I'm tired of people telling me to shut up for telling people to shut up!!
Can we get back to normal? Can we get back to the time when a poster could tell someone to "shut up" without then being told to "shut up" in return!

I don't see anything wrong with telling people to stop saying something and I resent being told not to say that! What is WRONG with everyone of DU these days!?

11. Better yet. Come along with me.
I took off a while ago because it had gotten thick in here. I see it hasn't thinned. Well it has, with wrongly banned DUers, but as for commentary...nope! :hi: See ya!

12. I say we just have a big wrasslin' match.
Us against them and the losers just shut the fuck up, or shut the fuck up about their shutting up the shut the fuck ups, or something like that.

And then we all go to Olive Garden and get drunk, except for me, I'm driving the bus.

:P

15. I would be happy to drive, but...
I will be helping my wife with our Solar Breast Pump so we can express milk in the bus and not in the restaurant where we might be offending others.

21. Express milk? What was wrong with old-fashion regular milk?
Why is everybody in such a hurry these days? Roses: smell, etc.

13. Shouldn't moderators be the only ones who can tell us to shut up at any given point?
It is reasonable to say that moderators and only them, have the authority to tell others to stop saying things if these things are in violation with the behavior accepted in this venue.

Just my thought.

24. HUH?
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT EVEN IF ONE DOESN'T AGREE WITH THAT PERSON. THE ONLY TIME I THINK YOU SHOULD BE TOLD TO SHUT UP IS WHEN THREATENING SOMEONE HARM.

25. LOL! Your statement makes no sense.
You state, 'Can we get back to the time when a poster could tell someone to shut up without then being told to 'shut up' in return!'

So, It's okay for you to tell someone to shut up. But if that person then responds telling you to shut up,
they are wrong or rude?

I suppose now I'll be told to shut up.
