I Gotta Know!
« on: August 02, 2005, 06:57:37 PM »
Now, I ain't pickin'  & I ain't pokin' fun!  I just gotta know!  I saw a name on the list of folks readin' this forum & I saw the name MoeLester.  What on earth would possess a man to want to use that name??? :o

They signed up today and that is flat out WRONG!!!  This person needs to be given one chance to change their alias and if they don't comply they need to be banned for life.  IP address and all.  That's one sick s.o.b..

Huh???

Methinks you fellers are lettin' your own perceptions, presumably based on very modern misuse of the term, get in the way of common sense ...  Check any good dictionary - there is absolutely no "sexual" or otherwise "immoral" element or connotation in the definition or meaning of "molest" (or "molester").  For example, this is the entire defintion of "molest" in Webster's New World Dictionary - "to annoy, interfere with or meddle with so as to cause trouble or harm, or with intent to trouble or harm."

That's it! 

With all the "outlaw" and other ne'er-do-well personas and aliases in Cowboy Action Shooting, what's so "sick" or unacceptable????

Frightening isn't it. :P ;D

Rattlesnake, I'll stand by my assesment.  At the very least, it's in extremely poor taste.

Would it be any different if a woman used the name "Mole Esther"?

In my not so humble opinion no it wouldn't.  Poor taste is not gender specific.  How about Ray Per.  Maybe he was a miner that raped the land.  It's beyond imagination how anyone could defend an alias with such an evil conotation even if it is only by todays venacular and standards.

Yep!  I'm gonna have to agree with Shoshone Slim once again on this!  That's just not a name I would want associated with, alias or not! 8)

Yanno, could be they had something in mind to do with Lester Moore's epitaph.

"Here lies Lester Moore, four slugs from a .44, no less, no more."

Maybe since Lester More in No More they wanted to be Mo' Lester, or More Lester.

Just a thought but it sounds like something that I might do trying to be clever and come up with something that people take entirely out of context and in ways that I never thought about.

Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast today & one needs to be real careful in today's society! 8)

Perhaps there is no negativity at all in the name, but it sure is a bad idea... IMHO! ::)

I like giving people the benefit of doubt Book Miser and without ever having seen anything that the person posted or having met them there are people all ready to hang them.  As pointed out the name could be a perfectly innocent idea that other people just happened to see differently.


Besides if everybody agreed all the time the world would get awful boring and playing the devil's advocate can be soooo much fun.

Not too long after a certain person was permanently banned over on TRI we had registrations like this turn up.  There is no excuse.  I know that I'm sounding pretty harsh here and I don't really easily offend but this is just flat out and let me say it again....in very poor taste, not funny and shameful.

Moral relativism is interesting, is it not?

Each of us has some type of moral compass under which guidance we conduct ourselves from day to day. When people join in a community or society, they often share many of their moral "values." Those in the community who do not share a particularly strong value are often subjected to the others' judgement. Often, over time, these values are codified into laws, such as "Thou shalt not kill." Those that are not often evolve into the mores and folkways of a given community which can be just as strongly a part of the members' lives as those which are "legislated."

On a large scale, when one large group decides another group is "wrong" because the groups disagree about a point on their compasses, wars can be started.

On a smaller scale it becomes more personal. How often do we say someone is wrong, offensive, or shameful, not because that person has caused anyone harm or damage, but because they have triggered something on our own compass?

"You are wrong because you have offended my personal moral relativity!" And so, we project our beliefs onto others, without regard for theirs.

Humans are a funny bunch, ain't we?

:D
