A now you decide whats acceptable comment & humour & whats not on this forum?

Luckily thats just in your jumped up fantasy, not in real life..

Which of course means your thoughts & comments on this issue are of are of no consequence to anyone outside of your own head.

Lets stick to what this forum is intended for. Not your little tantrum just now. Where are you coming up with this accusing me of being the head moderater? Go swollow a sword and make sure it stays down in your gut.

Arny, it is you who is out of line. I rarely, if ever, take sides in a sandbox squabble, but in this case one party is clearly over-reacting and unreasonable, and that party is you. Granted, spiral's joking about Nepal might have been a bit tactless, but that does not make it offensive. It is not "out of bounds" for this forum. Get a sense of humor, or get a ban. Your choice.

I suggest getting this tread back on topic. Otherwise it will be locked and "purged" of the BS.

I disagree and you definately are taking sides. But I have a suggestion though. Why don't you both fuck off. Ya, I know, you're going to ban me but that's o.k.

Yes, you are banned. Good riddance.

[Andrew]

Let's get back on track, gents.

[spiral]

Thankyou Fernando/ Berkley.

Good quotes, not realy relevent though to trolls making accusations of Racialism, theft, paedophila, murder, fraud or treason etc.etc. I think..

Personaly I belive "a lie unchalenged will often be believed." JRS {spiral.} 2007.

And as such I will always defend myself & others against malicious allegations. If I hadnt done so Arny wouldnt have revealed himself even further & then been banned.

I hope you never are put in the position where you have to do the same.

The Sidelines are easyer.

Sorry Andrew for the further off topic piece.

If I could come up with something about the Nepalese Naval weaponary I would. Ive tried but I cant.

Cheers,
Spiral

THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR AND THE USE OF 4 LETTER WORDS ONLY IDENTIFIES A TROLL . HE IS NOT HERE TO LEARN AND SHARE ONLY TO STIR THINGS UP AND WILL BE NO LOSS TO THE FORUM AS HE HAS NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE HERE EXCEPT BILE.

ITS KIND OF FUNNY AS I HAVE NEVER USED THE RED THUMBS DOWN BUT IF HE WAS IN THE ARENA IN OLD ROME I AM SURE THE DOWNTURNED THUMB WOULD SURELY BE HIS FATE.

So true, but sometimes what is humor for one/s is not so for the other/s .
When one plays ( so often ) with humor, he must be qualifyed on its extent, to put it that way.
Having said that, i am quite surprised why this thread wasn't locked before it got so low gauged.

[Jim McDougall]

I asked BJ to post some examples of cutlasses in line with the pirate weapons thread which has proven most interesting, and he was kind enough to post these superb weapons, which include a kukri. Naturally the kukri itself is not known as a naval weapon, but the course of this thread should have been to identify the weapons overall and share thoughts and observations. The sheet metal guard on the kukri is clearly variant, and although suggesting many of the naval sheet metal guards on cutlasses, cannot be proven as having maritime connections without some provenance indicating that.

As we have seen, what might have been a worthwhile discussion digressed into a rather pathetic and disappointing display of unfortunate behavior. Hopefully this may serve as a textbook example of how not to behave on a forum.

My compliments to those who remained gentlemen during this regretful display.

If all humour was qualified Fernando it woudnt be humour any more I think? But if I had just said half the Nepali navy is a camoflaged pedailo, he would still fiegn upset. Thats what trolls do.

if Arny objected to my comment {s} {he didnt actualy say what he objected to. Another classic troll tactic.} , fair enough thats fine, he could of said so, withort resorting to terms like "Childish" & "stupid" He was just looking to make me angry so he could have a fight with him playing a moral stance.

It didnt work as ive spoken to trolls before & learnt my lesson hopefully, although I must admit I do respond to them, just not in the way they want.

So he persits with insults & obscenities to both myself & a moderater to get a fight going.


Appologies Bruce, Jim , Mark & evryone else, for bieng part of the trivia in this thread, drawing it away from part its correct focus on occasion.I felt I had to respond though.

Anyway lets get back to the history of the Nepali Naval weapons!

Perhaps Arny can share some examples?

I am afraid you are missing the point, probably because i didn't make myself understood.
It is not humor that has to be qualified, but the person who delivers it. We must take into account the level of culture, religion or stupidity of the person or persons susceptible to be reached by it. Those are the delicate issues, not the fineness of humor itself. If it is poor, the delivered can only laugh of the deliverer. Also if he doesn't like to swallow it and he is well educated, he will just have to put aside in the plate.
Education is from the one who practises it, not from the one who deserves it.
I have once read a certain quotation, that said more or less the following: allways avoid to go down arguing with a low grade person; he is in his natural environment, hence he will destroy you.
