I actually found the whole sequence fascinating. Good example of democracy at work.
Carry on...

Very similiar to what happened when a guy made a joke about world trade center bombings on our old Yahoo board Early Speed.
It didn't play, period.
And while I may think bartybet is the scum of the earth (I don't actually, but he does occasionally flame me in offshore), he had a point, stuck to it, and won his case.
Men diddling with little boys isn't all that funny a subject matter.

I had a similiar instance at MW where Patrick last year did a tagline on all his posts "show me on the doll where Peep touched you".
I found it much less than funny, out of bounds and personally offensive since I had three small children of my own whose safety I personally worried about. There was some history of same on my wife's side of the family to boot.
Patrick has since apologied, I have accepted, we are fine on it. But at the time it hurt, I felt it was wrong.
I obviously did not make my case as well as Bartybet did, I never did get the support over there he did here.

I am trying to respond as a "poster" rather than a mod in this instance.
Truth, is nothing to mod anyway, people have spoken.

Peep--point taken--it aint funny--BUT
At no time was nambla PROMOTED as being kosher...it was merely a metaphor to flame various reprobates who live down here!!!
I mean--I have seen every type of tasteless irreverent humour down here in the last several months and not once been offended by it--
If this crap was flying around on prime time tv i would say--whoa
But for shits sake --its the rr of a gambling forum--how the fvck can anyone get hurt--unless its one of the Clampetts

Yeah, to some extent it is "politically correct hits the RR" Early.
So it goes....

Its kinda like when Andy Kaufman did a devastating impression of Elvis in rehearsal on Sat nite live and John belushi(!) told him thats not funny??
Why??
Elvis was a sacred cow of belushis
he could not see the humour in it!!
Now we have Barty calling me a child abuser because nambla was used as a metaphor to put down some idiotic posters and i thought it was funny!!
We also must understand that there was no reference made to any abused child--(with the possible exception of Barty and Elmer)
So why,barty,if this offended,did you not say--"i was abused as a child and I find this offensive??"
Or more simply--why not just realize what it was--the rr--and move on???
