Talking Trash About Family

[ChrisL]

What is going on with you now? Good grief! Stay out of the flamer zone!

A sudden avatar change there Chris, I wasn't sure who I was responding to until I saw it was you

Should I gradually change it next time?

Maybe a heads-up, I was momentarily very confused....well, more than I usually am

Next time, I will slowly morph into the avatar. Lol.

I think its off-limits but voluntarily handing-out ammo doesn't help. I've been on t3h internetz for a long time and have never posted personal family info

I think if you post it in the lounge, say in a real friendly area, like the Coffee Shop, it shouldn't end up flame material. But that's just me.

The Lounge is not supposed to be a name calling section.

 

[Judicial review]

If they are going to make any rule I have to break it first.

 

[BULLDOG]

What about ex-wives? No longer family, but lots of material there.

 

[Dhara]

I don't think the rule about this is all that clear.

When people read you in the lounge and then use it elsewhere, that's the question.

This is what a mod posted on the FZ thread:



There's this misconception that if you mention some facts about your family, then that family is open to attack. It is not.. You may NOT attack family -- even if -- details about said family have been disclosed. ----- FCT

Thank you. I didn't see that. The mods can close the thread.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

I think there ought to be a place on this forum where people can be themselves and not be constantly dealing with attacks.

That would be The Lounge.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

I'd like staff to clarify that.

If you get hit like that...report it.

What gets me is that we can trash others...as long as they are not family.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

If you mention you're married and have kids, does that mean your family is now open to be being trashed?

I think it depends upon how ugly your spouse is and if your kids are retarded brats. :lol;

Also perhaps if someone is named Virgil or Fanny....that's just asking for a slap

Fanny Farmer chocolates! Yummers. We used to have one around here but it closed.

It closed because I ate all the chocolates

This is because you were born a vandal or something.

Yes I know, I'm trying to regain my self control

If you don't want family involved, don't bring them into it. I'm pretty sure context is important, or at least it should be.

^This.

I understand that that isn't allowed, although perhaps a member of staff could clarify this.

What does that mean? Could you elaborate?

 

[The Great Goose]

I only said stuff that was in context with the discussion.

Nope.

It wasn't in context, you simply vilely attacked her family. So much so your post was removed.
