I have. Note I have only made one softball comment since yesterday. I have received my marching orders from the peeps in charge and that is that.

To be fair there were a few of us who did want spexvet banned. Not just because of what he called jinx in that one thread but because of his habit of stirring the shit and posting in that manner. For some people using that one word set them off, for me it was just one more piece of the puzzle.

tw is an annoying petty little liar. his posts don't add a hell of a lot around here because they are generally opinion presented as fact BUT he has been a consistent (if not respected) member for a long time and I see no reason to change that unless he chooses to ignore the moderator warnings. This is classic tw. When pressed for answers he gets nasty. Back when I challenged him to support his views on investing he chose instead to insult me about my wife leaving me. I laughed it off because the words of a man I don't respect don't really mean much to me. He attacks people in a personal manner if they challenge his opinions. Not much value in the poster if you ask me.

Merc as near as I can tell isn't a liar. His politics are a bit off from mine and I don't really care for how he presents his case quite often. I don't like the way he treated Ibram - and I said so. I don't like what he said to Shawnee - and people challenged him. his changing of words (demoncrat) is annoying and petty but really pretty insignificant. Importantly, for me, when a mod stepped in and said XXXX is unacceptable - he stopped. That keeps him inside the lines for the banning rules in my book.

Personally I think pissing matches are fun at times. I've had my share with tw and some of them got pretty nasty. I still smile at some of them. BUT if any mod had told me to cease or be banned I would have stopped because that's why we elect the mods. If tw crosses the line after bruce's time stamped warning he should be shown the door.

And I made a personal public appology on that one as well within a week or so. I made peace with it and am done with the issue on that one. I am moving on with this issue as well.

I didn't say you said anything, I asked questions I wanted to know the answer to. Thank you for gracing me with a response sire.

That's why I detailed my position.
I'm not your sire, nor your dam.
btw, both are family members and off limits.

So are Griff's goats. :p

Yes well, I think I probably provide enough entertainment for the mob when I decide to go off on a tangent, but I guess I'd be annoyed if someone decided to make personal comment about Dazza after I'd quoted him.

Mind you, if they did, he'd probably join the cellar in order to 'clarify his position'. lol

Good God it was a fucking joke. He picked it up as something else and ran with it.

No, it was harassment. You got what you wanted, he lost it. Big victory for you, enjoy it.

No the joke I was talking about was Jinx's quote. Stop reading into my comments what you want to believe they mean.

That is crazy talk anyway, this is not about some "victory for me".

tw's response in that thread was fair game, although uncalled for.
Taking it all over the board was definitely not right.

Oh Merc, Griff's right. You're far from an innocent party in this ongoing fiasco.

Granted. I admit to repeatedly quoting, his repeated diatribes against the same stuff, over, and over, and over, and over, and over. Guilty.

Anyway, Bush could go out in a box. That would be a class act. IMHO.
