Oddly enough you have the right to dislike it but at the end of the day its up to the management, and that is without doubt Mr. Nathan. Also you have the right to not use the website if you don't like where its going... Just saying. I'm not upset by anything. I feel like Nathan is being Tolerant. No big deal here.
So another post to set things straight. My character was again questioned In a thread. The offending thread was Nathans build thread. I was grouped along with someone else in being disruptive, well all you have to do is read the thread and see what happened. ChiliPA, or now a different name, came in out of nowhere and attacked a good friend of mine, with untruths, so I FIRST flagged the offending post and asked for the post to be removed, nothing was done about the offending post, so then and only then did I respond to the post. So then yesterday he came into the thread again with another offending post, so being that nothing was done earlier, I rebutted his untruthfulness again, and was subsqentually grouped into being dissruptive. Well guys, I will, when challenged with untruths and friends being dragged thru the mud, respond and question them. And im sure you would also. Sorry if it pissed some people off, but its easy to see who always starts the ball rolling.
I was writing a long reply, but then I deleted all of it as it would be pointless. What ever excuse you have for getting into internet forum arguments is just that, an excuse. And regardless of how good that excuse is, at the end of the day it is still just an excuse.
In debated on even replying here. Yeah, Chili-PA, who is now Dave.0 did start something, but ya know... It takes two to keep the BS going. I can't and will not be online every second of every day reading every post on the site. Ya'll are adults, yet a few of you can't seem to act that way. I thought I got rid of the biggest lightning rod after giving that person more than a few chances. I guess not as there is a contingent that still has to go after the dead to me and another contingent that feels that they must defend the dead to me. It's over, It's done Let this carp go.
Nathan, thats why I reported the post first, so you could end it. Im sorry but I will respond to carp like that, if its directed at me or my friends, sorry.
It isnt hard to see .. all you have to do is go back and see the first bullet fired!!. IF the result isnt addressed, then there is a rebuttal!! Then it goes to carp!! It is amazing to me that IF the moderators were true to their statements.. as soon as a questionable 'bullet' is Identified ( esp thru a REPORT), a PM would be sent to the shooter. Then maybe a quick statement IN the thread that PM was sent. These arguments are not a norm any more ( yeah!!) so when they do happen, it would take a few moments for a moderator to respond. DONE!! The shooter will know he is being watched!! The "target" will know his problem is acknowledged. And after a while the bad guys will learn. IMHO to say things like.." grow UP", or "let it go", or "be the better man", is just weakness from the moderator to do his or her job!! Internet fights or attacks will be addressed by both parties.. the only way to stop it is to 'report it' to a moderator, and the FREAKING Moderator do their JOB!! Just saying.......................................... Thumper
Ever watch sports? Hockey, football, basketball? It's always the retaliater that gets the penalty, not the instigator. Think about that.
Could not have said that any better! This whole exchange would have been prevented if he would have been warned and I was aware that the mods were taking action. Thats why we are to report offending posts, to keep us out of it.
Wow, over a year after this thread started and panties still firmly in a bunch..... OK, on to the next......
Yea and now they are starting to replay stuff and are now going back and penalizing the original offenders the next day, think about that.
Ok relax, I was sent PM's by mods and it is over. I just have to say I am a man and I can take what I dish out. I do not and have NEVER reported anyones post or went crying to mods because my feelings got hurt. The rest of the whole would is not anything like Cali so if anyone can not handle the real internet or m/a please find something better to do or go to the NAM or M|U.
At a committee meeting just last night, I accidentally pushed one of my own buttons, set myself off on a snit, much to the delight of my compatriots. So, be careful what you wish for, buttons are tricky critters.
:idea: I really wish we had a block or ignore button so I could not see some people's post at all. :fingerscrossed::aureola: :deadhorse::mad2::incazzato:
