Strike one? What is this baseball. Please...

C'on Nam, you know very well what it means, no deeper interpretation needed. Opinions aren't censored here but the moment you personally attack someone like that you start getting negative attention from the staff.

I was attacked first. Did they get a warning?

I'm going to give you a week off to consider your future here.

Not explicitly for insulting Mags but also for not accepting his actions were unacceptable.

What the fuck is going on?
when did we become so sensitive?
So we sight a retrospective strike one and have it do for two and three, good work.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Tank has always been sensitive after he issues a warning. The people who get bans from Tank are usually those that chat back either by trying to be smart or daring him. You can get away with taking back to Recusant but Tank will usually act.

Bad Penny II

Art it is a thing humans do,
Doing more than they have to.
how a floor is swept, just so,
wood  crafted as it has to be
it comes from a common place
lines drawn, rules to be obeyed
that comes  from another place.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Yep. I don't like warning people.

Go ahead, Nam, do your thing, man.  8)

P'haps we could get our long-awaited angry rant included on the same bill...?!

I even cleared the room for Nam so that no one would interrupt him.  :sad sigh:
I wanted to hear his poems even if I didn't understand them.

A lot of people here didn't understand them, but he said, "Fuck you very much" and "You're the asshole" to me. I'm not offended, I know what I am and what I'm not--and I know I'm not an asshole. He said, "I'm a poet," some of us said, "Well, that's debatable," and he got offended. I've never been to a show where the performers throws rotten tomatoes at the audience.

Strikes 2 and 3 may or may not be in the future. Nam has a week to consider if he wants to remain a member here. If he does he'll apologise to Mags and acknowledge his bad manners. Frankly I'm not sure he didn't start this thread just to start one of the arguments he says he craves. And then he insults one of the least assholeish members here. Not on my watch he doesn't.

Sorry. I thought you, Crow and Davin would enjoy a new boisterous member. But his direct insult to Mags was out of order. He's not gone yet.

Well, I was going to say that if you do decide to come back then next time you feel you've been attacked by a fellow member you could use the report function. :smilenod:

:bigspecs: There's nothing in previous posts that are as bad as straight out calling a member an "asshole" nor do I see any serious provocation that would result in such escalation. If you're going to post your works here then they're going to be critiqued, even by people you think have no business giving their opinion on your poems, keep your cool... and leave your ego at the door.
