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.

Hardly. I have been quite tolerant. And now I am only doing what he has been doing for many months. To discuss his dripping wife is consistent with how he post. Attack the symptom or begin dealing with the problem that started this long ago. Don't post at me. You know who started this. You want it to stop. Then go after the problem and the old tw returns.

My suddenly tone change got your attention. Now, don't deal with what is obvious. Deal with the problem. I have nothing to apologize for. My change of tone now was quite justified long ago. Brianna defined the problem elsewhere using the word "constant". Did you join a rebuttal of the problem or ignore it until I made it impossible to ignore?

Gosh oh golly tw that sounds like a threat.
It's 2 pm on 1-11-09 and if I see one more crack about Merc's wife, you're outta here. That's not a threat, it's a promise.

And nothing I posted was a threat. It was facts - in the same way that TheMercenary posts his facts.

Instead, address the only problem. I will only be outta here because you got silly emotional rather than deal with the problem. Where is that post more than threatening TheMercenary for personal attacks? April and Oynxcougar got banned for much less. Banning only because I finally got your attention? Banning me only because I finally decided to retaliate? How is it that one who has been here longer than you saw no reasons to ban those others or Barak - but see TheMercenary as far more destuctive to the Celar?

Get your head on straight Bruce. I am intentionally testing you to think logically or emotionally – to stop ignoring the problem. Logic, my friend. I am in only one day replying, in kind and fully justified, to months of attacks. I am only the symptom. Can you deal with problem or do you always attack the symptom? Notice how TheMercenary's personal attack posts have only increased in numbers and intensity while you remain silent – encourage it.

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

Aliantha · 01-11-2009, 12:26 AM

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.

DanaC · 01-11-2009, 05:50 AM

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.

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 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.

At some point the noise level of all three become intollerably irritating. Name-calling is one thing but making the board unreadable is what gets my goat.

TheMercenary · 01-11-2009, 10:26 AM

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.

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.
