i think we need a new unmoderated incivility group

[datasuspect]

a place where DUers can say what they're REALLY thinking to and about each other without fear of censure or being TSed.

think of it as the one group on DU where the rules of conduct don't apply.

[ThomCat]

1. Oh, hell no.

There would be no way to prevent the animosity from bleeding back into the other forums. :(

[datasuspect]

2. the animosity is already there

i think sometimes true expression is the best palliative.

keep it up for about a week, and then shut it down.

[flvegan]

3. Think of the sex threads, though

There would be more lewd behavior than actual fighting. GD would be a nightmare, though, what with the block n copy use. "Oh, yeah, nice words coming from someone that said this: ..."

[ThomCat]

4. The sex threads would probably turn DU into a top rated

adult site. :9

[Deja Q]

22. Oh God, YES!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[NC_Nurse]

5. People don't already do this?

There's plenty of poo-flinging on this site. Just because it's not a complete free for all doesn't hold most people back.
Frankly, I'd rather NOT know the details of everyone's petty squabbles.

[datasuspect]

6. not to the vile extent that they could

but then, i gooseneck at accident sites.

[triguy46]

7. YOU CAN'T TAKE THE TRUTH!

:mad:

Is that uncivilized enough?

[ThomCat]

13. It's "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

Geez. At least get the quote right, moron! :eyes:


There, how's that for uncivilized. :)

[Parche]

23. Civility

"You don't want the truth. Because deep
down, in places you don't talk about at
parties, you want me in that post. You want
me there
We use words like honor, code,
loyalty...we use these words as the
backbone to a life spent defending
DU. You use 'em as a punchline.

I'd prefer
you just said thank you and went on your
way. Otherwise, I suggest you post a thread.
Either way, I
don't give a damn what you think you're
entitled to.




:hi:

[triguy46]

17. I don't waste my money on movies like some people, I just cherry pick the quotes

:argh: Yeah, this is going pretty well.

[idgiehkt]

8. nah, that's no fun

there's no art to that, no skill...

[datasuspect]

9. i see your point

but it would be pretty neat for at least one day.

[skygazer]

11. There's no art or skill to most of what goes on here

Half the time, I feel like I wandered onto a gradeschool playground.

[Joe Fields]

12. That's about the truth. nt.

[idgiehkt]

14. I know what you mean

I worked in a daycare and I kind of changed my opinion a little, though. Then I realized kids were *way* more mature than most adults I've known, lol. Watching them work out their conflicts and differences really educated me because I don't have kids of my own. It filled me with pretty profound respect for the little guys. I think what happens here is some weird combo of arrested development combined with mid-life bitterness...a kind of piss and vinegar martini or something.

[kwassa]

21. LOL .... and very true.

quoting you:

[Wapsie B]

10. That would have to be offsite.

Somewhere on a totally different board.

[Writer]

15. It will give me a chance to call a few people a psycho hose beast.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. there are plenty of sites like that.

[Gormy Cuss]

19. Yahoo!

to name one.

[Joe Fields]

18. I have a stockpile of napalm, but I'd rather not use it...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

20. I Agree...You Steaming Pile of Putrid Filth

It's an idea whose time has come.

[mzteris]

24. there was an old board I used to be on

that the mods could take any two - or three - parties' threads and make them invisible to everyone but each other.

They could flame away as along as they wanted and no one could see it. AND it was strictly verboten to cut&paste anything from those to post to the general populace.

Funny thing - once people realized NO ONE WAS READING their diabtribes - they'd stop.



Oh - yeah - they also tried a no-holds barred section - and it fizzled due to lack of use.

:shrug:

[idgiehkt]

27. now that is funny

:rofl:

[billyskank]

25. You mean like a DU alt.flame?

[datasuspect]

26. something like that

[asthmaticeog]

28. There are a few forums where disgruntled tombstonees get to spew their sour grapes.

I suppose those could be used for the purpose you describe.
