Friday Fun Thread for September 23, 2022

Be advised; this thread is not for serious in depth discussion of weighty topics, this thread is not for anything Culture War related. This thread is for Fun. You got jokes? Share 'em. You got silly questions? Ask 'em.

Bruh the definition of culture war is overly broad. You have Hall Monitor-itis. Take a break!

No. It's amusing how many people think "jannie"and "hall monitor" is some sort of sick burn, but that's exactly why we're here, to keep threads from degenerating into shitposting and bad faith trolling. You ignored an explicit and very clear rule, and there is no way you can argue in good faith that what you were referencing wasn't trying to score some CW zinger-points.

You're free to start a discussion with @ZorbaTHut and the other mods to talk about how you think "No Culture Warring in the Friday Fun Thread" should or shouldn't be enforced, but you are not free to ignore the rules and whine when you're pulled up short.

I didn't ignore the rules. I answered the prompt honestly and directly.

I cited the rule you broke. You can argue all you like that you weren't ignoring the rules, but you ignored the rules. "Honestly and directly" does not mean you didn't ignore the rules. You are free to continue ignoring the rules and insisting you didn't ignore the rules, but if you persist in ignoring the rules, predictable consequences will follow.

Bro. Take a deep breath. There was nothing "culture war" about my post.

Learn to appreciate life and if you find yourself being overly critical, take a break.

There was nothing "culture war" about my post.

Do stop being disingenuous.

We've been modding for a while, and your smirking "bro, calm down" act is not original. I assure, I'm very calm and I appreciate life greatly. I'll calmly ban you and appreciate life with one less bad actor if you are unwilling to conform yourself to the rules of the board.

You're probably too young to understand this, but your self value doesn't (shouldn't) derive to how much power you wield over people online.

Again, you may want to pause and reflect.

I'm older than you, which is why I recognize the script you are using.

I've indulged you this long on the off-chance that you weren't just playing a role, but since you've proven that this entire routine is just you trying to save face and reestablish what you perceive as the upper hand with a superior demonstration of snark and condescension, just be aware that continuing to do what you did before will result in a ban. That's not because I revel in wielding power, it's because I care about the quality of discussion here, which you are willfully degrading.

No I am not. It was a silly prompt which I responded to in a silly but plausible manner before you showed up at Defon one threatening to hit me with the banhammer.

How are you any different than the Reddit mods who force the Motte to move away from Reddit? Because I struggle to see a difference.
