There is no reason to have them at all. To allow brick due to your blackmail is bullshit. Man up for the new year.

Whatever this idiot happens to be talking about do me one favor. Whatever it is do not pass it off by dismissing it simply as "the alcohol". He is a certified waste of time that gets a pass simply he has gone out for drinks with people on here and as such they can vouche for him being a "good guy".

The mere fact that this goof is constantly zoning in on me (a guy that really can give two shits about him) and not some of the people who set out to make this an unbearable place to be says a lot. A whole lot.

Nah. It's probably just simply the alcohol. Although I don't think I've ever had drinks with PittMike, I'm sure PittMike is a good guy.
He gets a pass from me, and MANY others. PittMike will be fine.

The non stop complaining isn't good though. Its all he does. If it isn't the tenor of threads then its the thread in of itself. Posters, posts, Board administration and now the banning of suspected mults and guys that troll. For the love of god give it a damn rest.

If he wants to make this a "better place" then he should do his best in helping to facilitate the process. Does he ever start threads? If so how often and for what purpose?

Mosts of his posts involve some sort of complaint. As far as good guys go I think there are MANY that fit the description. It shouldn't excuse bullshit nor should it excuse one's consistently being a dickhead.

Your perception of him may not involve socializing but there is no doubt that socialization effects the way people on here interact with one another.

People complain about the same guys disagreeing all the time but the primary reason that it happens is because the "outings" guys are loathe to disagree with one another. Even if they disagree about something rare is the chance that it will be expressed on here.

It effects the way people express themselves and hence you get disingenuous exchanges for the most part. It also leads to the ostracizing of certain i.e. guys that aren't in the circle. Certain dudes on here try and exploit this by doing exactly what this dude is doing right now. They know that there won't be much pushback because after all they are "good guys" that others happened to have had drinks with at some point. Its bullshit.

I think the Christmas spirit was fully in Mike at midnight.

My new years resolution is to stop mistreating pittmike.

Yes yes, I know. Posters get drunk and hop on the board out of nowhere starting threads to ban me, but I’m the bad guy. Such is life

I blame ambien and political thread triggers.

Sounds like the honeymoon is over.

Actually it was fine. Just ran out of sobriety just before bed. Sometimes you gotta leave the phone down.
