I've got to say LP is pretty 'tame' compared to a lot of other boards, especially 'Christian' boards (figure that out).

A long time ago I was on one Christian board and posed a very simple question that they apparently didn't like being asked (it concerned predestination). My only post ever on that board.

The next day when I went back to see if there were any replies, I no longer existed. No such member, username not recognized, etc.

Feel the love....yeah, right.

That's just one example, there are plenty.

I can (sort of) understand arguing over religion or politics, but I've seen some heated discussions on food/recipe forums and msg. boards. I saw one the other day over goulash and what made it "authentic", then there was a sub-argument over using sweet or hot paprika. Other fights have been over how to cook a steak (sear first, then oven or oven then sear or those who think it should only be done on a grill) and one of the biggest...should beans be put in chili?

I'm working up a post for my Blogger blog about the worst forums/msg. boards on the 'net. Not sure how I'm going to rank them, but they're Facebook, Yahoo, IMDb, YouTube and a couple others. I think too many people take it as a personal insult and as discrediting their opinion when you don't like something they do - it's the worst on movie sites.

I have even been (bizarrely) called a "fake" artist and when I pointed to a major art reference site to support what I said, I "did not know what I was talking about." lol I can only imagine the relationship these few men have with women in their lives. Most of the ladies do not spend their lives posting dancing icons all day long.

.. l however was responding from a Male perspective Artist77. When l read responses from Males " going after" an educated female, l immediately think that these people have female bosses * great thing- and would rather vent their anger and frustration in these Forums at the opposite sex.

Wow, the game I watched had a bunch of other players on the field, not just Brady and Wilson.

If you ate chili every day for 50 years, maybe, but a bowl every now and then doesn't hurt. You probably breath in more carcinogens filling up your car, putting on makeup or cleaning your house than you get from chili. You know, there are plenty of vegetables (and their products) that aren't good for you if consumed in excess or every day: spinach, Brazil nuts, kale, tofu, even oranges and tomatoes and many others.

I don't like beans in my chili, but like chili in my beans, go figger. It's just the way I like it and there's no need for anyone to ridicule my own tastes in food. (or how I play the lottery) It says more about their own character faults than it does my appetite. (sort of like the smug, self-righteous vegans/vegetarians who feel the need to constantly preach to we meat eaters)

I've only felt threatened by a woman a few times in my life - several times by my momma when I was a young man and once by a woman with a shotgun who caught us stealing her watermelons. I really didn't want to die for a Black Diamond melon.

I discarded my vote in this poll - it's my way of showing I don't care one way or the other about the subject and without having to down vote the thread.

mikeintexas,

Oh I hear you. A lot of discussion boards are heavy on arguments.

Here's another classic I ran into on a Christian board, another poster made a really off the wall post.

So I replied just like this:

I D T S (meaning "I don't think so".)

She reported me for having called her an "IDIOT".

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Cmon dude have fun with all this! I wasn't calling you out or anything.(just nikkicute maybe for starting such a loaded topic) It's better to talk about the game or something than worry about what genders have been banned the most! I can't speak for other vegans because i hardly ever meet one but i can tell you all my friends eat meat and they give me a hard time at the pubs or bars not the other way around haha! They are chomping on tasty chicken wings dipped in sauce and im sitting there with a baked potato and carrot sticks. They rag me don't worry! Its all in fun either way. I don't have a problem if you like meat cause at one time i had my share so i ain't preaching brother lol.

Your right it was a team game i agree never though different. I was just glad to see the Pats win because the media hounded them for weeks over nothing because of their bias to try to throw them off their game. I didn't even watch any regular season games this year but i always try to watch the superbowl.

Speaking of "preaching" i remember you got pretty huffed up in the last election cycle on republican politics. Which of the 15 repub candidates you think can take down Bill....i mean Hillary? lol

Just having fun mikeintexas. All the best. Ive always liked most of your posts by the way.

I'm sure if I got "huffed up" over politics, it was because someone thought their candidate was a squeaky clean, walking clone of Jesus and the others were a bunch of crooks. I'd estimate there's not a half-dozen honest people in Congress and I'd be hard-pressed to name more than a couple...and I wouldn't be positive about them. I generally get huffed up when I see hypocrisy. (and ashamed when I catch myself in it) I can guarantee you that you have NEVER read me "preaching" on anything. Angry? Sure. Argumentative? That's correct, but never "preachy"...not even on Sunday.

Who said I wasn't having fun? I enjoyed writing my post. I never rag on anyone for being a vegan or vegetarian, only when they criticize me for not being one. I don't eat much meat, btw, haven't had a steak in a couple of years. I had hormone-laden, antibiotic-ridden, cruel factory farm chicken raised on GMO corn for supper.

Todd I am one of the people who calls pickone4me out on is conspiracy claims. I think his claims about MUSL rigging PB and MM for California are ludicrous and unsubstantiated. I stand by all my comments and I don't consider my comments abusive.

In the end, you are the owner of the website so you have the right to decide who stays and who goes.

That is all in fine calling someone out for that. However this is where you took it too far. https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/282649

I don't suppress differences in opinion. It would be pretty boring here if everyone agreed on everything.

So true! So true! Some posters here come out with some whacked out ideas! Ha..Ha. It's probably male members that get banned because of the testosterone flowing in their bodies. Ha.Ha.

Have you ever been on a forum that gets really uppity with any slight hint of politics being discussed, or if there is a disagreement. Rules being made up on a whim. That sort of stuff?

Oh yeah, it was really bad in the now-defunct MSN Groups and over-officious group mgrs. who started the debate but didn't want anyone to rebut them. They used to ban me (and others) until a friend discovered a glitch where you could put a little snippet of code in your nickname when you signed up...it wouldn't be visible, but it kept them from banning you.

I'm on Facebook mainly to keep up w/ younger kinfolk or distant cousins and old classmates, but if anyone puts too much political stuff or bad information on their wall, I either un-follow their posts or un-friend them and if they tick me off enough, I block them. I don't put up with crapola in real life unless I have to, why should I do it online?

I have a blog and was called out by a fellow blogger for "not advancing the cause of conservatism". I had to tell him his idea of conservatism and mine were different and that I had some great online, liberal friends who visited my blog and I didn't want to offend them. My blog isn't like that, anyway, it's about this area where I live and the stuff (music, sports, TV/movies) I like...and is unashamedly ego-centric. (after all, it IS my blog!) I have done a little equal opportunity ragging on candidates of both sides of the aisle, but not too much. As I said, I don't like to talk politics or controversial subjects unless I see someone spreading lies and then I have to chime in. You'll find videos by AC/DC or ABBA in my blog, posts about cats or chicken fried steak, but not much about Obama or Bush.

ok. So it seems from what I have seen -

a. you have to be overtly objectionable to get banned or

b. offend someone who is quite literate in explaining why they are offended.

Obviously being stupid/uninformed or not as bright as most of the members, doesn't get you banned - cuz I'm still here.
