In a recent post, you called a bunch of people jackasses. It's fine to disagree with people, but keep it civil, please. I'm trying to keep the tone of the forum more friendly, and I've banned most of the serious offenders. This is a warning to you that I think you're crossing the line.

STFU!

Off your meds again?

Posting the site owner's PMs... probably not the greatest idea. Especially when he was covering your Butt by taking it to PMs.

One might get the impression one is actually TRYING to be banned.
In some circles they view it as a badge of honor I guess.

I'd just like a little vote here. How many people thought I was warning him because he "spoke his mind", and how many thought I was warning him because he called others in the forum jackasses for speaking their minds?

Your premise is flawed once again, Comet. And I thought your response in PM was stronger grounds for being banned than this one. This one just came off kind of creepy.

Since our PM exchange is public record now, I'd like to make sure it's in proper context. You saw what I said to Comet. Here was his response:

"If it's such a waste of your life then ban me like you have banned everyone else who's talked up against you. You've already ran enough people away. Shove the game up your Butt. For someone who hasn't played twars before you certainly know how to crash something. Good luck.. LOL!"

To which I responded

"I don't have to ban you for you to stop coming here. Until you do something that warrants being banned, I won't do it. Just disagreeing with me has never been grounds for being banned. Ask Crosby, Promethius, Singularity, Big D, etc, etc. Disagreement is a fact of life here. Being disrespectful of other's opinions is not tolerated. If you can't see the difference, that's the problem.

I'm guessing that you're not going to take me up on my offer and tell me what exactly I've "crashed" so I can fix it? What have I done to take away your game that I can restore? Let me know. Otherwise, stop wasting my time. I have very little of it to give."

After which I guess he decided to make a more concerted effort to get banned. Make no mistake, you can get banned. But you're missing the target if you think disagreeing with me or attacking me is what it takes.
