you want an honest opinion to a thread that hasn't been taken seriously.
well..i know you don't but you'll get one anyway. lol.

perhaps the goodbye threads could be closed..if their done anywhere but offtopic...and maybe those who come back (and they always do apparently) should receiving a good trolling or even a small PCR (because what's the point of banning them..lol..i just don't see it..and perhaps that's the point of this thread).....

Aw, have I offended you sweetheart?

Does that mean you will now "Giancarlo" me, following me around trying to rile me?

Don't sing it, bring it!

Oh, BTW, since Reb closed the other thread WHILE I was replying to another of your little crybaby outbursts, I'll just have to put it here:

He sure was, and would have failed misarably, as would his new "hero', Spinky!

Reb, you shoulda left that open, Spinky, and now Red_Johhny continue to prove my contention about the boys accross the pond to a "t".

When their "civilized" argument gets shot to sh1t by me, and it was simple, as it was useless tripe, they attempted school girl fits!

Provost and a lot of you constantly attack Giancarlo any chance you get, you can't fool us boys, we pay attention.
He could write about a TV show he likes, and one of you will say "cause your gay", because you know he won't like it, then you rant and rave when he loses his cool and insults gay people, trying to hurt you like you hurt him.

Yeah, your all a bunch of great "humanitarians".

Phonies is more like it, and Spink showed his true colors yet again, by again asking that other posters (myself in this case) be banned, because his bullying and insulting had zero effect, so "Mr Tolerence" resorted to "mommy, mommy, the bad man from new york made me cry, get him for me!"

It's as transparent as your other trolls, Spink.

PH got exactly what he deserved, as you always do as well.

Perhaps you would like to insult Chicago or Macedonia, or perhaps Mexico, that seems to be the thing, get yourself made a fool of, and attempt to strike back at......places!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BTW, those who make "I'm leaving" threads are totally full of it, and AH, though joking, is actually trying to show you through humor how childish you are.

If Chris62 overreacts to Boddington's or your evil trolling, he will likely be banned, as he was once before with the an earlier incarnation of Boddington. Being now in ferocious prosecutor mode, I might has bagged him already, if such was my authority, but he will have to make about a dozen more offending posts to match your trolling, flaming & BS over the past couple of days. You have skated with remarkable mercy.

Spinky asked for it, and got it.

Truth is not an insult, boy, and you best get used to it.

You want to go around trying to bait people, and your surprised when they fight back?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now your emulating your new idol, asking for me to be banned because I feel (and rightly so) that the Brit posters of apolyton for the most part are unfit to moderate!

Read what they say, boy.
They are rarely impartial, many are cronic rules brakers and bad boys, though some are rip-roaring funny.

What bothers you is your not drawing the sypathy you thought you deserve, considering Gianni's remarks.

That is because we all saw what brought it on, you picked on him, and he fought back the only way he knows how, a wrong way, true, and he was punished for it, but this cronic bullying is out of hand, and they are stopping it here and now.

Men like Lefty and myself treat such people with contempt.

If you want to mature, learn from this.

Spink's way is the way to perpetual childhood, he's like the boy who steals and blames others, it's NEVER his fault, and, I'm sorry to say, PH is following this path. That BS about a "cause" doesn't fly, you all bait that kid far to much for any to believe your on the side of the angels.

I guess after this, you would like to make more insulting remarks about NY.

Feel free, we are a tough people, amd we don't ever give up.

And if I now say the same thing about New Yorkers that you just did aout Brits, I'll be banned.

Chris, you are sending a somewhat mixed message here, skating perilously close to, and sometimes over, a line (with a grey area wide enough on either side to allow discretion to bag or release you) while castigating someone in sight on the other side. Legal department affectionately recomends that you avoid "Britainizing" the actions of three individuals, even if THEY FIRST introduce the area with A. The Bristish pub culture defense, and B. The Middle Age Americans are prudes attack and diversion against the moderators. Extending further national custom/characteristic BS to a fight over international forum rules, even if to show up preceeding BS (which intention red_jon has not yet gloamed to) could lead to further disruption.

Have you considered having an un-moderated flamewar forum?

That way people can duke it out over there instead of dragging it into the real topics.

Wouldn't hurt anyone.

That has been raised before... But the owners have shown no interest. This is a gaming site first... not a place for people to come beat up on each other (however... lately... )

There are other sites already established for that very purpose.

I would urge the owners to reconsider, then.

After all, they get their pageviews out of it. If people don't want to participate in flamewars they can ignore the forum. The people who want serious discussions and deport the flamers to the flamewar forum and continue.

Does Greek logic differ substantially from mine? Apparently so.

Who loses with this?

If you think this site is all about page views...

And who loses... The Site Owners have limited resources for this site. In their minds (and I have to agree) this is a game fan site.
The OTF was set up remove non game issues from the on topic forums. They have shown no interest in allocating any more resources to non game things. Other sites have set up "flame war" forums... non of them got much traffic.
Plus, it has the potential to spread into other forums. Now you may respond... just ban people that do... but as you can see, whenever a restriction happens, disruption seems to follow

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Ming: It's a good thing the flamewar forums don't get very popular elsewhere. What it'd be used for is to remove the section of posts in threadjacks that evolve into flamewars, push them into the flamewar forum and let them get it out of the system. Otherwise it'll keep popping up in other threads (as we keep seeing) which eventually result in the Big Bad Moderators coming in and shrieking and yelling for sanity. At which point they take it to another thread, and eventually are banned. Then the same thing happens once they're unbanned, ad naseum.

I still think it's pretty stupid to say first that flamewar forums don't become popular, and then say something about how it'd waste resources. Whatever, maybe it's just me.

So a website about COMBAT MISSION is more ripe for flamewars than a CIVILIZATION site. Interesting Greek logic.

(Wonder why they're not a formidable empire )

Asher... I hear what you say... but...
Flame wars are not allowed here! Setting up a forum would only encourage it. Right now, the owners would prefer that the mods just enforce the rules they have established on their PRIVATE site.

And frankly, it is their right!
While we are all welcome to our opinions, it is their site!
