Nice to know I have somewhere to go and be insulted whenever I stop by.  Thanks Dan for making this such a friendly and fun atmosphere.

No thank you for taking the joy out of disusing real issues on this message board just so that you can further your cause against the evil right community.

I think you have your buddy to thank for that Dan.

If you define "joy of discussing issues" as accepting the AM radio spin on them unquestionably, then I do apologize.

If it's unenjoyable for everyone to hear the other side of the story, I truly am sorry, but as I understand it, a forum is where people are free to speak their minds.


Let me reiterate, because I know that its difficult when you are playing your little games, the administration of this board does not care what view point you bring to these discussions. You two are not the only people that hold your view point, yet they do not have any problems discoing things here. So you only make yourselves look foolish when you play the “I am a battered liberal at the hands of the big bad connectives” card. Further every time I and other administers and moderators make mention of the problem at hand, we put all three of you in the same light. If you where to look a few posts up Bills name is right next to yours. So every time you play the “Favorites” card you only further make yourselves look foolish.

Maybe you should spend more time worrying about your own actions and less about the actions of others. This is after all a message board you cant win an argument against people who disagree with you, it just will never be done. What you do however, when you conduct your little wars, is disrupt these boards and make it less enjoyable for every one else because people need to wade though 100s of crap posts by the three of you just to get the good on topic ones.

You don’t like when I call you immature, you want to believe it’s the other guy and not you. Then prove it and make the change, ignore what the other guy says and go on. Let him be immature and don’t sink to his level. Forget about the “if he stops, I’ll stop line” - last I checked that’s what kids say. You just stop and don’t continue to act immature like he is and you will prove you are better. Other wise, regardless of who starts it, if you engage you are being immature as well.

Man, I have to talk to my kids in this manner, I would be ashamed of my self if I put my self in a position that I needed to be talk to in this way.

Your solution allows him to continue his behavior unfettered. I think there should be consequences to his actions.

There aren’t any consequences for your actions are there? If you want consequences for him, we will have to impose them on you as well. The consequences can be that we review each of your posts before we allow them through. Do you want that? Assuming that is not what you want, then I would suggest you just let it be and be the bigger man (that is if you are the bigger man, at this point I doubt you are - you are both immature and will never understand what I am saying).

As I said, I'd stop if he would stop. Since it's clear he won't, I'm not just going to roll over and submit to a bully.

As for your solution, I'd be fine with that if you did it to both of us. Feel free.

That is an immature response, that is what I expect my kids to say when I tell them to stop something. We aren’t in junior high school, you don’t need to confront a bully because they cant steal your lunch money over the internet. If you ignore them, who are they going to bully?

Of course he would have to agree to it as well for it to go down this way. How can I give you the upper hand by putting the ball in your court like that (by imposing on him and sisko something you agreed to). I tell you what, you abstain form your conflict with Bill and if the hostility from him still continues although you are ignoring him, then it will be clear who the trouble maker is and we can take steps form their. And that would have to be a real effort, not just words.

I've done that several times before. Most notably after the last time you all got on my case. Feel free to check the record. I don't think it will accomplish much.

I like your solution of reviewing our posts. I think we should try that one.

Gvok, you are all talk, you said you would ignore him yet you didn’t. You always add your clause of "if he stops I'll stop" witch leaves you an in anytime you want it. Just plain ignore him – do it for longer then a day, longer then a week and then you are doing as you say you do.

No its not, I will volunteer take on the job of enforcing the agreement you come to, its not my job to negotiate between the three of you, you are grown men you should be able to do that on your own.

I thought you originally presented this idea as a punishment you would impose on us if we continued to misbehave. Now it's an agreement we can willingly enter into? Anyway, I'm sure he's monitoring this little interchange. If he wants to he can contact us.

Feel free to back this up with a link. I have absolutely no idea which thread you are refering too when you say we all got on your case last time.

I have always and will continue to treat you both the same way.

Don't make me use my bare hands on you.
How about a moratorium on 'alpha, mike foxtrot'. I know what that means and it is rude.

IMO, ABG, you should stop ending comments or replies with stuff like 'smart guy' or other more demeaning references. It is antagonizing.

I also don't like the implications that all lefties (or righties) think a certain way. I am a righty (both handed and politically) and I would hate to be lumped in with the likes of Pat Buchannan, Jerry Fallwell, or most others without thought by somebody. Can we treat each other as though they are their own person? (I said some mean things implying that CptnJeff is no more than a parrot for his history teacher, I own that and it was mean-spirited of me).

The personnal attacks questioning peoples contributions to charities and motives for contributing to charities was absurd. That is a personal thing and it involves generosity and love even if another thinks that it is a worthless charity for whatever reason. Give me a break, I am just glad that people care enough about others to do something, it is better than a government program in my book. We on the right are always saying that private charities are a better solution than the government, aren't we? (sorry to lump everyone on the right together like that :lol: )

Anyway, chill out, this is just a message board. ABG, I am in agreement with you on most things political, but I think that you are too rude to other posters with whom you disagree. If gvok, sisko or somerled irritate you, just ignore them or something rather than be provoked into an arguement. Geeze, I do this several times a day.

I am saying all this in a rambling public post and not in a private message for the first time here, but it is how I see it, my friends. It's just politics, don't take it personnally, save that for the people you care about.

In correct, I presented it as the only punishment that we could impose on you short of banning. I then stated that if I where to do that to Bill I would have to do that to you, and asked if you would like that. It was you how said you wanted it done. If we where ever forced to take this action it would be a lot less cordial.

If you feel that this situation cannot be resolved through maturity and you would like to volunteer for this action, then we will comply so long as you get the rest to also agree to it. We will not impose on otheres what you alone agree to.
