qwksndmonster Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) The notion that making fun of creationism is infringing on others' beleifs is very unsettling to me. I realize that the complaint was in objection to bringing up religious beleifs on a hockey board, but I can't shake the connotation.

Weave Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 *sigh* it's not directly about religion. This place is a rare treat among the interwebs. It is a place of mostly thoughtful, respectful discussion. And given the size of the audience, and the diversity it must hold, this is unusual indeed. Openly mocking another's beliefs in random threads can only result in negative conversation. This isn't about religion. Would we tolerate mocking obese people in random threads? Ugly people? We don't do that. We shouldn't do this. It is about being respectful to the audience here. It's about basic decorum FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingEye Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 My first reaction to hearing the news was "nice, my fantasy hockey opponent for this week won't be getting any points out of McDavid then" so I'm probably a bad person.

sicknfla Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 This is what makes a player a champion, the willingness to do nearly anything to win it all. They play through injuries for that very reason. Wishing harm to your opponent is different than enjoying the following problems it causes the team. Carolina doesn't win the Cup if we still had our starters in at D. And you don't hear them complaining or regretting not beating Buffalo at full strength. And don't tell me that Boychuck's hit on Vanek in the 2010? Playoffs was anything but purposeful injuring. I hate the targeting of players, unless they have legit reason to be, but if it was not intentional I'm not going to cry about the other team being worse. You seem to make purposeful injury creation equivalent to merely taking advantage of another's bad luck. There is no place in sports for purposeful injury. I also feel, that as a fan, we should not get our jollies off because one of our opponents star players gets hurt. Injuries are part of the game. Sometimes they hurt you and sometimes they benefit you. Wishing for a guy to get hurt is a different story. Being HAPPY an 18 year old kid who is going to be nothing short of a superstar got hurt is pathetic. In all honesty some of the posts in here today were kind of embarrassing.

That Aud Smell Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 It was a joke on using the term "silly" resulting in bans D'oh! I find this offensive. If you peek in this thread, you stay in this thread. There's no un-peeking. Fair. My first reaction to hearing the news was "nice, my fantasy hockey opponent for this week won't be getting any points out of McDavid then" so I'm probably a bad person. Dat avatar, tho.

I suspect alot of what you've found embarrassing was meant just a little tongue-in-cheek. If grave injury came to McDavid, I'd bet PA would be among the first to celebrate what he was as a player, not celebrate his loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 This has no place in this thread. In fact, it really has no place in this community. Out of respect for the members here that do hold religious beliefs, would you please stop this sort of thing? Oh come on raptor jesus is a joke, not a bash of religion A stab at creationism. yes I agree with those guidelines. But parody and satire seem okay. Raptor Jesus appears to be something patently absurd, even silly. No? it's a joke, if we can wish for McJesus to die in a horrible on ice accident we can use raptor jesus.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Is it sad that while in Hawaii, I still searched for means to watch the game?

Businesses have been built taking advantages of others misfortune, same with nations, this board is for entertainment and a little gallows humour over a good possibly great player's misfortune is hardly a place to go all rigidly judgemental.
