Thread for big D and his apologists

[Spicoli]

Whoa.....

A slight return to normalcy.

Gesture appreciated, whoever changed the title back....




Once again. I started a thread inviting people to go in there and have civil discussions, and first it was crashed by our resident racist..... and then it was called "bait" by a forum moderator.

What is this world coming to...

That's sort of the point of the entire forum bud . That's been established yeh. And it was a bit of bait let's be honest.

Good, I’m glad you said that, please tell me how tits having a civil thread is bait I’m curious

[walrus]

I’m getting confused by fenald changing the thread name. It must have really hit a nerve as I haven’t seen him do it like this before. I also have yet to see anyone defend big brother D and defend his posts.

It's done for a reaction and suggests incivility is the norm I suppose. And so what if Fenster calls it bait. Baits a bit like making a thread calling out mods or other members and poking and prodding.

If one really wants to be civil, simply do it .

I think that’s reading too much into it. Much like beanz and his truce threads. They didn’t work but the intent was honorable. As far as calling out the mods I did that in the big D thread but it wasn’t serious. I think on occasion people feel the need to call or ask for chill. If even that is now called shit stirring I don’t know what to say.

Chill is good. It's sometimes what mods look for but not sure I didn't receive an instructions manual. The shit stirring comes when people start reacting to lack of reaction, the redundant poke nudge ramp up.

The two threads that brought this most recent thing on were not poking. Maybe at big D asking him to keep his racist shit in one place but he can just ignore that anyway. My thing about the mods going after him and me petitioning saddo to be big D’s official mod I thought were quite obviously jokes. Tits doing the civil thread was just face value so I don’t understand the issue

If we can get past that, we could probably begin to make some progress.


As far as the "let's be honest" about my thread being "bait" well..... think what you will. I'll just state that it wasn't bait, and I'm old enough to know the difference between baiting someone and truthfully attempting to hash out differences in a civil manner. Amazing that my "let's be civil" thread can be called "bait".... but reams upon reams of insult-heaping threads and posts between two people... as well as thread titles being changed at will.... those things are ok and applauded with a wink or two.

I'm not the only one to object to some of the double standards here. I'm just one of the most vocal... and that seems to rub some of you the wrong way.

[Fenster]

@walrus - well played, very well played.

Like a puppet on a string.

No. No it wasn't. And I'm disappointed if not surprised that you would go along with the popular (if only by two people) narrative.

It's a bit presumptuous to claim to know the reasoning behind a thread like that, unless we've known each other for longer than we have.

That's what's wrong with trying to read between the lines. Sometimes there ARE no in-betweens and then it becomes a matter of making things up at our convenience.

There's something to be said for reading things at face value.

So proceed with the "buds" in response, but at this point I pretty much don't care. You (and whomever) will believe what you want to believe, whether it's sworn on a stack of Bibles or not.

Sad, really.

[TitoFan]

I would actually use the PM or chat functions if I thought it was going to do any good.

But it's painfully obvious the three of you have long made up your minds as to the intentions behind anything I say, so there's that.

Sad commentary on the state of things, really... when one cannot even attempt to honestly engage, leaving past differences behind and starting from scratch.

In that regard, I consider myself fortunate that I'm able to do that in real life, and that mirrors my ability to do the same in a forum.

The fact that not everyone is capable/willing to do so in a forum is well....... very telling indeed. Forum authorities be damned.

What's presumptuous about telling you exactly what I think and my honest opinion ffs? You feel slighted by Fenster so you start a thread about him. Pretty sure I got a couple of those on my first week . You start a thread about being civil, then you go on about my my hey notice who is missing and garlic and vampires and such. You read into particular words or how you're addressed..again..and emojis ffs and lament how 'you two three' uncapable and unwilling of this that and the other. Come off the mount dude.

See literally can't keep up with multi replies but that's what I get for keeping the window open.

Isn't "I felt alluded to by Fenster calling my thread bait" more accurate than "I felt slighted by Fenster" (without the slightest provocation)?

Please note: My "notice who's missing post" came AFTER Fenster called my thread "bait." Why does that little detail go unnoticed in your rush to indict me on being on some kind of mount?

Splitting hairs to you maybe.... but while one guy can start multiple "truce" threads and nobody calls those bait... and yet my own attempt at being civil gets called bait and what.... I'm supposed to turn the other cheek?

As I've said, I'm waaaaay past trying to please anyone on this forum.

I come here to have fun, and it's not me engaging Miles in ream after ream of offensive, tirade-filled, insult-hurling invective thread after nauseating thread.

But it's me certainly warranting the attention of two of Saddo's finest.

No problem.

[walrus]

Hey spics I find you for the most part, reasonable. All of us are nuts. But why did you hold off on calling this bait until the other dude did. It’s been sitting here for a while, today it became the big bait thing
