You quoted my post and called it tripe and poppycock. I take that as an insult.

Thank you for that assessment.

You think this is a joke?

When the admin of a forum tells you that he is personally insulted by something you said and asks you for a retraction, how can that not be taken seriously?

Well let me relieve you of all doubt. I am being very serious.

Crumbs and crackers. After everything personal that has been said about various individuals from Team 22Cans (Aynen, Muir, Matthew, George, Sam, Collin, Simon, PM, and various the other studio gophers), the mod of the of the your-opinion-will-not-be-censored board is taking exception to someone saying a post of his is "poppycock" and threatening the banhammer.

What happened to this place?

I'm gonna say this one final time. I did not say that no one should post negative stuff. I think I was very clear in what I said earlier in the thread and I said it several times. I don't see how anyone who actually takes the time to properly read those post could possibly misunderstand the meaning of it.

It's a whole different matter when someone insults the admin of the forum and then when called out on it acts as if it is the most natural thing in the world. Especially after it should have been pretty clear how serious I was in the earlier posts in this thread. At some point a line needs to be drawn.

Rest assured. You can trust me, I hope? We do understand your points and we do respect your view. We just strongly disagree with it since you yourself understand what the conversation drift is.

And well, let me tell one thing that'll help you understand us and calm down: The main reason Carl Gustav Jung rejected Freud's free associations was because all free associations led to the complexes he already knew about and was working on.

So people always tend to think and speak about most important things related to the current topic and that's why all the threads lead to the same old thing. Just because it is there, never going away and always directly relevant.

That's just human nature. It's okay. It's supposed to be that.

And, as I said, there is no relation between us and 22Cons, so you can just let go of this problem 'cause we have no power over it just like you normal people have no power over weather. And that's the precise point that I believe is where you was mistaken and I must tell you that you were sorely mistaken. I know your intentions are good. I know it hurt to be called poppycock teller (I didn't even know the word and got the meaning from context). And that's why I must tell you that his intention wasn't to insult you, it was an expression of disagreement, just like my post which was even more offensive from the tone.

I really hope that it did make you feel better. If not, please ban me, too, as I share his viewpoint.

Personally, from what I've seen, debating the issue isn't really the point. This isn't about fairness between the community and 22Cans, or justice, or water under the bridge, or any of that.
The person who made this place has expressed that it has turned into something that he doesn't like. And the response was to argue that the change was justified, completely ignoring how Ba'al feels.
Ba'al isn't 22Cans, he hasn't sold you anything, and doesn't owe you anything. But you're on his turf. Any argument that boils down to 'I'm right to be doing this thing that you don't like' becomes moot. Maybe not to you personally, but in terms of what Ba'al wants this place to be, it is moot.

Way I see it, I'm a guest on Ba'al's site. And if he wants me to behave a certain way, that's his perogative. Regardless of fairness, or history, or logic, or what-have-you.
