not have it here. I don't need the headaches for the 130 bucks a month I make off BlogAds.

Don't just ban them, Ace. Tear out their still-beating hearts and use them to decorate your Wall of Dismemberment!

In other news, I think mean people are teh ghey.

I bet if I was a famous producer in Hollywood I'd have you hand feeding me grapes within the hour.

;-)

But for libel doesn't it have to be a negative thing?

So if Cedarford cried libel for calling him gay, couldn't we get him with a hate crime for implying gayness is bad?

Of course if we wanted to get Cedarford for a hate crime I suppose we could just point to his regular posts instead.

What if a certain somebody, another blogger just for example, said he wasn't going to visit your site or even mention your name for an entire week? Since he wouldn't be visiting the site, he wouldn't see that I speculated in print that he'd much rather take horse dick up his wazoo than even be with a female horse. Just askin'.

I love everything Ace does. Banning people...allowing Cedarford to stick around...fisking people...live-blogging some ridiculous TV show...I'm PRO-Anythingacedoes.

I'm shallow like that.

Personally, I've often suspected that C's parents were brothers. That kind of unwise inbreeding would explain a lot.

They might have been Jooish, too, but I'm not gonna go there. Because I don't want to be hurtful.

That's one of the major reasosn why I don't have comments enabled at all on my own site. I don't have the time (or, frankly, the inclination) to police the comments section. And that's not just for libelous stuff or gratuitous assholery; it's also the inevitable comment-spam.

Well...also because my blog is kind of like that blowsy run-down place at the end of the block in just about every neighborhood in America; the place that turns out to be a meth-lab and burns down before it can be raided by the fuzz. I would only get the snarky "why don't you update more often" comments, so why bother?

I'm also constantly amazed at how many people post this kind of crap anonymously. If you're going to poor-mouth someone or launch spittle-spraying screeds at them, at least have the common goddam courtesy to use your own name.

reasosn

Me not spell good.

CLARIFICATION: When I said that Jooos had infravision, I was making fun of Cedarford.

Just wanted to clear that up.

"a certain somebody, another blogger just for example"

You're not going to take that, are you Dave?

Could we go over the rules regarding use of "squeakhole"? That's still a little fuzzy to me.

it's also the inevitable comment-spam.

Then Monty goes on to promote his own site. Well, not promote so much as tell us how awful it really is, but he does advertise it in a queer kind of way.

What about vonkreedon? Are there any limits there?

Nope, I can say whatever I want about anyone.

Oh, and insert the following emoticon to the above comment:

[;-}

Come on, Ace - banning is so gay.

Oops.

Could we go over the rules regarding use of "squeakhole"? That's still a little fuzzy to me.

Don't give us that b.s. Dave. You've proven time and again you know how to abuse your squeakhole. And nobody wants to hear that it's a little fuzzy. Three words - Brazilian Wax Job.

compos mentis:

I find your japery and none-too-subtle homosexual innuendo to be quite beyond the pale. I plan to raise the issue with the House Comittee. No, by damn, I'll write a letter to the Times!

"And nobody wants to hear that it's a little fuzzy. "

LMAO.

Years ago, a stewardess sued a couple of pilots for spreading rumors she was gay. She lost b/c the court found it was no longer defamatory to be called gay. But, it was a state case and long ago, so don't rely on anything I write.

Don't give us that b.s. Dave. You've proven time and again you know how to abuse your squeakhole.

Exactly Dave's point. He needs to know how to use the sqeakhole, not abuse it. Let me tell you, the squeakhole is a jealous mistress. If you do not treat her with moderation and respect, the squeakhole, she will consume you.

Addiction is a terrible thing.

If I understand this correctly, you cannot make the claim that someone sucks cock but you are allowed to call someone a cocksucker. Its all about the context.

So I couldn't say that compos' mother actually sucked my cock, but I could call her a 'friendly' cocksucker?

Remember that truth is a defense to an accusation of libel (even if not known at the time the libel was published). So it's gotta be pretty safe to say that compos' mother is a friendly cocksucker. I'm sure you could subpoena any number of witnesses to testify in your defense.

My Mother the Friendly Cocksucker. Sounds like a money making porn site to me!

Now, My Fuzzy Squeakhole might be a good name for a gay porn site. It could feature Dave in his Buttman suit, baring his fuzzy squeakhole to his sidekick Throbbin a.k.a. Michael. "Deep in the aaaassssss of Texas!!!"

compos, I think we're in the wrong thread.

cocksucker

I've managed to go three years banning just two people on a forum, and you can't even go three days.

Sigh.

I moderate a forum with over 3600 members and have only banned one person in 4 years. But that's just me, I like to let people make asses of themselves so I can promote their stupidity in blog form. BTW, this is probably not Cedarford, since's he's posted recently.

I mean that in a joking way of course, Cedarford is a bigoted, anti-semite, but he doesn't have sex with horses as far as I know.

Cal, what the hell are you talking about? I've been doing this for, I don't know, more than a year and a half now.

Two were for libel.

One was for being a douche.

'Sides, not to bring up the unpleasant past, but you seemed to support my banning from the Mote.

Ace:

Since you *did* bring it up, why were you banned?

I got a little hot after 9-11, and was less than tolerant of the various terrorist-apologists on that site.

I've been banned or almost banned from the only three forums I used to post on.

A good side benefit of this blog is that I know I can't be banned, unless I really piss off MuNu Fraternity President Pixy Misa, but he seems pretty cool.

I got a little hot after 9-11, and was less than tolerant of the various terrorist-apologists on that site.

Yeah, well, this is why you're my hero. smooch!

Damn italic tags. Forgot to add this to last post: Fuck you, Cal.

Ban early, ban often, I say. You can't ban too often.

Heh.
