| _____________________________ [Nov 15,2008 3:36pm - pam ""] We're super-tolerant and smart? I call bullshit. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2008 3:37pm - RichHorror ""] Uh, people can scream NIGGER and RAPE in here and worse without getting banned. No shit it's tolerant. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 15,2008 3:39pm - pam ""] I don't think that's the kind of tolerance they're talking about. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2008 3:39pm - RichHorror ""] Yes, it is. It's a ranking of message boards. No tolerance would be people getting permabanned left and right. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 15,2008 3:42pm - pam ""] Gotcha. I was thinking tolerance by posters, not the admin. "lots of metalcore musicians" BURN |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2008 3:43pm - RichHorror ""] Yeah this board is fucking queer. Also LOL @ Zero Tolerance being semi-tolerant. |
