Comments on: The Party’s Over http://xrlq.com/2004/07/17/the-partys-over/ Politische Kommentare mit Snarkenremarken Mon, 14 May 2012 18:16:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Xrlq http://xrlq.com/2004/07/17/the-partys-over/comment-page-1/#comment-4850 Xrlq Sun, 18 Jul 2004 18:39:29 +0000 http://xrlq.com/2004/07/17/1703/the-partys-over/#comment-4850 I don't plan on going on the attack anytime soon, but then again, you never know; I wasn't planning on the events that led up this this hate-fest, either. If it happens, oblique references to York will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Tentatively, I'm inclined to allow such references IFF they are essential to the attack on the target troll. If you can find a way to attack said target just as effectively without mentioning York, please do. This includes any uses of York's name as a verb, at least for now. If the word "yorking" ever catches on in the blogosphere the way "fisking" did, I'll revisit my policy at that time. For now, <a href="http://www.georgecarlin.com/georgecarlin/dirty/dirty3.html" rel="nofollow"><i>shit,</i> <i>piss,</i> <i>fuck,</i> <i>cunt,</i> <i>cocksucker,</i> <i>motherfucker</i> and <i>tits</i></a> are in, but <i>York</i> is out. Then again, even that word may acceptable in some contexts, <i>e.g.,</i> to criticize politics of the City of York, England; similarly, a reference to an unsavory aspect of New York politics or culture as "new yorking" would also be acceptable. So I guess it's one of those wobblers, like "prick." (It's okay if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don't ...).

Just a clarifying question. If you ever do post about <i>another</i> <b>lackluster loser</b> trolling about and being banned for <i>obtusely posting idiotic commentary</i>, can we reminisce about previous trolls we've lampooned, including Mark York? Or would that violate the York-free zoning? Also, can we refer to such commentary as "<a href="http://xrlq.com/archives/2004/07/15/1698/when-youre-in-a-hole/#comment-4816">yorking</a>", or is that <a href="http://www.skepticfiles.org/en001/monty03.htm">RIGHT OUT</a>? I will NOT comment about Mark York here.
