Yeah, you caused the entire thing to be closed down for a couple months.
Uuh, no, acutally, I don't recall that.

I do recall somebody got ahold of my phone number, and kept calling my house over and over agian, claiming to be you, and saying shit. But that turned out to be someone else whose not on this board anymore.

I don't remember the entire board being shut down because of that either. But I do recall the boards being shut down for a number of flame wars going on at the time. Including one I was involved in because somebody, in this case, Spazz, thought it would be hillarious to insult the death of my fiance'.

Also, I'd never claim that I'm going to go somewhere and kick someones ass, ever. I'm simply not that kind of person.

Also, I've never claimed to be innocent. But I sure as hell don't start shit.

Except for a few people, most of us get along surprisingly well here. I'd really hate to see that change, so hopefully, we can all ....working together is a lost cause, but at least bite our tongues towards the people we don't like. That's what I'm hoping to do.

I DIDN'T START SHIT HERE!

Jesus H. Christ people,

I only react when I defend myself.

That's been my stance since well before DDR was even in exhistance, let alone this board. And if any of you people acutally knew me in real life, you'd know that. But instead, everybody on here listens to a bunch of little high school fucktards who've never even met me.

I dare everyone to find a single place where I flamed someone without being insulted first.

I don't ever recall making the misfortune of your fiance's death into an hillarious and oh so juicy flame until just recently. In fact, I don't ever recall ever having the forums shut down... only time I've EVER had disciplinary action taken against me was when Rachael was throwing a hissy fit.

In the future, when you think about linking things to my name/user name, think twice. Because you're usually starting shit when you do.

I'm bored, so I'm gonna go ahead and do just that.

Well, other than the above post, you've also got this:

Oh damn. I know, it's kinda weak, but uh... I'm too tired to dig for more.

Now kindly shut the fuck up with your stupid, self-serving martyrism. kthnxbai

Of course you don't remember. It wouldn't be convinent for the sake of this argument.

Well, trust me. The forums where shut down for a number of reasons. Including about 3 flame wars, including the one you started, and some random spammer guy posting all kinds of bullshit.

I believe I had an adiquent amount of time to think about that one. Believe me, I'm not mistaken. You and Paul are the only two who would so emotionally immautre to insult the death of somebody else's loved one like that.

My above post was obviously a responce to GoR, that's why his post is quoted at the begining.

And obviously, that one you've started quoting was a responce to something Ebola Gay had said.

Call it whatever you want. I'm just sick of Ho letting asshole like you run the boards. That's why most of the people worth talking to and having around have left.

As the topic of this thread states:

Chill out people!

Seriously I teach 3 YOs every Friday and Saturday....amounting in total to about 30. They seem to argue a lot but something funny happens. They get tired of arguing with whomever and just moves across the room so they dont argue with them and then they just let it go. I can't believe some toddler can grasp a concept that 18+ YOs cant. Its pretty sad.

Personally, I would be exquisitely pissed if someone made a mockery of the death of my loved one as well. That's beyond immature, that's just plain cruel. That's not something you just 'ignore.' But that one doesn't involve me, so I'm not going to argue about it.

Why is flaming going in this thread? Seriously. Move on. Stop. Quit. Whatever makes you understand. Quit flaming and arguing, especially about the stupid stuff, or stay off the board. Like I said all of this can be handled better in a private manner. IM, PM, ect. Your personal arguments do not interest me, anyways. So, why don't we all have a cookie and move on?
Now for a smiley. :D

You know, running a website is a thankless task.

I've been in the position Ho was several times, where it just gets to be too much to deal with. Whatever you do, someone has a problem with it. You try to cater to people, and they blame you for it.

My approach is definately different than Ho's. I set the rules, and I expect them to be followed. If they aren't, then people get banned. It causes problems sometimes, having to be so heavy-handed. However, when people settle down they start to realize how nice it is to have a place to discuss things they're interested in that isn't filled with flames and spam and BS like nearly everywhere else.

Someone said of me "TG is really easy-going, except when it comes to business. TG's websites are their business." I think that's pretty accurate.

I'd rather have a website that I poured lots of time and effort into sitting there mostly unused than have it filled with people who cannot bring themselves to respect others. And it is about respect, whatever their arguments to the contrary are. If you respect others and treat them as equals, then you can haave some marvelous discussions. If you dont, you get flamewars and spam.

As has already been stated, the most effective and yet most difficult thing for someone to do is to ignore when they've been slighted and simply move on. The people without respect who continually post flamebait are trying to get attention by making people react to them. By jumping in on the flames, or even making posts saying "stop flaming" you're just giving them more of the attention they crave. Stop doing so, and they settle themselves down or wander off to a place they get that attention.

I'd like to say that I support Ho in trying to bring back the small community atmosphere IndyDDR used to have, and sticking through all the BS that comes with running a site. It's a tough thing to do.
