if you think girls shaking bare booty cheeks getting flossed by a g-string = formal, then I wish i went to your high school proms!

But I would have to disagree, there is nothing “formal” about Anthony Roberson. Ciroc though is a formal touch, imo.

The comment you responded to was hidden and as a result, your comment also was hidden since it was a response. My assumption is that it has nothing to do with your comment at all. I wish bloggers had the same access to toys and things. haha.

to talk about cocaine on a “family” website but when someone posts a bogus article trying to get people to get mad a one of our players the response “And????” gets deleted.

need to be clarified. You bring a good point about this being a “family-site” which we try to push to make this less of a flame-war space.

But, the comments about cocaine were not a celebration of it. We are not condoning that behavior. Illboots was making a comment about how he thought the party was “formal” and not a celebration of vices. The following comments about cocaine, again, were not a celebration. Merely mentioning cocaine is not an issue as much as the context by which it is being uttered that is an issue.

Merely responding “And????”, however, is not a bad thing as much as it doesnt “Say anything” for a lack of a better phrase (refer to our FAQ about posting). Clearly you have an opinion about what was posted and we just want any criticism or comments about what was posted to be articulated more. As you have seen in other threads, different people pride themselves and their discussions on how much they get out of them.

This isn’t to say joking about cocaine on a boat is something more valuable for a discussion then “And???” But anyway, your point is taken.

I can understand if the ‘moderating’ may seem uneven. From what I know, it is sometimes done by committee but we try to be as consistent as possible. It’s always a work in progress, but for the most part we of GSOM are in agreement about what should be hidden or not.

No need to apologize for the “And???” comment. I think it was clear from your other comment that you felt that I was criticizing Udoh and that is fair. Again, we’re not trying to censor but just change the discourse when it comes to online chatting. And of course, comments about cocaine should be reviewed in the same manner as comments that just say “And???” Apologies for any confusion but I hope this helps or helps us as a site?

Dig the De La Soul reference by the way. One of my favorite groups and albums of all-time (“Stakes is High”).

But I suppose seeing that might deter you from doing engaging in those activities. Did it?

I was doing youth mentoring and an older man (San Quinn’s brother to be exact) came in to talk to the youth about the youth violence and getting sent to detention centers/juvenile detention/jail. He was extremely graphic about the type of homosexual activities that could happen, which for middle-school youth, you could imagine, was frightening. I don’t think that was the best way he could have approached jail (using homophobia as to scare teens) given how he makes homosexuality as “scary.” but at the same time I could see how that would actually relate to adolescent kids who spit the word “gay” and “homo” without knowing well what that means as a identity. I suppose shock value is what they got for but you would think teaching methods nowadays wouldn’t use fear.
