re: I would like to have a rational conversation with the Admins regarding this.

So if I stick around I'm trolling? Is that the new standard? I've been here longer than you, does my opinion not hold any weight? Or are you just looking for agreeable posters?

You and I have been banned 1 time each



Stick around and offer some real input......
Or just keep on trolling...whatever

And to contribute to your thread, the SECr just needs an admin that posts more often. Someone who is here to see how things go down and can remain unbiased when need be.

You did it thanks for actually contributing

But why did you take so many posts to get to it

And I've had only 1 pm before getting the ban.

I didn't compare myself to you, you brought it up. You asked the question. You trolled for a half dozen posts and then finally when asked to actually respond to the OP, you did.

I'm not nagging at you, you stopped by this thread voluntarily. You are a huge troll (and I don't mean that negatively, think "instigator")and you know it, but I've said it before in this thread, you and posters like you (intelligent, good mannered and civil) are not the problem. It is the group that reverts to flinging poo whenever their point can't be made and their lack of wisdom is revealed that chase off the good posters.

Intelligent banter and give and take good natured ribbing should be a welcome part of the rant.

And you can't make me mad at you, like I said before, I like you

I agree with all of that. And appreciate the compliments (?)

Yes, the flaming is a huge problem on this board. To be fair though, instigating is meant to get that out of someone. To see them resort to their worst. So when certain posters do that, they too shoulder some of the blame. It's like the older brother getting the little brother to cuss loud enough for mom to hear.

And I post on a lot of boards and have a lot of posts. I don't instigate in the manner that you think I do

And you're cool too homie

Not sure what this thread has devolved into, but just dropped in to say I've always felt there should be a text box to explain your RA.
Often times a series of posts needs to RA'd or a certain poster needs to be RA'd due to a pattern in their posting, but you know the admin is only going to read the one post that's been specifically RA'd and out of context or without knowledge of prior situations the one post doesn't look like much to the admin.

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

So the first thing needed is a consensus on the definition of trolling. What cas4t is doing is most certainly not trolling. A differing opinion is not a troll.

Ice can see the unedited posts fyi

I have literally not edited one post to make it seem any different. If any post is edited, it's because I misspelled something. I told you I wasn't trolling.
