anyway bon voyage then...

so so far we have

Liza, Marina, Moose, Pete, Source, demetrious and I who will be absent? Since nobody is setting a date i suggest a weekend where Liza will also be absent (I will be absent all next week).

So how about:

Saturday, 30th July 2005 @ 12:00am (GMT +2) through
Monday, 1st August 2005 @ 12:00am (GMT +2)

Sounds good?

Count me in too, and the times are ok with me!!

tessekurler abi!

Excellent. So 8 people will not be logging on the forum on those days at all, let alone posting.

Add me to the list please.

9 people so far!! I HOPE YOU ARE WATCHING THIS TOPIC ADMIN!!

dates r cool with me.

I've heard a rumour that Bro' has secret plans to join the revolucion, thus crippling the forum... but is demanding leadership of the revolt. See the pic below that my secret squirrel took...

Brother looks like Arafats son. The secret is out!!

Just a thought; if the boycotters will not be viewing the site for the weekend, how do you know your fellow conspirators will not renage and post pro-Admin material in the hope of becoming Moderators, while you are away?

Not that I want to sow seeds of doubt, you understand....

Why would you care?

huh? why would they care to become moderators? if they wanted to why didnt they ask to be from the start? and who cares if they do. this is about returning freedom of speech to the forum.

[erolz]

this is about returning freedom of speech to the forum.

Have you lost free speech or have you lost the ability to behave in anyway you want regardless of the impact on the forum and others?

Do you have free speech in the UK? Libel and slander laws, incitment to racial hatred laws etc etc. You have free speech but not without any responsibilites. The situation here is no different. If you stick to the rules then you have total fre speech. If you refuse to abide by the rules then you are not demanding free speech but the right to ignore the rules. At least thats how I see it.

[Saint Jimmy]

The situation here is no different.

Well, it's different in that in the real world there's no constant policing of everything that is said. More often than not, it is the offended party's call, whether to react to an offensive remark or not and how - not the police's. The offended party may resort to legal means (i.e., report the 'rule violation' to the 'Admin'), or ignore the whole thing, or respond in kind. Just like in real life.

But that's not the point.
This has really got me thinking...
You guys really have taken this thing too seriously. It's like, you're trying to break this 'boycott' thing up... um... why exactly? Because a bunch of us may think that you're not doing your job right, or that you shouldn't be doing it at all? And why would you care?

This is what I really don't get.
Why do you care?



Wait a minute...
Is this like the Zimbardo thing? The Stanford experiment?

Mr. Admin, are you playing with us?

[city]

erm, supposingly 9 people take part, but there are only 7 "oui" votes.
Not very convincing...

its for him/her to know and for you to find out I guess......

[Saint Jimmy]

Tell you the truth, city, I'd rather not (find out)! Or else they'll be making a movie about how we kicked each other's ass, 30 years from now...
