i must have missed a bit of backstory

please. dont fill me in

Not sure there is one. If there is I don't know it.

Knock that shit off.:eyebrow:

I think someone needs a timeout - maybe its me, but that is so far over the line in so many threads.

It's all over the poly forums. Just leave them alone. Maybe they'll finish each other off and we can stop with the pissing matches.

Pissing matches are allowed. This is way beyond that. So if anyone wants to change their Mod vote, do it now, because I'm not going to stand for this shit and I have the power to back up my threats.

I can't believe anyone would say something like that on this forum. Regardless of what you think of the actual poster, there's no need to say nasty stuff about their family.

I vote for a temporary ban at the least.

Personally I think the pair of them have been out of line for days. That said, tw crossed the line big style when he started beating on Merc's missus. I understand why tw went down that route. He's trying to make a point about Merc's attitude in here. I can see what he's trying to do, but I think he has gone about it the wrong way. I don't care how nasty anybody in here is, that shouldnt open up their spouse to attack.

I don't think it should result in a ban though. Not unless both get banned. And I don't want that to happen. Annoying as this shit is it's all part of the Cellar.

That said, it ain't up to me *smiles* I'll support whatever the mods go with on this.

ditto

If Bruce wants to give them a cooling off period, I fully support him. Mercs nonsense was designed to set tw off, but tw stepped way over the line.

That was never the intention. I have no idea where that crap came from.

Every time he posts, you shout him down.

I don't see it that way. I just show the common thread of the same old stuff. It is never anything new and it is never referenced or cited. It is totally redundant. I don't feel that any of that warranted the references to my wife. None of you would tolerate that if it was done to you.

TW, I sometimes agree with what you post, but you did cross the line on this one.

The exchanges between you and Merc seem to bring out the worst in both of you, but IMO he has not stepped over it as badly as you have.

If you don't want to be labeled a 'wacko' by even more people, I suggest sticking to facts and opinions at based on facts.

On the original topic of the thread:

The Obamas request was reasonable. I would think that the incoming presidential family would fulfill the requirement for 'VIP guest'. Denying the request was either pettiness or incompetence.

I agree, all 3 of them have been stinking up the joint for weeks. But since when is calling someone or their spouse names *coughspexxvetcough* a bannable offense? Like Dana said, it's part of the cellar.

Of course you don't. You also like your dripping wife.

Others - did I get your attention? Good. Now deal with the problem and not its symptom. TheMercenary has been doing destructive posts to the Celllar for a long time. Adress it or expect me to post in the same tone.

You don't have to like it. But if you don't address the problem, then don't expect a solution.
