The other poster.

I'm sorry but did I miss the part where it was Okay for a member to openly call me an arsehole? Have I somehow lost my right to respond to such criticism? I don't see you asking him to calm down and yet I never made a single post on this thread before his. BTW, you do know that DVD Hounds is a site that I started don't you?

all,why do you guys continually want to bitch about everything.

I read all of your comments on dvdhounds and am totally disgusted that you guys who i do believe were all reasonably social back around 2002 can be absolute arseholes now..............
Now if you want to tell somebody to calm down tell it to the person who started it.

And then you posted!
Quote:
You guys claim to be a mature bunch, so why not act as such and keep this petty feud to yourselves?
What do you call that line? Being nice and civil? Your post is condescending and just as inflammatory as anything on this thread. Isn't that a bit of the "Pot calling the Kettle black?"

Look, I'm not for flaming anyone here. If I came accross a little strong, then apologies, as that wasn't my intention.

Fair enough if you want to respond to andmerrs comment, however, I don't see why things needed to be readdressed in public..

Let's just laugh it off, and let you & andmerr sort your differences out in a less public manner, and go back to being our happy, helpful selves, eh?

you know sophocles, personally I don't like being called an arsehole either. in fact it's infuriating but I think if some of the members here should not have been encouraged to post a long time ago some fo them post some 500 posts a day and dont' help a soul in the meantime.

this leads to having a lot of addicts acting like ad is no the only thing they are addicted to.
hows that for calling the pot.
does any one remember when this forum's soul purpose was to "support" technical problems w/ the amount of baby sitting going on any more, it's hard to get that support.

however I seem to have no trouble getting annoyed any more. *sigh*

I'm sorry but I never saw the beginning of the thread, I came into the thread where you saw my first post.

If you feel that you have a need to ban me for what has been said by me then so be it, but remember where it started.

Well, I was off for a while and things apparently have gotten interesting. I didn't like being called an arsehole either. I let it drop at the time because I was hot about a lot of petty things going on, some actually being part a clique that has formed here at AD, and elsewhere, that likes to keep things stirred up. I didn't reaize the extent of the childish behavior till now. No longer can topics be discussed on merit of the material, but we have those who are disagreed with finding the need to protect their reps, or their acolytes doing so. Honest debate of what's right and wrong with a post has fallen to bias and favoritism.

As to the goings on at Hounds, the posts are still there and it was in part with senior staff from AD. Everyone was very civil and nothing bad or out of the way was said about anyone. No names spoke of in derogatory terms. All very civil and wanting things to get straightened out so the petty bickering here at AD will cease and things hopefully get back to what they're supposed to be, helping those that want help. Seems some of the staff like to let some get away with calling others arsehole and the like, and spreading rumors without acting, but let someone defend themself and they're guilty of a banning offense.

I realize I'm sometimes part of the problem, though often I have no intent of getting caught up in it. Too many people think they have to become involved in things that have nothing to do with them. Often they read things into statements they think are there instead of what's being said. There's a policy against jumping in and joining the fray. Piling on causes situations to escalate. Seems some member's followers cause more trouble than the member themself. My suggestion is that the staff look at things in an unbiased manner and tell both sides to cut out the shenanigans. I found it interesting that one group is called arsehole, but the person defending his name is threatened with being banned while the person who called the name is paid little or no attention.

LOL Got through that without mentioning one name. LOL

@Ireland and Arniebear
I've found little things in PCs where little hands could drop in little items. Metal keys on an amp circuit board have a tendency to fry things. Just my last experience with the little people. God bless the little fellows. I now try to child proof things with no open vents and no unattended visits to my computer room. I'm still finding things in other family member's PCs. Anymore I first check for child related problems before doing a regular check on a piece of equipment.

I checked here and at Hounds, no messages with your name on it. I monitor my email while I'm on and nothing came through, so I checked the accounts to make sure.

Finally got the PM. I wonder what took it so long. As for being banned at Hounds, that won't happen unless a person does something at Hounds that deserves it. We don't let things that happen on other forums effect the administration of Hounds. We don't ban members unless they flagrantly break the rules after having been warned.

I don't ban people easily, I think that you'll find your account still open. I prefer to build bridges, not tear them down. I suppose we all post things that we would like to retract using hindsight. The issue is dead.

andmerr check your inbox, take care not to rush a judgement in the future.

I still wonder about the "immature arseholish" nature you speak of and don't wonder if there is some other reason you would venture to take a poke @ us (unwarranted) I'm sure that alot of people reading/monitoring this thread right now know that it takes some work to maintain a forum and not something that anyone takes lightly.

*sigh*
