HERE IS MY STANCE, LET ME EXPLAIN IT FULLY TO YOU
?
That's silliness, man. The fact that you never took the time TO say otherwise--It's common sense to then take one of two things from that:
a) you don't think otherwise, otherwise you would have said so, so as to make your argument as clear as possible.
b) you're being purposefully obtuse in order to give yourself wiggle room later while line-by-lining.
And the line-by-line shit is so exhausting, really. You can communicate those thoughts JUST FINE without having to quote my ENTIRE post back at me. I can scroll up and read it if I need to.
The major disconnect seems to be that you think "Just venting" makes it understandable. My thing is that "just venting" is fine, but people here can do better than "just venting" in that manner. And just letting "a troll" stick around isn't helping, either. It's not like this place hasn't run em off before, either. there's typically pretty good quality control.
(cue joke about letting ME stay here being proof against it)
(cue quote of above parenthetical and snide one liner by MeBe re-wording above joke unironically)
(and you say I'm not familiar with the people here.)
I can agree with you about it being "just venting" and not be "twisting it into something else." there's no hidden motive, (especially not to "Stick up for" or "defend" MF.com. I don't own the site, and haven't visited there in quite a while, so there's no vested interest in "defending its honor" or whatever) because I try to lay everything out as clearly as possible. My argument is with the manner of the venting, not with the fact he's venting. There's cool, constructive, discussion-conducive ways to do it. that's all I'm arguing for. That you wanna write that off as "drama" with a condescending tone is a little unfair to the board.
not every time we talk has to be you acidly line-by-line clawing at me, man. It's happened before
At some point you forgot that there was this unfair image of me in your head that you read every post with, even the multiple times I've tried to extend an olive branch to you. I'm not even ATTACKING you, man. You react so weirdly DEFENSIVE whenever I post, I honestly don't get it. We can have a difference of opinion without us having to rip each others throats out (an action that's largely on YOUR end most times, not mine) I mean, to go so far as listing my (I think) pretty reasonable posts as something like "a vengeance crusade" is sort of ridiculous. Vengeance for what? Isn't "vengeance" a little overboard for something like this? What am I 'avenging?" Civil Discussion? And then to think my FEELINGS were hurt because of it? If you're as familiar with me as you think you are, you'd know it'd take a fair bit to actually HURT MY FEELINGS through a screen. It's gotta be something pretty personal to do that. Like clowning my mom or calling my brother an asshole or something. What you think you're doing and what you're actually doing aren't converging, man. Step back a little. I'm not ATTACKING you VENGEFULLY or whatever. I think if you re-read my posts with those blinders off, it'll come across more like Lance read it.
