Originally Posted By mele And even if he hadn't used one single curse word, but had used allowable words, the nature of the posts were threatening and vile and could have gotten him banned anyway. Why would people post here after being told they're in the wrong for being upset with what was written? Thought we were through talking about this?

That's the vibe I got. (Although I guess I'll never know all the details since I wasn't here, but I don't have an issue with that) I'm sure once the restaurant calms down from it's opening weeks you will all get to enjoy my brand of stupidity again.

It wasn't the words he used, it was the thoughts and ideas he conveyed. Unacceptable in any form.

As mele pointed out it was how the words were used. Plus, not everyone is me and ok with swearing and that's why we the Community Standards to follow. I generally have to be very careful when I get on a roll on LP, cause I swear more than I should for emphasis and I can't here but I respect that.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I guess I missed much of the really bad posts then. Sorry about that. I may be basing my comments on just the ones that I read. That said. I still don't like the 'Man Dies While Raping Woman' thread. If I were LP Czar, I'd remove it.
