I don't think you have the faintest clue about what kind of man I am, to be honest.

You see weakness in respecting others and expecting the same.

You see an adversary in anyone who disagrees or threatens you.

...or at least, that's what you's have us believe from your activity here.

Should I ever wish to leave - which has not been decided one way or another - you still won't get a PM from me about it.

Because that decision won't be influenced by you at all.

Adept... If you let the bastards get you down, you let them win. That's as simple as black and white. One of the reasons I KEEP coming back here is to train myself to have a thicker hide.

And I still think you're all a bunch of idiots for CARING about the damn post counts in the first place. Everybody knows its not the size of your post count that matters, it's how you use it! :D

They won't.

There can be no winner when there is no game.

I'm still trying to figure out if my time is worth spending here anymore, that is all.

I'm just so... drained now when I come here.

And I can't help but notice that the mood had improved during my absence (or so it seems), and that now that I've posted a few times in the Lounge that war is breaking out.

Hmmmmmm.

Well, I for one am happy to see you again, Adept.

I have a certain respect for intelligent discourse, and you have been the source of quite a bit of it here. Sometimes, we really are too close to the forest to see the trees.

Let's all just be friends, I find it very disconcerting that everyone is feuding and hostile over an instance that contains negligible real world value. Because I am just now returning to the forums from and extended absence, I'm only faintly conscious about the situation at hand. What I have read in the past 6 pages of this thread, is an expression of anger that should have been suppressed by all that were involved. I believe this forum will become a better place if everyone would simply shake hands and make up, while learning valuable lessons from their mistakes. Lets keep in mind, the reason for these forums is helping others in the first place. I have profited much, from the wisdom and knowledge of all of the wotpp'ers here and hope that I can reimburse as much in the future. :thumbs2: :thumbs2:

There was no scrambling - I just did not pursue it.
It was never funny. I stated so from the first onset.
He's a grown man. He can do as he please. As can Cleetus, Ya_Know, Grandad, RRR, etc...
I have no additional comments to make about thread deletion privileges being revoked.
No. That's not coming back. This is just clearing some misconceptions and clearing the air.
Personally, I don't see a civil war.

I see a pathetic grasping at illusionary machismo, playing "king of the hill" and then brazen statements that said hill is unimportant when failure occurs and the popularity isn't there to be received.

That's enough for me at this time.
I think the only thing deleted here is your sense of humour. I'm "amost" shocked that you took my post seriously. There was certainly no malice intended but you have taken it that way. As has been hinted there must be something going on privately to make you as mad as this, I hope all is well soon, will the real Adept please stand up.

Oh dude .. what to say .. this has always happened here, once upon a time it was over who was the 'best tech' & various folks vied with their 'tech skills' to show up incompetence & mistooks ! ;) - this was good as it meant reems of technical whatsit all over the shop & folks (or I did) ended up learning about all sorts of stuff ..

Then somehow or other this 'pissing contest' found its way into the lounge where 'really' there are no right & wrong answers, & so its gone on with various folks not even knowing who they are meant to be pissing on !!!

Well you are right that if you aren't enjoying your time here at the forums there isn't much point in coming here recreationally... I left for a while for pretty much the same reason, but came back when I felt the mood strike again...

But it's kinda sad to see it happening all the same. You're one of the few decent people here.

Who pissed in your cereal?

So is there not one single person, other then RRR, who can tell me what the **** I did so wrong to piss him off so much?

Could the virus kill the grimace? (gotta love the clerks cartoon)

I didn't get to read the post that started all this because it was deleted (which is kind of ironic if you think about it), so even though I usually seem to side with a d e p t on most things, I'm not taking a side on this.

Sums it up for me to.

I like and respect Adept. I hope he chooses to stay. As ive heard here before on occasion, if you don't like something, dont participate. Not every thing worth doing is fun, but here, this place, should'nt be considered 'Work'.

If you choose to leave I hope to continue to see you on CoH, and definetly keep in touch.

Oh please...it's been like that for years around here, and it’s still very pleasant...if you don't like it, go to a Yahoo forum and see what you get, it’s not nearly as friendly! 50% of the "pissing contest" is perpetuated by people taking this sh!t seriously when they shouldn’t, the other 50% by people performing it tongue in cheek, which is fun on a whole new level. Everyone just needs to see that most of the time it’s a joke, and it’s worth laughing about…but first you gotta twist it up a little to have some fun!

This ain’t grade school, this is an Internet forum. Most of what goes on here is entertainment, and insightful. Don’t tell me you got caught up in the whole thing.

And as Cleetus said, is it that you didn’t like what we did, or that you never considered us friends in the first place…it’s too bad either way, but I can live with it if I must.

Could have fooled me. Your own comments before and after negate that statement.

Gazzak, my comments were meant to clear some things up, not to flame you. There was no tone in your reply so the humour did not carry well.

Pretty much the underlying complexity of the current situation, IMHO.

Yeah, see I read them and none of this makes any damned sense or clarifies the subject. In fact, everyone seems to be arguing about a non existant topic about deleting threads or somesuch but that explains nothing because by thier nature, a deleted thread can not be read. Dur.

And I want my status as Lt. General reinstated, and my promotion to full general on it's way. At that time, I want to eat cheese with Adept, since we will be the same rank, and he will admit that he was wrong!
