If you are easily offended, move on

[c.cloudwalker]

in-your-face language ?

Really? What is that?

I've gone back and watched it a few more times and I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. What are you talking about? What exactly did you in the 25 seconds it took you to suppress the video?

which got your thread reported by an offended member. Sorry....

Someone who is easily offended came into a thread with a warning for those who are easily offended, then proceeded to report the post for which they had already been forewarned? Go figure...

Why isn't there a common sense filter on this forum for new members?

 

[c.cloudwalker]

If the powers-that-be have nothing more to say, I wish they would restore my vid... before I really start insulting you, little people.

Come on. Let's move.

It was actually me who reported it. About 3 hours after I reported the video in this post. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/general-shop-talk/284727-looking-free-business-advice.html

Ironically, the one that contains just as foul language that was posted by a moderator is still there. The one posted by just a 'regular' forum member was deleted.

Interesting to see the double standard played out in real life.

this is a very ironic title given the author ...

The video is just goofy and funny, but hardly offensive.

I watched a bit of it and found no redeeming value to it whatsoever.

I can't help but ask... Do you never watch TV or Movies? I've seen the video cloudwalker had referenced, and there's no offensive language in the title. Since you're easily offended by foul language, why did you choose to click on it? You don't have that choice in television or movies, but you do here. Yet you chose to report the post anyway, even though you can exercise your right not to look at it.

To my knowledge, embedded videos do not have an "autoplay" feature, and you were forewarned by the title. If I posted a link to an offensive image, would you report it because you clicked on the link and viewed it? It's kind of like finding a cigarette on the ground outside of a 7-11, picking it up, smoking it... Then you decide you don't like it, so you call the police to have 7-11 reported for having free cigarettes for anyone to smoke and die of cancer from openly on the ground.

I just can't understand your logic. Please help me understand. Not trying to be rude, but I really can't wrap my head around your thought processes. Maybe it's the whole, "you're a god lovin' Christian thing" (which is totally fine, I don't judge), and I am a free speech lovin' Atheist... It just fails to compute in my head.

Thanks for not trying to be rude. Honestly, I appreciate it.

For one, I am not a Christian so we can throw that out of the equation.

In regards to the video, I did start to watch it. Watched about half of it before I closed it. Simply didn't care for the style. I am more of a Paul Wall, Michael Watt's, Chamilionaire kinda guy.

In any case, I reported this one to see what would happen. Three hours earlier, I reported a post by KMH for the exact same thing. Embedding a video with profanity in the title. Now, six hours later, the post by the moderator is still there and this one was deleted. I felt there was bias in the way KMH's posts are handled and this proved it.

I reported both posts and both were handled completely differently. Here was the other thread. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/general-shop-talk/284727-looking-free-business-advice.html

Actually, just went to that thread and KMH himself took it down. It only took 5 hours and a few private messages.

This thread, however was edited in a few minutes. I won't knock KMH any further. He did the right thing and reporting this particular thread to make a point was a jerk think to do. Irregardless, both were against the TOS that everybody agrees to so, it is what it is.

Regarding the video, it wasn't anything special to start with and I have no idea why there was a thread created about it in the first place. If we all just posted random youtube videos that we happened to enjoy, this forum wouldn't have much to do with photography.

From the end of the video:

"If this offended you, you're more sensitive than a little girl
taking things too seriously is the cause of pain for humanity
If we lightened up we'd have more peace in the global community"

Kind of appropriate sentiments to keep in mind around here I thought.

If the video was better, perhaps more people would make it to the end....

This section is called Off Topic Chat for a reason?

If my understanding of what "off topic" means is correct, nothing having to do with photography should be posted in this section. Am I right?

If all of us posted random videos we might as well have the admin's rename this youtube...
