NoiseInsideMyHead Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I am pleased to report that there is nothing newsworthy in Grand Forks that would merit any discussion here whatsoever, let alone on the Community forum. Thank heavens the moderators are here to protect us from commentary, satire, dark humor, and anything else that might arise if, God forbid, there were anything going on in Grand Forks. If there had been a newsworthy event, this message would be followed by insightful and perhaps even witty discussion and the free flow of ideas. Since there is nothing going on, might as well lock this thread, too. Censorship sucks. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ok... remove "untimely". Just classless. Yet, the countless threads with serial, malicious, and personal attacks on UND administrators, nickname committee members, nickname advocates, etc., are just dripping with class, right? Please forgive me for thinking the prevailing community standards on this forum are a little difficult to peg. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, let there be discussion about what would possess someone to perform such an act, then what would possess a person to make light of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Discussion of what happened this morning at Walmart in Grand Forks is timely and worthy of a thread in this forum. Making light of the situation, when family members probably haven't been notified yet, much less have any idea of the circumstances, is untimely at best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneySIOUX Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 They're public figures open to public scrutiny. And they're not murdered. The comparison of those two things by NIMH is just incredible. Zero perspective. WHY ARE WE ARGUING ABOUT THIS??? Two people were shot and killed in a town we all revere. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Grand Forks. Sad, sad stuff.

darell1976 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 My thoughts and prayers go out to my hometown over this tragedy. The latest I heard is one person involved in the shooting was an airman at the GFAFB. Very said this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much some of the lowest classless POS thing to start a thred with, and then another thread to complain about it? If you cant see that this was below a community standards level, I believe the site really would and should be better off to remove you from it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndahl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I saw no attempt at discussion in the locked thread, or anything that could reasonably be considered commentary. You could always start another forum for yourself and any others who may disagree... John 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 So the Airman 1st Class (there was a picture linked to a story that showed his rank was Airman 1st Class, not sure what his actual rank at the time was.) decided to shot some people at 1 a.m.?
