"I miss Tango" Topic

& several other forms of Latin American dancing:

I was just thinking the same thing.

I prefer the Waltz, Matilda. Bring on the Tango, too.

Seriously,though,eight days does seem excessive.

I agree 8 days is quite draconian ! Especially with all the other "skullduggery" that goes on some boards like the UM. Discussions turns in an exercise in rudeness, etc., etc. …

Of possible interest?

I usually don't comment on these sorts of things but yeah, the term seems excessive. I don't think that the comment was that out of bounds, I mean he didn't direct it at anyone in particular. Is there Parole?

The Tango, the forbidden dance!

Oh, wait, that was the Lambada.

How will I know what is happening in blog world?

Hey! I was hoping for an informed discussion on traditional & possibly contemporary Argentinian dance styles! Certainly not another of the interminable "free so & so" threads!!

No thread hijacking (unless the 'Dawghouse' is B-boy or hip-hop).

Holy John Sinclair! Eight days for that??? Bill, ya gotta set him free!

FREE TANGO!

See: dance! Not free some Dawghouse miscreant.

I like Zydeco dancing. Ballroom too, fox trot, waltz, lindy, rhumba and salsa.

You learn the basic step and a couple turns, people think you're a dance instructor. And you get to dance with the pretty women at weddings and such. Better make sure to dance with others too to avoid flak from your SO.

And for wargaming content: has anyone ever gamed the knife fight from 'West Side Story'?

Tango…?

Now there's a blast from the past. Thank you, "Ignore".

Disproportionate; I think less has been handed out for calling someone a bigot. It's hardly an incendiary offence either; there must be some highly sensitive minds around if that offended you. Fix a tariff for heavens sake or it'll be like Reeves and Mortimer

FREE TANGO!

Punishment doesn't fit the transgression. Besides, seems silly to be punished for a failure of the bleep o matic.

Free Tango

But those dances seem dangerous.

We need a safer dance.

I say go in on the deck with a Pucara and rocket. bomb and strafe the walls and goon towers of the DH. Just this one time…when Bill isn't looking….if we're good, I mean REALLY sharp, we could take that baby down and..hee, hee1 It's a sight to see! A Big Bird flying so low the props are chopping chickens in the barnyard!!! YEEE-HAAA!!! CAN HE MAKE IT!!!!!……oh, sorry, I'll be over there…:)

I don't know why he is gone but at least there will be less white noise on the forum for a while.

Punishment doesn't fit the so called 'crime'

It could be so harsh since he does not seem to read this site, only posts here (some are very good posts as well). In this case it appears he did not even read his own post.

Please free Tango, he comes from a State in South America with enough repression for two lifetimes!

. Besides, seems silly to be punished for a failure of the bleep o matic.

It was not a failure of the bleep-o-matic. The crime was "avoiding the filter". The word in question is not even in the filter.

I think Tango fully deserves to be incarcerated for his needless scatalogical reference.I imagine our fellow TMP member Oh feels the same.

Disproportionate; I think less has been handed out for calling someone a bigot.

It's a simple system – same punishment for breaking any forum rule, generally. Tango broke 2 rules, going into a weekend: 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 days in the slammer

It was not a failure of the bleep-o-matic. The crime was "avoiding the filter". The word in question is not even in the filter.

The word is in the filter, but in Tango's post, the word was spelled with a 1 instead of an i.

The unbleeped version appears several times in Why Putin Made A Hasty Retreat From Syria.

So lemme see if I got this right…I send in 8 boxtops
from my favorite chocolate milk mix and I get a FREE
Tango !

Wow – so much free stuff on TMP lately !

Sorry Bill but the word is NOT in the filter. You took it out, remember?

But it is hard to argue against his punishment since he knows the rules and knows the word is not in the filter.

This has been the worst terpsichorean thread on TMP EVER.

Who's Tango?

Treating people like children by making them sit in the naughty step. How childish, what did Tango do anyway? His huge input to this forum should have cut him dime slack.

Other orange fizzy drinks are available. Fanta anyone?

"I think Tango fully deserves to be incarcerated for his needless scatalogical reference.I imagine our fellow TMP member Oh Bleeped text feels the same."

My TMP name is a homage to the North East of England and its people. Its a phrase that looms large in their lexicon and for them and me is entirely devoid of any sexual conotation. I spent my youth there and remain deeply fond of the Geordies and the North East that is why I chose it.

I fear you were barking up the wqrong tree.

But can Tango01 Tango?

I asked him once and he said no.

Tashe's better than Fanta

Vimto.

Agreed it is good to have a break from Tango's clutter, but the punishment is excessive. Some of us here on this site are military veterans, so we have heard and said much worse things in our lives. I am surprised I have not been dawghoused with some of the things I have said, so maybe I am lucky in that area. Reluctantly, I also add my voice to the chorus of "Free Tango!" If he sees these posts, I am sure he will say (paraphrasing), "Glad you like me, my friend (smile)!"…

GIVE US TANGO !!!!!!

Treating people like children by making them sit in the naughty step. How childish, what did Tango do anyway?

We play with toy soldiers. Pretty sure Bill is a babysitter.

Yeah… I miss Tango.

Oh Bleeped One, I started school in Newcastle so there's nothing you can tell me about the North East. You miss the point of my post: Tango has been punished because a word he used is banned as being offensive, whilst your nom de guerre is at the very least vulgar slang, and equally offensive to some – which is why it was automatically bleeped in my post! Whether you consider it not to have sexual connotations is irrelevant. Sod it is a common phrase where I live.

"and equally offensive to some"

Are you offended? Really, you started school in the toon and you are offended?

You will be familiar with the phrase haddaway and so I need not complete it for you.

We play with toy soldiers. Pretty sure Bill is a babysitter.

You got that right !

AND … FREE TANGO !!!!!!

Oh Bleeped One. I didn't say I was offended I said some might be offended. The fact that your pen name is automatically bleeped is the point I made. I do find your final sentence offensive – but then I'm sure you are able to complete the phrase sod …

Now now boys….

Free Tango. I miss Armand
