Originally posted by cashthetrashMy bargain is quite simple. I continue to believe that you and those of the Silent Majority who are prominently outspoken here, are wrong.

I make no bargain for the rest of my clan, though I hope that they may yet follow suit, I am acting on my own behalf. Are you willing to join me and show others that we both have the better condition of these forums in regard?
Starman, if you disagree with the second paragraph then I don't know what your bargain is? It seems rather on the retail side to me, rather than a bargain. You can't call for a cease fire while your troops continue to toss grenades. More details please. Maybe you could use your talents to write up a peace agreement that the entire forum could all sign. ...[text shortened]... o. Just remember though, what is good for one side needs to be good for the others as well. 🙂

Kind of ironic how the clan that supposedly wants to bring peace to the forums, can't survive without conflict.
Agree to disagree - nothing is wrong with that.
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Originally posted by StarrmanWell, Starman as you can see by the posts directly under yours you are correct you can't speak for the rest of your clan. And that is why I think you and those of your following are wrong. So what you are basically saying is that so long as the rest can continue. You want me to set back and just take it as it comes in. But, if I respond to one of the others then you can say see I tried and use that as an excuse to start up again. And to use it against me. Do you you think I am a fool. You must. Look what is one more. You haven't offered anything. Give me a deal I can work with or it's ridiculous. Now I can have a truce with you only if that is what you want. But only with you. None of that you say something to one of my friends after he said something to you, I get to jump in and spit. Heck we have that already. So the others will have to make their own treaties. See you can already see the taunts from your side. And as long as someone is still sending in their verbal missiles . I am sorry Starman but your aren't asking for a truce you are asking for a surrender. Go back to the drawing board.
My bargain is quite simple. I continue to believe that you and those of the Silent Majority who are prominently outspoken here, are wrong.

A truce? Phlabs and i have talked about a truce. Darv and I talked about a truce. HoH and I and Moldy and I talked about how it was fun to fight.
If you want a truce you don't start out by saying "I believe you're wrong;" you start out by saying we're all here for different reasons, but if we look below the surface we may find that we're all here for many of the same reasons. You treat people as individuals and not as a part of some demonic group.
So, do you really want peace?
What's up Starrman?
