will you just stop, the best thing you can do now is logging off and waiting to see what happened, except what comes of this adam.


I AGREE THAT A "TIME OUT" IS IN ORDER UNTIL EVERYTHING IS SORTED OUT BY JAY.

I begin to see that Warbler was right about willing to leave... This forum has been too silly lately, in a way that makes me want to spend my spare time into some other insanity.

DAYV, I hope there are no hard feelings over this. It blew WAY out of proportion when it never should have.

Goodbye not good.

Wow, I hate that I pretty much missed out on what's going on here. I've read the HLF and boy toy threads, but whatever Adam said in Rankings is gone forever. And I suppose that's for the best. The best I can tell is that his constant harassment of HLF (which I admit was starting to get really annoying) finally caused a lot of people to go crazy. And he was starting to take it too far with the direct references to sex. Coming at it from an objective viewpoint (rather than an "I hate Adam, and he's being as ass, so let's get rid of him before it gets worse again," standpoint, nor is it coming from an anti-HLF sentiment either), I have seen HLF make many similar comments about males. To take both of them at their words, they're both just joking around. And while I admit that Adam definitely crossed the line, since HLF never directed any of her comments to any particular forum member as far as I've noticed, it still always seems to me that derogatory comments towards males are taken less seriously than those directed at females.

And I know it oftentimes seems like I stand up for AWK when his ass is in the fire. But that's simply because everyone's so accustomed to Adam doing something stupid, and also so ready to get a chance to kick him out again, that the mob mentality rushes forward as quickly as possible, so I feel the need to play devil's advocate. And if anyone remembers, I was pretty vocal about wanting to ban him the first time around. And I meant no disrespect to you either, HLF. But let's just try to play fair in terms of treating both genders with respect.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Hmm..

Gaffer raises some good points and it's nice to see some objectivity around here.

Having said that, Adam bugs the shit out of me.

Only time will tell what comes of this.

War does not make one great.

you have the reason adam should be banned right in your post gaffer, the fact that he directed his comments to a forum member, and those comments got outta hand. HLF on the other hand didnt do that. and i seem to recall this being adams second chance already.

Oh, believe me, I very much know what you mean, Shim. But since this does involve Adam, and because of the nature of the conflict, I am trying to look at this through all different kinds of filters. Like, for example, if someone other than Adam had done something like this, would it have been taken as seriously? Since, Adam, and I'm trying to put this as delicately as possible, often evokes the wrath of many other posters here and has had a track record of getting himself in trouble, especially in these kinds of situations, the effect might be more extreme towards him than towards others, where it might simply be taken as a joke. And I'm not saying that attitude is necessarily wrong, based on his track record. But to use as a counter-example, what if the situation had been reversed, and HLF had been saying those things to Adam (completely hypothetical, so please no one get offended)? HLF also has a reputation of posting things of a sexual nature, but they are generally perceived in a much more comedic and much more acceptable light than the stuff that Adam posts. And, once again, I'm not going into the specifics of those posts, I'm simply stating what it is. So I'm prone to think that if HLF had been doing it, then people might have simply dismissed it. This is just speculation.

And, my other point, like I said in my previous point, is that it seems to me that females can get away with this kind of stuff more easily than males can. If a female talks flirtatiously, then it's perfectly fine, but if a male acts the same way, it suddenly becomes harrassment. And I really don't think that's fair.

The point of this post (if there is any) is not to point fingers at any poster (particularly not Adam or HLF, both of whom I've used as examples), or even to spread any type of influence. These are just the things I've been forced to think about today, and I figured I'd post some musings. Maybe encourage some people to think a bit outside the box. Hopefully. And hopefully, you can wade through all my disclaimers and backpeddling (used to keep anyone from being offended) and actually find something worth reading in this!

Honestly, I found HLF's posts to be just as annoying, just in a different way than Adam's posts.
