@Lightbringer

I love you all.

We love you too, even though some of us are ‘batfeces’ crazy!!

By the way, personal attacks are also not allowed on BLF.

@ raccoon city…. Please explain what “personal attacks” you are referring to & why you randomly posted that.

[Streamer]

You are very threatening. Heads up on that.

[teacher]

Quoted FTR.

@raccoon city

By the way, at least two different BLF accounts have been marking my posts as rude, even though I have very careful with my words not to be rude.

There may be consequences for abusing the rude button like that.

Just wanted to give you all a heads-up on that.

Imagine that, someone has been doing the same thing to me….

It seems someone may have forgotten there is more than one way to be Rude here on BLF. They too warrant the use of the Rude Button…. just as much or more than the innocent use of the words…. “batsh!t crazy”.

Think about that too.

It is not good to throw stones when we are all in a glass house.

That is my Pickwick Dam story & I’ll be sticking to it.

…

Edit: Please do not accuse me of “swearing”, I have not been. That would be a lie on your part.

Well, you did say “dam”…

You could’ve said “my Pickwick Darn story”.

[clicking “Rude!” furiously…] :smiling_imp:

[Lightbringer]

Unno, I just can’t bring myself to get all worked up about any of this.

My butterfly in Tibet waggled its wings, and here’s a hurricane. Go figure.

I think I actually soiled myself when I read that threatening post…… :person_facepalming:

Click away my BLF friend….

But take note, it is all in the spelling……

• Dam = Structure that holds back water
• Damn = What some would consider a “swear word”, depending on it’s usage

Class dismissed…. carry on.

Oh well, another rudeness fight…
Gentleman, please let me bring back some admin posts.

Poll: Should We Do Away With Anonymous Rude Marks?

Hi everyone, I understand that it’s frustrating when you get an apparently unjustified rudeness point. And the very fact that you care about your rudeness level is an excellent sign that you are indeed a respectful and friendly BLF member. However, while there is always a small amount of “noise” and illegitimate hits on the Rude! button, it is surprisingly free of wide-scale abuse. For example, I have an admin page that shows me the name and rudeness score of all the users that currently have …

Poll: Should We Do Away With Anonymous Rude Marks?

Hi there teacher. Not to come down on you publicly, but again, by participating in an off-the-rails thread that is spawning an argument and getting tempers riled, rules were broken, and rude points happened. Very true, well said. When a lot of rude points start to rack up, there is often the false assumption that they are fraudulent hits. Seen from my end, it’s usually another story— in the case of a user that starts to go off the scale with rude hits, there are usually multiple users, many …

[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

Update: The Rude! button is now superseded by the Report button. Please read this post for more details: Hi everyone, BLF is known as a friendly and welcoming forum, and my intention is for it to stay that way. Fortunately, the vast majority of our users try their best to cooperate with BLF Rule #1 : However, lately it seems that a small number of BLF users are flagrantly breaking this all-important rule, causing hurt feelings, fights, major headaches for me, and a generally unpleasant …

@sb56637

It doesn’t matter who marked it as rude, as long as it was a genuine response to something perceived as rudeness (as defined here), there’s basically no disputing it. Somebody was offended or concerned that rules were being broken, and it doesn’t matter who it was. What matters is what was said that offended the user.

@budgetlightforum.com/forum/misc/siterules

Please avoid fighting. If you or somebody else is losing their calm, please drop the subject.

@sb56637

please do not quote other users’ rude posts, since doing so only gives additional publicity to their rudeness.

Now….may we go back to business please?

[teacher]

@raccoon city

I think I explained that.

“*” doesn’t look like an “i”.

“!” does look like an “i”.

Everyone has a different opinion of what swearing is.

I asked Mr. Admin what type of swearing was allowed on BLF and he replied, “none”, so I have to make a judgment call.

Fine. We all have to make judgement calls too.

Since I am the eternal optimist & never one the miss an opportunity for a good laugh……
This pretty much sums up the last 24+ hours of this thread…… .

[MascaratumB]

[tatasal]

Oh well, I brought my attention to something else for a while and when I went back to my pc, I thought I was in a new thread I wondered what’s the title of this thread!

[Finnno]

7 pcs - Convoy, JetBeam etc.

[erlebo]

Need you even ask…. you know all you CoonAsses are as crazy (batdung crazy of course… ) as us Alabama RedNecks……. And we are both proud of that ‘tag’ aren’t we.
Do ya’ feel the luv???

On a note about lights…… Did you get any of the Wuben E05’s, I can’t remember. Anyway…. they are neat lights!! Really great price with Vipon Code too.

[Henk4U2]

Only one light to go since the doorbell rang about one hour ago. That will be the copper Olight.

Not planning on any more lights in the foreseeable future (haven’t I heard that somewhere before?).
I can’t guarantee anything regarding that (eh…) one special light I missed when they were still available.
Hoping that the (failed) KickStarter light of member Hoop will somehow re-emerge in a groupbuy.
And as usual there always will be a FW3A on the horizon to look forward to.

[atbglenn]

Besides the Nitecore TUP which I’ll have tomorrow, I’ll have a copper Olight i3E coming today.

[sb56637]

Thread closed until tempers cool down.
To everyone who participated in the recent fight, please go back and delete your posts.
Thanks.
