im putting the cliff notes in points 1-5 first, and if you want to read the rambling below the bulleted points, go for it
1) for those of us who consider EF a family, it is a slap in our faces to see a few people cheer when one of our own gets banned. we should care for eachother as a community. thats what makes EF fun.
2)if you cant handle horseplay, get the fuck out of the pool
3) there is no such thing as "womanhating" only people with a victims perception. in life, if someone is rude to someone of the opposite sex, you dont label them "woman/man hater", because they will laugh in your face. why is it an acceptable label here?
4) when dating, people fall in love, and then alot of relationships fail because they slowly start picking things out they dont like about eachother and trying to change it. Elite Fitness Chat and Conversation IS WHAT IS- quit trying to change it with whining, crying, and bitching. If you dont like Chat and Conversation, then go to the MANY OTHER FORUMS that will suit your interests and needs. It is selfish and bratty to try and form it around your own personal wants and emotions, by banning the members that make this place so diverse and entertaining. learn from eachother. We all have alot to offer. if you dont like what someone has to offer, or disagree with it, then disagree with it, dont demand that the administration rid C&C of it. thats just selfish to the other members.
5) who remembers that sticky about the "ignore" feature? USE IT IF YOU really hate someone's POSTS!!! again!!! you do not have to read a post if you dont want to! just because you dont like a post, doesnt mean your brain speaks for everyone else's brain. again- selfish brat mentality

from what iv seen EFers classify themselves into 3 catagories:
first type: the type that says nothing on here matters, its all jokes, all fun and games, have a thick skin because everyones sarcastic, no matter how dark their humor gets, or how serious they seem.
and the second type: those that LOVE everyone on EF, think EF is a family (even if it is a dysfunctional one), and have an internal respect for everyone on this site.
and the 3rd: a mixture of the two. (id like to say i fall into this catagory).
but what iv NEVER seen is anyone make the post
"Hi, my feelings get hurt easy, please be nice, ill stay out of the drama, if you dont include me, i dont find dark humor funny so please keep me far away from it as possible".
with that being said, since we all classify ourselves under type 1, 2, or 3, how can we be GLAD that one of our own is banned?
sure gambino is a cynical idiot who bashes steroids and hates on lestat's avg wimmins along side swole,
sure lestat genuinely gets bothered by other people's faith in god.
yeah needto cant spell.
yeah KB makes some stupid jokes every now and then that other people might not like.
AAP, a moderator, says racist shit from time to time, but hes a fag too.
sure digger has gray pubes and likes to bring his personal feelings into his moderation,
yeah scottsman is a man in a dress,
yeah im a lil idiot virgin, etc,
thats some diversity right there, and what makes EF awsome. if someone rubs you the wrong way and takes away from the C&C enjoyment, there is an ignore feature. this pretending to be thick skinned and then crying about stupid jokes or cynicism or whatever you wanna call it is just straight up PATHETIC. we arnt toddlers, we are supposed to be "adults". part of adult humor is getting offended. if someone says something you disagree with, then formulate a logical arguement back, or just smile big and dismiss it.
for those of you with sibblings, how many times do they do someting to piss you off, or say something that makes you want to punch them real hard, and then you forget about it 5 minutes later? thats because the little things dont matter.
notice i havnt said anything about the women?
we need to have some serious guidlines about what IS and what is NOT acceptable on here. this "you are a woman hater" feminatzi movement is getting out of hand here. there is already a "woman's board" that men cant even post on!!! i dont take personal offense from any of the many RUDE comments women have made to me here. the men constantly make fun of eachother and we brush it off and love it, but for some reason the "womanhater" finger is pointed at men time and time again.
it reminds me of the "youre a racist" trend thats going on in the US.
