Rick is nothing like that anyway. He has an actual sense of humor and is usually sticking to the topic at hand. Sure, he's wrong about everything, but he does not hijack threads, and he does not get into 20-page name calling contests.
This is false just like your statement about not bitching about content. I can remember you popping up in NBA threads and bitching because the content was a lttle too serious and technical for your liking.
Even the WWII stuff was cool actually. It was simply guys disagreeing but it was trouble for you because you believed that it had no place in a thread about racism.
You know who attempted to actually screw it up? You guessed it funnyman Brick with his pestering about being a Nazi. That's not funny and its simply the typical way that he goes about something we can't add to content.
Whenever lacks knowledge on something he starts his petty game of trolling. When you don't have much or care much to add you start whining about content or direction of threads.
As far as JLN i never referred to him as a bigot til about a week ago. That is petty also and i tend to stay away from legal treatises as I'm not interested.
The fact still remains that you are the ringleader of the complaining brigade and most of it i think has to do with my belief that some topics are a little too serious and you prefer more light handed banter. Not everyone does though and its petty and childish to moan and groan simply because you aren't getting your way.
I've never quite gotten the 20 page complaint thread thing either. What does it really matter?
Some people aren't going to post much here anyway and for some reason their complaints about certain guys posting all the time seem to hold a helluva lot of sway.
Would you prefer a place where guys posted several times every couple of hrs?
Would it be best to simply leave the place bare so that all of the "good" posters could be free to read all of the stuff that they prefer? I don't think JLN, Me, McNown or anyone that does the whole "arguing" bit have ran anyone off this site. In fact i really stay out of General discussion stuff because much of it doesn't interest me.
Even the gun debate and school debate stuff flew by me and that is something that has effected me throughout my personal and professional life.
No less than 6 threads were started about that with guys presenting the same arguments pro and con in each one. I knew exactly what Ogie, Dark, FF, Brick, Nas, and others were going to say just about each and every time. No one's views "changed" either
Point being i didn't jump in to complain because people were making the same "tired" arguments. I'm wiling to bet that you didn't either.
Which illustrates the point i'm making. You are quite selective with your board policing tactics. I know when it will be forthcoming and its reserved for certain people each and every time. This makes it hollow and disingenuous for the most part.
