Uh-Oh ---- I thought it was pretty clear that I was posting in in she spirit of jest, irony, and sarcasm. And let's just say I am not a supporter of Bush-Cheney-Neocon Doctrine any way.
But you appear to have lived up to your monicker "Born Confused" and completely missed out on this.
Let me help you:
sarcasm
[sahr-kaz-uhm]
noun
1.
harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2.
a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.
irony
1 [ahy-ruh-nee, ahy-er-]
noun, plural ironies.
1.
the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!†when I said I had to work all weekend.
2.
Literature.
a.
a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.
b.
(especially in contemporary writing) a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., especially as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion.
No idea who the fat chick in the photo is, but if you are posting your vacation photos of your trip to the states, you could at least let us know where your photo was taken.
Anyway -- no problem -- "Slag the Yanks" (and the resulting "Slag the Brits" backlash) may have been the funniest thread ever on k-440

Looks like another form of censorship although burying a thread is not quite as bad as deleting. The Ironic part is I believe YOU started it and let it run over 200 posts before it no longer suited your purpose.

BTW, I love the USA, just pulling your chain! The second pic can't be for real - I've never seen anyone in the USA that looks exactly like that, I mean the cross-bands are just so out of place

Actually, we publicly decided that threads about K440 don't belong in the General Chatter section because it's just in the wrong category, and outs clogging up that section.Rain Dog wrote:

#Censorship #Sucks #Regardless #the #Forum #or #Method #Used
We even left a shadow (meaning a link is still visible in that section leading to this thread) so not a single bit of censorship involved man.
Again, you found this thread, didn't you? It's public, isn't it?
There are reasons that almost all forums are divided into sub-forums, etc.
And it's hardly buried. And definitely not locked.
However, several posters have voiced their opinion that this thread is asinine. We listen to our CEO members and they actually have the power to change things on here.
We are very light on the modding and very transparent.
And suited my purpose? What purpose "was" that that you are claiming has now stopped suiting? I'm not sure I follow you.
As always, thanks for your feedback! It's always taken into consideration.

Re: CEO and Khmer440 reach a GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT!
One of my threads got moved too. I don't see it as censorship at all. I'm glad they cleaned up General Chatter. All the K440 threads were getting ridiculous (I'm part ridiculous too) but are indicative of how many people feel the same way - so it's a good compromise in my opinion.Rain Dog wrote:General Mackevili wrote:Going to move this to the Asinine Arena, as previously discussed, to clear up the General Chatter section.

1) Of course I found the thread --- you announced where it could be found -- to you for being #transparent about burying it.
2) Members were complaining about it because people are tired of the silly bashing between the two forums (like enough already after 1 month) Yet you were the one who put it in the top and most busy sub-forum ---- and let it run there for over 220 posts! EdwinWigan - Kindly and IMO (deliberately) tried to drag it off topic by posting his Uk post mocking the yanks. I thought this was cool and decided to support his effort by posting several replies to it --- to which others then replied to my replies and we has successfully dragged the k440 bashing off topic --- only then did you decide to bury it ---- and oddly IMO decided to reintroduce a criticism of K440 (bringing it back on topic of K440 bashing ).
3) It's fantastic you are listening to some of your members -- your nemesis also listens to Some of their members.
Anyway I think this thread has run it course so I could care less if you delete it or whatever. Just found the entire timing unusual.
