Coffeeshop Etiquette

[Sir Niall of Essex-sire]

It is also true with your fellow-posters, no matter how long or short that have been on a particular message board. And some people here are just downright rude. If your sense of humor keeps offending people, that is your problem, at least among people who have a decent understanding of human compassion.

If my humor does offend people, please don't read it. Freedom of speech means someones going to be offended. It's more your problem imo.

If there was forum consensus to stop posting, i would oblige, which is strange 'cos i've gone against that by replying here. However, bar the usual suspects, i haven't been told i'm offensive by others. So, i will continue, until this situation changes.

Thank you for making my point so well....if you need forum consensus to not be rude, that says it all.

Thank you for making my point so well....if you need forum consensus to not be rude, that says it all.

The point is, it's your deal if you get offended, i have freedom of speech. Ever heard of Kant's theory that a freedom is allowed to exist as long as it don't interfere with another freedom. My freedom of speech and any offence caused by it to you does not stop your freedom of speech to return it, for you to stop me because you get offended would interfere with my freedom of speech. Which freedom is therefore permissible?

I don't need a forum to tell me not to be rude, i'm not being rude. I'm saying what i thing, i don't call you horrible names dude. I take the piss out of you, only because you do the same thing back. HOWEVER

If the forum would like me to stop posting, i would oblige, because i'm not rude, i take into account others feelings. Other's that actually deserve such consideration that is.

[gixxer]

niall i dont think you should stop posting, personally i dont agree with all of your ( soft assed liberal ) views, and i know you dont agree with all of mine but thats life
ps ,,, in brackets is a joke , had to explain as some people dont seem to have a sense of humor

[Boner]

Nah Sir Niall you shouldn't have to go anywhere.

Edit: I think people keep forgetting Lemmings Golden rule, say what you want just dont insult people personally, calling someone a retard is insulting that person and if you (aimed at everyone) dont like lemmings golden rule then you should fuck off elsewhere.

How could you hate someone for what there government does. That just makes absolutely no sense.

Tell that to the Germans in 1945 when HITLER was in charge.

Woohoo!. I got to say it first, it was close early on but got lost in the bullshit.

That analogy is fucking retarded at best! It makes no sense also. Oh! I'm going to hate Italians because the Catholic church was one of the biggest supporters of the Nazi movement .What about Japan's violent orgy of death in Nanjing, were they killed, raped, you name it they did it , Chinese men, women and children. No one was spared they killedd 300,000 people in a month. While I am at it I will hate on Chinese people because of there Governments lack of human rights or even better lets hate all Iranians because there Leaders are fucking suicidal.

IMO I would have thought people hate the English worldwide more that any other nationality seeing as how they raped and pilliged every country including their own. India, Africa, China, Australia, America, etc. You name it England has tried to own it or claim it for their own with force. Kind of like what GW and his croonies were attempting to do in the Middle East. Shit I let the cat out of the bag!

Anyway I could care less what your government has done now or in the past. I will make my judgement of you(not your nationality) based on how you treat me. As buddha would say "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

If you were here longer than 5 secs you might actually understand what is going on.....before making a tit out of yerself.

Sir Niall Stays!

[joeuk]

a said a wasnt goin say anything else but considerin the debate is raging on fair dos i may of been out of order in various parts of this thread but i never insulted any one personally unlike some and i also apologised to the other forum members who wernt involved unlike some

maybe we need a thread in of topics where people can air there differences without clogin up the main board and sayin a long term member with a high number of posts shouldnt say what he wants cause it mite ofend sum people is disgusting imo

[Sir Niall of Essex-sire]

GeoffK, Boner and Gixxer ( you right wing bastard ) i thank you sincerely.

The offer remains though, if the majority of the forum feels as if i am causing a stupid amount of issues and generally am not wanted i will bow out. However, it does seem that perhaps accusations of rudeness, bigoted etc seem to be unfounded?

[DC]

Don't let the door hit yer arse on the way out!.

[Twichaldinho]

Don't let the door hit yer arse on the way out!.

Small door?
I've always found it fairly easy to interpret whether a poster is posting something in jest, or with malice. It seems not eveyone reads things in the same manner .....Who would have thunk it

[Sir Niall of Essex-sire]

Don't let the door hit yer arse on the way out!.

As sympathetic a Belfast native as i've ever known!

[Marco]

I never said anyone should stop posting. And to run the freedom of speech argument is so weak...no one said you should be censored.

are you asking me to leave dc?

[Kermit]

@ this thread, every1 be happy 420 is near

[Uncle Ron]

Perhaps a silly question, but I haven't been to the Dam since 2001. Is it OK to sit at a table that is already occupied in a busy shop if you ask first? Or do you just plop down in any seat? Thanks.

I read your question and was ready to answer but noticed there were eleven pages of posts. I thought WTF could generate this much attention over a relatively simple question. The answer to your question is you should ask first, it's polite. Anything else is simply rude. Be chill. Work it out.

Hypothetical for the masses:
What would you think and how would you feel if a stranger(s) came to your table at a restaurant and just sat down like it was theirs?
Anyone who just sits down and starts doing their thing, and even has the balls to try and take over your table is what I call a "cannabis tourist", and an asshole as well. Poor fucking attitude. Chav attitude.
Any Chavs out there? You can blow me after I finish off your mothers and sisters.
My apologies if I offended anyone, unless you're a Chav. You can still blow me.

Caveat: My comments don't necessarily pertain to party couches. These are in a different category altogether.

Peace.
