Frank's posted up some info on where we stand on
acceptable/unacceptable blog comments. Some of them have proven to be not to liking of some of our visitors. Like I give a fuck. Some folks have decided we've been overreacting to certain comments recently and maybe we have, maybe we haven't. We've never stifled debate on it and I've never been one to walk away from a pointless argument-just-for-the-sake-of-an-argument. We could have ignored them all. We could have deleted them all. We didn't. We played them out. What became a problem was when people start throwing around insults and offensive remarks - none of which were particularly clever. Now if this were real world and in the middle of some heated debate, in my house, you just stood up and started abusing someone; you'd be out the door and counting your blessings that your head didn't bounce off a few walls on the way. I think alot of people would generally feel this way. BifSniff is our house and you'll behave accordingly when you're in it. If you don't like that, you can fuck off and you can call me a liberal fascist, bigot or whatever as you leave - I don't give a fuck. If you think you're impacting on my life to any great degree, you're deluding yourself. As you are if you think that you're able to make great insights into either of our personalities from the way we've responded to the comments. As you are if you think that anyone believes these are clever little tests that have been devised for us. Honestly, you might want to get yourself a more interesting hobby. For my part, this is the last bit of energy I'll spend on this.

Copper Comics.
To mark the beginning of the fifth year of
Creatures In My Head, Andrew Bell is giving away a
signed and numbered limited edition print, worth $300, to one of his
newsletter subscribers. As he says himself, it's probably a good time to sign up.

"..you can fuck off.. I don´t give a fuck." Article 2 stipulates that "Comments should not contain profanity. Please refrain from using strong language." If the creators do not follow their own rules it sets an extremely bad example. Also, aggressive threats of violence are deplorable. This website is quickly exposing itself as a haven for mean-spirited, hypocritical nonsense. I advocate that all reasonable visitors should declare total war upon these fools, with immediate effect.
So your answer to an obnoxious guest insulting someone in your home is to bounce their head off a wall a few times? Well if this Blog is your home I for one am outta here! AS much as I can´t stand rude people, violent people are far WORSE.x
Bif, you don´t sound like a nice person to be honest. I think you should make an apology for this latest blog.x
Plus I don´t think anyone reading this could believe "you don´t give a fuck" as you so eloquently put it. It´s really obvious that all this has really gootten under your skin.x
Grow up, be able to take a joke and stop threatening to bounce people´s head off walls!x

Actually Karina, my answer to an obnoxious guest insulting someone in my home is to kick them out. I consider they should be grateful that have some level of restraint when doing so because alot of people wouldn't.
I haven't threatened to bounce anyone's head off the wall. I have said I will delete comments that are offensive to other commentors and that people show some level of consideration for others.
Karina,
Was there something in Bif's previous postings which led you to believe he was anice person? If so I think *those* are the posts you should take issue with as they clearly misrepresented the truth of the situation.
Hope this helps,
Frank
ps I don't think Bif would bother expending the energy it would take to actually be violent to someone... though he might just imagine it to amuse himself.
