Well, I should be the one you all should try to emulate.
I'm perfect. Just ask me.

It would be in your inbox like a flaming bag of dog crap on your porch on Halloween. You wouldn't even have to look for it, a big white screen telling you all about it would pop up and yell at you until you checked it.Where do you see if you have gotten any infractions again?
Dear Nobody,
You have received an infraction at BGObsession.com.

maybe there weren't enough milk cartons to put all of our faces on.Surprised, and somewhat disappointed by the folks who aren't missing today.

Just trying to gain an advantage for our Death Match, er um, FF game this weekend.Ya can't get rid of me that easy ya big lug.
I couldn't agree more. I also find it telling that the most vocal members like you, me, El, Lanky, etc. have lobbied multiple times for it to be shut down.My vote is to just close the thing down. We all have said time and time again that we would tone it down, monitor ourselves, and keep it civil. But the truth is none of us have. I am as guilty (if not more) than anyone else at it.
and thats not what this site is about. its not what we want it to be either.
I am going to do my best to be better than what the PA is. And if I am not, I want to be held accountable for it. Because this is a great ****ing site and it deserves great ****ing members.
Ex, I don't mean to be an asshole (I'm just gifted, I guess), but your post is a microcosm of the entire problem. You, yourself, have done exactly what you described so many times it's ridiculous. We don't realize, or take ownership, of what we do wrong, but we sure as hell will let someone else know IMMEDIATELY when they have effed up. That's the human nature part of it, and I don't know what the answer is, if there is an answer to it.
There is no difference between calling someone an asshole, implying they are an asshole, describing their behavior as something only an asshole would do, and using what one things is clever double talk wording to avoid looking like the bad guy. Where I'm different, is I call a spade a spade, I don't see the need to waste time and beat around the bush. I get the blowback I do, because I come right out and say it. If that makes me an asshole, add it to the list of things that make me an asshole, it's not like I'll lose sleep over it.
A perfect example - if I tell someone they said something that makes them look foolish, I get personally attacked for it, as there are several examples of. But certain members, which you are all surely aware of who, will tell you that if you disagree with what they're saying, even if they only provide their word as support for their stance, that it's just because you don't understand what you're talking about, or you don't comprehend how they worded it. But honestly, both ways of wording that are essentially calling the other person a dumbass. So why is one punishable and frowned upon, but not the other?
That was unintentional, seriously. I effed up, my bad.I'm glad we're all working all this out. However, let's not turn this into PA part Duex,
Ex, I'm having a hard time going from this paragraph:
Directly to this one:
Let's call a spade a spade. That was an indirect continuation of an argument in a thread that happens to be in PA and locked down at the moment. Please don't do that.
Thanks.
I'm sure, like most, I don't believe I have EVER thrown the 1st punch. But I'm a counterpunchin' fool. And, if they bring a knife, I pull a gun.Much easier to see when Ax is being a jackass than when I am.
