so tell me - how are you supposed to take them? someone "perosnally insulting you" and you just laugh it off and stay happy? how come they can get away with it when you're NOT supposed to personally insult people?

in the end i'm not too far from you but i do wish he'd tone it down and give the respect he wants and try NOT to be a mediot mouthpiece to just say shocking things for reaction.

If I recall the thread that started this whole thing with DC, he didn't "personally" insult anyone. Yes, he made a comment about people on the board in general but not specific as to a poster. Then the usual lynch mob comes out in force and then cries to the mods when they get their feelings hurt or they feel they've been insulted. It's childish. This is not uncommon and I see it all the time; posters making veiled references to other posters based on their opinions (pro-Wade vs anti-Wade, pro-Jerry vs anti Jerry, etc.). Some people don't like his interpretations which follow his vids/links. That's fine, then just don't post in his links. But to tone down in order to return to a message board is BS and there's a lot of people who fit that description who bring a lot less to this board then DC. Jus my opinion.

well, trust me when i tell you he makes a "comment about people" and then laughs at you with a billion emotes, you know what he's doing.

we can either play the game or we can just ignore him (not easy to do) or just post less and let him chase people away.

it's been awhile since i've gotten my feelings hurt online. words on a screeen just don't do it much anymore. except from an "ex" and while i still miss her at times, the rest of the times i'm glad she's gone. : )

but if "toning it up" is what got him suspended, then yes - he needs to tone it down and follow the rules, like the rest of us, regardless of what else he brings to the table. if that's hard to do then it's up to him to determine if he wants to come on back.

he can't have a seperate set of rules for him just because he's active and has his own "radio" spot. hell, i've run my own radio station for a decade, can i start breaking the rules now? can i get special privlidges?

don't want 'em. if i can't follow the rules or treat people with the respect that i would like to have in return then I'M THE ONE who has the problem to fix.

not everyone else.

when he can give the respect he wants, most of his problems will go away. but as long as he "mike graneys" everyone who disagrees with him, you'll have tension in the air on every post.

Edit: nvm. This thread has run its course. Hos and Bach can take it up again in PMs.
