Not... exactly. Someone screamed the spoiler "upside down" if I can say it like that, and then I stupidly said "It's the other way around"
Feel free to edit if you think I'm spoiling just by saying it like this.

I still don't get the no-cursing rule in a room that's full of a tight-knit clique, anyhow.

I still don't get the no-cursing rule in a room that's full of a tight-knit clique, anyhow. An average of 40 users is a tight-knit clique? (also, I hate the word clique) #srb2 is around one of the top five most active channels on the Esper Network. Also, we kick for two words out of the entire english language - some 2 million words. If you have trouble avoiding saying two words out of 2 million, then, well, that's your problem, innit?

I mean, look at how we treat new people that's not like us at the moment. =P As for the two words, I never said I had a problem with it. I don't like censorship, but I went to a school where everything I said was under judgement, so I'd like to think I can handle myself and not be bothered in a room with those scripts being run. It's just that I don't see the point-- I'm not otherwise bothered by it at all.

The point of the rule is to carry on the wishes of the original SRB2 founding brass. This makes it irrelevant today, in light of #srb2's change to a general-discussion channel rather than one for the discussion of the actual game.
Further irony on the matter is provided by the fact that other, 'semi-official' SRB2 channels (#srb2fun, #srb2netgame, and the like) were later created for discussing the actual game, because #srb2 itself was no longer suitable for that purpose!
So basically, now, this 2-word rule is perpetuated by roughly 2 people (ololo!) because they apparently think that the usage of these words is any of the following: (a) any sort of big deal, (b) honestly offensive to anyone with a shred of intelligence, (c) something that isn't readily done every single day in "real life" by normal people.
Of course, there's always a time and a place where certain words and actions are and are not socially acceptable. But here in the year 2005, even soccer moms have bigger problems to worry about than "fuck" and "shit". So I'm not entirely sure what Blaze and Mystic are afraid of.

Have you ever been to #lemonade, let alone know anything about it?
Just FYI, don't mean to turn this into a #lemonade discussion. But bart, gosh. Do you ever think before you talk?
To be honest, it's not. #srb2 has 27 people, and looking at list, you're in 11th at the moment. Thats not really top 5. but then again, this is in the morning.

In your effort to be different than everyone else (despite the fact that many enjoyed Sonic Adventure 2, which directly contradicts popular claims you've made yourself), we know and you should have realized that blanket statements aren't applied to every living breathing person.

Because if I was some moron just saying things to try to "be different", I would really go out of my way to count myself in among the "normal people", you see.

Thus why I decided to point out the irony in the first place.
EDIT: Clarification: You're not a moron for sure, and you don't go out of your way, but when the opportuny arises I do find that you typically make it known that you're different.
Not nearly as bad as being different 'just because', but to point out that you're different than the average public (or average person of a group in discussion) becomes exceptionally obnoxious.

This particular blanket statement, in context, appears to be intended as a thinly veiled accusation. (A more blunt version would be "honestly, what kind of freak doesn't see swearing as a basic form of casual language?") And as some of you may remember from the days when I didn't avoid discussions of religion like they were lethally radioactive, I take "them" accusations which happen to include me (or someone I respect) far worse than I take direct attacks, perhaps because the former are not as effectively blocked by my massive ego as the latter.

Oh that's right, there's an SRB2 GAME isn't there? j/k (b) honestly offensive to anyone with a shred of intelligence Okay, I'm going to have to take exception to this one. I'd like to think of myself as a somewhat intelligent person, but honestly, I do get offended when somebody swears, not because of what they say but because of the sort of person they are and feelings they imply when they say it. Generally I associate (especially extensive) swearing with: hatred, negativity, desire to focus on negativity, lack of thought, lack of ability to clearly work through problem, callousness, limited vocabulary, limited view of life, lack of ability to be open minded and look to the positive, general desire to ofload their irritations onto others, desire to cause offense, belief the world is screwed up, it's only going to get worse and they might as well let people know it, and general lack of consideration for other people. It's not that I am totally against swearing, there are times when I don't mind it when someone swears and even find it funny, this is usually when the person in question has demonstrated themselves to be intelligent and uses the word in a well timed and humourous fashion. Alternatively, if the person has a REAL reason to swear, I'm going to be more forgiving. However is someone swears casually, extensively or inappropriately, well then, my above list applies. I don't try to stop people swearing, we all know how effective telling someone not to do something is and, with swearing, I've even had a bit of experience in that section. However, the basic fact is that I don't like it when people swear, both by what they imply and the sort of person they portray themselves as when they do. Call it whatever you want, but that's just how I feel about it.

In that case, I don't think he was really talking about people with similar beliefs as you, Sofa.

Call it whatever you want, but that's just how I feel about it. So you hold the belief that it's okay to do it if it's well-timed and delivered thoughtfully. Great. See my comment about there being a time and place for everything. Perhaps I didn't elaborate enough. I'm not a big fan of people who constantly sling around obscenities either. It is rude, boorish, and a common mark of those of lesser intelligence. It appears we both share a similar moderate view on the issue, with the possible exception that I'm not against casual swearing, as long as isn't excessive to the point where it becomes the things I just described. I think my point is mainly that intelligent people generally should take such a relatively minor social infraction in stride, as you describe that you do. While it may be an annoyance to some, formal regulations on it are asinine and redundant. Groups naturally cast out members that don't conduct themselves to certain generally-accepted standards. Ideally, the standards depend on the group as a whole rather than on a few individuals.
