Williamson the bootlick

Post by Sean Evans » Sat Sep 15, 2012 11:07 pm

I called Harvey Williamson a bootlick at CCC and Miguel deleted my post! Is bootlick now a banned word at CCC? I notice the word moron can be used! So I guess I should have called Williamson a moron :roll:

The charter of CCC is clear.
Calling someone a bootlick is a violation of the CCC charter.

If you think someone is a bootlick, say the things that he/she did that make you think that.
That's not against the charter, if the things you say are true.
Then, people can form their own opinions and if the person is a bootlick, then people will say, "That persons is a bootlick, for crying out loud!"

When you use name calling to try to make your argument sound stronger, you actually make it much weaker.
IMO-YMMV

You might try growing up a bit and stop posting zero-content insults over there. And then coming over here and whining about it when they are deleted...

If you have anything useful to say, of course, there should be no problems...

Well I did state that Crafty and its author were both old and irrelevant and that was deleted. So useful posts are deleted too! The problem with CCC is a Gestapo type mentality right now. Impossible to post anything controversial at CCC now!

"Gestapo" is so mundane. Bob's moderation team was called an "oligarchy". What must we do to be held in the same esteem as Bob's team?

How was that "useful"? You think no one is capable of looking at the rating lists and noticing Crafty is not at the top? You think Crafty is not "useful"? Any idea how many people look at it to learn ideas, particularly how to do a parallel search? You really know nothing, and have nothing useful to say, but you have this mental addiction that forces you to say something. Negative attention is better than no attention it seems. Again, "grow up". That is kid-like behavior.

BTW, I'd say the Rybka/Fruit/Crafty discussions there are quite controversial. Yet they continue with no problems. The only requirement to your posting there is that it have some valid content. All you seem to be able to do is post insults. That is YOUR problem, not CCC's problem.
