Canta's Forum

[oblongmelon]

I just got through reading the entire RIP REAGAN thread and I could not believe how ONE PERSON initially turned it into a free-for-all. While I respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinions..crapping on someone else's thread like that was just wrong...so with due process, I am here by requesting of the powers that be-to give Canta his own little section of G|A so that when he want's to be a pain in the ass-anyone who wants to debate him can go there and do so...in Canta's defense, I give him credit for speaking his mind. CONSTANTLY. IN EVERYONE'S THREADS. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT ANYONE GIVES A SH|T ABOUT WHAT HE IS SAYING...so how about it Higher ups-Give him his "A DAY IN HISTORY FORUM"..and let the arrows fly.

[Cantacuzene]

Or why not just ban me?

[oblongmelon]

Or why not just ban me?

that would be like turning the black plague loose. ;)
Seriously Canta-you need to step back and take a breath sometimes.

[guiseppewv]

What good would banning you do? Would you then learn that what you did was inappropriate? Sometimes I appreciate that you speak your mind but sometimes (e.g. the Reagen RIP thread) I think you are just out of line.

[LegendKiller]

Or why not just ban me?



What a fine idea!


Either that or we could have "Canta's bitch fest" and under that we could put as a warning.


"If your white, rich, educated, not a lefty, republican, not communist/socialist, or if you have made any bad decisions, then do not enter here, else you are a white rich fatcat who deserves to go to hell".

I agree with obby... why not have your own forum canta?

[Cantacuzene]

Ignore me then (http://www.gotapex.com/forums/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=ignore&u=7054)

Seriously, if it troubles you so much (and it obviously did since you felt the need to make this ridiculous thread) just do and be happier.

[oblongmelon]

LK don't start in this thread-please...this is just a note to see if the powers that be could unleash him (and you too) in your own little corner of the world.

[LPMiller]

I think any corner of the internet that contained LK and Canta together would quite possibly cause space time itself to warp, destroying all of known space. I think it's a great idea.

[cheapie]

having met both of them irl, i think they're both cool people. however, canta, i don't think you give people and and their opinions the same level of respect and tolerance that you would in person. in the event att said to your face, "reagan just died. rip.", would you say, "now he can pay for his sins."? (not a direct quote) i doubt it.

as far as lk, i have rarely been on the opposite side of an argument and can't really comment. :shrug: he's very smart and has lots of data to back up his arguments. but as they say, a person convinced against his will is of the same opionion still.

[DarkFury]

Or why not just ban me?
I wouldn't go quite that far Canta... that's just being "overly dramatic" here.

But as you stated in a later post, those that are bothered by your banter can easily "ignore" you if it really is that bad. Honestly, I guess my mind just automatically filters out the stuff that really doesn't mean anything to me... but some folks just can't process this info like that.

BTW... back in the day, I think we did used to have "temporary forums"... Maybe they will start one up for ya. :D


On a side note... people generally don't like OPPOSITION to their opinions, however some deal with it better than others. Honestly, it just seems that some folks around here get bent WAY outta shape over what is said and it just gets tiresome at times having to always defend your personal opinions and beliefs from the critique and critisims of your fellow forum members.

Does this kind of dialogue REALLY make us better people when it comes down to "name callin'" and character defamation? Personally, I don't think that it does... but that's my opinion and I'm sure SOMEBODY will disagree with that (which is fine by me...) :shrug:

ROFL, that has to be the funniest post i have seen in a while.


I would say everything in RL as I have said on here, I have no qualms about getting into it with a friend when we are together. In fact, I value friends who are able to speak their mind and differ opinions, having too many "Yes" friends leads to nothing but mental apathy.

If I were to meet canta again, I would go in thinking that what he says on here is something of a release form what he feels in life, which is what it is for me sometimes, so I can relate and understand.

However, i'd have to rip him up a bit in public for saying something so stupid as what he said in the Reagan post.

I didn't realize that anyone "Owned" a thread. IMO, once you start a thread, anything goes. There is no such thing as "crapping" in a forum, except in the "For Sale" Forum.

[Nija]

I like Canta and his comments. I look forward to his comments.

He shouldn't be regulated to any forum

Free Cantacuzene!

I'm making shirts, damn it!

[kei2]

Free Cantacuzene!Free? Where? I want 100 so I can sell them on ebay. And then after I ruin the deal for everybody I'll complain about why I didn't get mine.

i don't think it's the opposition that's a problem. a lot of people here don't like reagan and have said so. but nobody else posted what he did.

i'm believe pretty much the direct opposite what ben_williams thinks of gay marriages, but you don't see he and i at each other's throats. imho, it's all about being polite and sensitive to the poster/thread.

[Nija]

:rolleyes:

You need to call me and confirm that he is actually a deal, so I can tell my manager about the 50 calls I've gotten regarding this Cantacuzene promotion, and how something political is going on ....

;)

[cheapie]

and part of canta's problem is that he posts enough good stuff that i don't really want to put him on ignore. it would be better if he were a total ass instead of an occasional one.


:wavey2:

[zenbooty]

I'm making shirts, damn it!He posted a pic, right?

If I had mad skillz I would be photochopping his face to sport Che Guevera's beard and mustache and red star beret as we speak. :D

[faither]

It's not that anyone "owns" them but there has to be some order. While there are virtually no rules on the Internet and only a few here in the Forums, that doesn't mean there isn't some decorum, protocol and common sense. Without that, you have total anarchy. That decorum is what stops most folks from posting non sequiturs to every thread.









I've got no problem with anarchy...but in the proper place. :winkie:

[Showtime]

Since when does Cant warrant this kind of attention? He hates a dead president... big deal.

it's not the fact that canta hates reagan. if jel had started a RIP thread talking about wilt chamberlain dying and i'd have interjected, "now he can face judgement for his whoring" i'm certain i'd have gained some unwanted attention as well.

[DarkFury]

Ok... I can go with that.

However answer me this... (and I'm not trying to argue here mind you...)

Had Canta started a new thread... which stated his feelings about Reagan, during this period of "mourning"... then would people still have the same reaction (i.e. respect for the dead)?

Personally, I think he would STILL have gotten the same reaction (but alas this is just an assumption...) since the folks who have lifted Reagan up as a hero would be offended by this "blasphemy" of the recently deceased. I'll agree though... tact and timing are definitely critical when discussing topics like this.

Actually, he might have gotten quite a bit of the same reaction from some people. But if it had been done in the correct forum, in a new topic, then it is a political discussion. Not bashing someone that just died. :shrug: My opinion, such as it is.

I think it would've gotten the same reaction too... no matter what forum it was posted in (but I agree.. the Political forum would've been the proper place for it, but still probably not the "right time" for it.)

[brainsmile]

I don't want to ignore you Canta... I just thought it'd be fun to have your own forum

[bachviet]

:stupid: This might be the sanest thing I've seen Jel post since the NBA playoffs started :hihi:.
:stupid: x4

[oblongmelon]

Oh don't get me wrong-I at times enjoy the cut throat dialogues between Canta v. LK v. entire internet v. world history...but there is a time and a place for everything -no?

[ufcrusher]

Give me a freaking break here. Canta and I have gotten into it before. We have different views on some things, similar views on others. If you have a problem with what he said, either ignore him (by just not paying attention to his post or hitting the ignore button) or you can be constructive, take it to PM and ask him to explain his statement and do your best to deconstruct it while bolstering your own point of view.

Many of us are guilty of mental masturbation on occassion....canta (among others) likes to stretch his mental muscle more often than not and his opinion just happens to run heavily to one side.

While I agree that some of his posts are definite flame bait and should not have been made, suggesting that he gets his own forum is giving him more credit that is fair.

[oblongmelon]

you want your own forum don't you. LOL

[ufcrusher]

Nah.....I dont want my own forum. No one listens to me anyway...I think they all think I will bill them. :shrug:

[ShawnLee]

:wavey2:Exactly. Haha.
I get angry, get halfway to click, decide against it, things calm down, Canta becomes more cool (or at least less of a pain), and then the whole thing starts over. It's a sad cycle.

Hahahahahahaha! And I love my custom rank. "What I get an award? Am I enjoying it? Yes I am."

[nickel]

well i wouldn't want him to leave or to be banned or to have his "own forum". i just wish he could stop being so cynical and so disrespectful.
--like try to be more like he is in real life or so i gather.

[g222leav]

quit-cha bitchin' and get outta da kitchen!!!

[Memo]

Canta and LK do get out of hand sometimes BUT if you don't like it your really should take his advice and put him on ignore. That's the reason the feature is implemented into the forum. If you had Canta on ignore the Reagan would have been just a thread with a bunch of "RIP :(" ---just like y'all wanted it.

[eSDee]

Another vote for the Ignore feature. It works wonders. By the way those who think that Canta is way out of line but never say anything about LK are being hypocritical. LK can say things that are just as out of line as Canta.

[oblongmelon]

putting Canta on ignore does no good when others continue the aruguments..so what good does putting one person on ignore do? nothing....

[ialsohaveadream]

Here's an idea...just don't read his posts. It doesn't even involve much button clicking, except the "page down" or scroll button on your mouse.

[nickel]

the ignore feature sucks. just because i don't want to hear it doesn't mean i shouldn't allow it to be heard.

let's not ignore the facts, if someone is out of line they should be told so by the powers that be, and then maybe they will change their behavior.

[oblongmelon]

Here's an idea...just don't read his posts. It doesn't even involve much button clicking, except the "page down" or scroll button on your mouse.

great idea but why should anyone have to scroll through 5 pages of flaming by Canta and LK before getting back to the original intended post? comeon...and I do read some of his posts because sometimes he makes a good point-as does LK-but it's monotonous-and getting very old.

[ialsohaveadream]

I agree. It gets old quickly. Once the thread has gone too far in that direction, I just move on to a different thread. Let them have their lovers' quarrel.

I still like the suggestion that they go to Mass. But then, I'm against gay marriage, and the governor doesn't want folks from outside the state anyways. :P

(LK's still cooler by far though. Haha)

[le_stick]

it's only internet, virtual world...more or less. We all can say whatever we want at long as it doesn't violate any rules of the forum. I don't understand how can people get angry thru chating/posting. After all, this is the place where we can say something that we not normally do it in the real life and get away with it.

I think we suppose to release our stress, frustration, anger result from day to day in the real life by chating/posting. Not get more stress, frustration, anger.
My 1.5 cents... :)

It may be a "virtual world", but I assure you.... most of the people in this community are "quite real".

Yeah, you don't have to "take everything said here personally", but people do still have feelings and others who choose to participate in this "community" should at least respect that.

That is the difference between a forum like G|A and just some average "joe blow" message board.

jesus jumped up fiddlin christ. i stop by, click on the first thread, and why am i not surprised that it is completely non-entertaining, and in fact damn near painful to read? so what percentage of posts around here are about - instead of an actual topic - he said blah blah because he's blah blah and that's far inferior to me (or to the average person, or to everyone else on the planet, depending on your mood) ... approaching 99% yet?

i honestly can't keep my sanity worrying about what everyone else should or should not do... obviously i'm not alone.

anyone else hear echos of "mooooom, he's looking at me funny! mooooooo-ooooom, he said a bad word! MOMMY HE DIDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES AND I HATE HIM!"

well, i farted a lot, fifty-eighty-one-hundred times, i farted a lot of times, and now there's poop. in my pants! oops. and on my leg. oops. and my sock. can i take a bath?

everybody go hug a kid, have sex, or smoke a joint. all three will be even better. i'll check on the aggregate mood here again when you have all complied.
