Why? Put an end to popups!

Why was my "Pick on David" thread deleted? It wasn't really spam, and I obviously didn't mind getting flamed...

Did someone go overboard or something?

I'm sorry if you took it that way, I didn't mean for you to think that I was *****ing you out for posting your thoughts on Floyd or whatever. I thought that your reaction to GP was uncalled for, though--I was only trying to suggest that you either post your thoughts on Floyd in private, or else not get upset when somebody tries to give you helpful advice after you post them in public.

I did not intend for it to look like I was taking sides in all of this drama. Christ, how I hate drama.

loinburger: you might have asked me why i responded in such a manner. it's because GP always responds to me in the ill-informed manner that he does. and when i'm tired, it pisses me off.
yeah. i have felt that. i feel, honestly, like you and mr. fun are completely attacking without knowing all the facts.

That's fine, you might have told me that when I suggested that you take it elsewhere, rather than get upset over it. Rather than walk away mad, say "But GP's always doing this and I'm bloody sick of it."

I was sending my invectives more towards Logical Realist, who is the one who *****ed me out when I suggested that you either simmer down or take it elsewhere--I realize that you want to defend him, but don't take my annoyances with him to be my annoyances with you. Also, I had an unfortunate cross-posting with Mr. Fun, whose post was completely out of line.

Allies? There's such a thing as a forum ally? Christ, it's like I tried to switch on some cartoons and got Dawson's Creek instead.

loinburger: it didn't seem as though you were really replying to him at all. I walked away pissed because i didn't want to start a massive flame war being that i was massively pissed off at the lot of you already because you fired before you knew fact. When i get pissed to that caliber, it's often difficult for me to think clearly and know exactly what i need to say to diffuse the situation. It's kinda like when someone insults you and you think of a good comeback 20 minutes later..though at the time you're just spluttering.
david: I think LR explained things to you rather clearly. It's what you didn't do.

Which thread are we talking about, Floyd's or Sloww's?

In Floyd's the only thing I said to you was (paraphrasing, since the thread's deleted): "If you don't want people commenting on your dirty laundry, wouldn't it make sense not to air it in public?" I don't see how this is a personal attack on you.

In Sloww's I reiterated what I said on Floyd's thread, but added that Logical Realist *****ed me out for it, and rather than just call the drama your "dirty laundry" I called it your "bullshit" (since it was jacking another fun thread in a one-day period, and I hate drama when I'm looking for cartoons).

If you thought that calling this drama "bullshit" was a personal attack on you, then I'm sorry, and I'll try to avoid using such charged words the next time the drama bleeds over into a fun thread and I'm trying to get it to leave. But c'mon, if you and Bugs wanted to get pissed at somebody who was attacking you, then you both sure as hell picked an inappropriate target. Next time go after the people saying "DM is inferior" or whatever, not the people asking "Hey, why isn't this thread fun anymore?" If you're too angry to distinguish between the two, then don't post until you can.

Indeed, which is why my response to dm is in the form of a PM, as it should be...

Question asked, question answered, as Ming would say...I'd like this thread closed (but not deleted) before this bullshit goes further...
