You're allowed to be offended, oh wise one, but you should be able to shrug it off. Some people are just stupid and you can't stop them from offending you in a totally inappropriate way, but you can't try to crack down on every possibly offensive comment because someone might start crying or get their feelings hurt. I don't want people to be totally ignorant to each other, but I don't want people to be warned for accidently annoying someone with an avatar or post. *sigh* if that is what you're worried about then just stop, the staff won't warn you for something that they themselves don't see as blatently offensive. I know this isn't a big problem, yet. But we saw it as rising and decided to nip it in the but. I don't know how you have taken it, but the staff has gently to implied that this isn't up for debate, so now I'm going to tell you straight up, this isn't here for a discussion, its now a rule, respect it.

In reality, you can't stop everyone from making hateful comments. You really shouldn't take 'em too seriously. However, hate is relative.

I want an example of the so called hate stuff. Ha. I'm hoping that is sarcasm and not hypocrisy. And there have been plenty of examples of hating on the forums in the past. Of course, there's the typical shipping wars, but there has also been a bit of dispute about religious avatars and such. Just yesterday there was a bit of a dirty repartee in the avatar request creations board about someone requesting a hate sig. Seriously people, not cool. Hate is such a waste of an emotion, unless you've got a legit reason to hate someone. So, if anyone on this forum has brutally murdered someone dear to you, just tell us and then you may bash them to your heart's content. Otherwise, shut up.

It's that troublesome minority that make things dumb for the rest of us. Now honestly, I'm fine with people hatin' it up. Sometimes it can be pretty funny. However, it seems that people here tend to take things a whole lot more seriously than they should.

I just have one thing to say... ITS A FINCTIONAL (I.E. NOT REAL) SHOW! So really if its a hate that has to do w/ the show in general like shipping, ep.debates, etc. then some people on here may need a reality check to the inth degree. *piff* Stop hatein' start debatin'! B/c that's what the grown-ups do. XD Silly willys. ^___^----<3
Disclamer - I respect all that the mods are saying and am in no way trying to sound anything but supportive on their decision. Just thought the decussion was getting a little too real and needed a mood lightening. ^_^; lols, I have issues...

I know...i never said lying though, more like...um...whats the word...not as strong words? I believe the word you're thinking of is euphemism. Now honestly, I'm fine with people hatin' it up. Sometimes it can be pretty funny. However, it seems that people here tend to take things a whole lot more seriously than they should. And those people need the reality check, but I agree with y'all's decision 99.1%, even if I'll complain most of the way.

Also this site needs to go over the COPPA Act since ppl must be 13 in order to sign up for something online. *cough* Sorry to butt in when I'm not as very active memeber here, but if kids gave a crap for the COPPA act then Airbender.net wouldn't exist, if that means anything to you. Thank you and have a nice day. ^^; PS: I apologize for the other day and for taking my problems onto your board. >>; Won't happen again.

Let me RECLARIFY. Again.
I meant that hate should not be directed at certain members/characters/shows... all that. I don't care if its a random "I hate you" icon. It's not DIRECTED at anyone.
Defend all you want the right of free speech. I'll be completely honest. Yes, people get offended. Yes, they tend to take things TOO harshly. However, I'd much rather keep everyone happy then deal with the complaints, so, if you have a problem with the rules, take your own advice and suck it up.

Actually, you have failed to keep everyone happy since several people including me here don't like this.
