dickheads, cunts, all depends ehPlease don't take me so literally when I call myself a dickhead.
I like the banter here, the whole reason I joined is because I saw people having fun and sharing good information. Not sure what you're on about vis-a-vis homogenisation.
I definitely feel there is no place for actual homophobia, sexism, racism, blah de blah de blah; or if there is, there should not be. But I don't think having a small, special set of select people enforcing compliance with that is a very good answer. It gives me a bad neck, for one thing.
Not calling you a dickhead! I had just woken up, so's me brain ain't ticking over properly yet.
What I meant by homogenisation is that EADD has different standards to other parts of bluelight - and I like that.
I find the lounge too smart arse and memes-y, but people can talk, argue and say things here in EADD that would be UA'd elsewhere.
It's what has drawn me to it - the seriousness, or downright stupidity of the bulk of some subforums can get a little boring.
I wanted a change from my 'home' subforum, and EADD banter has been fun.
I've said some things here that would have been unapproved in AusDD - which is not to say that I would like to see all of bluelight go that way - on the contrary.
EADD folks - from what I've seen in the last couple of months, fwiw - seem to have a sense of humour in their quarrels and insults. That's something lacking elsewhere, and I think it is a cultural (British?) phenomenon.
But my opinion ain't really worth shit - just giving you my outsider's, "reformed moderator" thoughts on the topic.
I might have sleepily misunderstood the point to begin with. Fuck this hot weather.
