Not sure I understand what you're apologising for even after reading the link... is this a joke post or for real?

I didn't really think you have any apologising to do TPB (at least not to me), though I have no proper frame of reference since the thread was removed.

It's already disappointing that just very recently I've found I'm on 3 people's ignore list and I can't work out why, as at last check I've only ever had cause to argue with 1 member. Last thing I wanna do is fall out with people, and it takes a lot for others to truly offend me. From what I recall you're just as blunt as I am with your opinions, but I wouldn't say offensive.

Apology accepted, regardless.

Hi Turnarcades,

After learning of the KPI_Kid,

I'm now of the opinion that a certain individual may have a coercive tendency, that wasn't previously evident.

The things that Frizzle and yourself had to say, are understandable when viewed with that knowledge.

I'm apologising, because I expressed a naive opinion at the time that your remarks were unreasonable.  Though it was an opinion I held with conviction at the time.  In hindsight, I believe I made the wrong judgement call.

So it's not a joke a post.

Your frame of reference is correct.  You read all there was to read.  Nothing spectacular.  Yours was the last post before the thread went to Hell ... if you view the cached version of the thread through Google, you'll see you had the famous last word !!

Take it easy.   


_{BTW ... you're not on my ignore list.  I don't have an ignore list.  That concept's a waste of time.}

Bizarre.  And I haven't put you on my ignore list.  We might have our difference in opinions, but ignoring people posts is just plain rude IMHO.  If you have an issue then voice it.

Agreed.

Saint might like to consider scrapping this "Ignore" feature.

It's just divisive, and serves no positive purpose.

It was one of the most requested features I've been asked to turn on

Some people just can't seem to NOT respond to a baiting post. For these people, the ignore function serves a valuable purpose.

Or to prevent oneself from seeing spoilers from certain individuals who consistently fail to note their posts actually have spoilers

There is an option to leave any negative remarks about a person, but to simply ignore them goes against the purpose of having a community bulletin board.  I'm the first person to raise my hand for being controversial.  Regardless of the issue, the poster or the responder should - well.. must have the right to respond.  Either with a constructive comment or a long walk of a short pier quip.

I would like to see Saint place poll on the Forum Discussion, in the near future to see if the ignore facility should be kept.  I can understand such a facility where there is blatant habitual abuse from the posters in question dominating a unmanageable message board.  But as other member has noticed recently: we have very good admins here.

Just my 2c.  Please don't put me on ignore for it.

I don't see that all that much has changed since. I say let the sleeping dog lie.

OK I figured it out. If you read that linked thread, a dude named KPI_Kid shows up and defends Foley. TBP recognizes KPI_Kid as a thinly veiled David Foley and calls him out on it. At that point TPB had an epiphany and now shares the same opinion of Foley as Frizzle and Turncades, thus the apology.

Great when is the movie coming out?

There is an option to leave any negative remarks about a person,

Isn't that option intended for B/T/S? activities?

I'll refrain from giving my input on the rest of the comment.
