Regardless of it being half serious or not, this is the internet. How am I supposed to know if it's half serious or not? Even if it was, that still does not make it the right way to handle this situation.
'hits with a newspaper again' Stop it. It's called a joke.
I've already stated it needs to be taken to PM and so has Perfect. (Not to mention, I'm sure the hundreds that have read this thread since then have been thinking the same thing.) Repeating what's already been said just to prolong the issue from which we've already tried to move on from, so you can agree with his false accusations is not helping the issue. That one post with the one word "LOL" really has no relevance to this discussion at all. You wont find many more of those types of posts so that still doesn't constitute bringing that issue up here. I even admitted that there may be a couple of those types of posts. Which we are all guilty of. Also, it was funny to me because they created the avatar for them and asked not to direct link it and they did just that. If you read the context of that thread, you would have known that. Then again, funny is all in the eye of the reader. If he or anyone else has a problem with it, it should have been addressed at that time. Not used a week and a half later when it was convenient for him to try to openly humiliate me on the forums.
You said it should be taken to pm after someone else did, it isn't exactly like you suggested it. And of course, despite claiming you've said it, you obviously still aren't. And it has relevance in the sense of you were telling me I wasn't posting the way I apparently should. I was pointing out that if I'm not, you certainly aren't either. Which was quite relevant in my view, and apparently in Rach's view as well. As for humiliating you... wasn't really the point. I was pointing out an example of you doing what you suggested I was doing (not posting properly.)
He knew he was wrong. Instead of completely admitting it like he did at the bottom of that post, he tried to turn the tables on me at the beginning of the post and use irrelevant information such as a 1 word post and a couple YT links to make a nugatory point. Which had absolutely no effect and made him look bad in the process.
I was wrong... how?
Again, if you or anyone else would like to continue this discussion, please do so in PM. This really looks bad on the forums when the staff acts this way towards their members.
Which is odd, you are once again calling for it to be taken to PM, but the entire post you made is clearly meant to try and have the last word of it in public.
Just a reminder: In my initial post to Marc I said I appreciated his response. There was really no reason to act that way.
Wasn't a matter of me being appreciated, as Rach said, it was a matter of making sure the information being given out was proper.
Also, if you are going to mass PM people, get it right. I don't act ignorant, I act like a jerk, or if you prefer, an ass (when I feel it's warranted.)
