Question about the Other...

This should get interesting! [/pulls up chair grabs popcorn and beer]

It shouldn't get "interesting." I should get a straight, professional answer that levels the playing field.

Nevermind, Fredi answered my question. Go ahead and close this before it turns into another drama fest..... :P

I still think your a spy with a bitter attitude! You are always bitching about things that happened before your time. Take a chill pill or JUST LEAVE!!!!

How is bitching about something that happened to me equivalent to me bitching about things that happened before my time?

This post has nothing to do with anything that happened to anyone other than me.

good point, but your post just needs a little punctuation (kinda hard to read) :wink:

youre such a fairy.

*has a nightmare about forum fairies*

I agree, dvdpiddy needs to grow up and if he is going to find every little thing offensive he also needs to get thicker skinned too.

The thing I have a problem with is posters stirring things up just for sake of a drama enhanced flame war.

edit:I tried PMing Fredi about this but he takes too long and I'm an impatient bastard so I posted it here in hopes of getting a quicker response.

IMO
You started out right by PMing Freddie. Learn some patience and you would probably have this resolved by now instead of drawing a negative response from me.

Now is the time to avoid unnecessary pot stirring (at least about forum rules etc.) because of the current state of everyone's nerves due to all the changes.

While I'm not sure where the forum is heading and am also concerned about our community, I do realize the need to reign in formerly unbridled conversation. I really would hate to see the "other" section changed too much and am under the impression that it is invisible to web crawlers. If this is the case, then I really don't see where a link contained in a post inappropriate or otherwise is a big deal (if properly labeled). I can see concern about the contents in members signatures because the moment you enter anything in your signature it is visible in every post you have ever made. Because of this it will show up in all forms or at least the ones that you have posted in.

Anyway, things that have happened Since the new forum seem to me to be almost exclusively due to members attitudes Relating to a sense of
"this place can't run without me"
"I'm jealous because I should have the power given to others "
"but look at everything I have contributed"
"I've been here since Moby Dick was a minnow"
"why wasn't I consulted"
Too bad this post isn't in the other section , I can just imagine the fun to be had with continuing this list. So, you get the idea. This is only my opinion and I could be way off base here, but I really don't think so.

I'm all for stopping worries about things that cannot be changed and things that may be changed in the future and just getting back to having some good Ole heated discussions and fun.

I pm'd Fredi and did not get a response all day.

I made this thread and had a response within about an hour.

I don't believe in coincidences.

However, this is exactly why I asked for the thread to be closed, because it's turning into a debate, which is not what I wanted.

I was just trying to grab a moderator's attention and it worked.

What you should have done is use the "Report" button on the post, and one of us would have handled it rather than you go to Fredi. Which begs the question, how did you know to go to Fredi when you plainly know who the moderators are?

Well, that's what happens if you open a topic in a forum, you start a debate. I'd say thought that with russell's post it was a kind of natural end of the debate, but apparently you thought otherwise (just my personal observation, nothing else).

Reread my original post. Fredi PM'd me first.

I was just trying to clarify that I was not trying to start drama, I was trying to get results. It was for my personal gain, nothing more.

I understand that by starting a thread, I open it up to public debate, but that's also the exact reason I asked for it to be closed.

The whole thing is done and over with now, so I'm going to be leaving this thread.

It's time to get back to contributing absolutely nothing to the Other. :twisted:
