So what you're saying, is that in your eyes, this wasn't a tantrum on your part...right.... :rolleyes:Quote:

Why bring up the "tantrum"? Is that your problem with him? If so, let's not forget that it was taken out on me. And, if you disagree with that, then thanks for the support. But: what about adept's issue? Why flip the script and make it look like it's his fault? That I don't get!
I suppose that when you get right down to it, this was all about post padding, and the sudden "popularity" of teh Way. I somehow had a feeling it would do this to the board. And, I don't think it is right. And, the countdown was "lame" and I called it that. And, it continues to this day and it is still lame.
But, adept was "made an example of" here, and I can understand his feelings of being hurt. After all, this was the second time. Tell me that you can't understand that? And, to top it all off, apologies were never made, but instead, insults were thrown his way. That was not right.
So, why not talk about the issues that brought this problem to its head, instead of obfuscation? After all, if this is not dealt with in a mature way, we will have lost another good member, if not more than one. THAT I don't want to see.
Sorry, I had to go look that word up... :rolleyes:Quote:

To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand: “A great effort was made... to obscure or obfuscate the truth” (Robert Conquest).
To render indistinct or dim; darken: The fog obfuscated the shore.
The point is, that it was just a little fun, Adept stood up to the brunt the first time rather well, and we all had fun with the whole thing, 3000 posts, and what, two weeks later, expecting some of the same fun.
Instead we got Adept, you, Inept, Granddad, and anyone else that felt “compelled” enough to bring it up, calling it disrespectful and demeaning, and all of the crap that it wasn't.
Nothing needs to be addressed; no apologies need to be made. It was a practical joke, Adept, we "thought" was man enough, apparently not, and the rest of you patted away his tears.
In the end, someone got the rules changed so we will never go down that road again. It was stupid that we were able to delete threads on our own anyway and it’s about time it got corrected! Hell, if you want it perfect, we shouldn't be able to delete posts either, or for that matter, be able to edit a post. Once it’s said, it should stick. Are you, and any of the other sulkers man enough to comply to those rules??? If so, cool, I am game. You_know why? Because I don’t put that much weight on what happens around here. If it changes…STFW.
BTW, if anything could change, I would get rid of the green…I lied the blue much better…and KILL THE ADS!!!
Go ahead Trip, give it your best shot...
Imagine for a moment that you just made a new friend. Yeah, I know, TRY to imagine.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif The two of you hit it off really well and you start hanging together. One day you start "playing" just the way you always have which never bothered your other friends, but it bothers your new friend. What would you do? After all, you thought the "playing" was just practical joking. Right? But, it wasn't to your new friend. Would you realize not everyone is the same and offer an apology? Or, would you just say "feck him if he can't take a joke...he's just a pussy"?
The way I see it is that adept does not like to "play" this way. So, accept that and move on right? Or not?
BTW
you're almost at 9k, so the countdown starts tomorrow?https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif Congrats.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif
Damn man, I am not taking shots Ya_knucklehead. I just want this crap over with and adept back w/o all the WOTTP crap which caused all this to begin with.Quote:

I would tell that new friend to learn quickly, be miserable or leave. No matter what, I am not going to change the entire group for one.Quote:

Honestly Adept, do what you want to go do, nobody can stop you, nobody can make you stay. You had fun, we had fun, communication got all dicked up. Hell, I have been against WOTPP since day freaking one, and still not one ****ing message. So do whatever you have to do, I will know what kind of man you really are....
Change the entire group for one? Exactly how many people were delteting threads and thought it was fun cleete? Two? How many objected to it? Enough that Scott had to act. And, after he took a vacation, how many started hurling insults? Again: TWO!! Starting to get the drift?
That being said. How many do that post pad crap? Well, I think that group is up to about a dozen now.
You were saying?
It's not about being right, but knowing when you are wrong and then doing something about it.Quote:

Nope, I don't see us doing any wrong.
Cool, and I have The Alamo to watch now. And, I am so looking forward to it.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif
Since it was Ya_know and myself, you saying we are no longer friends or that we were never friends?Quote:
