No, I haven't. I don't chase people around the boards. That's for kids.

Whether you think i'm being dishonest or not you did not use the title Ob said you used.

There was no doubt that I was speaking as moderator. Don't play games.

I want you out as moderator. I'll continue to advocate for just that.

Sounds good.

Well you can count on me to point it out the next time you do it.

Okay, I went back and reread all the relevant threads. Actually I really did misunderstand your meaning, and no, I guess I didn't know what you meant. I'm sorry about that, but it really was honest.

Oh, and while I've criticized your debating style and methods, I don't think I've called you names. "A real piece of work" is, I think, crossing the line. Also, I didn't lecture you on your opinions, just the way you sometimes express them. I've said more than once I mostly agree with your opinions.

Yes I do that all the time.
Yes I have.
Yes I could, but based on our "discussion" today I don't think so.

Let's not forget that this started with me playing on a joke by Oberon, and your polite and gentle correction:

So it started with you kicking me, and being rude and insulting, so I don't think you have the moral high ground here.

Who says they won't start again? They're just sleeping....

It's getting out of control. Steve, August, Tak...Too many people involved here.

Just need to stop.

Right because trying to derail threads isn't being rude, but whatever Mr. Moderator. If I remain here then in the future I would appreciate it if you refrain from any non official contact with me. I can't put you on ignore like I can with Tribesman so as long as you wear that moderator badge I am not going to try and discern when you are joking and when you are being serious.

And by the way if you have really gone back and checked the exchange then you know that the communism post was in referral to Oberon and not you. That's twice now you have decided to get upset over something said to someone else.

Not really. Differences unresolved are differences escalated. Better to work it out if possible than let it fester.

Also screaming at the top of your lungs doesn't really help.

You really don't have to make personal digs like that. I wasn't trying to derail the thread, just respond to Oberon's joke. It wasn't your correction that bugged me, but the snarky way in which you said it. If you had just asked if we could keep in on topic I would have said I was sorry and it wouldn't happen again, and none of this would have happened.

If I remain here then in the future I would appreciate it if you refrain from any non official contact with me. I can't put you on ignore like I can with Tribesman so as long as you wear that moderator badge I am not going to try and discern when you are joking and when you are being serious.

I think in that case it was painfully obvious I wasn't being serious. But yes, if you want to hold onto your anger and hold grudges then I can accept that. But know that I don't think that way. My criticisms are honest if misguided, and I also give praise where I think it's due. I don't hate anyone, ever, and my dislikes change with the person involved. What you take as an attack I usually mean as an observation. While you're refusing to talk to me you might think about that. I suspect that you will instead be comfortable in your righteous anger and knowledge of your correctness in all things. That's fine, I'll honor your request.

And by the way if you have really gone back and checked the exchange then you know that the communism post was in referral to Oberon and not you. That's twice now you have decided to get upset over something said to someone else.

I did go back and check. You posted right after me. You didn't mention anyone by name. Therefore, it's not obvious at all. I thought you meant both of us. On the other hand I guess I should be relieved that you were being rude and condescending to Oberon and not me. That makes a huge difference.

And by 'escalated' you mean 'someone's going to invade Poland over this'.
