It would be nice if everyone could get past the back and forth crap.
I am just as quilty as anyone else I suppose. Like the saying goes it takes two to Tango. You need a little controversey to make the forums lively, but you don't want it to get to a point where you have a group against one person.
GB isn't part of the little group, nor am I which d ...[text shortened]... t we should all be able to post and say what we want within reason. Of course within the TOS.
in short it is his own anti-social behaviour that gets him (rightly) criticised so much. i think your sympathy for him is misplaced.

Originally posted by BlackampI believe that nit picking and going in a thread just for the purpose of nit picking and being critics, is not the way to go.

The way you can show me, you don't like my thread, is not to come into it. Of course there is no Drama then and the us against them of course.
I think I was a big part of the TSM/PFC thing ending to tell you the truth. I would like to see the obsession with GB's Threads/posts to simmer down some. As I said a little controversey is ok and helps makes the forum lively. I think far too often we get a little too carried away with it.
Thread bump for trev 33.... I would like to invite you read quickly through this thread and see for yourself where most of the negative comments come from.
I will comment on your @rusty thread later today or this evening time permitting. I have some unexpected business I have to take care of today.

Exactly what I wanted you to do...I can see why you don't want to though. 😉
Here is another one you can look at since I've been back... Ugh thread by Darvlay.
Another example: Where do most of the negative comments come from?

The negative comments were not started or entertained by me. We both know it.
I know it is hard for you to make your point on how I am starting all the so called fights if you can't point out examples of where I am doing so...I have already pointed out two threads to you where I am not the the one with the negative attitude. I will of course defend myself, as you or anyone else in this forum would.
Lets see some example of where you think I am the reason for the Conflict in the forums since I came back, this is what you are talking about in the @ very rusty thread. All I have done since I came back is discuss why several posters are nit picking, at one poster. If I am missing something here please point it out to me.
I do have some things to attend to this afternoon, but I will get back to you on this, as I do think it is worth discussion. I will agree that in the "Announcement Thread" Call for Moderators, I may have said more than I should have, but I understood that it was up for discussion. There were certain people I didn't think would make good Mods and I said so.

Probably because I am not a yes boy to the friends group. I say what is on my mind, and do not try and candy coat anything. If I see a bunch of people nit-picking at one person, I will say something to those people involved, ESPECIALLY if the person is an interwebz friend of mine. Although I would do the same for you or anyone else.
I am not the one that is calling any names, since by return. All name calling does is make the person doing it look bad. Not to say I am an angel and have never done so in the past. Since I have come back, I am not the one making the negative statements to start the converstation off with.
I am sure there are those who would be quite happy if I would crawl under that rock and stay there. But hell, like you yourself would say who wants to make them happy. You are from perfect and do enough nit picking and pot stiring of your own. I think one needs to clean up their own back yard before they start in on talking about how bad their neightbours back yard is? I am actually trying to make improvements to mine. 😉
