Jesus, the censorship in this place!

There was very little, if ANYTHING, offensive in that thread. And it was a completely valid discussion.

It's starting to annoy me... just LET THE DAMN GUY POST.

I don't want to "go bad" and end up being banned and having leave and stuff like that. The forums are helpful, but they seem to be advocating of one of America's worst problems to-date, and that's the censoring of everything in our lives...

Can't we all just get along? Be helpful? And, uh, not infringe on free speech?

Oh well, 'nuf said...

You know, the best part is how misha wont listen to you, and the even funnier part is how the sheep will follow him. Like Ruby for example. When I was getting crapped on before, Ruby jumped on the bandwagon and said something like "YEAH! CA$h! You suck! I hate you go away!"

Then I yelled at her and told her I havent even talked to her before.

Now she likes me

Hrm. Small wonder that she likes me after talking to me. Most people would, but they're too ignorant and dumb to think for themselves.

Ca$h

PS: No insults in this post but I hope it doesnt get deleted for no reason like some of my other posts.

Actually, by calling most people who don't understand you ignorant and dumb you are insulting them. But I'm not going to be petty. Just read my post in the other Ca$h thread here... it's as simple as that. And yes, if you do behave, you'll get your name back. I have no problem with that.

ignorant \Ig"no*rant\,
a. [F., fr. L. ignorans, -antis, p. pr. of ignorare to be ignorant. See Ignore.]

1. Destitute of knowledge; uninstructed or uninformed; untaught; unenlightened. (Hasn't talked to me)

He that doth not know those things which are of use for him to know, is but an ignorant man, whatever he may know besides. --Tillotson.

2. Unacquainted with; unconscious or unaware; -- used with of.

Ignorant of Ca$h, I fear not shame. --Dryden.

3. Unknown; undiscovered. [Obs.]

Alas, what ignorant sin have I committed? --Shak.

4. Resulting from ignorance; foolish; silly.

It is FOOLISH and SILLY to hate me when you havent spoken to me, and all you do is follow the shepard. Hence, I'm not insulting anyone, I speak the truth.

Ca$h, Why can't you see!? Why do you never listen!? The way you behave within the forums is just begging for people to dislike you and be irritated by you. For example.. The slightest excuse to go on about your 3 meagre cars and your off on a car rant mission! You bore us with tales of Z rated tyres and that your car goes 1mph short of its limit or whatever.. WE DON'T CARE! Wake up and get a life! Grow up!! Stop ranting like a child just because you can't get your cracked beta copy of Driver to work or whatever it is you have pirated this week. Quotes from your school dictionary are not clever or impressive either. Act your age, not the number of cars you have.

I think Misha & Co have been entirely right in blocking your name/s.. I only wish you were blocked from posting altogether. I'm sick of your childish sprawl all over the forums.

Well, I actually think that last post of Ca$h's was pretty impressive. it had quotes. it had definitions. it had the lot. no swearing either.

And i think Ca$h is listening. he is changing. but he doesn't want to back down completely. that's cool with me.

Give ca$h back his name and let's forget all of this.
IF he acts up, give him a warning. let everyone see the warning, then start banning again if he keeps it up. he knows the deal know.

iPaul, Why can't you see!? Why do you never listen!? The way you behave within the forums is just begging for people to dislike you and be irritated by you. For example.. .. You're British!! You bore us with tales of tea time and how you don't like Ca$h, the coolest guy in the world!.. WE DON'T CARE! Wake up and get a life! Grow up!! Stop ranting like a child just because you don't like a certain member from the macNN forum... Act your age, not the number of teeth you have.

AHahAHHAhHAhhahaHA! Dude all the British people are going to be ticked! Im just joking though. Except to Paul. I've never talked to him, and he complains about me without any examples. Hrm. Ok.

Ca$h, without knowing you I can admit that your last remark about Brits just about covers it: if your trip is to casually bash and b!tch whoever you want, there are many other places to do so: try the-park.com, lots of pointless bashing going on there. Get a grip or censor yourself, cause this ain't the place.

Too bad, because I was about to fall for your cr@p... Oh well... BTW I'm canadian, whatcha gotta say about that? C'mon, prove my point.

Um... didn't you read the part "I'm just joking though"?
Have you NEVER told a discriminatory joke? Ever?
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" or whatever.
Hell... don't take it so seriously man!

Cipher13,

I stand corrected: you should hear what we have to say about americans.



But there's a difference between joking around with pals and using the medium to publicly bash others. Might be interpreted as a joke to you (as to I, although a bad one), but others might not see it that way and stay away from a perfectly good (Dang, the best!) Mac Forum.

I'm not taking it too seriously, just annoyed that's all. I can't believe how much screen space this whole thing's been taking.

And besides, we should spend our quality bash-time to bash arrogant PC Weenies out there....

Come on guys, can't you see that without Ca$h this forum would lack any kind of spunk or humor? I would understand if there were 10 guys that acted just like Ca$h in macnn, but there is only one...Ca$h. When I began posting here in September, he was the very first thing I noticed about these forums. By the way, who cares if he talks about his cars all the time?? That is what the louge is for, right? I would much rather hear about Ca$h's car than hear someone shove their political beliefs in my face. You have to admit, we all look forward to what he posts...

Heh. Thanks ruby. Hey Pauly boy, I thought of something too.

See.... here is the summary. I am REAL, and you are full of sh*t. Why? Before anyone gets mad, let me explain.

He says that I bore him with my stories and cars. And that HE DOESNT CARE.

Hrm. Well, I never said he DID have to care, so its not like that matters.... I just posted something. Some people obviously DO care, thats why they reply.

And you say that you dont care about what I post. Ok.... um... what are you doing here then? Exactly. You do care. *kiss* I LOVE YOU MAN!

And Misha? no. When have I made examples? I was just reacting to other people.

Gotta go.

Ca$h

plain and simple, he isn't in my face and he does'nt invade my space. let him post and keep his name. if he offends, just ignore him like you would do to anyone else. i believe somewhere in the constitution of the u.s.a. it says , the right to free speech........

oh, and one more thing......other than take his name away, and delete his posts, what exactly have you accomplished?? i have seen more threads about cash and his "rantings" or "let him keep his name" than i think i have on actual computer topics. he is still here, and he still posts. he just has to keep changing his name. you have not stopped him, and if anything have made him very popular. i believe instead of being a problem, you have actually turned him into a martyr.

Ooops, My mistake, I obviously should have put "Grow Up" in Capital letters.

As for what I care about, I just don't like to see your pointless childish remarks all over the forum. It just isn't necessary. Nor is this the place for it. Your old enough to know better.

And as for your remarks about the British. That is essentially racism. And is another good example of the fact that you need to think before you post.

Then there is your remark about me being full of sh*t. I've contributed far more meaningful posts to this forum than yourself. So who is really full of it?

You talk as if you have done no wrong. In which case why is it you have been blocked from this forum numerous times? Where as I have never been blocked once. As Misha said in the other post, you have to agree to the terms and conditions to use this forum. You obviously don't agree with those terms, so why do you continue to post here and make a nuisance of yourself?

When I was young my friends and I played hockey on a little pond. One of the guys had a seemingly psychopathic dog who'd run out onto the ice, barking frantically and sliding around as he tried his best to bite the leg of any skater who got too close. We had to keep our eyes on the other players, the puck and also on that crazy dog, else we'd be nipped by the crazy critter.

That dog reminds me a little of Cash's antics. A little crazy, slightly dangerous, and totally rude

As I recall, that dog was finally hit by a truck

heh. iPaul responded again. He really does care about me. Awwww....

Anyway: "As for what I care about, I just don't like to see your pointless childish remarks all over the forum. It just isn't necessary. Nor is this the place for it. Your old enough to know better."

As for what I respond to, I just don't care whether you like seeing my childish posts all over this forum. Some people like them. If you don't like em, don't read em.

"And as for your remarks about the British. That is essentially racism. And is another good example of the fact that you need to think before you post."

I was thinking. And the fact is I was trying to annoy you and tick you off, since you come on here bashing me but contradict yourself and provide me with easy to tear apart arguements. So... looks like my thinking worked, as it did annoy you.

"Then there is your remark about me being full of sh*t. I've contributed far more meaningful posts to this forum than yourself. So who is really full of it?"

Um. No you haven't. If you added up my other names, including cash68, which has well over 1000 posts, and all the ones that have been banned, even if HALF of my posts were meaningful (which would actually be a higher percentage), I'd still have over 600 meaningful posts. But this is the "mine is bigger than yours" arguement. Its stupid. What it boils down to is that :

A. I can post here
B. You dont like me
C. I say either don't read my posts, or sit on a pickle and rotate pal.

"You talk as if you have done no wrong. In which case why is it you have been blocked from this forum numerous times? Where as I have never been blocked once. As Misha said in the other post, you have to agree to the terms and conditions to use this forum. You obviously don't agree with those terms, so why do you continue to post here and make a nuisance of yourself?"

I've broken the rules. Yep. I push the envelope, and annoy some people. Sorry. But have I ever just come on here and called someone a moron for no reason? Nope. Most people who don't like me (such as you) havent even ever talked to me before... and then you come on and say how much you don't like me? And to that ignorance I reply with sarcasm and witty smack downs.

I continue to post here because I like a lot of the people on this board (even the canadians! hehehe. They are cool), it provides informative mac news, cool people that i havent met yet, and I like pissing off people like you.

Ca$h

Ca$h:

Quote "I've broken the rules. Yep. I push the envelope, and annoy some people. Sorry."

So you admit that you have broken the rules and that you are sorry. But why say sorry if you just continue to make an ass of yourself? No point saying sorry if you don't mean it.

You also have this thing about people you say have not "spoken" to you before, and that essentially they have no right to give you a hard time. Rubbish! You post here, and thats what people have to go on to judge what kind of person you are. Unless your some kind of schizophrenic who suddenly becomes a nice approachable person when confronted face to face. But you don't do much to convince people that your worth meeting face to face.

As if that was not enough, you also admit that you like pissing people off. As I said earlier, this isn't the place for it. That kind of attitude is what makes you so pathetic. If all you want to do is annoy people, why do it here? There are far more suitable places.

That's not what these boards are for.

Quoting the registration policy, which you agreed to:


"You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this BB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by this BB."

That just about covers all the bases, including your advocacy of piracy.

Yes, you do contribute some interesting posts. Yes, some people do like you. But you continue to violate these rules. Banning your nicks isn't a big deal, don't let this turn into a big deal.

This thread is closed, as will any other thread opened that relates to this matter. It has been discussed enough. Period.
