    hello,

    WTF just happened? or more properly did we just witness our first SBAF pissing contest?

    i for one, think we CAN agree to disagree and not take shit too personally, but i could be wrong.

    A few days, and someone already wants to take their ball and go home. If he didn't like the vibe in Changstar, what made him think that this place would be any different? [​IMG]

    We've been saying we're going to do things differently. That's on us.

    It was Claritas who invited me, saying it was going to be different. I'm sure he believed that it would. But now I think he realizes he had the wool pulled over his eyes. This is just another Changstar backwater, and was proven amply so. It is a small place run by small people and will always remain an insignificant backwater.

    I just asked for my thread to be deleted. Next thing I know I've got OJneg flinging shit like a zoo monkey on crack. This place is a joke, just as Changstar was.

    How many forums have told you to f**k off at this point? You ever look for the problem in the mirror instead?

    Steve, I didn't know you, but it seems you've done this before, when you got like one negative brownie point and wanted everybody to bend to your will. Come on mate, stop it. It is not mature.

    The problem has always been those with a bigoted intolerance of anyone who doesn't agree with them.

    What's wrong with being an insignificant backwater?

    And for the record, Marv's taller than Jude.

    Do you realize the irony of that is you've become on of those you hate?

    Not mature? All I did was simply ask that my thread be deleted if it was going to be removed from the context in which I posted it. Is that so much to ask that anyone has to completely lose their shit over it? I started the thread. Not like I was asking for someone else's thread to be deleted. So what exactly is "mature" about anyone losing their shit over something as insignificant to them as my asking that my own thread be deleted?

    Who exactly did I insult before the insults were hurled at me? Show me and I will apologize to them.

    This been a fine example the kind of thing we don't want on SBAF. Frankly, this thread should be locked.

    While I don't agree with OJ's (and others) tone and Tak can be bit brash at times, Steve, this kind of behavior isn't helping.

    We'd like a place where it's open and fun to communicate, not a place where someone is going to take a dump on everyone and everything we enjoy just because his bad dad joke fell flat.

    If you want to be part of that audio discussion and contribute and not contaminate, apologize, unruffle feathers and let's move on. But let's quit with the arguing and the name calling and the short jokes. Marv is way taller than Jude.

    Be the change you want to see on SBAF, bring the good of Changstar here and don't be the dud that brings the negativity of Changstar back.
