Hey gang, Saxi here!

Recently there's been some hard feelings all around and I thought we might dedicate a thread to shaking all the sillies out and getting past that. NOTE - IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THE CONTENT OF THIS THREAD, OR FIND IT OF NO INTEREST TO YOU, PLEASE EMPOWER YOURSELF BY CHOOSING NOT TO PARTICIPATE RATHER THAN PARTICIPATING BUT LOUDLY PROCLAIMING YOUR DISINTEREST EVERY FEW MOMENTS. NAME CALLING, ACCUSING, FLAMING, TROLLING AND HATEMONGERING WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN THIS THREAD. PLEASE FOLLOW THE RAINBOW RULE. THANKS.

Last week I taught a workshop at a company here in the southland called "Creating a Culture of Tolerance and Diversity." I really would like to create a culture of tolerance and diversity here on CC and invite everyone to take the T&D pledge.

If you'd like to participate, please simply respond by waving your hand in the air and posting "I DO!" in this thread.

Let's make it happen, gang!

THE PLEDGE

1. I pledge to treat and respect others with empathy and in consideration of the experiences - shared and unique - that shape our lives.


2. I pledge to reject nationalism, jingoism, paternalism, xenophobia and chauvinism in how I interact with others and how it shapes my perception of my fellow CC players.

3. I pledge to use non-violent and non-incendiary means of persuasion to counsel those who exhibit the traits I am rejecting by taking this pledge.


4. I pledge to embrace compassion and reason, using temper and moderation, in all my dealings with my fellow CC players. In short, I pledge to obey the Rainbow Rule.

I will do my best to live up to the rainbow pledge, and hopefully fine the pot of golden friends and relationships on the other side.

Though I may fail at times I will do my best to live up to the ideas of rainbowism, and its inherent beauty of human communication and interaction.

I DO.

You realize that the main point of concern for the so called "bad eggs" is a lack of the moderating team's willingness to partake in the rainbow rule? DM was perfectly reasonable, and was level-headed when bringing up his issues with team CC. The fact that they weren't able to accept their failures led to his banning because of "skirting the rules" as I believe AndyDufrense so kindly put it in the PM sent to DM regarding his permanent ban.

He may well have been. Or not. But how do you know that was the case? Was he cc'ing you with all of his notes to them?

Argument considered and rejected.

If you're not here to take the Tolerance & Diversity Pledge, perhaps you should start a thread to discuss the topics you would like to discuss? This thread is about the Rainbow Rule. Thanks.

Dont be silly. No one would make up something so beautiful as a joke. Anyone with the capacity would be void of the ability to do so ironically.

Join us jimmy, youd be the perfect rainbow poster.....I can see the colors flying out of your posts already.

ahhhhh the rainbows in my mind spring forth like words i never dared to say! Emotions locked away and sought out forever.. as reminder of my fragile strengths!

...
I see you in the darkness
I see you in the light
I see your eyes shining
In through the night

Make me feel, make me feel
Like I belong
Don't leave me, you won't leave me here
All Alone

Cast your eyes
Like summer skies
Blue earth and the ocean
Clearer than the skies, yeah!

Sunshine on a rainy day (sunshine)
Makes my soul, makes my soul drip, drip, drip away
Sunshine on a rainy day (sunshine)
Makes my soul, makes my soul drip, drip, drip away

This thread is way of colour. The starter of this thread slags people off, then accuses them of chat abuse when they reply in kind, he/she/it is a tolerant as a neo nazi in a holocost museum. What a hypocrite! Play the game, and stop proving that you can cut and paste from the dictionary. I think he/she/it deliberately left out condescension, as that is he/she/its most frequent type of chat abuse/chat usage.

I feel dirty for feeding the troll hag. Can we all pledge to "Drop dead Sax, you two faced tool" Please cut and paste quote, and add it to thread. It/she/he should join a hippy commune, or a governmental useless policy group. He/she/it is not on the site to play the game, just to be a troll of the lowest possible intelligience.

Ooh, this looks like a fun game. I'm going to try now. Here goes.

Only a fucking moron would report a post in this thread for being a flame.
