Oh come on now! I was insulted repeatedly for nearly four straight pages, and threatened with violence, but it's my tone this person is complaining about?! That just doesn't wash.

Look at the posts immediately following yours in the thread and you'll see why I've taken a harsh tone with a couple of posters.

I'll leave it alone, but you're wrong for publicly singling me out as the problem here. That's not moderation, it's taking a side in the argument.
haha, you cant be serious? THAT is how you took that?
wow.

though, I guess I cant be surprised in this day and age of people being offended over ANYTHING.

seeing that from the outside, there was no threat TO you. though, as I read it YOU did threaten him. albeit it subtly...

This isn't the website for equity in the moderation. I preferred the unmoderated anarchy personally, but hey - some stranger who doesn't even post in off topic was offended or something so yeah?

We've covered this already. If it wasn't a threat, why would I need to be sleeping with a gun? :der:

Sure, shoot me your address I`ll make sure to pay you a visit to settle this argument.


Posting personal address in open forum-beyond stupid .

I hope you have good insurance and sleep with a gun.
Possible outcome? I`ll let you to come up with that one yourself.

I suggested sleeping with a gun AFTER you posted your home address in open forum. not before. :ybrick:
I offered to settle argument, perhaps over a drink:tea:, I don`t remember what I was thinking then.Certainly haven't threatened with violence. I`d suggest you ask for professional help.:loco:
 
"Southern Pride", so what was the biggest distinction between the south and the rest of America that made them so different?

we have covered it before. you failed to understand it then also.

that was because you put your address out there for the entire world to see. not because HE was going to do anything, but because any number of scumbags could. it was a general warning of security against other said scumbags.

yeh, screw loose is right...

I agree. I read it that way as well. That the danger of posting an address is what others could do. Not so much what someone in the thread may or may not do.

To me when someone says something to the effect of 'come and say that to my face' I interpret that as a threat as well. That's what started this whole thing of him posting his address.

you're right, I agree. which I addressed in my post above.
however, I think there may be some confusion as to WHO said that.

No, I'm pointing out stupidity when I see it.

Feel free to come down here and I'll do it in person.

Jeremy told victor to come to him, and he would do just that, and then gave up his address.

it seems as though you're defending the wrong person...

and it was followed by this:

Not to mention being preceded but a bunch of insults and a 'keyboard warrior' meme. Silly on both parts.

And I would also say that I wouldn't imply from the first quote that the person saying that merely wanted to meet up and discuss it over beers. There's definitely a distinct tone to that short statement. Agreed that there was fault on both ends.

Would seem to be beneficial to have an impartial moderator.

Can you teach me how to read someone`s tone over printed words on internet?:hail:

Check with 1engineer, I am sure he can give you some sound pointers as that was exactly what his post referenced (tone) with the threat to ban jeremyc74. You posted right after so I guess it's all relative to who is making posts you agree with, etc. See below:

Dude. I got a pm complaining about your posts. Back off or you are banned. Everyone else in this thread knows this but apparently you just joined this rabbit hole conversation. And as far as I know, this person who complained has not ever posted in off topic but was complaining of your "tone." I don't care if others do it and I have not been following this for several weeks. Clean it up. No excuses.

Then your post:

About damn time.

It seems pretty simple to me. The only reason you could justifiable give me to fly the Confederate flag is that you are from the South and proud of it. But why couldn't you just adopt a new Southern flag that represents that and only that?



So if the south adopted a new flag and the KKK and other hate groups adopted it as well would you have to change it again?

That seems like a good way to let hate groups win.
