I didn't say small business, dumbass, I said one that is looking for investors like existing venture capital companies. Hell, make a kickstarter out of it.

I'm not JayRoe and this isn't iSOLEETED. Be civil or ignore me. I'm not going to be called a dumbass on my own forum. Only warning.

Start-ups and small businesses go hand in hand. I didn't say you said small businesses but I do believe that was the implication you made.

If someone is ill-informed, doesn't that make them dumb? Or do facts and specificity not matter, just whatever you feel is right, and everyone is a special little flower in their own way, and all words are equal.

Those terms only go hand-in-hand because people give no caution in the words that they employ. What I typed is what I meant, and if I had meant a small-scale, sustainable profit-over-revenue business model, I would have said "small business." What I said was that this is a nice chance for high-risk, high-reward tech groups looking for financial investment and a decent gross margin. That, and existing companies with the ability to extend into new markets, who have already built up a consumer base and have PR to exploit. How is reigning in government overreach, and allowing for more choices to be available, a bad thing, especially when the rules that it set forth were so ambiguous? Even then, the whole thing is just a technicality that will likely be cleared up within the year, after new wording is hammered out.

You should think on updating the rules in Off-topic, pertaining to showing deference to yourself and whatnot, as well.

You, of all people, should not be telling the business owner how to run their business. I thought you respected property rights?

You're right though, this is all just a technicality as there's far-reaching support (outside of the major ISPs) for net neutrality. The big bad government will modify it's ruling and regain control, somehow.

You're right though...

I know, but I'm not aware that I was telling anyone what to do with what belongs to them, or that a suggestion has become synonymous with forced compliance. If you have a sign on your door inviting people in, so long as they abide by your rule of taking their shoes off before entering, and then shoot them for sneezing, I'm not exactly sure how property rights figure into it. Or where it being a business factors into that scenario, honestly.

Go into your local shop, tell them they're a dumbass for whatever reason and then tell them that they should have made it clear that it's not allowed when they tell you to leave. Please, this site may not make money but I (along with Dr_Grinch) own the domain, the forum and all of the data included in it including your account and your comments.

You can either respect the owners of this site or you can leave.

I'm an investor in a local shop, whose owners I generally greet with a "how's it going, assholes?" so I'll try that next time I'm in. If I weren't counting on preferential treatment, and knew of a shop where rudeness was not only common-place, but expected, then I'd likely give into those expectations. Generally in environments where a certain parlance is prevalent, you tend to adjust your lexicon to fit in. I'm finding it funny that you're so adversarial about venturing too far into socialism, by treating everyone equally, though.

Cool, when you address me in a similar familial manner where I know you're joking and not being disrespectful, I will not be offended. However, given that I understand your intention to demean and disrespect I don't react the same way as your friend that owns a business.

This is all quite humorous to me considering your stated opinions (on iSOLEETED, the day you thought you were banned) relating to this very subject. I believe the end of that discussion was (to paraphrase): it would not have bothered you if you actually did get banned because you respect other's "property rights".

It's also funny how you think that the expectations of regular members (eg You) are the same as the expectations of moderators and administrators. I've been active on many forums over many years and that is never the case.

Am I showing that I'd be bothered? I do respect your ownership of a nearly-dead forum, really. I'm posting in it, and if this is a business, then wouldn't that be somehow analogous to providing you with my custom? What can be taken as offensive on this site, when racial epitaphs are peppered throughout, and the NSFW section has the content it does? I dialogue with you, the same as anyone else; doesn't that fit in with your leftist ideological queerness?

Also, there's a joke to be made by using active and forum in the same sentence, in regards to this site. Not sure if I can pull it off, though, or if you'd find it offensive if I did. I'm so nonplussed, now.

Yes, you are showing that you're bothered. It's quite clear. You're even resorting to attacks on the forum you visit (and clearly enjoy being apart of, unless you came back from hibernation out of boredom) because you're upset about my simple request to not personally attack me or any other administrator, especially without provocation.

I have a feeling you really want to test the waters. You really should just let it out.

I think this is going back to someone being ill-informed, having feelings over facts, and thinking everyone is a special little flower. Maybe, in deference, you could just think of me saying "hi, friend!" every time I called you a dumbass? I'd like a bit of clarification as what context an "attack" would be, in regards to iSONEWS, though. I am genuinely interested in that.

Maybe, in deference to you telling me what to do, you could be more willing to follow simple requests from superiors (as much as I'm sure the idea of me being your superior here bothers you, it's sadly true). I'm not going to argue with you anymore on this issue. Either accept it or leave. I'm going to split this thread and move it to Website Feedback and close it. If you personally attack me or any other administrator again, or bring this argument up again, your privileges will be removed.
