If someone offends you from a post. let me know. I will handle it. When you get pissed and start name calling in public and attacking the person in question and showing your ass you are no better than the original alledged troublemaker.
Then when a group of people starts showing their ass and name calling, there is no possible way that I can single out just one person. You have just given the person in question a pass for more time on this site. When you cross the line in response to someone who has crossed the line, you become part of a problem. This puts me in a very awkward position. I do what has to be fair for everyone. I cannot show favorites.
Name calling and personal attacks by anyone will be dealt with severely.
I will not put up this negative behavior and neither should any of you. We all should always take the high road on this website.
Also try to not to get too liquored up and type responses to people. This invariably always causes problems.
I and a handfull of people work very hard to make this site a haven of fun and information for ANYONE who wants to stay and play by the rules. Unfortunately like the real world there will be always someone on the board that you will not be able to stand. There will always be posts that will really piss someone off. Just ignore them. As I have stated so many times in the past, we do not have the luxury of facial expressions or voice inflection with internet communication. Please try to reserve full judgement about a person untill you have met them in person.
Here is an example of what I am talking about. A few years ago i had a run in with someone on the board over a controversy. After this I did not hold him in high regard. I was fortunate to attend a donzi event later where he was my host and realized what a fine person he was. I was totally wrong and regretted thinking of him the way I did.
For my sanity's sake, please try to take the high road.
