Edmund BlackAdder said:4-Phil refused to follow this sites posted rules. I will quote them here.
MartialTalk Rules, section 800, subsection 50, paragraph 6,000
We should be able to infect places on the same level those that screwed with you did
Blotan Hunka said:Not really, just responding to ideas being presented. In the long run, this site is privately owned and the owners can do whatever they want. I have no problem with that. I would just hate to see all conflict ruled out here, that would become boring to the extreme.
This sites rules are easily found by clicking the link at the top called, ironically, "rules".beau_safken said::fanboy: How many freaking books of rules are there here???? Paragraph 6000? :idunno:
Technopunk said:Beau... I gotta ask, what are you trying to accomplish here with this thread?
I read your little post over at PB (yeah, I am a member there too, have been for some time now) and saw your inclination to come back and infect Martial Talk:
I hope the Mods take GOOD note of that and keep a careful eye on your posts.
Phil's problems here had to do with his blatant disrespect for the forum staff. Stop trying to make him a martyr.beau_safken said:I just find it amazing how this MartialTalk turned on somebody like that. Granted there could be some better choices of words by a lot of people, myself included. Regardless, if one person's opinion no matter how different, strange, false, idiotic...its still an opinion. Just hit the ignore button and then you never have to see anything from that person again.
You might want to double-check your facts more carefully.On top of that, Phil also helped support this forum monetarily. It's just odd that someone who pays to help this place would get chased off.
Flying Crane said:Fair enough. I understand that I can present my thoughts, as well as can others. They are just my thoughts and opinions and it is the responsibility of others to decide for themselves whether or not to agree with me. That's the whole point of what an opinion is. I am not going to jam my opinion down anyone's throat. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to express that and I certainly won't get hostile for it, but I also expect any dissenters to not jam their dissent down my throat. If you disagree, do your best to convince me as I will do my best to convince you. But understand that much of what is being expressed here is opinion, and cannot be held up as absolute truth.
Blotan Hunka said:Understood. IMO () there are a number of others with similar attitudes and writing styles around here. I just think Phil was a larger and more prominent target than them. Granted he painted those targets on himself and of his own free will.
beau_safken said:Hell Here is a link my post over there, where I am tracking this one.

Edmund BlackAdder said:Mr. Safken is enjoying himself incredibly over there, basking in just how much of a troll he is being here.
In his own words:
"I'll post all the responses so you guys dont have to register. "
"No worries...I'll post the replies here so you don't have to go anywhere. I'll add them to this post "
"I guess I am a little trollish by doing this whole thing...but I don't care."
"Dear god...Im gonna need my flame suit for the onslaught that will be coming my way now.... Very Happy "
Phil is aware of the thread.
"Good grief, man. They're going to flame you a crispy brown for that.
Thanks, though."
That is the second post in the mess.
and of course, the intellect shines through with this comment: "I wouldn't be surprised if you get "disciplined" for posting it, to be honest. I'm sure there is a rule somewhere in their scores of pages of rules that covers it."
Yes Phil, there is. Its at the bottom of every page here. Hard to miss, as it's located right next to that big copyright statement. It's also in the rules in at least 2 places. See, when I get a vacation, I read more. :rofl:
Sorry Beau, I see this thread as little more than an angry, and childish attempt to further disrupt this site, and spit in the face ot its staff, rules and owner.
