What Are You Doing Right Now? (171 Viewers)

Reading a bunch of two-page Letter of Intent proposals for ranking and review because I was asked to evaluate entrepreneurial proposals submitted to the US-India Science & Technology Endowment Board -- and, like the moron that I am, I said "sure"...

Anybody with a half-cocked proposal in the US or India and enough cash to bribe a volunteer like myself is highly encouraged to submit for a $250k-$300k grant.

I'll ask a few friends.

Just had lunch, and enquired with a nearby gym for membership. Time for a shower and off to work.

Hello people.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Morning, and hello Sheik.

I have to read Finance but that won't take long. Pretty lazy day for me, later tonight I'm going out.

I do think it was too much from their side, but IMO you too are exaggerating in this case. You were here for a while and I thought you realized that jokes are flying around whole day at this place. They don't want any harm but it's just how it goes. You should learn to ignore and dodge those, as it will stop sooner or later. Running away from such won't solve much.
Don't be so emotional.

i asked Alen to change his avatar and he denied it and i can have a lot of jokes (cos they made a lot)but when i ask someone to remove an avatar and he denied it. While he knows i don't like that and that is going to far whit such an avatar. i became mad i wasn't mad yesterday i am mad now. and i ask Kate to remove the picture and she did it and Alen don't. you all can make joke about me all day but when i ask someone to stop seriously i want them to stop if they don't do that i became mad.

I know what you mean, but at least I wouldn't blame him. He lost a bet, now he's not in a position to pick avatars. He got that one and he can't reject.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Dooz, ban them!

Alen broke the rule of using an avatar that offends someone.

that is why i blame Snoop also

My advice to you would be to ignore such things because it's silly to avoid forums cause of that.

It's your call, though.

Juventuz: Where you can break a rule, offend people, and ask the member getting offended to get a sense of humour!

 

[Trezegol17]

Nahh , you cross the line when you get stuff from the personal life innit, Her BF has nothing to do with this. the avatar was way to much, it's always her who gets picked. like i said yesterday enough is enough.

It's like an informal rule. I can say "Hey, I hate your avatar and you have to change it because I'm offended". Then what?

The line was crossed, but that doesn't have to mean an infraction should be given.

Stop being a holy savior Sheik, it doesn't work that way and it's easy to claim such.

 

[Bezzy]

and where is that cow of an Alen or Snoop now
they always have a big mouth against everyone but chicken out themself cos they known they are going to far.

They don't have to be banned but i just want to let them no they were going to far and i think most here do agree with me

Be sure they aren't hiding. They will come sooner or later, they probably don't have time to be around 24/7.

If you say that, and are serious about it, then yes, I will change it. If it offends you, then I'll be kind enough to change it.

You don't need to be a holy saviour to see that a rule is being broken and you ask that the offender is not let go without any punishment. If not an infraction, the least you could do is to remove his av and ask Snoop and Alen to fuckin' grow up!

Asking is one thing, infraction for such is totally other.

That rule alone is too hard to deal with, like it or not, because everyone can claim such and say it's offending content. People would be offended to see politicians, flags, players in 'tars and ask to be removed. From Barcelona to Erdogan.

True, and I agree. But this is not about flags or players. It's about her boyfriend being made fun of for all to see. Surely you see a difference here, Dooz! When it's something so personal, you simply can't ask her to ignore it. A member is being offended and she's quite clear about it. Show some authority and take off that avatar.
