All the stuff about being a new member is pure semantics anyway, as it serves nobodies purpose for the main board to be full of people slagging each other off.

If people wanna get personal bring it in here out of the public eye. It's that understanding that's allowed the most ardent of opposing fans to co-exist successfully here for as long as I can remember.

Newbies, on the other hand, don't understand that...and the ones that persist don't last very long (legend30 anyone?). As regulars we do and we owe it to the other members (and to Saddo for that matter) to keep the tone of the board the same chilled, friendly place it's always been.

VD does constantly push it. I understand he has an abrasive 'style' and that's just his manner...but it doesn't mean it should be accepted.

These places are meant to be fun are they not?
That dude made the first personal attack. VD said fuck the hatton forum (which from what i've heard is a well founded statement apparently) and then he continued with a joke that somebody else made that had nothing to do with that poster. As i've said before, he could've pm'd somebody to keep it off the main board and he's been here since '05. He's the one that got all arrogant and got other people involved in the thread. Oh well this week will pass and that guy will eventually get 100 posts.
