YMMV. I'm going for intolerbly irritating. To me, the whole point is that many of us are sick and tired of this shit spilling out of the forums in which it originated -quoting people out of thread and out of forum is always pretty low, but to do it in a thread that's about most of us being sick of this shit is intolerably irritating.

I see what you are saying but while this may just be my bias showing, I don't think some bizarre 4 way non-aggression treaty will really change the vibe. They do a great job of winding you up and you respond in ways that you shouldn't but in your defense, your vitriol is usually aimed at 2 people in particular(not that it is better, there just isn't as much collateral damage). It is a PERSONAL battle you're in whereas the those other 2 get shitty with anyone who doesn't agree with them on a consistant basis.

While none of us are spotless in this problem I can remember a time when classic was a frequent poster and things weren't nasty and personal. I don't remember a time where redux or spexx were active that the shit wasn't consistantly flying in all directions.

Biased or not, that's my 2 cents.

Lookout....seriously, I am open to suggestions on how to respond to posts like The Mercinary's typical ones above to nearly every substantive post I (or spexx or even others) make.

Were my posts above not respectful, addressing the issue and not personal? Were his responses?

As I said, ignoring him in an option..but IMO, that is not addressing the problem.

DON'T RESPOND! Duh! Yes it does address the problem. no response = no counter-response. Probelm Solved. Only a Dingleberry wouldn't see that.

Redux, I'm not going to argue that Merc's posts are a positive. They aren't. I've said so in the past before I threw in the towel and quit engaging in those forums as much as I did.

My politics don't align with Merc's but we do share some common ground - that doesn't mean I stand with him in everything he says. I view the cellar as a place to interact... Sort of like a bar. You seem to see it as a team sport. I don't get that. As a very unwise politician once said...'If you aren't with me, ur against me...'.

But a wise jedi knows that only a sith deals in absolutes.

Huh...a team sport?

All I want is for my respectful posts like those above to be treated respectfully or ignored...and not face a personal attack ad nauseum by one person, who obviously has better connections with many here.

IMO, it looks to me that you only really want to address half the problem.

Thats your right....and UT can ban me any time to make Monster happy.

monster · 06-17-2010, 09:53 PM

Say Redux, what positive things have you done for this board? Specifically?

Honestly, Monster...I dont really think you would look objectively....but look at the examples above.

monster · 06-17-2010, 09:54 PM

And with that i'm done with this. Reply at will but you won't get a further response.

EDIT: oh scrap that i lied. WIMP. suck it and see.

monster · 06-17-2010, 09:56 PM

Name one. Give me a chance...

It is a bizarre false equivalency that has come up around Redux and Merc. Can anyone come up with an equivalent to post 46, but with the roles reversed?

That is all I was asking...and evidently, many dont want to address it.

I have acknowledged being part of the problem.

I have said I will try to do better.

But unless, Merc makes the same commitment, IMO, nothing will change.

I dunno, but right now i'm really hoping no-one invokes Rule 34.
