The DERP! thread

[JJ Husker]

Let's see if I can shed some light here. The exchange at issue—the NTTAWWT post—was between Knapp and kchusker. And kchusker stated above that he did not report Knapp’s post. But what if someone else on the board found that post to be offensive? Or what if that someone else thought that others might find the NTTAWWT post to be offensive? Does it make any difference that even though neither Knapp nor kchusker took umbrage to that post, someone else might find it offensive?

As I said above, I don't think NTTAWWT rises to the level of inappropriateness that we need a decision rule on it. But just be aware that, even though *you* don’t think it’s offensive, perhaps someone else does.

I get where you're going here. But for action to be taken shouldn't the post be objectively offensive? As in, no doubt about it, that's bigotry, everyone who reads that would agree. I can't believe that post was considered a no-doubt-about-it slur. Even taking the context of the argument into account.

And that has been my point all along (which maybe I didn't make that well). Seems to me it has to be objectively offensive, not merely claimed offensive by someone. If some lone claim of being offended is the only low hurdle that has to be cleared, then I really want my complaint (post #129) of being offended addressed.

Sometimes people have agendas that are completely unrelated to the situation at hand. If a person with an agenda hits the report button, it's sometimes hard for the Mods to tell what their real motives are. Mods don't go everywhere and don't see everything.

Yep. I agree. Nuance's statement could really be taken out of context to mean all sorts of things. Of course, if you don't take his comment for what he meant it to mean than you are probably in the wrong.

This thread was the weakest of sauces before this discussion. This was a good discussion. It's better than this thread deserved.

I was going to say the same thing. This thread has become pretty great, considering whatever the f#*k it was originally supposed to be.

Good show, guys! 3.5/5 - Would watch again!

Originally I just wanted a place to make snarky responses to posts I found stupid and I didn't want to clog up the DBHOF. Now that calling people out is frowned upon for me, I am glad it can be used for venting frustrations over stupid bullsh#t.
And GSG, who let you outta my basement?

Do you guys read the things HuskerShark posts in the political thread? It's difficult to pinpoint a single derpy comment. It's all equally derpy.

edit:

I take that back, that "alpha" stuff was above and beyond.

Do you remember the Ron Paul 'rLOVEution' campaign in 2008? Trump 2016 is the current iteration of that derp. It's equally fervent, equally inane.

Yikes;

I go away for some much needed rec time and come back and see that this had escalated further/deeper.

Who knew all these revelations would have come to the forefront from the original stupid image posting.

Side note: I will go on record and continue to be on the side who feels the reporting of someones post is just lame, but I get it!

Cheers all.
