I couldn't be a cop. Much rather be a criminal. Fewer rules to study.
True... being a criminal is rather easy. Being a GOOD criminal though... now that's hard, and truly rewarding...
granted, by good criminal, I mean lawyer, politician, ceo, etc

I said that the system was corrupt and had to end and start from scratch so it wasn't so corrupt...Quite a difference between that comment and what was said by you and Tiassa.

Ie.. the system is shit and it breeds corruption behind that 'blue wall'.. There's even numerous videos in the thread proving that point. Perhaps you could spend some time perusing it?
And really, being upset and telling a lawyer that someone said all police could die and they wouldn't care... Umm.. Okay? No, really. Do you think I haven't heard those comments every single day? Try having someone with a knife knocking on your door on your back patio while your kids are playing in the playroom in the next room, just to demonstrate of just how all lawyers can and should die and then get back to me.
As I pointed out in that thread. The issues within police departments around the world is corruption, nepotism, lies, abuse of power and criminal acts. It's all protected and as one person pointed out, even attempting to file a complaint against an officer can see you harassed and arrested. It is a system that protects its own at all costs, no matter what they did.
Now that's what I said in that thread which you clearly continue to misrepresent.
More power to you!
No, really, I have heard so much worse, including form a knife wielding lunatic standing in my backyard at night with my kids playing inside.. I said I didn't agree with Tiassa's wording and argument and I explained my position. But misrepresent away. I mean hell, you didn't even have this kind of a go at quinnsong and Repo Man or any of the others who expressed the exact same sentiment as I did..
Knock yourself out Balerion.

Magical Realist is my friend.
What Sciforums' moderators don't seem to realize is that Sciforums is only as good, and only as interesting, as the people that post here. A discussion board's greatest asset isn't its software, it's the conversation that it hosts. Driving participants off subverts the board's whole reason for being.
You also defended Tiassa's claim that "police are shit," even trying to claim that it wasn't a generalization. You refused to condemn his statement that only his "pacifism" (lol) was preventing him from the endorsement of the mass-slaughter of everyone wearing a badge. You said "You know where he's coming from."
But yeah, I'm "misrepresenting" you.![]()

Mod Hat — Policy note
Members should probably be a little smarter than this. That is to say, when everything under the sun leads back to a member's everyday grudge, the issues driving such expressions seem a little less genuine.
And after a while, what those members have to say about this site is received as, "Oh, look, another tantrum to compensate for self-perceived inadequacy."
It's one of those things we can't help but notice. Like when members complain about a certain behavior, that behavior runs afoul of the staff, and then the same members decide to complain about the staff dealing with that behavior. It's not that any one person will go their whole life without making this rhetorical error, but there is a difference between human frailty and the cynical exploitation thereof. And if one does it all the time, it looks less and less like a mistake, which brings us back to the circle of people making their own complaints seem a little less genuine.
I mean, the only thing that could make such a performance go over any worse is if the member consistently committing this error staked part of his or her identity label on objectivity in order to condemn superstition. But since that never happens around here—right?—we don't need to waste our time worrying about it.

Insults lobbed from the perceived safety of a mod note? Say it ain't so, Joe!
As to the "point" of this cowardly diatribe...can't say that I actually see one.
Mod Hat — Response
Let us simply put it this way: If people wish to discuss policy and moderator conduct, and then pitch a cynical hissy-fit when moderators answer as moderators, the staff will certainly take the note, and simply bypass those discussions.
what actions might that be?uh... huh... leopold, your post confuses and bemuses me... especially given your actions in that thread...
Leopold said:you are a fine one to say someone is avoiding challenges.
i mean no disrespect but you aren't the one i PMed, you therefor have no clue about this.You contributed absolutely zilch to that thread... in fact, your first post was this:
actually the above WAS NOT what paddoboy posted.To which paddoboy said he was not going to engage in open forum with your discussion over private messages
heh, heh, yeah well i'll call him that again if you'll let me.At which point you called him a liar and a moron...
i never said trippy lied about anything.I'm not sure how/where Trippy is "lying" here...
like i said, i didn't send you the PMs.you were completely off-topic for that thread, insulting to paddoboy, and generally making an arse of yourself...
*rubs temples*
You are missing the point... the reason you were given a warning was for off-topic and meaningless posting... in the context of that thread, you were off topic and contributing nothing.
If paddoboy is doing something like that, either make a thread specifically for that purpose, or (better still) report the PM's to the moderators if they are harassing in some way.
As it stands... we (the community and the moderation staff) can only see you ranting and raving about something that someone else supposedly did... and then calling people names all over the place (public service announcement - calling trippy a ho... probably not the brightest of ideas...)
