no one should be banned from this board!

[mellowman]

i want to address this board for a minute. no one, and i mean no one, should be banned from this board. it doesn't matter if you think a person is annoying or stupid or unknowledgable or ignorant. no one should be banned from stating there mind no matter how much we disagree with them. the last time i checked this was america. if people are threatening others or doing seriously negative and hurtful things, then i'd understand. but if people continue to get banned from this board for no legitimate reason i doub't whether i will post here anymore.  if the moderators read this please understand that i am not being critical of you. i know you work very hard on this board and are trying to keep it as good as possible. you guys have helped me a lot on a few things so i am thankful. i just dont want to see people get banned simply cause we might not like them. but the people who post on this board need to take responsibilty for the things they post. stick to opinions about music and other topics. but be respectful and dont dis people or fight with people. to do that while sitting behind a computer is pretty stupid.
an example of what i'm talking about is the guy named n-imy. i'm sorry for pointing you out but some of your comments were unnecessary. some of his posts were ignorant, distasteful and showed total lack of respect or knowledge about the business or the situations or the people he was dissin. i didn't like his comments but he has the right to say whats on his mind. you have the right to your opinion and the freedom to say what you want to say. but if youre going to hide behind a computer and be an internet gangsta you better be prepared to pay the consequences for your words. to harshly criticize someone you have never met, to spew bullshit about situations you do not know about, and to personally attack someone you do not know is really weak and cowardly. by the way N-imy, the comments you said about dre were pretty strong. if you post your name and address i will buy you and send you a one way plane ticket to la. i will personally meet you at the airport and bring you to the studio. you must promise to look dre straight in the eye and say EXACTLY what you said about him to his face. (and don't forget about the gay comments either). i would buy you round trip tickets but i don't know if youd make it home. the moral to this little story is to watch what you say. your words may come back and haunt you.

bravo!! thats some good shit. especially about saying that same exact stuff to dres face. i remember one time people were talking about snoop and how hes a bitch and all that, but how does anyone know when they dont know them personally? and to people that think dre is actually gay need to look in the mirror, cause you know dre has gotten mad pussy in his life, probably more than you me or anyone can even think of

the last time i checked this was america. if people are threatening others or doing seriously negative and hurtful things, then i'd understand.

Hahaha sorry man.. but two things - this is obviously about 'so much style' being banned, as he is the only person banned for months.

1) this isn't america - the shit is UK owned - we have a lot of international members

2) i call following some around on every post they make "doing seriously negative and hurtful things" reason to ban someone, and argument within context is fine, but when that shit ruins other threads then its out of order, if it happens repeatedly then they obviously have a problem.

btw... so much style is back on board anyways after a little time in purgatory and its all cool

REAL talk right there...LEARN ABOUT IT!!!!!

[TheSheriff]

Yeah, this is UK owned, and even if it was US owned, international law would aply, at the internet is NOT owned by America-It is monitored by the IISC, but no-one owns it,

But I gotta say, Mellowman makes a good point...

[HHH]

.............YEAH, A GOOD POINT MAYBE BUT ITS ALSO DRAGGIN UP OLD SHIT THATS BEEN SORTED ALREADY  

[TheSheriff]

I think mellow was more into the latter part of his post...Take responsibility...

Yeah, I think the term iGangsta comes to mind with N-Imy, except in a different way. And in the same vein, same kind of thing with anyone dissin Outkast...Why dya do it? If you really believe it, would you say it to their face? If so, it could be arranged.

But people don't mean HALF the things they say. Most of 'em say it because of wanting to look knowledgable, etc...

[AlerG]

ok mellowman heres the deal:
i will pay for the round ticket and your dinners for as long as my stay is if you promise you can have me meet dr dre. actually i will buy you a round trip back to where i live just for the hell of it, maybe for a little vacation. let me know, peacee.

[Trauma-san]

Man, I Live RIGHT UP THE ROAD From ATL, So I'd Say Some STuff To Outkast's Face, But It Wouldn't Be Nothin' Negative  Those Fools Keep Things RIGHT...

Anyways, WHOOOOOOOO! DAMN, I Been Waitin' For Dre Or One Of His Peeps To Say This To Some Of These CLowns.  Dre's  A BIGGGGG BOY, Ain't Nobody Gonna Talk Sh*t To His FAce, Cuz Their All Punks.  Dre'd Probably Take All His Agression Towards Suge Out On N-Imy.. .LOL... Man Mellow, That Was Awesome, LOL  Best Thing I've REad All Week, LOL... Keep Up, And Tell Dre Not To Worry About Bitches Like This, They're Probably Just Kids, Man.

P.S. - I'm A Moderator, And We Try Our Best Not To Ban People.  AS A Matter Of Fact, There's Probaby About 5 People AT LEAST On THe Board Right Now I Wish Weren't Around, But We Haven't Done A Thing.  Usually, The Only Way We'll Ban People Is If They're Just Childish, Running Around Calling The Other Posters Fags, And Stuff.  Peace!

[TheSheriff]

The reason not many people diss Outkast is cause there's nothin to diss them on. And that's why Ant and I were laughing for like an hour last week... Cause people can only diss them over like Janet and shit, and that's just weak on the disser's side. =)

And Trauma, I never suggested you did diss 'em...=)

But if I was an OutKast critic, I'd have to say it to their face, as basically all my hols I'm in ATL or SAV...=)

[Tanjential]

God,I love this board
to cover a saying that the geto boyz once said "Damn, it feels good tpo be a poster!"
.peace-Tanjint

[Trauma-san]

HI Sheriff;
 Oh, You Got Me Wrong.  I Know YOu Didn't Say Anyting About Me, I Was Just Saying I Got A Few Things To Say To Outkast, But Nothing Negative... It'd Be More Like

"Man, CAN I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH MAN!??!!???

HOWS IT FEEL SLEEPING WITH ERYKAH BADU???!!??

Don't I DRESS SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN??!!???"

Stuff Like That.. LOL

Anybody Ever Been To Atlanta? I Couldn't Find 'Em Anyways, That's The Most Confusing City I've Ever Been To, And I've Been To L.A. Before..

[mellowman]

i want to clarify and apologize for a few things on this particular post. i am sorry if i offended anyone by somehow implying that this board is not uk owned. i dont give a fuck if the persons or people that run this board are green or from mars. when i said "the last time i checked this is america' i was just talking about having freedom of speech. i also want to apologize for bringing up this topic again after it was apparantly settled. since i was gone for 2 and a half weeks without looking at this board the other night i looked at all the posts of the last few weeks and saw this particular topic. it bothered me so i spoke out on it. the main reason for the post was to warn you about talking too much shit. i was not really threatening n-imy at all. i just wanted to hammer my point across and i think that my warning definelty got across like a sledgehammer. if n-imy did in fact get face to face with dre dre would probably just laugh at him. but he was pretty tired about the gay rumors so you never know. but dre knows that anyone who was sissy enough to start spreading rumors that they know aren't true is a cowardly pussy anyhow, so why bother. i hope this post clarifies a few things. i'm man enough to admit when i was wrong and a few things on my previous post on this thread were inaccurate and should not have been brought up, even if my points were misinterpreted. later.

[Trauma-san]

I Gotcha, But I Agree With What You Stated In The First Place.  It's B.S. The Way People Bring Up Stuff That Ain't Fact Like It Is, You Know?  It's Like Once Somebody Accuses Somebody Of Being Gay, Child Molestor, Whatever, People Believe It Like It's A Science.  

[TheSheriff]

Naw, Trauma, you got me wrong...In the latter post of mine, I was just pointing out summat...I knew you weren't dissing them..
