Todd, you are so full of yourself most read your posts just to see a new level of "concededness" in a human being.

I could go on, but it's not worth my time trying to beat it into your head. You're a legend in your own mind!





And what part of the Euturpe saga was :

a) a personal attack. I just repeated what she posted in another thread where she attacked Nick for his lack of understanding about what it was to be a rape victim and then she blabbed about her "experience" with the subject. NO PERSONAL ATTACK.

or

b) Unwarranted. Clearly she qualified for #2 on my list in that she didn't even OWN a Fiero, never posted in anything but OT, AND personally attacked everyone on the forum..YOU included. She was useless to the forum and your warped recollection of the incident only makes clear your bias. REMEMBER, I'm still here, she is gone. Comprendo? Hmmm, with the invention of words like "concededness" I'd say ....NO.

No, actually you couldn't. Which is why you won't.

But by all means, waste the next week searching through the archives. You'll find out how wrong you are. And I'll enjoy thinking how frustrated you are while screaming at your PC, "I'll find some proof damn it! I will, I will, I will"!

if it's all in good fun, none of these are an issue. if it gets hot, back away. no purpose is served by rudeness.



A good set of guidelines, tho I might have an issue with the 3 posts per thread, if it is a multi page thread, and something I am really interested in.

There are several people here I would prefer to see tone their rhetoric down a bit--or a lot, especially on the personal side of things.
Politically speaking, there is no stauncher conservative than myself, but I have learned it is not necessary to become abusive when posting in political threads--not even if another party does so 1st. It would be counter productive and only reflects badly on myself.

I already know how big my penis is.

agreed, as long as the discourse remains civil.

The only other rule I have is to go after pernicious posters actively. I think we can ALL name several posters who are gone and no one is sad to see them outta here. If someone is a real threat to the forum then I don't just neg them, I follow them around and beat them up until they leave. I've been criticized for this before but before you judge me ask yourself if we are better without Shuan, or Euturpe, or I'm Back, etc.




Gawd, you’re absolutely nauseating. You make it sound like YOU are the one who’s solely responsible for cleaning up this forum Todd, when in reality you’re one of the worst offenders for dragging it down.

You still can’t man up to the fact that you slimed all over a woman (Euterpe) who used to post here simply because she stood up to your bully tactics. Hell, Euterpe more than stood up to you, she made you look small... very small.

By the way tough guy, I’ve been waiting over a year now for you to run me out of here. What’s the problem?

Like it or not I actually provide a valuable service here. Euterpe is no where to be seen. Why? Because her personal attacks got out of control and I started a one man war to get rid of her. It cost me a few negatives from her cronies but she's gone. Ed'sB52/I'm Back? gone. Shaun Hammett? Gone. Stillwell? Gone...well, back again but give me time. My tactics may be offensive to some but they get results and the forum is a better place without these people.

Now you may have a point if you question who I am to judge other's this way. I can't deny that I use my own standards (in conjunction with the PFF rules). That may or may not be fair. But I can live with my conscience. Just as your neighborhood needs garbage men and oceans need sharks, forums need men willing to clean house to preserve order and the freedoms of other posters. Cliff can't do it all. He needs to be seen to be impartial. And the longevity of this forum when SOOOOOO many others have failed is due in part to people like me who are not afraid to tell a trouble maker to get lost and stay on their asses like a pit bull until they clean up their act or leave.

I try to keep my "debate" style more respectful. I don't always succed but then again I don't "debate" with everyone. With some it's a fight; and this is no debate. It's a fight. Patrick started it, I'm gonna end it. And agree with more or not, my fight record here is worth betting on.




What a joke.

Well done Patrick, I see you successfully managed to troll-up another thread and get it canned.

Can you just, for 5 seconds, stop being a loser...you know, just for laughs?
