Originally posted by Sea of red View PostI guessed I learned that my efforts were in vain and to just not try anymore.
I'm as blunt with people as they are with me on this forum now. It's how I used to be before I joined this site and mellowed for a bit. But I went through some changes in real life and some other things happened on here that made me just say "forget this" and just lay it on the line. Your buddies do the exact same thing and you have no problem with it - in fact, you say it's within the rules. Why do you only speak-up when the other side does it? They are big boys and girls and if they don't like what they receive, then they should go back and critically examine some of their own posts.
Not everything is their fault, I'll admit, but it's not all my fault either. Your friends are not angels. I've made mistakes and tried to apologize to some people I've been unfair to - most on here never do that. But I've learned it doesn't go very far or make a difference. If other people aren't going to make an effort then I'm not going to either.
If that makes me a bad guy and you still see me as the sum of the problem, sorry to hear you feel that way. Request me to leave and if I'm such a problem.
I am not going to ask you to leave. I like you. I just don't like how you've been behaving, and I am challenging you to look at your own behaviour and at least make an attempt to change.
If you decide to leave, it will be your choice.

There's nothing wrong with being blunt. What is wrong is that every single post is a complaint about "the other side". Yes, many believers do the same thing. And yes, it is within the rules.
Most of the complaining you do is about staff, and we deal with staff behind the scenes fairly frequently.
You're right, none of us are angels. There is fault on both sides. But the mature thing to do is to get over it and move on, to behave as you would have others behave toward you, and at least make an attempt. I don't see that happening with you or your friends Jaecp and Jim and whomever else you tag team with .
I am not going to ask you to leave. I like you. I just don't like how you've been behaving, and I am challenging you to look at your own behaviour and at least make an attempt to change.
I've said my peace on this.

You've surrounded yourself with crazy people in your own Twilight Zone community on your island nation, and then think the rest of the world is crazy when you come to this forum.
You've never known a single person who's been beaten up? Seriously? Come on man.

Originally posted by Sea of red View PostI don't.
So what? Lots of conservatives on this site complain about liberals and atheists constantly, making thread after thread about their grievances with us. You don't have a problem with that. All I'm doing is taking advantage of the boundaries of the rules like some other posters, and it seems you only have a problem when I'm the one 'on the line' but not over it.
I don't think I've complained about the rules for awhile. It's your site and your property, so do what you want.
Tag team? Firstly, I'm not tag teaming anymore than the rest of the crowd that gangs up on a single nonchristian or liberal. I don't even know Jim or talk to him at all, so that's just a really weird belief on your part - I don't know where his name comes from.
I like you too. But I'm going to handle things my way. I feel like you're only seeing one side of things here, and you are not challenging any of your friends like you are doing to me here - at least not publicly. It would be one thing if you called each side out but just calling me out is really unfair.
I've said my peace on this.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostSea, I tried apologizing to you fairly recently, and it only sent you on another rage. There's plenty of blame to go around. And, as Carrik can attest, I fully admitted that I "play to my fan base" just like I accuse the liberals of doing. I said I needed to reign that in, and I am.
Thanks again.
