okay abrannan i know you told me not to do this but sorry i apologize havix and everyone else. just please lay off and i'l be friendly,problem solved! I know I am going to regret this, but how can you be friendly when people have not ever REALLY said anything about this? People have overlooked some of the things you have said and went along with their lives.... Ok I am going to stop trying to explain it to you, I dont think it will help. |

To clarify (now that I've had some time to clear my head):
Havix, I'm not asking you to let everything slide, but there's a point of diminishing returns. When I come to the board and it seems that every thread has become a BMW (That's b***h, whine and moan) session about ryanddrfreak, it gets old real fast. All that comes from it is that ryan gets defensive and starts resorting to childish replies. Which gets more BMW-ing, which gets more replies, etc. ad nauseaum. It becomes a feedback loop, rising to a screech that drowns out all of the other activity on the board. Let's just please try and keep it contained a little bit. Send all the PMs you want to each other, that's fine. Heck, send me PMs if you want to gripe about another member, and I'll act as a middle man for the conversation if you feel it's not going to be handled well between just the two of you.
Ryanddrfreak, first off, I do want to thank you for at least seeming to make an attempt at staying on topic more. Your spelling is still a bit rough, but it's improved as well. I'm not saying you're blameless in all of this, or that you don't have any more room to improve, but I do want you to know that I've noticed you putting a little bit more effort into your posts. Unfortunately, you've dug yourself a pretty big hole in other people's eyes, and they're going to be harsh on you for a while. Be the bigger person, take their complaints and look for ways to improve yourself out of it. Work on your punctuation a bit more, too. It does wonders for helping to set the tone of your writing, and helps others read your messages as you intended them. Otherwise you run the risk (and it has happened) of people reading your messages like you're being a snide little jerk, and clearly they're going to react to that. Your apologies could use a little work too, but I'm not going to push it right now.
To everyone else: I'd like to apologize for losing my temper earlier. It's my job to stay above all of the squabbles on the board, and get things resolved quickly, and I didn't do that. Instead I resorted to some sort of "You kids quiet down back there or so help me I'll turn this car around and nobody will get to go to Disney World" and "disagree with me and I'll ban your a**" mentality, and that's not right.

I just hope we all can learn a few things from this issue and possible become better friends in the future. This will take much work, but I am sure we can put this issue behind us, maybe not immediately, but in the near future.
And I am about to finish the rough draft of the paper, and as soon as I crank out the final copy, I will post it here.

Aww, abrannan . . . you're not even a daddy yet and you've already mastered the art of the autocratic "do what I say or else."  Everyone is entitled to bad days . . . even mods. Looking forward to seeing the paper, havix! UJKitten |
