welcome back my friend. I turned in the offending member that called you a liar and became confrontational for no other reason than your return. BTW, you are the liar but the first words are "I do not read your posts", something wrong with this perhaps???
Here is the deal guys, and I like always, I am just going to be straight, honest, and open with you.
Currently due to the complaints from Magoo, Surveybob, Iceman, and a couple of others complaining that the NO insults rule is too restrictive and creating a boring liberal utopia this rule is being re-evaluated.
Specifically the sarcasm, cynicism, and goading is being evaluated and the post you mentioned Iceman would fall under this category as would all the posts you and Surveybob have been making to me lately filled with complaints about enforcing the no insults rule saying I was trying to create a liberal utopia and that people should not be so thin-skinned, boring, uninteresting, etc.etc.etc.
And the post you reported Iceman would not fall under the no name-calling. It would fall under the no insults rule.
So you can't have it both ways, if you dish it out you get it back, or nobody is allowed to dish it out.
The no name-calling rule is NOT under re-evaluation, but that would only apply if someone said Magoo you are a liar, or Barb you are a liar or whatever word was used.
So until I get a determination on the NO insults rule anything goes in that area so you guys have your fun, but where it stands now you can't say someone is something, but sarcasm, cynicism, and goading is allowed at least temporarily until I do get a determination on this.
One thing for sure it is not going to be one-sided anymore, either everyone who is being dissed regardless of whether they are Surveybob, Iceman, Magoo, or Barbara Jones, Jewdakris, Corky or whoever, joins in hatefulness if they wish to, OR NO ONE DOES.
Personally I can see the forums developing into a vicious bloodbath, and I would prefer that no one is allowed to Insult or to name-call, but that is not my decision to make.
I will let you know when the decision has been made what it is, and until then NO name-calling, but on the rest feel free to go for it and don't complain about having it given back to you.
