Speak for yourself. You of all people don't speak for the rest of us.
I would never presume to speak for you Roxy. So you get a kick out of bipo's crude commentary. Big surprise.
Where did I say I get a kick out of it? Mostly, I scan past it. You should do the same thing rather than try to dictate to others what their posting style should be.
I'm not at all trying to dictate how anyone posts on A2K.
I can't. I don't have the ability to prohibit bipo from posting and therefore I could never dictate the manner in which he posts.
I can, and have, expressed my repugnance for the manner in which he posts and challenged him to reform. If he chooses not to, there will be no consequences because I do not have the authority to met them out.
It is a typically Liberal sentiment that criticism of the manner in which someone expresses themselves is somehow censorship. It may be puritanical, pedantic, or supercilious, but it is not censorship.
Bipo has the right to use whatever language he please in expressing himself. He does not have the right to do so without criticism from others.
If you don't find his consistent sexual and scatological references offensive, irritating, or degrading of the level of discourse on A2K, fine. If you do and choose to react to it by scrolling, fine as well. You are not about to follow my ways, and I would expect that you not expect me to follow yours.
This is the only thread in which I have challenged bipo's manner of expression. There's no reason for me to do so again, and I have no intention of doing so again.
He will either reform or not.
If he doesn't then I think he his selling his opinions short, but that's entirely up to him.
