Y'all, we need to talk.
It's no secret that we can be a pretty snarky community; snarky tags, snarky comments, snarky snark, whatever - it's all in good fun and, for the most part, we mods let most everything go because the last thing we want is for b_s to turn into one of those overly pc safe-space communities -
BUT (we all knew there was a 'but' coming up, didn't we?)
Lately there seems to be a few people who are taking it a bit far and it's getting a bit old.
You want to disagree with a poster or commenter, fine, disagree, debate, whatever, but:
1) STOP WITH THE NAME-CALLING - IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, YOU'RE A GROWN UP, use your grown up words.
2) STOP STIRRING SHIT - if you really, really, really insist upon having a "no, you're not" "yes, I am" "no, you're not" "yes, I am" back and forth with another commenter, take it to the private messages and leave the rest of the community out of it. Or, you know, exercise some restraint.
Both public and private warnings have gone out, but none of the mods have the time or inclination to babysit the community full time and we really hate having to ban people.
And in case you need a little refresher, the community rules are located here.
As a sidenote, for the people who want to passive-aggressively whiiiiiiiine about how much this community suuuuuuuucks? This isn't Soviet Russia, no one is forcing you to be here.
KTHXBYE.
