I've put Hemi on notice that any further confrontations/disruptive behavior that he initiates will result in his removal from the forum. In kind, I would appreciate it if he wasn't baited so that he feels the need to defend himself.

Where's the big arrow pointing at me?

Nowhere.

Why?

Because 10 of us have this guy on ignore.

I never bait him, I just tend to be punchier around him.

Pretend you never met me from this point on and treat any posts as you would of any new member that you have no problem with. No preconceived notions and giving the posted the benefit of the doubt.

I'm in no way innocent here and Saint is not defending me, he is just leveling the field as it seems to be a bit steep at this time and the forum is suffering because of it. In other words, don't bait me and I won't bother you.

It seems I have lost the ability to edit my posts as to make sure I do not make any nasty posts and then try to edit it. I didn't realize it when I quoted myself and thought I edited my post.  :)

Wait, so does that mean I can't start another controversial "I heart my Honda" thread?  Would that be baiting?  ::)

I didn't ask him to do this if that's what you meant.

I did my share of nastiness, but it did get to a point where I would just post in threads and catch hell for nothing at times and that needed to stop.

Lets just move on.

I fail to see what there is to be jealous about. This not exactly the best circumstances to get your name mentioned and just the fact than my name is in a thread started by Saint means absolutely nothing other than the fact that he is concerned about his forum and this members.

Indeed. No apology means no understanding of the situation.

To be honest, your attitude in this thread doesn't really show that you realize you did something wrong. You sound more like a kid who's upset that he got send to his room. Instead of realizing that he never should have acted in the way that got him sent to his room in the first place.

One last thing.

Remember this from shmoke's "My cab" thread?


I don't mean to be rude, but I think that you're full of ---Cleveland steamer---


That seems like a comment I would have gotten banned for, but I guess you've been here too long for the rules to apply to you. I actually don't mind this sort of talk since we are all adults, but I have to expect that when I say something somewhat questionable for it to be overlooked as well.



No matter how he wants to sugar coat it by saying "he doesn't want to be rude" that doesn't make it any less rude or any more appropriate.


This was within 5 posts of me being here and I said had a grand total of five words at that point. If anyone set the example of how to act here, it was most of you. All I wanted was the same rules to apply to me and that never happened.

Closer to your 49th post.  You can go into your profile (or anyone's), click on "Show the last posts of this person.", and scroll back (forward).  FYI.

The full quote was:


If you know how to talk to people properly and they have a saw and something to measure with, then yes.


I don't mean to be rude, but I think that you're full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and have never done this.  I mean, I'm sure it's possible if you're at a Home Depot in a small town and happen to be talking to someone who actually knows what he's doing (I suspect that the average Home Depot employee is no better at cutting squares than I am), you might be able to talk your way into something like this.  But I think 99% of the time, no matter how smooth or sweet you are, you are not going to get someone to cut out all your panels for you all perfectly square-like.

Maybe I'm just cynical . . .

So he doesn't just plain say that you were full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, but that you were most likely lying about being able to make home depot employees do your bidding.

Seriously, you haven't learned a thing. You really need to understand that it's not just a single word, but the whole content of the posts.

This is where you started to really piss people off.

A list of the 15 most valuable arcade games in existence

I'm not pleased with that list, those games may be the hardest to find because they are so old, but I think a few are not the best games to play. In this list should be a mix of good games and hard to find games in the same game.

What is the point in having a bad rare game if you won't use it. Just my take on this.


Next time, PM me my opinion and I will copy and paste what you want me to say. Fair enough? I'm not downing the guy, just a few games he picked. There is no need to take it personal.

I don't like the list, what can I tell you.
I know it's supposed to be "most valuable games". But it was a list made by a person, just like me or just like you. I could have made a list like that and valued games at prices too. I would have had rare expensive games that were ALSO great games to play in my list. He chose his games, fine, not my cup of tea, but fine.

I guess what matters is you would value his list as law because it is posted on a site and I am only here talking about it.

It's that last line there that really set you apart from the rest of us.

And this is how that whole Shmokes argument started, because of this dumb comment you made:

If you seem to have a problem making straight cuts, at least measure it (if you're confident in your measuring) and take the measurements to Lowes or Home Depot and have them cut it all for you. I would imagine they would be able to get it straight for you.

He's stated in the past that he's not going to apologize to Saint because he feels Saint is the one that wronged him.

Regardless, Saint still asked that we give him a second chance, so instead of dwelling on how this kid annoyed so many people so quickly, lets honor Saint's wishes and let the past remain in the past.

You just said you agree with Shmokes in destroying the guys TV but then said you do not agree with me saying I would do something like this?  :dizzy:

The difference is that while I will think about it...I'll not go through with it.  I'll want to...but I won't.
Good save. Some of the ignorant might actually buy that.

Just another example of you treating an established member like crap, and acting like the rest of us "ignorant" folk ain't got dem brains enuff too figger stuff out for arselfs.

Yeah, I'm done digging through his posts. If the kid would just apologize (or hey, even better, leave), I'd be less apt to ---fudgesicle--- with him.

The kid got his second chance and look how is he is acting here? He's still acting like an annoying spoiled brat and thus he gets called out on it.

Then I began to tell him, if you want to talk that way to me or others, that's ok, just don't ---smurfette--- when I come at you that way, but of course he and you all still couldn't deal with when I made a perfect example really early in my days here and expected the same treatment I got.

What's wrong with that comment? I gave him some advice since he said he couldn't cut very well. Then he tells me I'm full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!  :dizzy:

I guess that's ok with all of you unless I was the one who said it.

First off, I'm not a kid or a child, or whatever you want to say. Secondly, you're still coming here and disobeying the forum owner by instigating at any chance you get. I'm not being called out on anything, you keep coming here looking to pick fights.

People are going to say things on the forum that you do not like, so what. I don't follow you around and criticise every post you make, and believe me, I could. Forums are to talk about many issues and if you don't like my opinion on things, don't read it or ignore me, but that does not give you the right to play god and tell me what is and isn't ok and think I need to be removed because of it. Some of you, I swear think who the hell you are. Everyone here has the right to tell me exactly what they think of me, but as soon as I say something that has anything to do with you, then I'm a troll or a child, it's just really idiotic how your rules work.

Remarkably, I actually agree with Hemi in the thread where he posted with Shmokes but only to an extent.  It's a fact that you can have someone at HD or Lowes cut your wood for you.  However, I don't think that Shmokes understood what exactly Hemi was telling him.  Regardless, shmokes' reply was borderline.   Like most things, if either would have phrased things differently, this may not have happened.  Shmokes has a fairly positive reputation here while Hemi doesn't.  That certainly didn't work in his favor.

However, Hemi you have come across poorly at times and you have to take responsibility for it.  I pointed out to you in the console thread that you come across with an attitude and that does not sit well with people here.  This really is one of the most helpful, least confrontational forums you can find.  It's not very often that the mods or admin steps in to control people.  I think you are behind the proverbial 8 ball because of whats happened in the past.  Yes, people didn't make it easy for you, myself included.  However, you have refused to listen when people have tried to help you.  It's quite rare that this many users have an issue with one person here.

Yet, Saint and you have come to a resolution here regarding what's happened in the past and where your future here lies (lays? I can't ever remember the proper usage!).  This is a very close knit community in the sense that a lot of people are not only on good terms on the forum but know each other in real life (which Cheffo has trademarked, FYI).  I had a complete stranger come to my house a few years ago to see my cabinet.  We had some beers and had a good time playing.  I had no qualms about having him over as he was a member here.  That's all I knew about him.  I also was the recipient of free cabinet and 33" Mitsubishi monitor by a member here.  It's only natural that when we, as a community, think you've acted poorly to the man in charge, that you are asked if you apologize.  It's up to you and Saint to answer that or not.  If you chose not to, which is your right, understand that people will continue to be cynical as long as you continue to antagonize people regardless of if you were baited or not. 

I am more than willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you are a contributing member here for a long time.  I strongly suggest that you take the high road and NOT respond to anyone else as it pertains to this situation.   Unless you say you apologized, which may or may not be our business to know, you clearly won't settle things.  But that's up to you.

I will say that I do find it humorous that you have said at least twice that you are done in a thread, only to post again.   ;D

Damn, I talk too much.   ;D

Good post, Hoopz.

I know I said I was not going to respond again, but as you can understand, it's kinda difficult with so many replies and not only the amount of replies, but the nature of them. I would not be doing myself justice if I didn't respond.


However, Hemi you have come across poorly at times and you have to take responsibility for it.

I thought I did, twice.


I'm in no way innocent here


I did my share of nastiness

Hemi, I understand you did post it.  I wasn't doubting you so I'm sorry I didn't point that out.  I'll just say that a certain vendor hasn't taken the high road either and it's cost him because he has to respond to someone.  Same thing I tell my kids, you're better off just walking away.  I understand why you don't though.  Your call.

Cheffo, start getting Ebay auctions pulled and I am sure you'll get the biz from people.   :laugh2:

He's stated in the past that he's not going to apologize to Saint because he feels Saint is the one that wronged him.

Regardless, Saint still asked that we give him a second chance, so instead of dwelling on how this kid annoyed so many people so quickly, lets honor Saint's wishes and let the past remain in the past.

If the kid would just apologize (or hey, even better, leave), I'd be less apt to ---fudgesicle--- with him.

Due to my better judgement, I had to post again, but even as I'm posting this, I regret it. Some of these guys just get under my skin too much to let it slide. I know I would get banned before 4 or 5 "career" members, but, I can't let some of these people go with what they say.

@ Ginsu. You forget, I can ---fudgesicle--- with you too, only I'm not the one begging Saint to have YOU banned. Who is the kid now? Asking his daddy to get the bad man out of here. The way I see it, you own me an apology yourself. How about I get that from you or YOU leave?

I guess the author of this thread is not going to backup his words when he created this thread, as these great forum members are doing the exact opposite of his wishes.

I do give Saint credit in that he gave me every chance to get along here and I think most of the last few days I have tried to do that. I also do NOT give Saint credit for giving some of these other members so many chances to insult me and screw me over and leaving me defenseless due to me commenting earns me a ban in all probability.

While we all have our opinions as to what Hemi should do (including Hemi himself), saint asked all of us not to bait Hemi and, in turn, for Hemi not to initiate any more confrontations or other disruptive behaviour. It wasn't entirely unexpected, but it has turned into one big ride on the FailBoat(tm).

I have my own, rather strong, opinion of the situation and what should be done.

BUT, this isn't a democracy ... saint asked and we should comply -- it is his BBQ, after all.

saint trumps Cheffo.
saint trumps Hemi.
saint trumps us all.

Out of respect for saint, I would suggest that *nobody* respond any further in this thread and we see where things go.

I don't follow you around and criticise every post you make

Nobody did that to you. We tend to read most of the new threads, and when your attitude was questionable, we called you on it. End of story.

And this was as close to an apology as I'll get, because you haven't learned your lesson and haven't earned an apology:

Quote
Be cool from this point on, and you can expect the same on my end.

(Ignore removed)

I'm done bringing up stuff from the past, and I'll try to be more civil in the future. I just ask that you read your posts before you finalize them.

The only apology I owe anyone at this point is Saint.

Though I was never baiting Hemi, only pointing out his shortcomings, I apologize for not just shutting up and ignoring him all together.

Remarkably, I actually agree with Hemi in the thread where he posted with Shmokes but only to an extent.  It's a fact that you can have someone at HD or Lowes cut your wood for you. 


You cannot, however, get them to cut anything with more than one cut, and they won't guarantee that the cut is even within a couple inches of what you asked for other than to say it won't be short.  All they do is rough cut wood to within a pretty high margin of error.  Add to that the fact that I've never been able to get anything cut there without spending a half hour trying to find someone to do it.

That's true but if you go in there and talk to the guys first, they'll help you out.  Don't go in there on a weekend when they are busy and expect great things, but if you talk to someone when they aren't busy and explain what you need, they may help you out.  I've had them give me scrap pieces for free that they usually charge for just by being polite, having a conversation etc. 

Their rough cuts just get the job done so you can haul a 4x8 sheet of mdf in the back of your car.  They can make fine cuts that are pretty specific if needed.

Here, Lowes will not cut wood at all. Home depot will cut on a massive machine per Saints price schedule, but they don't even use a tape measure. You get 1" +or - accuracy.

One time, I had Lowes cut some plexi to size for some marquees. You would think by his reaction  that the mere thought of actually looking at the built in measuring tape would give him an aneurysm. I did get the pieces cut to size (and for free), but he half-assed it all and I had to fix one piece with my trusty belt sander. I also had to look over his shoulder the whole time and correct him over and over.

Long story short, don't have a box store cut your stuff to size. You are only asking for trouble.

Yeah, at Lowe's I always get the same stubborn old man who I constantly have to correct. The one time I didn't pay attention, I found out when I was home that he'd cut my control panel plexi 1" too deep. Luckily, I hadn't cut out my control panel yet, so the extra inch wasn't that big a deal, but in a different situation, it could've been.

I really do not want to do that, but it does make sense. I will probably never make it back into the PnR section again and will forever be looked at however these guys want to see me. In the end, I guess I will just stick it out with this name, and it is too much trouble waiting days/weeks to get the new account approved and then also having to explain again why I want to have access to PnR and it would be as a new member on the board and would be denied anyway. It's all just not worth it.

So, wunder, you're on your own with the those Obama lovers... nothing I can do from here and I think they like it that way. Not having a strong voice against their guy in their way is exactly what they are looking for. Not to mention how obvious it would be if I were to join under another name and then again start to bash Obama.  ;D

So, exactly how many times can you drag P&R into the rest of the forum and still not be banned?

You could most definitely redeem yourself with the current screen name. Hell, you could have come back with your original name and been fine. The PROBLEM is your attitude/actions. Stop acting like a pompous ass, start contributing to the forum, and people will eventually accept you.


Oh, and BTW, accusing Saint of persecuting you because of your political affiliation....not such a good idea.

We are back to insulting and being nasty again? If so, let me know, cause I won't be the one on the receiving end this time.

Shardian, you've got some major problems and are pretty screwed in the head. Every time I see you post all you're looking to do is get someone banned. It's pathetic. Don't you have something better to do? Try finding some more divorce garage sales or something, anything is better than seeing you on these boards acting badly.

My point, albeit masked in insult-and-nastiness (tm), is that you are still running around blaming people for their perception of you and blaming saint for kicking you out of PnR.

You are a little kid running around the schoolyard calling people names, poking them with sticks, then acting all "woe-is-me" when somebody gives you a well-deserved swat on the nose.

Here's a clue -- people ignore you because you just don't have anything to say that is worth reading.

I just went through your entire post history, with the exception of the stuff that was post-helled before I could capture it, and your biggest relevant contribution is being a Dolphin fanboy, just like tommy.

All you do is say is the same crap over and over again.

Waah!

If you don't like that I give you the tommy-treatment(tm), then stop making such an effort to behave the way that he did and repeat everything that he ever said.

It didn't work out so well for him and I suspect that it won't work out that well for you.

You can do what you like, cheffo, I just want a square deal in that when you aggravate me, and I aggravate you, we both get banned or we both get away with it. Fair is fair. I don't want to see me out the door without you and I don't want to see you whining about how I'm acting from now on. If this is not how it can be or will be, I advise someone to come and put a lid on you or deal with what happens.

A seemingly fair and interesting point ... and somewhat reminiscent of something that tommy once said ...

BUT

It completely ignores the fact that it isn't just the two of us performing this particular dance -- you are pretty much alone in your unique view of events and your response to them.

I am happy to go head to head with you and, should I cross the line where saint needs to smite me, take the banning and not whine like a 6 year-old ---smurfette--- who's been kicked out of PnR.

Are you up for it ?

I don't see this working out unless we get a Hemi VS Cheffo argument section.  ;D

Either that, or you continue on in the main forum and I will have no choice but to fire back. But yeah, sounds good to me.

Whining? I sad it's sad, unhealthy and I wish people would get over it, I think that's a natural response anyone would take if it was the case for them.
Explaining how other peoples actions are making you sad is pretty much the definition of whining, but whatever it doesn't matter.  Call it observations on the status of humanity for all I care, but "for Pete's sake, stop responding in this thread and just participate in the arcade stuff."

I've been trying to figure that out for a while now.

Add me to the ignore queue

Well, if you have to, you have to. I was wanting everyone to just talk peacefully, but if you cannot handle it, stop making rude remarks.


Ok, AtomSmasher, I thank you for what seems like you trying to look out for me and see me out of this situation. I will try, Atom, I will try.

I don't see you backing off any thread with your name mentioned, failer-chad. You know exactly how it is.

Just get it over with, man. It's never going to end with these guys. At least I think you've learned a bit on how your members are in ways you never knew about before and hopefully you will look at them in a new light and be frightened a bit at what you have seen.

If you are not willing to ban me just yet, at least close down the thread already. This thread is a breading ground and a license you have givin' others (without knowing it) to flame on.

Funny thing is, most of us HAVE backed off. (I make jokes, but I've left you alone, Hemi) You just keep making it worse on yourself. There's nothing we can do.

I know exactly how short the fuse is, but you guys will have your way one way or the other, so I might as well go out the way I want to and say a few things before I go.  

Maybe put this on the front page somewhere: All new members, do not get anyone here pissed at you, it will only lead in your demise. Agree with all they say or you will be banned to the depths of hell with no chance to redeem yourself. The members here will, infact, take turns, pushing you out the door with as many insults as it takes to achieve their mission, you being gone.

Just my quick take on things, not whining at all. Whining is what you do when you want it to end, this is what you do when you know it won't.

You do realize that you just confirmed Chad's comment.  If you had stayed quiet, then he would of been proven wrong.  It's obvious you won't listen to advice, so I guess it's time for me to just kick back and enjoy the show.  I hope this flameout ends spectacularly.  Something similar to Suits00 would be fun.

Go ahead man, pile on, there is plenty of room here.

Funny how some people have nothing better to do and have no other way of being entertained other than contributing worthlessness to other people.

It was not up to you to save me, Atom, you do not have to choose to either help, or hurt, you can walk away too. Follow your own advise. Getting enjoyment out of this is such a complete turnaround from your "angel-like" status you were portraying earlier. Be better than them and all, and then you join them.  :laugh2: Now I have to be better than them, AND you.? That's going to be tough.  :laugh:  ::)

I was one of the "lucky" ones who got to see Suits00's finally drawing before it was pulled and all record of him vanished. I doubt Hemi's got that kind of anger in him.
