Subject: Re: Watch your tone Author: Floppy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:16:32 04/03/01 Tue In reply to: derek 's message, "Watch your tone" on 08:05:45 04/03/01 Tue Watch my tone? What the hell is that supposed to mean? I have gotten a lot of shit from Zisel Ben, and no one has spoken to them. I do not even know who you are. You have simply been lurking. I came here thinking I could engage in some interesting discussions, and I have been greeted with closed minds, negativity, and attacks. I simply wanted Anthony, who runs this forum (not you), to understand my situation. The forum seemed pretty dead before Bisel Zen, icky-icky, and myself helped to prop it back up on its feet. But if the negative attitudes continue, I doubt any of us will stay. My "tone" is a direct result of the attitude handed to me by the other members of this forum. Since Anthony has deemed it a good show to delete posts, it is rediculous that he chooses not to for attacks and nonsense messages. I am simply trying to help him get the forum on its feet and off to a good start. You should feel the same way. Derek, instead of lurking and trying to act like the forum moderator, try participating in the discussions. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

After reading that, it sounds like you're one of the little kiddies with nothing better to do than prod people in here and try to start fights. Also sounds like you were one of the people who may have started shit in here before, or at least participated. If I'm wrong, accept my sorries. If I'm right, you're a dick. I hope Anthony deletes your posts before you start all kinds of shit in here again. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Watch your tone Author: derek [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:44:47 04/03/01 Tue I have not been involved in these discussions, I was brought in by an accusation and an insult. Mediocre I think it was. and that is fine, I have not displayed my best side in this forum. I have tried to stay out of it. I am not trying to mediate or get involved in the running of the site. I just want to sit back and read what is going on. However, I would like to say that what I did in the past in this forum was just stirring shit up. I responded to some pretty fucked up messages and some pretty angry people with rediculous responses. They responded predictably, and I was somewhat satisfied. I think it is over now for the most part, all I ask is to be left out until I chime in again. If at that time you find a reason to attack me again then so be it, just keep in mind that I, when I participate again will just be making an honest attempt at discussion. I hope as adults that this will be accepted. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Watch your tone Author: Floppy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:44:57 04/03/01 Tue Superfly, thank you for proving my point. See that Anthony? Personal attack. Things like that drive people off forums. I never once tried to start a fight. It is also nice that you believe Anthony should delete my posts. I have contributed some decent messages to this forum, while you have not posted much at all. Out of your very few posts, one is an attack on my character, and a cry to delete my posts. You contribute to the forum's downfall. Congratulations. Apologize, and change your behaviour, and I will consider staying. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Watch your tone Author: Floppy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:55:41 04/03/01 Tue Sure thing Derek. Thank you for clearing that up. Yes, I obviously did read some of the stuff you had posted before. So, I was assuming. Sorry your name was brought in. Feel free to post whenever you want. We look forward to hearing from you. And, from your Rants and Raves articles, it seems like you have plenty to discuss. So lay it on whenever you feel ready. I will stick around to read it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Watch your tone Author: Superfly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:46:42 04/03/01 Tue Floppy, Just because I don't have an opinion on any of these discussions doesn't mean that I can't rip you for turning this place into Romper Room by threatening to leave. By all means, please keep posting. It's entertaining. But you're wasting your time if you're going to log on here every five minutes looking for my apology for my "behaviour." This isn't the place for childishness. Snukka [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
