(sigh) Sorry. It was such a perfect double-entendre that I forgot that the community has voted that my humor is a little too adult for this forum. I'll remember to keep it reined in for the future.

Arrrrgh.
First of all, you misread the tone of my post. I think your comment was hilarious, and as I said, I'd have made exactly the same one. (If you think I shy away from sexual humour, I can point you to plenty of fivers that demonstrate otherwise. Take the Voyager Week Easter eggs....) It's a little different when somebody slashes you personally, however. I don't think you can blame me or Vedra for ewwwing. Second, the community didn't "vote" on anything. When it comes to opinions, there is no "the community." We have a wide range of tastes here. I've never made rules about how PG-13 you can and can't be at this forum, and I'm not going to. But there's a corollary: I don't tell anyone how to react to your posts either. Don't do the slash if you can't pay the cash. No one at this forum is being persecuted. I wish people would quit assuming they are.

Help, help, I'm being repressed!
For the record, my response to evay's joke is similar to Zeke's. If I'd've seen it, I might've said it too. And 5MViagra is hilarious in its own right.

Threads go off-topic here, Ved -- better get used to it if you're gonna keep writing fivers. (And can the politics.)
Quote:
You can make a joke on day Y and get a completely different set of replies from when you made the same joke on day X. If you had made your post in Misc, some people would have read it who didn't read it here, and vice versa. Other factors are context, people's moods, time of day, Zodiac sign... I'm not saying you can't generalize about anything in an online community, but it's much less reliable than in face-to-face chatting. To make my point with an example.... Quote:
You've made plenty of funny posts here, of which two didn't go over as well as you hoped. The lesson is -- nothing. Come to me with ten or twenty data points and maybe we'll talk about patterns. In the meantime, give us enough credit not to assume the worst. I don't know how I can make it any clearer than I have that I'm delighted to have you in this community. That lies behind everything I post, so don't forget it's there. That goes for all of you. Quote:
(And not to be rude, but what's not to get? It's "5MViagra." Funny, yep; subtle, no.) danieldoof: We've had four Easter eggs so far. One was in the Election '04 event, two were in the VW conclusion, and one was in the CW conclusion. (Actually, that was one of the two I linked, so I was wrong in my post above.) The history of "dsokdpach" may be had for the low, low price of this thread. e of pi: Very well put. Valium: You'd think.

That wasn't political, Zeke, it was just a joke. You know, Bush Sr. said something like that, or at least an SNL skit did, and that's what I was referencing. If I had said "whiny Liberal", you would've laughed or something, because it's "okay" to pick on us. I was just making a joke, you made it political.

I made a stupid joke. If someone can't be adult enough to laugh and move on, then don't say anything at all.

Scooter is right. Moreover, he shouldn't have had to tell you that, because you and I have talked about it just recently. Let me remind you in case you've forgotten: I have LOST FRIENDS for bringing up politics here. I started a civil political discussion thread with warning signs you could see a mile off -- and there's still at least one person who hasn't forgiven me for that crime.
I'm never letting that happen again. Politics are irrelevant to why we're all here, so we are staying the hell off the subject. No exceptions. The more popular side does not get sniping privileges. I know your comment was meant harmlessly. Now that you're aware of the policy, just keep it in mind and we'll be fine. However.... Quote:
