""Law Abiding" members vs the Dawghouse" Topic

The Dawghouse is regularly occupied by some neer-do-well miscreant who has violated one of the sacred rules of forum etiquette.

The poll:
Should the editor allow the "Law Abiding" members of TMP to visit the Dawghouse and leave comments and or taunt/poke at the inmates, anonymously and without fear of being dawghoused themselves, in order to shame the scofflaws into behaving like civilized people when they are free?

1. Yes, The Dawghouse should be like a medieval dungeon.
B. No, The inmates are just misunderstood urchins.
4. Maybe. (See #9 below)
5. There is no #5.
Q. All of the above.
X. None of the above.
9. I don't know, don't ask me, I'm an idiot.
Z. Pie

The flaw is this reasoning is assuming any of the regular TMP members to be Law Abiding. ;)

-Will

Before I give you the actual right answer to this conundrum (which BTW just happens to be my own personal opinion too.)

I would like to recommend that for very obvious reasons answer B should immediately be switched to answer 9.

And then of course 1 switched with Z.

X with 5.

Leaving 4 to remain where it is at Q.

In future Tin Dictator before you post an important questionnaire thread like this could you PLEASE make sure that they are in the proper order and sequence.

Many apologies for calling you an idiot.

Shouldn't they have a scarlet emoticon?

When I was a regular, the only meals we ever got was from the food that the jeerers pelted us with.

I like pie.

I would rather take away from membership length and thus eventually remove them as functioning forum members.
So, part of their sentencing would be time in Dawghouse and part would be time removed from membership. Think of it as a speeding ticket for your fingers.

See!, and everyone was happy.
As it should be.

ð. The only way to properly ensure a reduction and the recidivism of those who take it upon themselves to flout the community standards to which we agree through consent to participate in this collaborative activity is to throroughly catalogue the errors committed and provide constructive criticism in parallel with direct corrective and preventative action of a temporary manner long enough to make an impact but not so long as to have deleterious effects and avoid condescension toward those unfortunates who are unable to restrain themselves from the violation fo the social behavioural standards as they are defined and enumerated in the collective agreement and enacted through positive measures by the custodians of the content and managers of the infrastructure for this activity oriented community and to also avoid pejorative terminology and any assocation or implication that the misbehaviour is a result of intrinsic qualities of those under reprimand and not simply an inappropriate situational lapse in judgement directly related to the ephemeral conditions of the specific context under which those actions were taken.

Why not just leave this to the Editors?

No text book answers please!

What did etotheipi say? I got as far as ð and fell asleep

Why not just leave this to the Editors?

Why should the editors be the only one's who can have fun?

What did he say? I got as far as ð and fell asleep

He picked "Z"

Seriously though. What this debate should be about is not whether the rights and freedom of TMP members are being compromised and threatened but whether there's going to be enough pie

What kind of pie?

It has to be a nice kind of pie.

Why should the editors be the only one's who can have fun?

REALLY…fun?!? …"Fun" at the expense of our dear fallen comrades? "Fun" at the expense of their own personal dignity when they have been brought low and abandoned by all who hold them dear? You would suggest exploiting their suffering condition for your own personal gratification?

You disgust me sir!

But… I'm in …it does sound kind of fun :D…
…can we bring pie also?

Examples of acceptable Pie and Non-Acceptable Pie

But absolutely NOT:

…can we bring pie also?

Just don't feed the inmates.

I found just the right pie for the Dawghouse menu.

They could be pressed into a chain gang and forced to paint everyone's unpainted miniatures.

Stargazey Pie – yums.

A lot of the guys on here sure like PIE.

I've spent 2 trips to the Dawghouse.

Don't regret either of the things that got me there.

I find this reply to be cogent and succinct, as well as eminently reasonable in its calm reassurance and amicable approach to interpersonal engagement in a virtual medium, not mention the rehabilitative nature of its essential message and underlying tone.

I must be going nuts. I understood what etotheipi said!

No pie for you then !

Its not a question of whether or not you regret going to the pokey.

Its a question of whether or not the rest of us can have fun at your expense while you're in there.

Perfectly logical and fair for everyone.

And here I though this was a scenario idea…

What did etotheipi say? I got as far as ð and fell asleep

… me, too.

What did etotheipi say again? I got as far as "…" and fell asleep

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hmmm seems etotheidi likes pie…a lot

And that is just the TITLE of his thesis!
