wooden pony punishment? whoa!!

i don't know what i find more objectionable, the recent torrent of spam or pompousness

"There is a lot of intimate banter, as well as other offensive behaviour, between the resident few" -- yep, ain't it great?

I am missing pompousness somewhere? I HATE when that happens.

Don't get me wrong, I can see why that optional part of MW2 could be considered tasteful (because it is), but who really gives a rats patoot?!

You have the option to quit out of that level at any point and move on. It also opens the level with what kind of level of stuff you should expect. Heck, "if you think you will be offended" then you can skip it all together; it asks you enough time!

So anyone who choses to continue themselves simply cannot argue that they shouldn't have done it!

I played it right through, and I think it was a very brave and effective part of the story to take the player down (and I'll admit, after the initial shock and guilt, it's just another level. It's actually rather fun!)



Shut up MPs, until you've played it yourself, just go to hell.

Hey Geo, is that spam or was it meant for another board? *LOL* I can't figure out who yanked your chain.

At what point does the "if you don't like it don't watch it" argument come up hollow?

I don't know, Poots...but I find it useful and use it all the time when my wife and friends complain about me and my pornos.

OMG - someone with real flesh and blood actually wrote something in the Corral today - it was getting a little dull deleting one spam after another? Perhaps I've led a sheltered life but I'm not even sure what half these guys are selling

And you think they are? They are just on one of those work from home scams. Use your computer to make money while you....er....do whatever the heck you do.

It must be a sad life if there really were poor sods doing that all day. It's just a shame there isn't a utility to just automatically delete posts and ban users if their first few posts contains an external link. It could also add their ip to a list of banned ips. Perhaps also doing the same if the post contains the word Viagra etc. I blame all this on Paul's post yesterday.
