Nobody is making him out to be the worst poster on this site and nobody said it was the worst thing ever. It was fucking stupid, but none of those two things.

Laughing at the death of someone and racist comments, although both bad, aren't on the same level.

Also, ETB requested like_that and myself be reinstated to the workout thread. Since you already didn't allow us to have our own thread(because you're comparable to a leader of Germany), you should probably let us back in since we contribute to those types of threads.

laughing at the death of an everyday person is a lot worse than a racist comment.

Only you would consider that an "outcry." You are comparing posters making racial jokes to somebody laughing about a death of two innocent people. Please just stop posting.

The topic of thread bans regarding the exercise thread is off-topic and will be unapproved.

I wouldn't necessarily agree that being insensitive towards the mortality of a couple of people by laughing at their death is more morally repugnant than harboring a genuine hatred and ill will towards a whole segment of the human population.

It's hard to put those two things on a continuum. I was just pointing out the discrepancy in how the two situations are responded to.

Anyways, I'm done arguing this particular point.

Well, you(being a tyrant) combined a new thread that like_that started with the old thread. Pretty fucking stupid. Seriously. Will you stop being an online prick?

Good because you're wrong.

Not to mention that thread was getting more discussion. Also deleted numerous nutrition threads I started, despite the fact it was a completely different thread than ETB's.

you can't just delete a bunch of posts because you can't defend yourself against the points. i sure hope you moved them and didn't just delete them.

Might as well just close this thread, because apparently you can't post anything without it getting deleted.

Does how they died matter? I mean if it's a dumb bitch walking on a plane wing when the plane crashes you gotta admit that's a little funny.

Oh wait....now we are starting to barrell roll this thread. It's going in circles.


I'll leave with this thought: PARENTS - don't let your children become wing walkers.

Hope this helps.

That crash was pretty brutal. When I was in dayton a few years ago, I almost went to the show where the other crash happened. I don't think I would ever want to go to an air show to be honest. Shit like this happens all the time.

Not funny at all. Not even a little bit. Would you laugh if it was your daughter?

Kind of like mod's deleting posts that go against their opinions.

I don't have a daughter and if I did hopefully she would not be dumb enough to become a wing walker.

He has been deleting mine as well. All I asked was why your post was deleted too. Is this really the type of mod that we want? Somebody who deletes others posts, because they disagree with him. The funny part is he is the one who started the discussion. So, now fly4fun can start debates, and when he has nothing else to say he just deletes everyone else's opinion. Got it.

They were innocent? Who forced them to be in the plane performing stunts and walking on the wing?

Please stop posting.

They put their lives on the line to entertain people, and you think it is hilarious that they died. NFL players put their bodies and lives on the line every game they play. So do wrestlers. Do you think it is funny when a player or wrestler gets paralyzed? Would you think it is funny if they died? Nobody forced them out there to compete and brutally put their bodies on the line.

Please stop posting. I wonder why fly4fun hasn't deleted your posts yet.

Any more attempts to bring up the topic of your thread bans regarding the other thread will result in a thread ban here. You can complain about that all you want in the basement.

Feel free to discuss the topic at hand.

She'd be dumb just because she was your daughter.

Huh? We have been discussing the topic at hand. Please don't let your trolling get in the way smh.

Anyway as stated earlier, Said's post was just sad and not even close to being comparable to a racist joke.

Who forces a car passenger to get in the car of a fatal car crash? Are they not innocent? I mean, they know that the possibilities of a crash happening is there before they even get in the car.

Yea. Car crashes and using a car as transportation from point A to point B is exactly the same as somebody walking on a winged flying plane performing stunts at an airshow.

Speaking of fucking retarded. How did you ever become a mod? duh.
