The only reason I am even keeping this up is that I think the newer person will get screwed.

That being said it is my opinion that does not matter in the scheme of things. It just matters that someone had the courage to voice It!

I concede.

When you quote people. Quote the whole comment. Donā€™t just pick and choose the words to your liking.

come on really? lets not pick on each other here. Skull is as important to me as you are to someone else here i am sure. This calling each other out is ridiculousā€¦ seriously guys.

Voicing an opinion is importantā€¦ name calling is pathetic. Discussions are vital or the forum wont serve all best

You can quit trying to goad me into a pecker hanging contest, it aint happening.

And ill say this, ive been around the interwebz since long before this one existed. One thing you learn about forums is that people come and go, the moderators and owners of said forums choose the direction in which it goes. So many times ive seen members try to put themselves in the driver seat, its never ever works out.

BTW, when i was asking questions about this place there were no badges, it was day one stuff as it was the first day of the forums.

One last thing to everyone. There are a LOT of changes coming.

not exactly , its a comparison to ease the situation i believe , for all the i dont cares out there seems to be a lot of caring , im on board for. whatever improves the site and if this could help one person then thats good , i dont see where it hurts ( except for maybe feelings ) which it shouldnt , seriously i think ELR is amazing but i think a lot of stuff need to be reeled in , just my opinion , i also think no matter what is suggested there will always be push back , and thats a shame because honestly we dont really have to be given the option to discuss this so a big kudos to the MODS ā€¦ i support our mods whatever they decide and i support daath with his choices and i do believe if the concerns started to come true over time things would change so whats the real problem ??? the word mentor ? the flask by the name ? this cant be that controversial

I agree. This isnt a battle. All we have ever asked for is a little civility, a modicum of decency. I aint sure why its such a hard thing to manage.

Please explain this to me?

You seem to be digging your on grave. Some of your outburst might have played into the decision to start enforcing the rules around here.

Thatā€™s the word.
Change.
Even for young whippersnappers, ā€˜changeā€™ is hard sometimes.

I called him no namesā€¦ I just pointed out a simple fact from his comment.

Now this is name calling!

@Ken_O_Where, please remove my badge as it wonā€™t make me or break me around here. In all seriousness please remove it.

Skull is a passionate person sticking up for the newer folks who may also have great insights and trying to avoid exactly the kind of arrogant pontificating that certain people canā€™t seem to refrain from.

Look, I get why this could be a good idea and I get why it makes people uneasy. Itā€™s really HARD to be a mod. Harder than most people can understand. Letā€™s just relax and see how this all works out.

Im not a fan of change either. But change is inevitable. I remember back when we all started here i told people to enjoy it while it lasted as change would come.

no you talked down to himā€¦ He is a person like you. Actually he is normally a much more helpful person to me and many others. He never acts elitist ā€¦ SO I am sorry I disagree

Its all in the words we choose. I can disagree with you pro and still be kind and respectful because that is who I AM as a person

yes it is tit for tartā€¦ you provoked when you should have chosen words calmly with your expertise and avoided it ;p

Yes, some change is good. Some change I feel is bad. We except the mods should be on even playing fields.

Skullblade, we have put up with this for far too long. You say this is your place, guess what? It isnt, im sorry to break it to you. The rules clearly state NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. It ends right here and right now.

I would have taken this to a PM but i dont see that being anymore civil.
