I am still debating as to whether or not to ignore the one making personal insults against my wife here. Not sure if will work on someone with their status anyway. Does it only ignore regular members or does it also block out those with the colored names? Nm, I'll test it to see. No, it doesnt. I'll just have to keep seeing them.
Careful.
You're going to get caught in a lie.
EVIL INC wrote:Actually, that would be good. Could you please close the thread? :roll:
This was posted in direct response to my warning that the thread would be locked if arguing got rampant. This, it looks as if you're rolling your eyes at ME.
If you were not, you should STRONGLY reconsider your ability to communicate via forum posts.
No need to forgive HIM for any mistake.

Now, by looking in the THREADS, the only person who made any spleen commentary was ME. Is it ME you want to ignore?
If that's the case, I can definitely make it so that you don't have to see anything from me... or from anyone else. You see, if it's ME you're accusing of disrespecting your wife, you're mistaken or lying, as the "spleen" comment was made prior to any post you made that your wife had her spleen removed. No comments about it were made by me after.
If, on the other hand, you have some other staff member saying ANYTHING about your wife via PM, please post the PM here, and I will deal with them accordingly.

If you cannot post the proof, then shut up about it.

Lastly... this is your LAST warning to remove the attempted image post from your sig line, as per previous warnings.

I dont lie.
He is forgiven for his mistake. He mistook my post plain as that. That is ok though, looking at it, I can see how someone could have mistaken as being directed at the admin even though it was directed at the ones the admin was talking to.
My wife's medical condition is no laughing matter. If you were not referring to her with the insult, I apologize to you.
What gif are you talking about? I have none in my signature. I removed a link I had earlier (but removed after you first mention of gifs, any other mention of gifs were made after the link's removal) but I had no pictures in there, just the link I removed already in case that was what you were talking about.
Thank you for the help.

Thank you for your concern though. Do you have anything to add to the topic we are discussing? If not, that is ok, was just curious.

The first emboldened quote is directly opposite of what you did with the second emboldened one.
Passive aggressive is still aggressive.


@all (and I mean ALL)
If we don't play nice, people, Big Ol' Mean Uncle Eric's gonna shut down the thread (and maybe an account or 2 for a couple weeks to boot).

Which you replied with this:
EVIL INC wrote:Actually, that would be good. Could you please close the thread? :roll:
That is a sarcastic and disrespectful post towards the previous poster, who is a staff member, and thus you are disrespecting a staff member.
EVIL INC wrote:You may indeed feel that the use of a smiley in a post is disrespectfull. If using them are, I will gladly not do so. Especially in the case as the one you quoted where it does not refer to any staff members.
Thank you for the information on the topic. The one I was referring to originally has cleaned up their act it seems so no need to ignore them (unless of course they restart). Am deciding on whether or not to ignore the person who made insulting posts towards my wife because she had her spleen removed.
It's not using smilies in a post, it's HOW you use them.

Yes, it is obvious that you disrespected a staff member. I didn't read it wrong, and thus I don't need your forgiveness. As if I would need forgiveness from you. :roll:

See how that works? I used a smiley after a sentence to show my contempt and disrespect for you! My aren't smilies (or emoticons for you tech savvy people) useful for displaying emotion?

Forgiveness not needed as a stated earlier in this post. If two people see you post as disrespectful, then it is disrespectful. PERIOD.

Does that pic come in "fat man sitting in front of computer in a bean bag chair, wearing nothing but underwear, eating cheetos" color scheme?

You left out the "basement dwelling at mom's house" part... but yes.

A bean bag office chair would SOOOOO rock. Seriously! I'm sitting on an old not-fit-for-waterboarding office chair.

Ironhide according to the posts, and the text within them, the smiley was clearly directed at the people MM was talking about. I can understand how it could have been mistaken though so there are no hard feelings. I already know your hatred towards me so in your example, it is obvious that it is directed towards me That is a totally different situation from the post I made. Especially as I hold all of the administration here in very high esteem. There is no reason for me to even want to aim it at them.
As I said, the post was misinterpreted. If it was misinterpreted to mean disrespect, that does not make it disrespectful, it means the impression given was of that. It does not affect the original intent and purpose of it. As I said, I apologize for putting it in such a way for it to have been misinterpreted.
I like the roll picture. there has been a lot of that going around. Lets hope it stops.
Scarey image of fat man in bean bag chair (sarcasm alert) thanks so much for that mental picture. You just reminded me of the freaky guy in Gamer. Scary to think of a few of him here. Now I will see that when I see their names. Thanx a lot. lol

Your home video loads very slowly. I gave up after seeing you dance and just closed the page as it froze up. Thank you for sharing.
