I want to talk. I want to discuss. The recent discussion I am in has three/four people joking back and forth stuck right in the middle of it and has become the bulk of the posts within that thread. Is their no rule about staying on topic?

I had been looking for a place that was not all memes and emotes.

Wrong place?

You're looking for a debate forum, bud. These threads are more like conversations then arguements and any good conversation takes on a life of its own, right?


Still, you could choose to only respond to the argument. Just because someone has joked does not mean that the topic has become invalid.

Hmmm. Let me check the terms of service (TOS) that functions as the rules around here.

Terms of service - also conveniently located at the bottom of each page.

No, there is not a rule about forcibly keeping people on topic.
It's sort of like getting a cat to do exactly what you want. Some days the laser pointer works, other days not so much.

It also depends whether it's a 'Be Respectful' or if 'Some Rudeness' is allowed.

Ahhh the Forum Police have arrived.

Let's repress the freedom of expression!

It would seem that you have been participating in propagating "memes" (and maybe "emotes" ) about "feminism".

It also seems that you now want to dictate what others say and think...maybe so you "win"....

@PatrickAnthony Said

Wrong place?


Only you can decide this grasshopper.




I will say that if "you" want to promote ideas that are repressive in nature (or appear to be repressive), you are probably going to get ganged up on here.

TFS is like a dysfunctional family.... some of us get along most of the time, some of use don't get along most of the time, some of us get along some of the time....all depending on the topic and opinion.

But, we also like to have fun....and make fun of each other for the silly things we have said and done over the years...

Also, you kind of need to suck it up around here, if you have a thin skin you are going to suffer from some severe rashes around here.

And finally....people around here, for the most part, like to fact check things. If you expect to post something and just have people believe you, you will be disappointed.

(And generally speaking YouTube vids by people expressing their opinions are not viewed as legitimate sources of either facts or news.)


Now if you want to pretend like you are having a meaningful philosophical discussion which is based on people agreeing with you because you think that you have some genius insights into the fabric of the universe and mankind...you should probably get together with some friends an smoke a joint at which point you can all be truly awed by your ability to solve the worlds problems, if only the world would just listen to you.

Sometimes Chaski is nice, and sometimes not so nice!
Chaski's always a cool cucumber. Hey, we're entitled to joke in here, right? :plobonga:

But, Chaski's family - and once you get to know us, we're a good group of people. Best thing to do, go with the flow - others will eventually get back to the Original Post(OP)/issue if you respond repeatedly 'in kind'. If they don't, it's kind of a message that others for the time being at least - don't want to go there. Generally, someone will, but ...nothing is for certain.

Ohhhh, I am using a newer/different computer, so will try quoting again see if it processes faster then it did.

Chaski: yup, it was just a matter of time before we got hit with the forum police again. siiggghhhhh!

To be honest, what you, apparently, have been looking for was...

1. People that completely agree with you.

Or

2. People that don't agree with you, but don't actually know how to either debate, nor base their arguments on facts or logic, so that you can pretend like you "WON!".

You, apparently, were never "looking for a place" to actually have a meaningful exchange of ideas nor debate base on either logic and/or reason and/or facts.

TFS is kinda like your parent's basement. There are three dudes posting here who are pretty hot for attention and have umpteen user accounts a piece.

Aside from them I'm gathering that there are less than twenty other genuine posters.

So I should prolly warn that if you came here hoping to meet the love of your life who you can move away to some foreign country to be with ...your princess can be found easier in other castles.

I just use this forum to drop random thoughts and run with half expectation that some people (other than Hollywood) will benefit.

Allow me to offer you a program for the TFS Opera

I. A poster will allure us with his/her consideration of suicide

II. Several other posters will ignore the testament completely and just proceed to check the post for spelling errors.

III. Dave will end the show with a picture of Pee Wee Herman's face peeking out of Nell Carter's anus.
