"The admins on FPN are average dip****s. There's not much good you
can say about them: You can't polish a turd. Welcome to the usenet and invite your friends. The FPN admins will never come out of the woodwork and into this forum." Probably not. Regards, Ruaidhrí |

Deidre, don't try to take up for those dip****s. You know damn well they censor certain political and religious thought in chatter. Speaking as someone who wasn't censored for admittedly odd religious beliefs, I think it was the form of expression rather than the thought itself. And next time you're on FPN, invite your asshole friends to come discuss it on the usenet. I didn't invite anyone. Why would I when you're here? -- _Deirdre web: http://deirdre.net blog: http://dsmoen.livejournal.com/ "Memes are a hoax! Pass it on!" |

In article .com, (macaddicted) wrote: I suppose I just need to get this out. I just received what I consider to be a very distressing notice from a pen site (usually goes by a three letter acronym). There is currently a discussion regarding the nature of their board, and one of my posts was redacted for what I consider to be questionable reasons. Usenet 1, Web 0 Let's move it back here! Yes, that would be great. On a side note I've found a non-pen forum that has only 2 rules. No religion or politics...over the years only a few posts have been deleted. People can argue and say what they want...it's usenet with pictures. matthew ohio |

If you want to write about your kooky religious beliefs, here would probably be a better place for that than FPN. At least here you won't be moderated or censored. And next time you're on FPN, invite your asshole friends to come discuss it on the usenet. I didn't invite anyone. Why would I when you're here? Deidre, insulting people is not nice. You should know that. I'm not going to put a blowtorch up under your ass for two reasons, one, because you're a woman and it wouldn't be gentlemanly, and second, because you have made many positive contributions to this forum and wasted very little bandwidth. In return, I think it would be nice of you to invite some assholes from FPN to this forum. |

A lot of those dip****s on FPN go in for traditional crap, which is why a lot of them use fountain pens. A lot of the guys on FPN actually use straight razors and shaving soap and brush--there was a thread on chatter about it awhile back. A lot of these same people whine about saturated inks made by Nathan and PR, whining about the stain, and they prefer some old ugly ass blue-black that goes along iwth their antique pens. And they whine about nib creep. "Boo-hoo, Nathan's ink creeps my nib." And these are the same ones who whine to high heaven when somebody posts a nontraditional religious concept on FPN, or when somebody suggests that George Bush be tried for treason. Goddamn, if fountain pens got relegated to the same status as using straight razors--that's what people like Nathan Tardif and others are trying to move fountain pens away from. Overall, FPN probably does a disservice to fountain pens and are working hard to hasten the extinction of fountain pens. Let's face it: if we couldn't get Nathan's ink or PR's ink or the new Diamine inks, we'd be left with the old ugly colors they used back in the days people used straight razors, which is exactly what a lot of people on FPN use and advocate. |

And they whine about nib creep. "Boo-hoo, Nathan's ink creeps my nib." As I've said on FPN, I'm a bit forgetful, so I kinda like the nib creep. It reminds me what ink's in what pen. Goddamn, if fountain pens got relegated to the same status as using straight razors--that's what people like Nathan Tardif and others are trying to move fountain pens away from. I personally wonder a lot about people who think they're really using fountain pens when the best pen they've got is a Lamy Safari. And they want a Lamy forum. I admit: I don't like Lamy pens. It's the Lamy users that drive me bats, though. http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...howtopic=63261 Let's face it: if we couldn't get Nathan's ink or PR's ink or the new Diamine inks, we'd be left with the old ugly colors they used back in the days people used straight razors, which is exactly what a lot of people on FPN use and advocate. That's okay, they don't like colorful pens, either. (More for me!) -- _Deirdre web: http://deirdre.net blog: http://dsmoen.livejournal.com/ "Memes are a hoax! Pass it on!" |
