You are right in this instance regarding flames in threads. In the past, and according to the current rules, this thread could have easily been locked.
There certainly is, in the current application of those old rules, a far more liberal interpretation and application of those old rules.
Even though most of us are enjoying that relaxed approach to those old rules, you are clearly frustrated by the double standard that has created with regard to how posts, players, and posters where treated in the past versuses the present. Perhaps even to the point that those rules were applied to someone like you, resulting in a ban or such, and now I am not being punished by those same rules.
I can appreciate that. Double standards, in any form, on purpose or not, are unfair and untenable. I guess that's up to the site owner and his paid staff to address.
Here is what I don't appreciate and what angers me: you take my words and you twist their motivation. I didn't tell you to get out of the thread out of an argument over its value or your participation. It was a joke regarding another thread that you and I posted in. That's frustrating for me.
I'm sure, if you have faced bans and warnings and such from mods in the past and you are not having fun watching those old rules not being enforced on others.
I'm not having fun interacting with you. I interpret your message-board interactions as pedantic and purposefully irritating. That's my interpretation. So? I'm choosing to no longer address you. It's not demanded of me as a volunteer to interact with you. I come here to have fun and give a few hours of my time towards making the site more fun to others. You seem to me be having fun from the sidelines by pointing out the failings of other posters, those who volunteer, and those who run the site.
Knock yourself out.
Take care and be well.
Goodbye owenshooter,

sorry you can't handle being called out for being a hypocrite... and just because you became a team member over night, doesn't make you any less wrong that you were before you were a team member... however, glad you folded to me in a public thread where i literally called you out for your hypocrisy and flip flop stance within the very same thread...
kind of funny, i'm the same member/poster i have always been, but now you have an issue with it when the tables are turned and you are held accountable for your decrees as a member of the team. knock yourself out, i barely spoke to you before, i barely speak with you now, you are not hurting my feelings... and i find it funny that i quoted you, but somehow you did not say that... ok.. now, let me go on to further proving my point.

i hope you enjoy the irony of that well crafted response followed by an open flame in the GD by a member against another member. oh, the irony. the black jesus is always right...-Bj
