You have violated the board rules regarding personal attacks several times in this thread.
One more personal attack will result in the suspension of your account for a duration to be determined by mod consensus.
Attention EVERYONE,
I can't be here 24/7. None of the mods can be here all of the time and read everything. Having said that, if you see anything that you feel requires intervention, please send one or all of us mods a PM.
Let's get this thread back on topic, and keep it on topic.
Carry on.

The mindless post-capture applause for the army of police who implemented the “lock-down” of the city after the marathon bombing was part and parcel of that police state.
Someday, those cheering images will make a great clip in some Leni Riefenstahl-style propaganda film glorifying whoever is the current maximum leader of the American dictatorship.
This, I will not tolerate.
SLAD, is this your personal opinion?
Or do you stick to posting links in order to hide behind them?
I know these people. I am myself one who applauded, in my home, at the television.
I am the furthest fucking thing from mindless. I am the furthest fucking thing from a Nazi German.
I know you might prefer if I weren't here. Then you could doom-i-cize and scorn Boston with glee.
But I am here. I am HERE. I am these people you scorn. That makes shit like that personal.
Okay I've been watching this bullshit for long enough without jumping in because it isn't my fight - but come ON. This is why I don't come to RI very often anymore. In EVERY THREAD there's some blowhard asshat running around demanding people censor themselves.
In this thread it's all over the place and IMO this kind of belligerent rhetoric is nauseating.
You don't OWN the opinion or facts on Boston, 4B. You don't have special rights to dictate the appropriate responses/questions/links/observations - do you think you do? I have no idea why you're being permitted to rage and insult and harrass in this thread but let me tell you buddy, that's what you're fucking doing. You sound like you've gone completely off your rocker. Listen to yourself - !!!!
ffffffffffffffffffffffff
What is your hometown? Who are your friends, your family? Who are you?
What if I said that you and everyone you know is a mindless Nazi? Cool? You happy?
Censor yourselves? No, how about: Be thoughtful.
Is that a request for self-censorship, if you can't be thoughtful?
Then, yeah, censor yourselves. Thanks.
so what you seem to be saying is "get out of my way, this is PERSONAL FOR ME, and since it is PERSONAL for ME I get to set all the parameters of behaviour for debate and discussion!" That very sentiment, to me, is what pretty much got "us" (the whole fucking world) into the War on Terror in the first place.
If the parameters are "No calling an entire city of people including several of our regular RI members mindless Nazi-lovers", then sure, please set those parameters for yourself. Or, mods, please set them. It's not just me, dude. Realize that, say, IanEye is also being called a mindless Nazi-lover. Oh, you don't want to call him that, because he's cool, and I'm admittedly an asshole? Tough. That's what you're doing. Yes, this is personal. This is a real city. These are real people. I am real. I exist. IanEye exists. My family and friends are real. IanEye's are, too. We are not actors. We are not what you think we are, or what we are being called. I have tried to explain what we are, why we clapped. Have you bothered to read it?
Fourth Base,
You've been publicly warned on this thread for personal attacks.
You've been publicly warned on this thread for making vague "disinformation agent" accusations.
Now, you're cherry picking quotes and then completely and histrionically misconstruing them.
For the record, nobody is "calling an entire city of people including several of our regular RI members mindless Nazi-lovers."
Nobody did that, which means that all you're doing is shaking sticks at hornet's nests, which is ALSO something that I've warned you against in the past week or so.
You're doing this thread far more harm than good, and even though you've done an admirable job of cagily modifying your tactics after each specific warning I've given you, I'm suspending your account for one week for chronic thread disruption.
Please get this thread back on topic, everyone.

I agree.
Oh, wait...
You weren't talking about yourself?
Nevermind, then. LMFAO.
