Also, don't be a hypocrite. If I make an observation on what's going on, I'm gonna post it. Telling me that my post is not helpful is hypocritical, cast in that light.

So why do you think that it is my fault? I post in a controversial thread, on topic, usually taking a controversial position. All of a sudden I get flamed, bashed, and harassed by people who have NO wish to debate - and it's MY fault?

Cmon man.. you know better than that.

I admit, when i get flamed like that, I respond right back. But you need to put the blame on the person(s) who start the shit, not the people who defend themselves.

Part of the problem is that nobody is man enough to simply admit when they were wrong. Presonally i think everyone involved should apologize to each other. Maybe we can resolve this conflict with anyone getting banned?

And it's impossible for you to use the ignore feature? I really don't see what the issue is if you feel so victimized.

YOU'RE the one that should know better on that topic. The [i] is there for a reason, why don't you be the better person and use it? You really have no excuse.

Im sure this thread will only make things worst as it will encourage people to start pointing fingers.

I've admitted guilt several times. I've apologized for debating on subjects that were controversial. I've apologized for responding when I get flamed instead of ignoring it. I've done all that, and i've asked them to stop the harrasment and post normally.

Now im seeking help from Hamma and some other mods.

What more do you want me to do?

Fine then i'll point my finger first... I blame all involved party's cause nobody has even tried to stop it... they just keep arguing or reporting (and lets face it the reporting makes the situation worse)...

Mabye we can resolve this stupid pissing contest without involving the admins?

[EarlyDawn]

THE PROBLEM is that nobody here can go without the last word. So I say again:

EarlyDawn, how would you feel if you went into a thread, made a post, got into a debate, and all of a sudden 3-4 people ran in and started harrasing you for ZERO reason - just because they think it makes them cool.

Ignoring them isn't the solution - they will keep on flaming and harassing and ruining the atmosphere of PS-U.

The solution is for Hamma or another mod to issue warnings to EVERYONE (including me). First person who breaks it with a harrasment post gets a temp ban.

And they refuse to do that... pride or some such... I agree wholeheartedly tho... Ignore each other! So what if person 'X' some controversial bullshit... persons 'Y' and 'Z' don't have to jump on person 'X'...


And we're gonna talk through this like big boys, not running to Hamma or Ouro... it's possible... I know that everyone here has the capacity to talk through this stuff... hell its happened before... you just gotta give it a god damned try...

[Ouroboros]

Hrm, locked, no no, just kidding.

I do agree that in order for there to be so called "flame-wars" there needs to be two sides in the conflict. While everyone focuses their attention on Tek, maybe we are loosing track of the others that are fueling the fire? Some people that have been banned were banned for good reasons, they post nothing but constant negative and derogatory comments. While I do see this with Tek, it is usually after someone attacks him, either head on, or subversively. I ask, could we all just take a step back, breath deep breathes, and try, TRY, to settle this without any administrative actions being taken.

And I admit, when someone runs into a thread and screams at me in the largest font that I am a "Fucking retard! Stop posting you stupid shit!", that I respond.

I have tried asking Triggar, Dhark, and SDM to put me on ignore. They refuse. Furthermore, they insist on continuing to flame me in every thread.

I request, no, i BEG you to issue warnings to ALL of us - first person to make a harrasment post gets temp banned.

I guarantee it will solve all the problems. If not, i guarantee I won't be the person getting banned.
