Perhaps, if you could turn-on your girlfriend, you would have a more interesting ride Tongue


I don't use to involve here girlfriends, wives, parents, relatives, brothers or sisters of other users.
Seeing as the moderators are accustomed reading very carefully all my posts,
I recommend them to move aside slightly the flap of white mantles that are covering their eyes, and take a look here, too.

I have some question for you mods:
1) Is it allowed to involve here girlfriends, wives, parents, relatives, brothers or sisters of other users?
2) If it is, is allowed to all the users or is only allowed to your protected?

After your answer, I will act accordingly.

If I'm not misled it was you mentioning your girlfriend first in your comment to my post. Maybe should read again to refresh your memory.

So basically it was you involving her.

If I had not responded to the insults of mr. Slowfox, however his post would still be there...
This is what I call "one-way censorship."
You forgot to mention that your initial post basically consisted of an insult to begin with.
In the following discussion you had your fair share of insults, too. Additionally I asked you,
very politely, to stop the insulting purely personal posts.

I still think you are much better than that. Smile

Well, even in the German constitution which is generally pretty liberal there's a passage that the individual freedom is limited at a point where the rights of others are being violated.
And to make sports of others clearly is such a point.
So don't complain about censorship if you insult others.

Re: Off-Topic Discussion

Hi guys, before I leave for vacation I feel the need to say something about
the so called "Yoghurt Gate" and I want to point out that I'm not referring to anyone in particular, but
I'm speaking generally and I don't want to teach anything: before logging in to LSTV I entered as a guest
many times and I saw there were people who shared my feelings about ETV
and the girls, so I logged in and I found guys that with time became my friendsSmileSmileSmile
virtual, but friends; I think the aim of forums is to share opinions with others
with respect, not to start fights Thumb downThumb down
So I really don't understand why there are people who are only interested
in insulting others and make war with allAngryAngryAngry
Please, if one has a problem with another, he can send him a PM and they
can explain their reasons to each other without involving all
I like posts that are funny, sarcastic, but I hate rudeness: I see it almost
every day on TV, by politicians and by sport "experts":thumbdown:Thumb downThumb down
I wish ALL to have good vacations, relax and fun CoolCoolCool
Try to smile more, life is too short to live it with angerBig GrinBig GrinBig Grin

Don't put words into my mouth. People are perfectly allowed to enjoy ETV,

Thanks, that's all that needs to be clear Thumb up tastes are different, everybody should except this and respect this. If you don't you are free to leave.

Re: Off-Topic Discussion

Ah well chris, you lost it Confused we can't mention italy in anyway or form but you can mention anything on the net? and outside anything on LSTV? what a shame Cry

Giovanni, just because he was the prime example, gives me the idea of a very sad individual with a very twisted vision of life, and if you ask me he deserves pity and help more than scorn, but since I'm not part of the Salvation's Army I don't really care and it's none of my business. I simply give my opinion on something written by him that is published.

Big Grin nice try to make a dumbass war as you and others talk about LSTV on italy more than we do Blush

But of course you judge us through fairness or through Envy don't take the piss Smile

If you're claiming that only the complainers start arguments, I feel really sorry for you, I thought you were capable of fair judgment but I guess I was wrong.

Or it could be that you just can't accept criticism.

You want to congratulate ETV or a particular model for whatever reason? Send an e-mail, call, send a Team SMS, there are multiple ways. They even had the option to send messages directly to selected girls' mobile phones once. Nobody other than you (and ETV) will know and the result will be the same.

The same for those on the other side of the fence ...

Don't put words into my mouth. People are perfectly allowed to enjoy ETV, I do so too with certain shows and with certain models (less and less as time goes by but that's another point).
But, and I repeat this for like the 3rd time these days I believe, you cannot expect to put something in public and have people only react positively to it or not react at all.

To me, it seems that you're basically claiming what ETV have been claiming for months now, and the words are really starting to become very stale: "Don't watch if you don't like".
To this, I reply: "Don't broadcast FTA shows if you don't want criticism". Just broadcast private-only spectacles on the Web. Then we'll see how long they'll survive.

Except that evidently some people are above this and can insult, whereas some others can't. Smile
Both sides have insulted and gone too far at times, yet it's amazing how it's just the "complainers" who are either ousted, banned, freely insulted, ect. Mods here can act high and mighty all they want, but this is a fact.

A lot of words expressing feelings of unrightiousness, but still not an answer to the simplest of questions ...

Re: Off-Topic Discussion

[hidden link - please register] is mentioned often here, have a look, form your own opinion ...
What is it about that forum that makes some of its regular contributors feel the need to contribute here as well?
Surely, if someone wants to know their opinion on a matter, they will visit their forum.
And another thing ...
