Do we have to put up with the users on here( Juggs specifically) that do nothing but belittle people and throw around insults. I mean I get that some people think it is funny but it would really be nice to actually be able to go through a thread without him telling someone to eat a bag of weenies on every thread he posts in.
Also some of my clients have obscenity filters and it would also be pleasant to think I could open anything on here without triggering them now that he has figured out how to put in the html for bold with no bold text and get around them?
Seriously mods start enforcing the rules, or remember that you did not when I start to break them. This used to be a pretty nice place but it is really going downhill.

Hi Jess!
What you're unfortunately missing in all the belittling (specifically in the thread where I countered all your silly arguments about the Federal Gov't. f*cking over Camp Zoe) is that I'm often directly responding to something, and oftentimes to something you said. You just can't see the forest for the trees, my friend.

You weren't worry about your clients and their obscenity filters when you posted this:
As said by mothers all over the world .... "If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all"
Juggs...you usually dont have anything positive to add to most of these conversations. Youre basically the guy that has to be heard because he likes to hear his own voice. Just because you have an opinion doesnt mean its right or that others want to hear it. Maybe try toning it down a bit ...... I think the 5000 post mark should be a hint that you need to take up a new hobbie and get off the computer once in awhile....youre going to get a teachers a$$ from your computer chair.
Do you two need a room? I love you both, for different reasons.
Juggs, chill the potty mouth please. And Aids is not funny. I've had friends die.
Jess, you can instigate as well as Juggs can. You just have a bit more style. And don't get me started about that 3:OO lineup drop.
I will put you both in a room and make you watch reruns of Gilligan's Island if I have to.
No way is some dude in tie-dyes and Birkenstocks looking like psychedelic Hagrid is going to be described as having more style than me. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Instigation, screwing around on the board, mock threads etc.... are one thing. I was referring to his abject lack of civility. If someone disagrees with me for I am able to make a point without for instance telling them to eat a bag of weenies or to f*ck a dead goat. Juggs is unable to do so and honestly it gets old. I thought maybe this could be addressed here instead of me just screaming obscenities back at him.
I guess the point is it would be nice if people could act like they were raised by a mother around here not a pack of ill tempered foul mouthed anteaters. At the end of the day I be argumentative, but I at least show some respect for this board and the other posters on it, and he shows absolutely none.
Edit
Notice how I was able to make an entire point without calling him a single name whereas in the post above he has already resorted to petty insults again.
I would like to be the first to suggest Bonnaroo Steel Cage Match 2012.
Dr Teeth, aka Wolfman Jess vs No Depression and whatever Jugg's handle is this month.
I would also like to open up the bidding by putting $40 on Jess, whatever the odds may be.
On a serious note, I would like to say that I agree with Jess, not so much about the language, but about the insults. I recieved verbal reprimand from Roofan for jokingly claiming that I was having semi-regular coitus with No Depression's sister, and by that standard, plenty of Juggs' posts are out of line.
BTW, Before coming to inforoo, I saw a picture on msnbc.com of a Occupy Nashville protester with semi-long hair and a red sweater being dragged away from the state capital by police. The person's face was not visible, and no name was mentioned in the article, but the individual's hair looked similar to jess's... it made me wonder. Then I came here and saw this thread, and thought that that may have been the topic.

I love you as well, but lets be fair a joke about a 3am announcement is not the same thing as cyber bullying someone for a year by calling them a rapist if they ever use a feminine pronoun. Not the same ballpark and not even the same quacking game in my opinion.
Edit
Jhammet I went down this afternoon before the kids were out of school I am planning on getting arrested tomorrow night after their mom has them.
Eh, the night magistrate is just letting people go after 2 hours and then starts yelling at the THP for trying to put a curfew on the Plaza. If I do get arrested I don't think it will be that bad.
If you don't take it seriously why do you care if other people do?
What does that even mean? First of all I was just agreeing with CPK because I think that the interaction between you and Juggs is kinda like that kid in 4th grade who gets extra offended by a "your mom" joke and his reaction is just too hilarious to stop even though he is getting soooo angry. If you stop taking every insult he throws at you so seriously then he won't get as much enjoyment out of it. Or don't. It is extremely entertaining.
Either way, I don't think it was entirely necessary to make a new thread calling out one specific member of this board. What's your end-game here? Banning Juggs? Stricter rules just so YOU can get around your work internet filters, which are there because your employer/client/whatever doesn't want you wasting time on the internet? Secession into the Confederate States of Inforoo?

You shouldn't take it so seriously I guess. All I am doing is asking the mods to enforce a little basic civility here dude. There is only one person on this board who repeatedly bullies, and screams obscenities at others that is why it is a single person call out. If anyone else starts regularly telling random posters to eat a bag of weenies to make a point, or starts throwing rapist around at people I will amend the first post to add them.

I think I made it pretty obvious in another thread that I don't care for the way Juggs interacts with some people on this board. After my comments I received several messages from people saying that they agree and wish they had the courage to make their opinions known.
I honestly don't understand the moderating on here sometimes. I know it's not an easy job by any means, but it seems like some people (like Juggs) are above the rules. It seems to me like the mods are just as intimidated by him as most people on here and thus do not want to make a stand against his really crappy way of treating people. I hope I'm not out of line saying this... I know several of the mods personally and they are great people. I wouldn't have the guts to do what they do, but I do hope they are listening and working on a solution for this issue.
I understand that Juggs is intelligent and adds a lot to the board with his viewpoints, but does that mean we just have to tolerate his childish bullying? At this point I don't think he adds much to the board because most of the time I skip right over his replies, not wanting to read the hate that he's spewing.
I'm wondering if the people who are always brown-nosing him and defending him are just doing so so that he doesn't turn on them like he does other people.

This is correct. If you have enough posts, you are above the rules.
And I've only ever called two people on here a rapist - one was Pondo, and that was done in jest and he and I have since reconciled. The other was that creepy dude with his creepy bus, and I wasn't alone in thinking that he seemed really rapey. I regret nothing.

Do what I plan on doing in the upcoming months when everyone starts coming to this board saying that know that they know the headliners for 2012... hit the ignore button.
All I have left to say is that some of you guys get way too offended by a person that you've never even met being mean to you.
I could understand being offended if he knew you guys personally and was being extremely insensitive about actual flaws you have and/or personal events that have happened in your life, but if you're not secretly a rapist then I really dont get why you'd get so offended by someone you don't even know calling you a rapist in front of a bunch of other people that you don't know.

The guy I called a rapist was, in all likelihood, actually a rapist.
