I'm not going to name anyone here, but can't we have an infraction system where a repeated offender would eventually get their IP banned? It seems to me that someone/ some persons create outrageous arguments simply for the sake of arguing.
It's like you don't love me anymore!

Nope.
This is a corporate-owned forum. It is, essentially, a dictatorship. We the people have zero power.

There is, it's called the Report function. If someone is disruptive then report them. If it happens enough they will get banned. If they return and continue to cause trouble they can get an IP ban.
The other option is the Ignore function. Just turn off anyone you don't want to deal with. If everyone dislikes someone so much they all do it the net result is essentially the same, though there is nothing stopping them making a new account. They might even call it "Son of _____" or something, just to rub your nose in it.
I'm too piggly to not be pigknight.
You could be Le Chevalier de Porc. Or Das Schweinritter.
And there's always the caveat that if such a system existed, it could be used on you. Imagine how disruptive a bloc of jerks could be by vote banning people simply because they have however many votes it would take to kick them.
Or even one jerk with multiple accounts.
I just find it fascinating that when some people, but not all, see someone saying stuff they do not like, they jump on the censorship wagon pretty fast. Usually these are people who cannot debate in a respectful way.
Speaking solely for myself...
It's not so much what you say as it is the manner in which you say it...
Wait...
No.
It is what you say...
And you think you are the only one that disagrees with me?!
Either way...

Has nothing to do with your inability to carry a conversation that makes any sense at all. Surely not that.
his conversations sometimes make sense but his arguements never do:p
Fixed!
his conversations sometimes make waffles but his arguements eat them :p
Fixed!
But you already knew that didn't you, Pennarin, if that is your real name.
Dude, check post counts and join dates before throwing out accusations.

It is a joke! Most of us here do not use our real name for our accounts!
Your jokes tend to not be funny.
And people do not have a sense of humor.
Correct. I do not. It was surgically removed at birth. They were trying to cut the umbilical cord, and instead severed my sense of humor. While they were able to cut the cord on the second try, there was nothing they could do to reattach my sense of humor.
And so I am doomed to live the life of a humorless man. I even have a costume. It involves a turtleneck and a serious demeanor.
Edit: stupid cold fingers aren't cooperating with me typing right now.
I know plenty of people who are a joke, and most of them aren't funny at all.
Good point. ;)

I hate it when that happens. Er ... to me, anyway.

Now this is funny!
Yeah, sounded like an accusation of puppeteering to me.
It was.
But now he is trying to back-peddle and claim he was just "joking".
*shrug*
typical goldo, so I am not surprised.
It is all in the intention. I am not even sure how we get this debate from me saying to a guy who uses in a forum the name of a Athasian Dragon King if it is his real name.
Oh there was no debate from me. I just felt like tossin' the question out there for funsies.

What are you implying about Jesus?!
Did someone just imply that Jesus consorted with witches?
Jesus loves witches!
[I'm gonna get banned, arn't I?
]Jesus hates all of you... He would have told you that himself, but they deleted his latest sockpuppet account.

I'm jewish lmao jesus= nice guy but ehhh :p
And I'm sure it disappoints Him to know some of you are being so callous and careless with His name.
It's ok though, He will forgive you if you but ask...
Actually, Jesus loves us all.
Clearly we're listening to different preachers.

Perhaps.
Not that I know, but I do not believe Jesus loves you any less just because of your sexual preference.
Maybe not what "traditional" Christianity believes, but it is what I believe.
Am I wrong?
Who knows.
But I'll be sure to ask Jesus when I see Him... not that I am in a hurry to see Him...
I'm jewish lmao jesus= nice guy but ehhh :p
So was Jesus.
Now if you were Roman....
